United States Ninth Circuit

In a case brought by a homeowner who wished to display a 32-square-foot sign reading "For Peace in the Gulf" at his residence, challenging the constitutionality of a state regulation which required him to obtain a variance to do so, homeowner's appeal is dismissed where the remedy imposed in a recently decided Oregon Supreme Court decision rendered plaintiff's claims moot.
