Mahaney owns Headed West, a shop selling smoking accessories. He hired artists to paint murals on the building’s exterior. The murals showed musicians such as Jimi Hendrix, Jerry Garcia, and others.

The city of Englewood cited Mahaney for three sign code violations: (1) failing to obtain a permit;

(2) failing to obtain city manager approval before the murals were painted; and (3) exceeding the maximum sign area allowed. Mahaney alleged the city ordinances violate the First Amendment. Do you think he has a case? Why? [Mahaney v. City of Englewood, 226 P.3d 1214, Ct. App., Colo. (2009)]
