Fort Collins, CO passes on U.S. Supreme Court appeal We reported in the April 2019 issue that the outgoing City Council of Fort Collins, CO had deferred to the incoming council to decide whether to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court the City's recent defeat in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit regarding its ordinance banning public exposure of female breasts. Enforcement is enjoined while the case works its way through the courts. It is currently remanded to the U.S. District Court for further review. The newly seated City Council voted 4-3 on May 21 against proceeding with an appeal, although it has until June 17 to change its mind in case settlement agreements with the plaintiffs fail. The 10th District's decision is binding on Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Kansas, Utah and Oklahoma. Because it's at odds with decisions of a couple of other U.S. District Courts, there is the potential for a U.S. Supreme Court review of a similar case from elsewhere. For details, read Fort Collins won't pursue ban on public toplessness to U.S. Supreme Court. We will continue to monitor this case and report on updates as they occur.
