Ninth Circuit

NON-SUBSTANTIVE OFFENSES - STATUTORY CONSTRUCTION - EXPRESSIO UNIUS EST EXCLUSIO ALTERIUS
Longview Fibre Co. v. Rasmussen, 980 F.2d 1307, 1312-13 (9th Cir. 1992) (statutory construction maxim expressio unius est exclusio alterius means when some statutory provisions expressly mention a requirement, the omission of that requirement from other statutory provisions implies that the drafter intended the inclusion of the requirement in the instances in which it was listed but not in others).
