MEMORANDUM OPINION
THOMAS W. PHILLIPS, District Judge.
This action, brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, challenges the constitutionality of Knox County Ordinance 0-05-2-102 (“Ordinance”), which establishes registration and licensing requirements for sexually-oriented businesses. Two of the plaintiffs, Richland Bookmart, Inc. and Knoxville Adult Video Superstore, sell primarily adult books and videos. The other plaintiff, Greg Turner, d/b/a Raymond’s Place, operates an adult cabaret. Except with respect to one small redaction, the court finds that the Ordinance is constitutional.
