STEARNES v. BAUR'S OPERA HOUSE, INC.

No. 91-3025.

788 F.Supp. 375 (1992)

Mark W. STEARNES, Plaintiff, v. BAUR'S OPERA HOUSE, INC., a Delaware corporation, d/b/a Baur's Opera House, Defendant.

United States District Court, C.D. Illinois, Springfield Division.

March 31, 1992.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Steven C. Ward, Springfield, Ill., for plaintiff.

Patrick J. Londrigan, Michael Metnick, Springfield, Ill., for defendant.

OPINION

RICHARD MILLS, District Judge:

The Constitution does not guarantee to each patron of a bar and dance hall the right to hear the music he or she prefers.

Baur's Opera House is a dance bar in Springfield, the capitol city of Illinois, and this lawsuit — brought under the public accommodation provision of § 2000a of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 — alleges that Baur's discriminated against Plaintiff because he was black.
