Sable Communications of California, Inc. v. Federal Communications Commission, Edwin Meese, Attorney General of the United States of America

CYNTHIA HOLCOMB HALL, Circuit Judge.

Sable Communications of California (Sable) filed this action in district court seeking declaratory and injunctive relief against the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Sable claims that a statute and FCC regulation restricting its sexually suggestive telephone services violate its first amendment rights. The district court dismissed the case for lack of jurisdiction and, alternatively, on the ground that the case was not justiciable. This court has jurisdiction over the appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
