Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Stephen B. Potter, James R. Leonard, and Susan L. Parker, of Potter, Carmine & Hodas, Wilmington, Del., for plaintiffs in Civ. A. No. 85-192.

E. Martin Knepper, Wilmington, Del., for plaintiffs in Civ. A. No. 85-374; Burton W. Sandler, Towson, Md., of counsel.

Karen L. Johnson, City of Wilmington Law Dept., Wilmington, Del., for defendants in Civ. A. Nos. 85-192, 85-374.


OPINION

CALEB M. WRIGHT, Senior District Judge.

Plaintiffs in these consolidated lawsuits challenge the constitutionality of a City of Wilmington ordinance restricting the location of "adult entertainment establishments" within the city limits. The Court must decide here how a Delaware statute regulating the location of such establishments might affect the ability of the City of Wilmington to enforce its ordinance.
