How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that statutes containing a specific intent requirement while prohibiting certain types of communication do not implicate the First Amendment because they prohibit harassment, not speech
  • holding that defendant lacked standing to raise constitutional challenge to harassment statute, the court found “the narrow exception to the standing requirement inapplicable” because the statute “‘regulates conduct as well as speech’” (quotation omitted)
  • holding harassment statute constitutional because it “regulates neither constitutionally protected speech nor expressive conduct”
  • A.R.S § 13-2921 “does not apply to pure First Amendment speech and instead regulates, at most, a blend of speech and conduct”
  • repeated phone calls to victim by disappointed suitor after court had entered a no contact order
  • both relying on the statutory requirement of a specific intent to harass
