   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-3036
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
[PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Wollman and Loken, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Missouri House of Worship Protection Act. The Act - Mo. Rev. Stat. Section 574.035 - which prohibits intentionally disturbing a house of worship using profane discourse, rude or indecent behavior, either within the house of worship or so near it as to disturb the order and solemnity of worship services cannot survive strict scrutiny since Section 574.035(3)(1) of the Act draws content based distinctions that are not necessary to achieve the state's asserted interest in protecting the free exercise of religion; reversed and remanded for further proceedings.
