   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-3290
                          and No:  19-3310
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Davenport   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Loken, Circuit 
   Judge] 
   Civil case - Injunctions. Plaintiff sought to enjoin enforcement of the 
   City's Special Events Policy, which he alleged abridged his First 
   Amendment rights to preach and display signs in public spaces during 
   certain events, such as the City's annual Street Fest; the district court 
   found that the Street Fest was a traditional public forum and that law 
   enforcement's decision to move plaintiff to an adjacent location was 
   likely a content-neutral limitation on the time, place, and manner of his 
   speech; the district court then denied plaintiff's request for a 
   preliminary injunction. Held: the district court did not err in 
   determining the Special Events Policy was content-neutral; even if 
   plaintiff could show a likelihood of success on the merits, he was not 
   entitled to injunctive relief because he failed to establish he will 
   suffer irreparable harm absent the court's intervention; on this record, 
   the district court did not err in denying plaintiff's request for 
   preliminary injunctive relief.
