United States Ninth Circuit

In a suit brought by adult entertainment establishments challenging a zoning ordinance governing the operation of such businesses in San Diego county, dismissal of a state law claim, a severance ruling, and a decision upholding the ordinance's requirements that businesses disperse to industrial areas of the county are affirmed for the most part, but reversed in part on the ground that the district court's manner of severance was in error.
