Facts

Plaintiffs were individuals required to register as sex offenders under California law. They challenged Title 9, Section 9.66, of the City of Long Beach Municipal Code as unconstitutional. The ordinance prohibited sex offenders "from becoming a permanent or temporary resident in any residential exclusion zone."

PLAINTIFFS' CONTENTIONS:
Plaintiffs contended that the ordinance, on its face and as applied, violated the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution; the Ex Post Facto Clause of the United States Constitution; Article 1, Section 7 of the California constitution; Article XI, Section 7 of the California constitution; and was unconstitutionally vague and overbroad.

DEFENDANT'S CONTENTIONS:
The City of Long Beach denied plaintiffs' material allegations and asserted various affirmative defenses.

Result

The court dismissed the action with prejudice after the parties failed to file a Joint Rule 26(f) Report.
