United States Eighth Circuit

Orders favoring defendants in a 42 U.S.C. section 1983 challenge to the constitutionality of a municipal ordinance prohibiting plaintiff from displaying a flashing or blinking electronic sign are affirmed where the ordinance was content-neutral on its face, was narrowly tailored to serve a significant government interest in aesthetics and traffic safety, and allowed ample alternative channels for communication of plaintiff's messages.
