9th Cir.
12-35809
The court of appeals granted a motion for stay pending appeal. The court held that a district court order permanently enjoining enforcement of Montanas statutory campaign contribution limits had to be stayed in light of governing circuit precedent, the states interest in regulating campaign contributions, the lack of evidence that other parties would be substantially injured, and the publics substantial interest in the stability of its electoral system in the final weeks leading to an election.
