   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-1922
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Arnold and Benton, Circuit Judges]
   Civil Case - civil rights. Injunction against nonprofit corporation
   from prohibiting certain individual expression during Memorial Day
   event is affirmed. Finding corporation is a state actor was not
   error, as corporation's authority to impose speech restriction
   derived from City's grant to it of temporary control over the space
   and City provided critical assistance in planning and operating the
   event and in enforcing the particular speech restrictions dictated by
   the corporation. Finding that City and corporation acted like partners
   was not clearly erroneous. District court did not err in holding
   corporation's curtailment of freedom of expression constituted state
   action and was actionable. Permitting freedom of expression to public
   did not violate corporation's First Amendment rights, corporation did
   not show injunction infringed its own ability to deliver its chosen
   message and it was permitted to impose reasonable time, place and
   manner restrictions.
