The following excerpt is from United States v. Lemke, 439 F.2d 762 (9th Cir. 1971):
Subsequent to the decision in the lower court, we decided United States v. Wallace, 435 F.2d 12 (9th Cir. 1970); United States v. Berger, 434 F.2d 610 (9th Cir. 1970), and United States v. Reeb, 433 F.2d 381 (9th Cir. 1970). In each of these cases, we held that a local board member was not required to be a resident of the area over which his local board had jurisdiction.
