Cert. Denied In Appeal of Injunction Against Disrupting Church Services

By Howard Friedman

Yesterday the U.S. Supreme Court denied certiorari in Lady Cage-Barile v. Church of Christ in Hollywood, (Docket No. 07-8742) (Order List). In the case below, found at 2007 Cal. App. Unpub. LEXIS 6164 (CA Ct. App., 2007), the California Court of Appeals refused to dissolve an injunction that had been previously issued to prevent Lady Cage-Barile from entering the property of the Church of Christ in Hollywood, tearing down Church literature or disrupting services by profane language or unnecessary noise.

The Church's expulsion of her from membership failed to stop her from disrupting worship services.
