Federal Election Commission | United States of America

Common Cause v. FEC (92-0249)

Summary

On March 3, 1993, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia dismissed this suit by agreement of both parties. Common Cause had asked the court to order the FEC to take action on an administrative complaint but agreed to drop its claim because the agency had completed the investigation and entered into conciliation agreements with the respondents. In its administrative complaint, Common Cause had alleged that seven individuals had each exceeded the $25,000 annual limit on aggregate federal contributions.
