v.
WILLIAM THOMAS
ELLEN BENJAMIN, a/k/a Ellen Thomas
ROBERT A. DORROUGH
WILLIAM THOMAS
DAVID B. MANNING
CONCEPCION PICCIOTTO
ANTHONY J. NELSON
Defendant Picciotto has requested this Court to dismiss information on the grounds that Ms. Picciotto is being discriminatorily prosecuted for the exercise of her first amendment rights, and that Ms. Picciotto's vigil is protected by the first amendment. Ms. Picciotto also alleges that the anti-camping regulations at issue here are unconstitutionally void for vagueness and therefore subject to arbitrary enforcement. Defendants David Manning, William Thomas, Anthony Nelson, Ellen B. Thomas, and Robert A. Dorrough specifically join Picciotto's motion.
Having considered the motion and memorandum in support thereof, and the government's opposition, the motion is, this 14th day of September, 1984, denied pending the commencement of the trial on Monday, the 17th of September, 1984.
JOYCE HENS GREEN
