"Q"-Lungian Enterprises, Inc. v. Town of Windsor Locks

RULING ON CROSS-MOTIONS FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

Jeffrey Alker Meyer, United States District Judge

Nude dancing is expressive activity that qualifies for protection as “free speech” under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The plaintiffs in this lawsuit ran a billiards bar and restaurant known as “Pool Table Magic” in the Town of Windsor Locks, Connecticut.
