Civil Protection Order Does Not Violate Free Exercise

In Rogers v. Johnson-Norman, 2005 D.C. App. LEXIS 517 (DC Ct. App., Sept. 26, 2005), the District of Columbia Court of Appeals held that a provision in a civil protection order against an alleged stalker does not deprive him of his constitutional right to the free exercise of religion. The order requires the appellant to stay away from the church that the complaining witness attends in Maryland.
