Western Watersheds Project v. Michael, 869 F.3d 1189 (10th Cir. Sept. 7, 2017)

Sep 7, 2017

Plaintiffs asserted a First Amendment challenge to a Wyoming statute prohibiting trespass on private land while in the course of collecting resource data from public land.  As a matter of first impression, the Tenth Circuit held that the statute was subject to First Amendment protection because the statute regulated the creation of speech.
