How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • concluding that defendant unions were entitled to a good 1 faith defense against claims that they had unconstitutionally deducted fees from public 2 employees’ paychecks because they followed applicable laws allowing for such 3 deductions at the time
  • applying the reasoning from the court's former order dismissing the claims against the state defendants as moot to the claims against the union defendant
  • noting the Ninth Circuit did not require an analysis of analogous common law torts in Clement but suggesting the Second Circuit in Pinsky did
  • “Although the precise contours of the defense have not been clearly defined by the Supreme Court, circuit courts, including the Ninth Circuit, have acknowledged its general contours of equity [sic] and fairness.”
