053012P.pdf   08/03/2006  State of Minnesota  v.  John Hoeven
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-3012
   District of North Dakota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bright, Author, with Riley and Smith, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Constitutional law. North Dakota laws imposing restrictions on out-of-state hunters do not violate the U.S. Constitution; Minnesota's dormant Commerce Clause claims ended with the passage of the Reaffirmation of State Regulation of Resident and Nonresident Hunting and Fishing Act of 2005, and the district court need not have reached the merits of Minnesota's claim under the dormant Commerce Clause; North Dakota laws authorizing residents to hunt without a license on land they own or lease does not violate the Privileges and Immunity Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
