181753P.pdf   05/20/2019  Lawrence Willson  v.  City of Bel-Nor, Missouri
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-1753
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Melloy and Kelly, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Civil rights. The City of Bel-Nor's ordinance limiting the number of signs which can be displayed on private property is a content-based regulation; the interests the city advances for the ordinance - traffic safety and aesthetics - are not compelling, and the ordinance cannot satisfy strict scrutiny; the ordinance is also facially overbroad; as plaintiff was likely to succeed on his First Amendment challenge, the district court erred in denying his motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin enforcement of the ordinance.
