Land Use—Court Reaffirms Injunction Against Enforcement of Municipal Code Regulating Demonstrations on Public Property—Conservative Group Wanted To Counter-Protest BLM Demonstration—Demonstration Permit Requirements Were Too Onerous and "Chilled" Free Speech

The plaintiffs commenced an action against a city and certain municipal officials (defendants) challenging the constitutionality of a City Code (§87). The plaintiffs asserted that §87 violated the First, Second and Fourteenth amendments to the U.S. Constitution. The defendants had moved for reconsideration of the court's prior decision and order granting the plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction. The court denied the defendants' motion for reconsideration.
