Filing asks court to bar enforcement of Englewood's residency restriction
Attorney Alison Ruttenberg filed a motion Aug. 21 in on behalf of four Englewood residents in U.S. District Court, seeking a preliminary injunction and temporary restraining order to stop Englewood's enforcement of its sex offender residency restrictions. Ruttenberg's move is an attempt to prevent the four plaintiffs from being forced to move out of the city.
The motion follows the Aug. 18 filing seeking a permanent injunction prohibiting enforcement of the residency restrictions ordinance, as Ruttenberg argues that the ordinance violates the plaintiffs' constitutional rights.
Ruttenberg's motion will be heard at 2 p.m. Aug. 30 in the courtroom of Judge John Moore at the Alfred A. Arraj Federal Courthouse at 901 19th St. in Denver.
The four plaintiffs, Brian Brockhausen, Allen Toner, Larry Cook and a client identified as S.B. are all Englewood residents who are required to register as sex offenders. The court filing states the four plaintiffs have been told by police that they will shortly be receiving letters that allow them 30 days to move out of the city or face arrest.
The filing further states all the plaintiffs are on probation or parole and are currently undergoing supervision. By law, all four are required to register with the Englewood Police Department, but the department is not letting any sex offender register in the city regardless of whether the residency restriction ordinance applies, the lawsuit claims. ..Source.. by Tom Munds
