Faced with a federal court challenge by several Atlanta artists, the city of Atlanta has agreed to halt enforcement of a city ordinance that officials had cited in threatening to obliterate publicly visible murals on private property.

On June 23, U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg signed a consent order formally barring enforcement of the 1982 ordinance. Totenberg ordered city attorneys to notify all city employees charged with enforcing the ordinance of the ban.
