9th Circuit Seeks More Briefs in CTIA v. Berkeley

The 9th U.S. Court of Appeals sought supplemental briefs from CTIA and Berkeley, California, on the impact of the recent Supreme Court opinion in National Institute of Family and Life Advocates v. Becerra on CTIA’s challenge of Berkeley’s RF disclosure ordinance. CTIA should file by July 18 and Berkeley 21 days later, no later than Aug. 8, the appeals court said in a Thursday order (in Pacer). Last month, the Supreme Court sent CTIA v. Berkeley back to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to reflect on the high court's 2018 ruling that 2015 California state law requiring crisis pregnancy centers to disclose all available medical options to pregnant women violated free speech claims (see 1806280064). CTIA praised remand to the 9th Circuit, but Berkeley said the NIFLA ruling has no effect on the wireless case (see 1806290035).
