BACKGROUND
Jurisdiction
This case arises in the jurisdiction of the District of Columbia (Washington
DC) which is not part of any state in the Union. There are parallel judicial
tracks in the D.C. District, just like there are in each state.
The State Track. In each state there are state district courts, one or more
appellate
state courts, and a state supreme court; although their names differ. For
example, in
Iowa there are district courts, the Iowa Court of Appeals, and the Iowa
Supreme Court. Generally, a state court has general jurisdiction and hears
cases from residents of its own state. Because its jurisdiction is plenary, a
state court may also hear cases involving a resident from its own state and a
different jurisdiction (diversity jurisdiction cases) or may hear cases involving
federal law (federal question cases). These last two types of cases may be
appealed from a state supreme court to the United States Supreme Court.
The counterpart to the state track in the D.C. District is the Superior Court of
the District of Columbia which hears all cases in the first instance including
trial cases in the same manner as a state district court. The D.C. Court of
Appeals is the highest court authorized to review all final orders and decision

cases originating from a district court. A case heard in the D.C. circuit may
be appealed to the United States Supreme Court.
The Federal Track. The Union is divided into federal circuits grouped by
