Fancy's Entertainment, L.L.C. v. The City of Enid,
No. 103,588 (Okl.Civ.App., Div. II, October 23, 2007) (Released for Publication): City Ordinances: Although not a criminal case per se, this opinion deal with an ordinance enacted by the City of Enid that prevented persons aged 18-21 from entering the premises of "any establishment licensed to sell low-point beer in which nearly nude dancing is permitted." As you can imagine, this caused some problems for strip-club owners in the area because dancers and employees under 21 could no longer enter the building. One such owner sued, arguing that the city ordinance was contrary to state law and unconstitutional as well. In this opinion, the Court of Appeals agreed! Although the Court did not go so far as to address the constitutional claims, it did hold that the ordinance was contrary to state law on the subject and is therefore invalid.
