Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Florida
_________________________
(January 17, 2001)
Before TJOFLAT, BARKETT and POLITZ*, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Katherine Harris, Robert Butterworth, and various Florida state officials,
acting in their official capacities, appeal from an order enjoining the enforcement
of Florida Statutes Section 106.011(1), which governs the financing of electoral
campaigns.
Appellants concede that the statute is overbroad but suggest that the district
court should have interpreted the statute in a way that would pass constitutional
muster. Upon review we find no error in the district court’s enjoining the
enforcement of Florida Statutes Section 106.011(1) because it is unconstitutionally
overbroad under the First Amendment.
AFFIRMED.
*
Honorable Henry A. Politz, U.S. Circuit Judge for the Fifth Circuit, sitting by
designation.
