Judge: CRAWFORD
First Paragraph:
At issue in this appeal is the legislature's authority, under the
Tennessee Constitution, to impose mandatory closing times on
adult-oriented businesses in order to combat the secondary effects
associated with those establishments. Appellants, Clinton Books, Inc.
("Clinton Books") and Fantasy Warehouse, Inc. ("Fantasy Warehouse"),
challenge the constitutionality of T.C.A. _ 7-51- 1402 through
7-51-1406 ("the Act"), arguing that the Act violates several rights
guaranteed by the Tennessee Constitution, among them the rights of
religious and expressive freedom, due process, and equal protection of
the law. Appellants further contend that the trial court erred in
ruling on the merits of their claims during the hearing on a motion
for temporary injunction. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and
remand for further proceedings.

Court:TCA
Attorneys:
Jason W. Pearcy, Camden, For Appellant, Karen Carey
Paul G. Summers, Attorney General and Reporter; Julie Randall Pablo,
Assistant Attorney General, For Appellee, Tennessee Department of
Children's Services
Judge: CRAWFORD
First Paragraph:
This is a termination of parental rights case. Mother appeals from
the order of the Juvenile Court of Benton County, terminating her
parental rights on the grounds of persistence of conditions.
Specifically, Mother asserts that the trial court erred in admitting
evidence of an event that occurred after the Petition to Terminate had
been filed, that the termination of her parental rights is not
supported by clear and convincing evidence in the record, and that
termination is not in the best interest of the children. We reverse
and remand.
