United States Supreme Court Docket No. 98-1161 Dear All: Please accept this letter as written confirmation that on June 2, 1999 CALNO formally retained the above attorneys to represent their interests before the United States Supreme Court in its review of City of Erie v. Pap's A.M. As you are well aware, Seminole County recently adopted, by overwhelming majority referendum vote, a public nudity ordinance. It is likely the City of Erie case will have a substantial impact on the regulation of nudity and adult entertainment in Seminole County and its seven cities. Therefore, CALNO (the Council of Local Governments within Seminole County) unanimously voted to seek amicus curie status before the U.S. Supreme Court to support the constitutionality of the City of Erie's public nudity ordinance. We appreciate all of your efforts in this matter. Sincerely, ~~. ~~/udL Cindy G~ell, Chairman CALNO COUNCIL MEMBERS Cindy Gennell, Chairperson Gary Brender Paul Lovestrand Daryl Mclain Diane Bauer Eddie Rose Linda C. Hart Tom Hagood, Jr. A.A.
