Injunction Denied Against Picketing Ordinance

In O'Connell v. City of New Bern, North Carolina, (ED NC, Dec. 10, 2018), a North Carolina federal district court refused to grant a preliminary injunction to block enforcement of the city's ordinance that regulates picketing.  Plaintiff wanted to share his religious, social and political message near MumFest, but was prevented from handing out literature and carrying a cross.
