022931P.pdf   01/30/2004  Jake's Ltd., Inc.  v.  City of Coates
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-2931
                          and No:  02-3835
   District of Minnesota   
Civil case - Contempt. District court did not err in finding that the City demonstrated, by clear and convincing evidence, that Jake's acted in contempt of a injunction prohibiting sexually-oriented business when it continued to offer live nude dancing at its establishment; district court did not err in awarding City attorneys' fees and costs in connection with bringing the contempt proceedings; $68,000 fine imposed in second contempt proceeding concerning Jake's practice of offering clothed lap dancing was a criminal contempt sanction imposed without proper procedural protections, as the fine was unconditional and covered conduct not previously adjudged to violate the court's broad and complex injunction; as the district court's injunction was overbroad and has embroiled the court in day-to-day enforcement of local zoning ordinances, a matter more properly handled by the state courts, the case is remanded with directions to the district court to modify its injunction so that the decree only prohibits Jake's from conducting the specific sexually-oriented business - live nude dancing - at issue when the litigation began.
