Ib Otto Astrup, and v. Immigration & Naturalization Service

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit January 18, 1971

Ib Otto Astrup, and v. Immigration & Naturalization Service, 432 F.2d 438 (9th Cir. 1971)

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The decision and order of the district court denying citizenship to Astrup is affirmed. We believe that he is concluded by Lapenieks v. Immigration and Naturalization Service, 9 Cir., 389 F.2d 343, cert. den. 391 U.S. 951, 88 S.Ct. 1846, 20 L.Ed.2d 864.

He made a considered decision initially to claim his alienage as a ground for avoiding military service. We believe the situation should be tested as of the time his claim was made.

District Judge PLUMMER dissents for the reasons stated by Judge Duniway in his dissent in Lapenieks.
