SOUTH-CENTRAL TIMBER DEVELOPMENT V. WUNNICKE
467 U.S. 82 (1984)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This is an appeal of the reversal of circuit court decision, which
issued an injunction against Wunnicke (D) on post sale obligations on timber sold by the
State of Alaska.
FACTS: Alaska (D) wanted to sell 49 million board feet of timber, but with a contractual
requirement that it be processed before it left the state. In return, the price was lower
than it would have been otherwise. The intent was to protect existing in state
timber-processing industries, promote new industries, and derive revenue from all timber
resources. South-Central Timber Development (P), which had processing facilities
out-of-state, brought an action seeking to have the condition declared void as contrary to
the Commerce Clause. The District Court agreed and issued an injunction. The Court of
Appeals reversed, finding it unnecessary to reach the question whether, standing alone, the
requirement would violate the Commerce Clause, because it found implicit congressional
authorization in the federal policy of imposing a primary manufacture requirement on timber
taken from federal land in Alaska. P appealed, and the Supreme Court granted certiorari.
