United States Ninth Circuit

A city's "Community Events Ordinance" requiring permits for certain categories of community events is, save a single provision, a content-neutral time, place, and manner restriction that does not violate the First Amendment. One provision of the city's administrative interpretation of the ordinance is not constitutionally sound and cannot be enforced, and further, facial challenges to other ordinances were either moot or failed on the merits.
