-Caveat Lector- Dear List, Below please find a recent court decision Sincerely, Neil Brick "Court of Appeals Division I - State of Washington - Opinion Information Sheet - Docket Number: 41241-8-I - Title of Case: David L. Calof, Respondent v. Charles "chuck" Noah, Et. al., Appellants ... 09/11/2000, SOURCE OF APPEAL, Superior Court of King County, Docket No: 95-2-15224-4, Noah and Casebeer were involved in activities protesting Calof's work in repressed memory recovery. Calof secured an antiharassment order against Noah. Noah was found in contempt for violating the antiharassment order. Noah challenges the antiharassment order and his conviction for contempt on the grounds it violated First Amendment rights including free speech, the right to picket, and the right to photograph Calof in public. We hold an antiharassment order may place enforceable limits of First Amendment rights as needed to enforce the no contact provisions of the order. We affirm the antiharassment order and his conviction for contempt. Calof sued Casebeer and others for defamation and other injuries. Casebeer and others entered voluntarily and knowingly into a mediated settlement agreement. Casebeer repudiated the agreement on the grounds that she could not lawfully contract away First Amendment rights, such as speech and picketing. The trial court held that the agreement was enforceable. We hold that mere enforcement of the agreement does not constitute state action for purposes of constitutional analysis. The agreement is enforceable. We affirm." quote from http://www.courts.wa.gov/opinions/opindisp.cfm?docid=412418MAJ <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
