PLAINTIFF THREE EXPO EVENTS,

L.L.C.S RENEWED MOTION FOR A
PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION WITH
M E M O R A N D U M
A N D
SUPPLEMENTAL APPENDIX IN
SUPPORT
(ORAL ARGUMENT REQUESTED)

Plaintiff Three Expo Events, L.L.C., moved pursuant to FED. R. CIV. P. 65, for a preliminary
injunction, seeking relief for Defendants adoption of a resolution, barring Plaintiffs use of
Defendants Convention Center for an adult-themed expo. Plaintiffs Motion for a Preliminary
Injunction (Doc. 6). This Court denied that motion. Memorandum Opinion and Order (Doc. 43). It
found that Plaintiff had failed to adduce sufficient evidence to support a finding that the Dallas
Convention Center is a designated public forum, which the Court considered critical to Plaintiffs
success on its claims. Id. at 21, Page ID 1896. The Court expressly noted, however, that its decision
did not preclude Plaintiff from offering evidence on that issue at a later procedural stage of the case.
Id. at 21 n.15, Page ID 1896.
Plaintiff now renews its Motion for a Preliminary Injunction, based on its memorandum in
support of its original motion and reply to Defendants response and the appendix filed in connection
with those pleadings, and on the attached memorandum in support of this renewed motion and

appendix, as supplemented. (APP. 1-APP. 640). It also requests oral argument on its renewed
motion.
Plaintiff requests that this Court preliminarily enjoin enforcement of Resolution No. 160308
and order Defendant to permit Plaintiff to use the Convention Center in 2017, subject to normal
scheduling protocols, as would have happened, but for the adoption of Resolution No. 160308.
A memorandum and supplemental appendix in support accompanies this Motion.

DISTRICT OF TEXAS)

On November 23, 2016, Plaintiffs counsel emailed counsel for the City of Dallas and
advised them Plaintiff would be filing a renewed Motion for a Preliminary Injunction and inquired
whether they opposed the motion. Plaintiffs counsel received no response to his inquiry.
