How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that the trial court erred in granting defendant's motion to dismiss because plaintiff's allegation that he was the only person against whom town ordinance was enforced was equivalent to a bill of attainder
• noting that municipalities are not bound by federal separation-of-powers restrictions and that “many cities elect to fuse legislative and executive powers in the ‘city manager’ style of government”
• \Gaffes in the enforcement of an ordinance are neither here nor there for federal purposes ....\
• town could not, consistent with equal protection clause, maliciously single out store-owner for enforcement of law against display of portable signs
