United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
The large size of the current court is due to the fact that both the population of the western states and the geographic jurisdiction of the Ninth Circuit have increased dramatically since Congress, in 1891, created the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

On appeal, the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit held that the amendment was unconstitutional.
If this Court agrees with the government that the 1965 amendment under which petitioner was indicted is a valid exercise of congressional power, there will be no occasion to consider the soundness of the court of appeals’ affirmance of the conviction on another ground.
United States, 351 U.S. It is doubtful that either condition is satisfied here, since wilful nonpossession of a draft card carries the identical punishment as wilful destruction or mutilation, and since nonpossession—as we have argued in our petition in No. 232—is not a necessary element of the crime of destruction or mutilation.

 Morris Polich & Purdy LLP :: Credit Counseling Takes Another Hit   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
In a case of first impression nationwide, the First Circuit held that credit repair companies are not automatically excluded from the definition of a "credit repair organization" simply because they are organized as non profit tax exempt entities.
In the June 1, 2005 opinion, the First Circuit first noted that the CROA's expressed purpose is to "to protect the public from unfair or deceptive advertising and business practices by credit repair organizations." The Court then looked closely at the language Congress used for the nonprofit/tax exempt exclusion.
Finally, the First Circuit opinion would also seem to have wider implications than just application to the CROA and its rationale would include all statutes where either non profit or tax exempt statuses are raised as issues in private litigation.
