093915P.pdf   12/27/2010  Rogers Group, Inc.  v.  City of Fayetteville
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-3915
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Fayetteville   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Bye and Beam, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Injunctions. District court did not err in enjoining enforcement of an ordinance seeking to limit the operation of rock quarries within one mile of the city limits; under Arkansas law, a city can only regulate a quarry if it is found to be a nuisance and a quarry can only be declared a nuisance by a court of competent jurisdiction; in the absence of such a judicial determination, the city has no statutory authority to regulate the quarry in the guise of abating a nuisance; the district court did not err in finding the quarry had established a threat of irreparable harm if it was forced to operate under the ordinance's restrictions.
