A federal challenge to the State of Connecticut’s system of counting incarcerated residents in the district where the prison resides and not where the individual was living prior to incarceration. The district court denied a motion to dismiss.  The State appealed to the 2nd Circuit and the appeal was affirmed in part on the grounds the district court lack jurisdiction and the case needed to be argued before a three judge panel. Following the appeal both parties agreed to voluntarily dismiss the action.
