MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Patel v. Penman, 103 F.3d 868 (9th Cir. 1996):
When a government's action does not involve a suspect classification or implicate a fundamental right, it will survive constitutional scrutiny for an equal protection violation as long as it bears a rational relation to a legitimate state interest. New Orleans v. Dukes, 427 U.S. 297, 303-04, 96 S.Ct. 2513, 2516-17, 49 L.Ed.2d 511 (1976); Lockary v. Kayfetz, 917 F.2d 1150, 1155 (9th Cir.1990).
