Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit May 15, 2001, 00-15387 (Randall Amster v. City of Tempe)

TALLMAN, Circuit Judge:

We must determine the facial constitutionality of a city ordinance that requires a person who wishes to sit or lie on a city sidewalk for specific kinds of events to first obtain a permit. Randall Amster argues that requiring a permit when such conduct occurs as part of a demonstration violates the First Amendment. We hold that it does not.
