[PROPOSED] CONSENT JUDGMENT
2
On June 7, 2011, Plaintiff Local Search Association ("LSA") brought this action against
3
defendants the City and County of San Francisco, the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of
4
San Francisco, and San Francisco Mayor Edwin M. Lee (collectively "City"), challenging San
5
Francisco Ordinance 78-11, codified at San Francisco Environment Code §§ 2101 – 2108, and seeking
6
declaratory and injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees.
7
LSA and the City dispute whether Ordinance 78-11 was constitutional at the time it was
8
enacted, but the parties agree that under Dex Media West Inc. v. City of Seattle, 696 F.3d 952 (9th Cir.
9
Oct. 15, 2012), Ordinance 78-11 is unconstitutional under the First Amendment to the United States
10
Constitution and may not be enforced.
11
By stipulation, the Court therefore enters this Consent Judgment against the City and in favor
12
of Plaintiff. The City shall pay $85,000 in fees and costs to Plaintiff. The parties shall otherwise bear
13
their own fees and costs.
14
IT IS SO ORDERED.
