   District of North Dakota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Heaney, Circuit Judge and
   Holmes, District Judge]
   Civil Case - Civil Rights. District court's invalidation of North Dakota
   statute, as content-based regulation, restricting telephone solicitations to
   those residents who register with the state's "do-not-call" list is reversed. 
   Statute restricting professional solicitors is content neutral; advocacy
   versus solicitation distinction is content neutral. Regulation may be
   upheld because residential privacy is a significant government interest,
   regulation is narrowly tailored, and does not substantially limit charitable
   solicitations. Neither is regulation overbroad. Judge Heaney dissents.
