The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Sahhar, 917 F.2d 1197 (9th Cir. 1990):
3 Although the fifth amendment does not contain an equal protection clause, as does the fourteenth amendment, the federal government must nevertheless provide persons with "equal protection of the laws." See Bolling v. Sharpe, 347 U.S. 497, 499, 74 S.Ct. 693, 694, 98 L.Ed. 884 (1954).
