Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Rules in Deferred Action Suit

While the ruling was unanimous, Arizona has indicated that it will likely pursue further legal action. AAMVA has published the ruling, along with other judicial rulings of importance to the AAMVA membership, on the Government Affairs portion of the AAMVA Web site.  Note that each tab on the site contains information pertaining to each branch of government.
