Samuel Armstrong v. Gavin Newsom, Governor of California, et al.
DueProcess FirstAmendment
Did Governor Newsom's Executive Order N-33-20 violate the Due Process Clause?
QUESTIONS PRESENTED Did Governor Newsom’s Executive Order N-33-20, mandating that Californians “stay home” to prevent the spread of COVID-19, violate the rights of petitioner and all similarly-situated Californians guaranteed to them by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment? In evaluating the due process claim, does Jacobson v. Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11 (1905) provide the governing standard, or does a stricter level of scrutiny apply to such emergency measures taken during a proclaimed public crisis, as suggested by more-recent precedent like Roman Cath. Diocese of Brooklyn v. Cuomo, 141 8. Ct. 63, 208 L. Ed. 2d 206 (2020)?
