ORDER
ROETTGER, District Judge.
This case could appropriately be titled— with apologies to Neil Simon—Bareback in the Park. Essentially, it involves an assault by Plaintiff, a lawyer, upon the Town of Palm Beach’s ordinance which proscribes running or jogging without a shirt, or top, except on the beach or private property. Plaintiff assails this as violating his first amendment rights, as well as on other bases.
The case has had an extremely complicated procedural background and, if one looks for an aggravating cause of court congestion, this case could be a splendid illustration.
