Price v. INS
United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
963 F.2d 836 (1991)
- Written by Christopher Bova, JD
Facts
John Price (defendant) moved from the United Kingdom to the United States and was granted resident alien status in 1960. He thereafter remained in the United States to work. In 1984, Price applied to petition for naturalization but refused to answer Question 18 on the application which asked him to list all present or past affiliation with any organization or association. Instead, he submitted a legal brief arguing that Question 18 violated his First Amendment right of association. The district court denied his petition due to his refusal to answer Question 18. This appeal followed.
