Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
Decided November 21, 1983No. 82-6061PublishedCited by 14 opinions
1Per curiam
Gayety Theatres, Inc. operates the Pussycat II, a purveyor of sexually explicit films and videotapes. In 1982 a Florida state court enjoined Gayety’s showing of a certain unnamed videotape. As a further sanction, the City of Miami revoked Gayety’s business license for one year pursuant to section 31-37 of its city code. Gayety sued in district court and obtained a permanent injunction restraining the city from revoking its business license. This appeal followed.
We affirm on the basis of the district court’s memorandum opinion of October 1, 1982, a copy of which is appended.
AFFIRMED.
