MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
CROW, Senior District Judge.
This free speech case is before the court on the parties’ cross motions for summary judgment. Plaintiff alleges that the City of Topeka has violated his civil rights under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 by enforcing an express policy that caused a constitutional deprivation. See Monell v. Dep’t of Soc. Servs., 436 U.S. 658, 694, 98 S.Ct. 2018, 56 L.Ed.2d 611 (1978). Plaintiff has requested oral argument of the motions, but the court does not believe that such argument would be of material assistance in this matter.
