MICHAEL DALY HAWKINS, Circuit Judge:

We must determine whether the district court was correct in concluding as a matter of law that ordinances of the City of Los Angeles (the "City" or "Los Angeles") prohibiting the operation of adult businesses that both sell adult products and contain facilities for the viewing of adult movies or videos were inadequately supported by evidence of adverse impact so as to violate the First Amendment. We affirm.
