Susan L. Kamlet, Asst. U.S. Atty., San Francisco, Cal., for defendants.

AMENDED ORDER

PECKHAM, District Judge.

I. INTRODUCTION

Defendants denied plaintiff a United States passport on the ground that plaintiff is not a United States citizen. Plaintiff, whose mother was an American citizen, argues that the applicable statute, which grants citizenship to the foreign-born offspring of male American citizens but not female American citizens, violates her right to the equal protection of the laws.
