Rizzo v. Goode

Case Date: 10/02/1976

Rizzo v. Goode, 423 U.S. 362 (1976), was United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that a prophylactic injunction against non culpable state executive officials was an overbroad interference by the Federal Courts in the state executive branches. In doing so, the court created a limit on the federal injunctive power in matters of state agency internal affairs.[1]
