Veneklase v. City of Fargo
Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
Decided February 16, 2000No. 98-2147PublishedCited by 5 opinions
1Per curiam
The City of Fargo (“Fargo”) appeals from a summary judgment decision holding Fargo’s 1985 residential picketing ordinance unconstitutional on its face; a jury award of damages in the amount of $2,431; and an award of attorneys’ fees against Fargo. We conclude that the Fargo 1985 residential picketing ordinance constitutes a constitutional, content-neutral regulation of free speech enacted to protect the privacy of Fargo’s residents in their homes. We, therefore, reverse and remand for entry of judgment dismissing the action.
