Pechman, District Judge, Presiding Argued and Submitted February 4, 2019 Seattle, Washington Filed July 3, 2019 Before: Sandra S. Ikuta and Morgan Christen, Circuit Judges, and Jennifer Choe-Groves,* Judge. Opinion by Judge Christen * The Honorable Jennifer Choe-Groves, Judge for the United States Court of International Trade, sitting by designation. 2 EDGE V. CITY OF EVERETT SUMMARY** Constitutional Law / Preliminary Injunction The panel vacated the district court’s preliminary injunction against enforcement of the City of Everett, Washington’s Dress Code Ordinance—requiring that the dress of employees, owners, and operators of Quick-Service facilities cover “minimum body areas”—and the amendments to the Lewd Conduct Ordinances. Plaintiffs are owners and employees of a bikini barista stand in Everett, Washington. The panel held that plaintiffs did not show a likelihood of success on the merits of their two Fourteenth Amendment void-for-vagueness challenges, nor on their First Amendment free expression claim. Concerning the Lewd Conduct Ordinances, which expanded the definition of “lewd act” and also created the misdemeanor offense of Facilitating Lewd Conduct, the panel held that the activity the Lewd Contact Amendments prohibited was reasonably ascertainable to a person of ordinary intelligence.

  • “Bikini Baristas” Dress Code Ordinance by Kristel Tupja
    For exclusive use of MLRC members and other parties specifically authorized by MLRC. © 2019 Media Law Resource Center, Inc. Page 54 August 2019 MLRC MediaLawLetter Ninth Circuit Rejects Challenge to “Bikini Baristas” Dress Code Ordinance By Kristel Tupja In a ruling parsing when conduct becomes sufficiently expressive to warrant First Amendment protection, the Ninth Circuit found that a lack of clothing at “bikini barista” coffee shops alone did not implicate speech rights and vacated a preliminary injunction against enforcement of a local dress code ordinance. The appellate court also rejected a due process challenge to the ordinance. Edge v. City of Everett, 2019 WL 2864410 (9th Cir. July 3, 2019). A federal district court in Washington had held that the plaintiffs demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits of their First Amendment challenge to the Dress Code Ordinance because their “choice to wear provocative attire … constituted sufficiently expressive conduct to warrant First Amendment protection.” The District Court also held that the plaintiffs demonstrated a likelihood of success on their void-for-vagueness argument, citing the term “anal cleft” in the definition of “lewd act” as vague, and a term that a person of reasonable intelligence would not readily understand. In vacating that ruling, the Court of Appeals concluded that lack of The Court concluded clothing in this context fails the second prong of the test for expression that lack of clothing conduct in Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 (1989)—i.e., that the in this context fails message is likely to be understood. The Court also found that terms available in a common dictionary, and that are used in connection with the second prong of other similar terms, are not ambiguous and cannot be considered void the test for for vagueness.
