McMaster, No. 3:08-04016-CMC (D.S.C. Aug. 13, 2009): A federal judge held that "a South Carolina law limiting the placement of billboards advertising adult businesses is unconstitutional." The Sign Statute at issue, S.C. Code Ann. § 57-25-145 (enacted in 2006), "prohibits most businesses which offer sexually-oriented materials or entertainment from using any 'offpremises, outdoor advertising . . . located within one mile of a public highway.'" Grandfathered signs, such as those at issue in this case, were given until February 2009 to come into compliance with the law. Carolina Pride sued and was granted a preliminary injunction--and the government appealed.]]> http://www.communitydefense.org/wordpress/2009/08/13/sc-federal-judge-strikes-statute-regulating-adult-business-billboards/feed/ 0 http://www.communitydefense.org/wordpress/2009/06/26/ks-district-court-grants-injunction-against-enforcement-of-signage-ordinance/ http://www.communitydefense.org/wordpress/2009/06/26/ks-district-court-grants-injunction-against-enforcement-of-signage-ordinance/#comments Fri, 26 Jun 2009 20:03:04 +0000 admin http://www.communitydefense.org/wordpress/?p=861 Abilene Retail No. 30 Inc., d/b/a Lion's Den Adult Superstore vs. Six, No. 09-2195-JAR, 2009 WL 1850597 (D.
