The Supreme Court of the United States won’t take a case from New Albany about the city’s battle to close an
adult book and movie store.
Denying a writ of certiorari request in New Albany v. New Albany DVD LLC, No. 09-1027, the nation’s top justices
declined to accept a case from the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. The SCOTUS allowed the Indiana Family Institute and International
Municipal Lawyers Association to file amicus briefs in the case, but denied the petition for writ of certiorari. This was
the second case the justices declined to take from Indiana last week.
That means a 7th Circuit decision from September remains in place; the city must present clear evidence that the adult bookstore
is causing excessive litter, crime, or other problems before it can impose additional restrictions on its operations. The
store can remain open pending a hearing on those issues. Judge Sarah Evans Barker in Indianapolis had ruled against the city,
granting an injunction that stopped New Albany from enforcing its ordinance and allowing the store to remain open.














I highly recommend Deanna and her team of professionals that serve the legal community. Great information and many thanks for sharing.
they are pushing these cases against lawyers too far. thought-crime.
vagueness cannot challenged, so let's write all laws vaguely and throw the constitution out the window.Even if the court is operating under a particular law, if they don't it they will change it to their liking. What a joke!!!
Two convictions becomes one conviction with exactly the same sentence, only it is not clear wheter or not that sentence will be 18 months, 120 months or 138 months. Actually if the guns were in a home, whether or not they were his, he is protected under the 2nd amendment. Jurors need to learn the law and the constitution before judging others. The cour5ts need to do this as well.
With all due respect, Rick, I think you probably would be making a mistake by going to law school. The job market for attorneys is so saturated, you may well find yourself unemployed and with a lot of debt. You mention law would be a good supplement to your skills. True. But employers unfortunately don't value that. You will find that a law degree may well pigeonhole you into an attorney slot and limit career options. If you have a good job now I would hold onto that. As an attorney, you may well end up making less with the aforementioned debt.
