The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit this week turned back a Los Angeles lawyer’s constitutional challenge to the state’s suspension of his driver’s license and publication of his name on the list of the state’s top 500 delinquent taxpayers.

The court on Wednesday called Ernest Franceschi Jr. of Franceschi Law Corp. a “major tax delinquent” and upheld a lower court ruling dismissing his lawsuit against officials with the state’s franchise tax board and Department of Motor Vehicles.
