United States Eighth Circuit
JAKE'S, LTD., INC. v. CITY OF COATES, 02-2931, 02-3835
District court did not err in finding that plaintiff acted in contempt of an injunction prohibiting sexually-oriented business when it continued to offer live nude dancing. Fine imposed in second contempt proceeding, concerning plaintiff's practice of offering clothed lap dancing, was a procedurally improper criminal contempt sanction, as the fine was unconditional and covered conduct not previously adjudged to violate the injunction.
