Gregory Luce, et al., Petitioners v. Town of Campbell, Wisconsin, 17-1186, Reply of petitioners Gregory Luce et al, Main Document (U.S. Apr. 6, 2018)
Indeed, by eliminating the need for empirical evidence, the Seventh Circuit panel ruled that any speech visible from the roadway can be banned simply by a municipality invoking a traffic or public safety justification, however unfounded.
As this Court has clarified, “[o]n summary judgment the inferences to be drawn from the underlying facts ... must be viewed in the light most favorable to the party opposing the motion.” Matsushita Elec.
The town asserts that a factual dispute exists because the discredited Chief of Police, Tim Kelemen, was not the only officer to witness potential traffic safety issues.
Respondent claims, “The Town presented evidence of traffic safety problems caused by the protests, such as cars illegally parked on the side of the Interstate with the occupants taking photographs of the overpass protests.” (Resp. 1).
The record includes the opinion of a traffic safety engineer stating that “viewing activity on the overpass does not require a driver diverting attention to a point where vital roadway information would be compromised.” (App. 87) (emphasis added).

Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, et al., Petitioners v. International Refugee Assistance Project, et al., 16-1436, Application of Donald J Trump President (U.S. Jul. 26, 2017)
In No. 16-1436, the Fourth Circuit upheld a global injunction barring enforcement of Section 2(c) of the Order, which temporarily suspends entry of nationals of six countries, on the basis that it likely violates the Establishment Clause.
In addition to those questions, the Court directed the parties to address “[w]hether the challenges to [Section] 2(c) became moot on June 14, 2017.” IRAP, slip op.
There is considerable overlap in the issues presented in these cases, which both concern legal challenges to the same Executive Order.
In light of the five questions presented, as well as because each case presents different facts and the lower courts adopted different rationales, the government further respectfully submits that a single opening brief of 15,000 words and a single reply brief of 6,000 words would be inadequate to provide a thorough airing of the issues.

Luce, Gregory et al v. Town of Campbell, Wisconsin et al, 3:14-cv-00046, No. 219 (W.D.Wis Jan. 9, 2020)
Motion for Attorney FeesPartial
Plaintiffs Gregory Luce and Nicholas Newman brought this suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against defendant the Town of Campbell, challenging the constitutionality of an ordinance prohibiting signs, banners, flags and other similar items on or within 100 feet of a pedestrian bridge or overpass.
This court granted summary judgment in favor of defendants, holding that the ordinance was a reasonable time, place and manner restriction on plaintiffs’ First Amendment rights.
However, the court is not relying on plaintiffs’ request of $1 in nominal damages -- addressed below -- but instead on the court’s entry of a permanent injunction (albeit limited in scope) to find that plaintiffs are entitled to an award under § 1988.
The court agrees with defendant that a substantial discount is warranted here given: (1) the very limited scope of relief achieved in this lawsuit; (2) plaintiffs’ focus on enjoining the Ordinance with respect to the overpass itself, rather than simply the buffer zone; and (3) the loss of plaintiffs’ related First Amendment retaliation claim.
For the reasons explained above, the amended judgment materially alters the parties’ legal relationship by permanently enjoining “the Town from enforcing Ordinance 912.2(2)” as far as barring signs within the 100-foot buffer zone.

Amici, due to their race, income level, or current stage in life, have not been afforded the privilege of having their voices heard in front of the Court, yet are likely to be the most dramatically impacted by society’s approach to transgender issues.
In order to escape scrutiny, a man or woman bears the burden of matching very specific, subjective ideas of what it means to be “male” or “female,” and those whose appearance even slightly deviates from that description will 20 Mercedes Allen, Trans History 101: Transgender Expression in Ancient Times, LGBTQ Nation (Feb. 24, 2016), http://www.lgbtqnation.com/2016/02/trans-history-101- transgender-expression-in-ancient-times/3/.

The debilitating fear of in-class participation is replaced by a proud answer when a professor refers to me as “Mx.” with the same facility that she calls other students “Mr.” or “Ms.” I start to believe that I could work a full day without apprehension when an employer shows an openness to using my pronouns.

Gloucester County School Board, Petitioner v. G. G., By His Next Friend and Mother, Deirdre Grimm, 16-273, Brief amici curiae of National (U.S. Jan. 10, 2017)
Because of its advocacy and public education activities surrounding gender-identity issues, NOM has been the recipient of scientific reports on sexuality and gen- der, as well as scores of anecdotal examples of threats to privacy and safety that have occurred in the wake of the adoption of policies that eliminate gender-spe- cific access to intimate facilities such as restrooms, showers, and locker rooms.
In other words, this funda- mental shift in policy and rejection of “common sense [and] decency,” Sepulveda v. Ramirez, 967 F.2d 1413, 1416 (9th Cir. 1992), directly contrary to a statutory exemption and express language in the statute’s im- plementing regulation, was manufactured out of whole cloth by a single, relatively low-level, unelected, and unconfirmed bureaucrat at the Department of Ed- ucation’s Office of Civil Rights.3

June 24, 2017 Honorable Scott S. Harris Clerk Supreme Court of the United States Washington, D.C. 20543
Re: Donald J. Trump, et al. v. International Refugee Assistance Project, et al., Nos. 16-1436 & 16A1190 The respondents respectfully submit this letter to inform the Court that on or about June 22, 2017, plaintiff John Doe #1’s wife was granted an immigrant visa.
As the plaintiffs have made clear, even if John Doe #1’s wife is able to enter the United States, he would still be injured by a ban that particularly targets him and condemns his religion.
Here, by preventing the Order that condemns John Doe #1’s religion from going into effect, the injunction below will continue to redress his Establishment Clause injury.
