Alameda Books, Inc. v. City of Los Angeles

Issue: (1) Whether, under the doctrine formulated in this Court"s earlier decision in this case, the City bears the burden of proving that its challenged ordinance would not simply cause the affected movie arcades to close; and (2) whether, in a First Amendment challenge to an adult zoning ordinance, a plaintiff should prevail on summary judgment where the uncontroverted evidence establishes that the ordinance would operate to eliminate the affected movie arcade venues.
