FOLEY V. CONNELIE
435 U.S. 291 (1978)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over whether a State may constitutionally limit
the appointment of members of its police force to citizens of the United States.
FACTS: Foley, is an alien eligible to become a naturalized citizen, who is lawfully in
this country as a permanent resident. He applied for appointment as a New York State
trooper. State authorities refused to allow Foley to take the examination. P then brought
this action seeking a declaratory judgment that the State's exclusion of aliens from its
police force violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. After P was
certified as representative of a class of those similarly situated, a three-judge District
Court was convened to consider the merits of the claim.
