35 Bar & Grille LLC v. City of San Antonio
35 Bar and Grille LLC, et al. v. The City of San Antonio was a court case in U.S. District court. The case addressed a city ordinance about the amount of bodily coverage needed by semi-nude dancers in San Antonio, Texas. The case reached notoriety in international press when the press discovered that Chief U.S. District Judge Fred Biery's April 29, 2013 order denying a motion for a preliminary injunction was full of puns and double entendres about stripping and sexuality. During its press coverage, the case was also known by the humorous title applied to the judge's opinion of the case, The Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Bikini Top v The (More) Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Pastie (a reference to the song Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini).
==Background==
In 2012, the city of San Antonio amended its city ordinances dealing with "sexually oriented businesses", or SOBs. Among other changes, the amendment redefined "nudity" to include "a state of dress that fails to completely and opaquely cover...the entire female breast". Whereas female dancers had previously been able to avoid being classified as "nude" by wearing pasties over their nipples, the new law required that they wear at minimum a bra or bikini top. Any business not meeting that requirement had to seek a permit as a SOB.〔 The law also augmented fines associated with failure to comply with these regulations.〔
The amendments were proposed to address concerns from parents about the proximity of semi-nude dance clubs to schools.〔 Police Chief Bill McManus applauded the amendment because it simplified enforcement by eliminating legal "grey areas"; he also noted connections between the presence of such establishments and area crime rates. However, strip clubs objected on the grounds that no consultation or public hearings had taken place prior to the amendments being passed.〔 Richard Deegear, a lawyer representing several establishments, noted that "This entire process has been a disappointment because there hasn't been any process to speak of" and stated that he intended to bring the matter to court.〔 Previous attempts by the city in 2005 to regulate these business had also been challenged in court.
