It’s back –

The high-profile litigation about use of Dallas’s convention center by “Exxxotica,” which bills itself as “The Largest Adult Event in the USA Dedicated to Love & Sex,” was brought back to life by a divided Fifth Circuit panel in Three Expo Events LLC v. City of Dallas, No. 17-10632 (Oct. 24, 2018). The issue was standing; two judges agreed that the named plaintiff had alleged a direct injury, with one writing a detailed opinion and the other concurring in the result. A dissent would have affirmed, agreeing with the district court’s distinction between the entity that sued and the entity that would have operated the event in question.
