V

PLAINTIFFS
CIVIL ACTION NO: 1:18-CV-32-SA-DAS

CITY OF STARKVILLE

DEFENDANT
AGREED ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Upon joint motion of the parties, the Court is advised that the claims of Starkville Pride,
Bailey McDaniel, and Emily Turner against the City of Starkville, Mississippi have been
compromised and settled on the following facts and circumstances:
1. Plaintiffs filed their complaint in the above-referenced action on February 26, 2018.
2. On the same day, Plaintiffs filed a motion for preliminary injunction to have the City
grant their parade application.
3. On March 6, 2018, approximately one week after the lawsuit was filed, the City
reconsidered and subsequently granted Plaintiff’s parade permit application.
4. The parties have reached an agreement for the compromise and settlement of all claims
made, or which could have been made, in this case, including claims for attorney fees. While not
admitting that it violated any constitutional rights of the plaintiffs, the City acknowledges that it
may not deny a parade permit on the basis of unconstitutional grounds.
THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that any and all claims by
or on behalf of Starkville Pride, Bailey McDaniel, and Emily Turner are hereby dismissed with
prejudice with each party to bear its own costs.
SO ORDERED, this the 18th day of June, 2018.
