United States Seventh Circuit

In an action challenging a city's "traffic hazard policy" banning displays from certain overpasses and alleging that plaintiff's constitutional rights of free speech and freedom of religion were infringed when he was forced to move his demonstrations away from freeway overpasses, judgment for defendants is affirmed where: 1) the passage of the ordinance at issue made any claim for declaratory and injunctive relief moot; and 2) there was no constitutional harm to plaintiff cognizable under 42 U.S.C. section 1983.
