The appeal was from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California Milton L. Schwartz, Senior Judge, Presiding (he was not a party to this judgement).

The three-judge panel at the UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT: Alfred T. Goodwin (Nixon), Stephen Reinhardt (Carter) and Ferdinand F. Fernandez (Bush1), Circuit Judges

The opinion was written by Judge Goodwin, with Partial Concurrence and Partial Dissent by Judge Fernandez.

Judge Fernandez concurred only that the court had jurisdiction -- he dessented, with vehemence, from the majority opinion declaring the pledge unconstitutional.

Fox still hasn't learned to read legal briefs (remember the SCOTUS decision?)
