Z Street v. Koskinen, No. 15-5010 (D.C. Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseZ Street filed suit against the Commissioner, alleging that the “Israel Special Policy” violates the First Amendment. Z Street alleges that the agency has an “Israel Special Policy” under which applications from organizations holding “political views inconsistent with those espoused by the Obama administration” receive increased “scrutin[y]” that results in such applications “tak[ing] longer to process than those made by organizations without that characteristic.” The court agreed with the district court that Z Street seeks not to restrain “the assessment or collection” of a tax, but rather to obtain relief from unconstitutional delay, the effects of which it is now suffering. Accordingly, the court affirmed the district court's denial of the Commissioner's motion to dismiss.
