Description
In this action in which declaratory relief was originally sought, United States District Judge Enslen of the Western District of Michigan concluded that section 4a of the Michigan Comminuted Meat Law, M.C.L.A. § 289.584a, M.S.A. § 12.964(4.1), violates the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution, art. I, § 8, cl. 3. American Meat Institute v. Ball, 550 F. Supp. 285 (W.D. Mich. 1982). The District Court also enjoined further enforcement of section 4a, which requires the posting of placards above meat products not conforming to Michigans ingredient standards. On this appeal defendants raise the following issues: (1) whether the District Court had authority, without convening a three-judge court, to enjoin enforcement of the Michigan statute; (2) whether the District Court committed reversible error by not severing part of the Michigan statute; and (3) whether the injunction can be upheld on the ground not argued through cross appeal that the Michigan statute is preempted by the Federal Wholesale Meat Act, 21 U.S.C. §§ 601-678.
