1Opinion of the Court
PILLARD, Circuit Judge:
Like many municipalities around the country, the District of Columbia regulates the manner in which members of the public may post signs on the District’s lampposts. District of Columbia law allows a posted sign to remain on a public lamppost for up to 180 days. But a sign relating to an event must be removed within 30 days after the event, whether the 180-day period has expired or not.
