Case Summary

Plaintiff-Appellants, the American Civil Liberties Union ("ACLU"), appealed a district court's decision, alleging that the collection of telephone metadata without a warrant violated the First and Fourth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.  The Second Circuit Court of Appeals held that Section 215 of the Patriot Act does not authorize the collection of mass telephone metadata.

The decision establishes a binding or persuasive precedent within its jurisdiction.
