The federal complaint argues the redrawn district map passed by voters violates the Constitution, specifically the 14th and 15th Amendments.
Plaintiffs allege district lines were redrawn in favor of Hispanic voters, which they claim is illegal because Hispanics are not a minority in California.
Lead plaintiff is David Tongipa, a Republican state assembly member in Fresno County.
Plaintiffs are asking a panel of judges to issue an injunction preventing the new map from going into effect.
The case could make its way to the Supreme Court.
