Washington, DC - - (April 6, 2018) - - The United States Court for the District of Utah Central Division on Friday issued a Memorandum Decision and Order in FEC v. Jeremy Johnson and John Swallow (Case 2:15-cv-00439-DB), granting Defendant Swallow’s Motion to Dismiss and denying the Commission’s cross motion for judgment on the pleadings. The court held that the regulation at 11 C.F.R. § 110.4(b)(1)(iii), which provides that the Federal Election Campaign Act’s ban on contributions in the name of another includes those who “knowingly help or assist,” exceeds the Commission’s statutory authority.
