6th Circuit: Street Near Planned Parenthood Clinic Is Traditional Public Forum

In Brindley v. City of Memphis, (6th Cir., July 24, 2019), the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals held that a street adjacent to a Planned Parenthood clinic is a traditional public forum even though the street was originally privately owned.  The court said it is enough that the street looks and functions like a public street. Also the street was dedicated as a public right of way. Thus the court reversed and remanded a district court's denial of a preliminary injunction to a pro-life activist who wanted access to the street. [Thanks to Tom Rutledge for the lead.]
