Ross C. Anderson (#0109) Marshall M.

Plaintiff, ve SALVADOR D. PETILOS, Director; NINA MCDERMOTT, Director of Compliance, Licensing Enforcement, Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, in their official capacities; JOHN T. NIELSEN, Chairman; JEFFREY WRIGHT; KATHLEEN MCCONKIE COLLINWOOD; OLIVIA VELA AGRAZ; STEVEN B. BATEMAN; S. NEAL BERUBE; AMANDA SMITH, Members, Utah Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission, in their official capacities Defendants. ‘Case No.: Judge: VERIFIED COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF Plaintiff Cinema Pub, L.L.C., d/b/a Brewvies (“Brewvies”) hereby complains against Defendants and alleges as follows:INTRODUCTION 1. This is an action for declaratory and injunctive relief arising from the State of Utah's and the Defendants’ unconstitutional censorship and chilling of the freedom of speech of Brewvies and its customers by punishing, and threatening to punish, Brewvies with fines and the threat of suspension or revocation of its liquor license for showing the worldwide highest grossing R-rated film, Deadpool, and other non-obscene films. PARTIES 2. Brewvies is a Utah limited liability company that owns and operates the Brewvies Cinema Pub, which is licensed to serve alcoholic beverages and is located at 677 South 200 West, Salt Lake City, Utah, The Brewvies Cinema Pub is a unique business, offering food, alcoholic beverages, and non-obscene films to be enjoyed together by its customers. The combination of offering food, alcoholic beverages, and films, in a business limited to customers 21 years of age and older, is central to the success of Brewvies. 3. Salvador D. Petilos (“Petilos”) and Nina McDermott (“McDermott”) are employees of the State of Utah and, respectively, the Director and the Director of Compliance, Licensing Enforcement of the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (“DABC”). The claims against each are for declaratory and injunctive relief only. They have participated, and continue to participate, in enforcing the unconstitutional statute challenged herein and interfering with, and chilling, the exercise by Brewvies of its freedom of speech and expression. 4. John T. Nielsen (“Nielsen”), Chairman, and Jeffrey Wright (“Wright”); Kathleen McConkie Collinwood (“Collinwood”); Olivia Vela Agraz (“Agraz”); Steven B. Bateman (“Bateman”); S. Neal Berube (“Berube”); Amanda Smith (“Smith”), Members, are each agentsand officers of the State of Utah serving as commissioners of the Utah Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission (the “Commission”). The claims against each of them are for equitable relief only. Collectively they are the policy-makers and ultimately decision-makers for that Commission and the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control with regard to the policies and practices challenged in this action, including decisions regarding whether to proceed with disciplinary actions, whether to enforce constitutionally invalid statutes, and whether to impose fines or suspend or terminate liquor licenses. They have collectively adopted and promulgated on behalf of the State of Utah policies and practices challenged herein, including the enforcement of the ‘unconstitutional statute challenged herein, They ultimately supervise Defendants Petilos and ‘MeDermott and have required that Petilos, McDermott, and other agents and employees of the DABC comply with the unconstitutional statute and practices challenged herein. JURISDICTION AND VENUE 5. This Court has federal jurisdiction over Plaintiff's claims, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331 and 42 U.S.C. § 1983, as Defendants have violated the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, as made applicable to the states by the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution, 6. Venue in this Court is proper under 28 U.S.C. § 1391, as the events complained of ‘occurred in this judicial district and the Defendants reside in Utah. 7. Defendants’ imposition of fines, and the threats of imposing additional fines against Brewvies, and their threats of suspension or revocation of Brewvies's liquor license as part of Defendants’ enforcement of Utah Code section 32B-1-504, based on Brewvies’s exercise of its constitutionally protected freedom to choose which non-obscene films it will show, has interfered with, and threatens to further interfere with, Brewvies's rights to show non-obscene films protectedby the First Amendment of the United States Constitution and Article 1, sections 1 and 15 of the Utah Constitution. 8. Defendants’ actions have interfered with Brewvies’s freedom of speech and expression and threaten to continue to cause serious, perhaps devastating, damage to Brewvies in the form of unconstitutional fines, the threat of, or aetual, suspension or revocation of Brewvies’s liquor license and the destruction of its business based on the non-obscene content of films Brewvies chooses to show, as well as the continuous interference with, and chilling of, Brewvies’s exercise of its freedom of speech and expression guaranteed by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and Article 1, sections | and 15 of the Utah Constitution. 9, The requested relief from this Court would redress Brewvies's injuries by removing the immediate threats to Brewvies of further fines and the possible suspension or revocation of Brewvies’s liquor license, as well as the continued interference with, and chilling of, Brewvies’s freedom of speech and expression. FACTUAL BACKGROUND 10. Deadpool, an R-rated film, was released in theaters in the United States on February 12, 2016. Within two months of release, Deadpoo! became the highest grossing R-rated film worldwide. 11. Brewvies showed Deadpoo! to its customers during the period from February 12, 2016, to March 24, 2016. 12. DABC, and Defendant McDermott particularly, signed and sent a Notice of Agency Action (the “Notice”) (a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit “A”), to Brewvies. That Notice was received by Brewvies on April 11, 2016.13. The Notice signed by Defendant McDermott alleged that, on or about February 23, 2016, Brewvies violated Utah Code section 32B-1-504(7)(a) and (d) by showing a depiction of (1) an act or simulated act of sodomy, bestiality, or oral copulation and (2) a scene wherein a person displayed his or her genitals. 14, Utah Code section 32B-1-504 provides, in relevant part: The following attire and conduct on premises or at an event regulated by the commission under this ttle are considered contrary to the public health, peace, safety, welfare, and morals, and are prohibited: .. (7) showing a film, still picture, electronic reproduction, or other visual reproduction depicting: (@) an act or simulated act of: sexual intercourse; Gii) masturbation; (ii) sodomy; (iv) bestiality; (v) oral copulation; (vi) flagellation; or (vii) a sexual act that is prohibited by Utah law; (b) a person being touched, caressed, or fondled on the breast, buttocks, anus, or genitals; (©)a scene wherein an artificial device or inanimate object is employed to depict, or a drawing is employed to portray, an act prohibited by this section; or (@) a scene wherein a person displays the genitals or anus. 15. In the Notice, Defendant McDermott indicated DABC is seeking an order of the Commission invoking the penalty against Brewvies of “a 10 day license suspension up to a revocation of its elub license and/or a $1,000 ‘TO $25,000 fine” plus administrative hearing costs. The Commission Defendants would make that determination, which, based on past unconstitutional treatment of Brewvies by the DABC Commission, would likely entail a significant penalty, as well as more than one hearing and substantial time and attomeys’ fees incurred by Brewvies. 16. Enclosed with the Notice from Defendant McDermott were two “Crime Reports” from Officers Bradly Bullock and Sean Cannon, both with the Utah State Bureau of Investigation,describing a covert investigation the night of February 26, 2016, in which Officers Bradly Bullock, Sean Cannon, and Jared Williams, three covert agents of the Utah State Bureau of Investigation, entered Brewvies, ordered a Bud Light and watched Deadpool! to verify the film’s sexual content and nudity. All three officers “had seen the movie beforehand of their own free will” in the previous two weeks since the film was released. Officer Sean Cannon, who had, on his own, seen the film two times before, verified the Brewvies showing of Deadpool! did not “remove or obscure” the sexual content or nudity from the film. (The other officers apparently each saw the film once before, on their own.) 17. DABC, through all or some of the Defendants, or through their predecessors, had previously taken unconstitutional action against Brewvies on two separate occasions: a. In 2011, DABC investigated Brewvies for showing The Hangover Part Il, which was not “obscene” within the meaning of state or federal constitutional law and was not claimed by DABC to be obscene. The DABC asserted Brewvies violated Utah Code section 32B- 1-504 (7)(a) and (dl) by “showing a film depicting an act or simulated act of sodomy, bestiality, or ‘ral copulation and a person displaying their genitals.” Brewvies was coerced and intimidated by legal counsel for the DABC and the DABC Commission into agreeing to pay a $1,500 fine plus the payment of costs, in the total amount of $1,627. b. In 2015, DABC, in a threatening email from Margaret K. Hardie, with DABC Licensing and Compliance, gave informal notice to Brewvies that at least two films “would not be allowed to be shown . . . due to nudity and sexual content.” At that time, the only films being shown at Brewvies were Magic Mike XXL and Ted 2, neither of which were “obscene” within the meaning of state or federal constitutional law and neither of which were claimed by DABC to be obscene. The email cited and reproduced Utah Code section 32B-1-504(7). The email stated,“Please make sure you preview all movies you will be showing. This ensures we can keep you from citations or law enforcement referring you for violations against your liquor license.” In other words, the DABC was warning Brewvies not to show films that were constitutionally protected, but which fell within the coverage of the unconstitutional Utah statute, Utah Code section 32B-1- 504(7). 18. Brewvies responded to Margaret K. Hardie’s informal notice in a letter dated June 23, 2015. That letter made clear that (1) Brewvies showed only movies that are rated PG, PG-13, and R, (2) the films Ted 2 and Magic Mike XXL were being distributed nationally to over 3200 theaters, (3) Brewvies admitted only patrons older than twenty-one years of age, and (4) Brewvies sought to reach an understanding with the DABC and the Commission such that Brewvies would be permitted to show PG-13 and R rated movies without fear of prosecution or penalties by the DABC or the Commission. 19, DABC responded in a letter from its legal counsel Sheila Page, dated July 23, 2015. ‘That letter made clear that (1) DABC, unequivocally, “will take ation” against Brewvies should DABC receive any law enforcement referral that Brewvies provided entertainment in violation of the Alcohol Beverage Control Act and (2) if Brewvies did not want to face penalties from the DABC then Brewvies’s recourse was (a) to screen films for possible violations of Utah Code section 32B-1-504, (b) exercise “the option of being a motion picture theater without alcohol service,” o (c) approach the Legislature about changing the statute.FIRST CLAIM FOR RELIEF VIOLATION OF FIRST AMENDMENT OF THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION AND ARTICLE 1, SECTIONS 1 AND 15 OF THE UTAH CONSTITUTION DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF 20. Brewvies re-alleges and incorporates by reference the factual allegations above as if set forth fully herein, 21. The film Deadpool is not obscene, and Defendants and the DABC have not claimed the film is obscene, under applicable constitutional standards. Taken as a whole, the film has serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value. 22. Brewvies’s showing of the film Deadpoo! is protected by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution and Article 1, seetions 1 and 15 of the Utah Constitution. 23. Brewvies intends to exercise its freedom of speech by again showing the film Deadpool and other non-obscene films that may contain depictions in violation of Utah Code section 32B-1-504, but which are constitutionally protected. 24, Defendants, acting under color of state law, and in the course and scope of their duties as employees or DABC commissioners, deprived and continue to deprive Brewvies of its constitutional rights to freedom of speech by (i) continuing to enforce the unconstitutional Utah statute, Utah Code section 32B-1-504(7), (li) failing to announce that it will not refrain from enforeing the unconstitutional statute, and (iii) by punishing and threatening to punish Brewvies with fines and/or the suspension or revocation of Brewvies's liquor license because Brewvies showed the film Deadpool ot if Brewvies again shows Deadpool! or other films containing depictions in violation of Utah Code section 32B-1-504, but which are not obscene within the meaning of well-established constitutional law.25. Brewvies is entitled to a declaration that the Defendants’ enforcement, both past and future, of Utah Code section 32B-1-504(7), based on the content of non-obscene films, violates the First Amendment of the United States Constitution and Article 1, sections 1 and 15 of the Utah Constitution. ENTITLEMENT TO TEMPORARY, PRELIMINARY, AND PERMANENT INJUNCTIVE RELIEF 26. Defendants’ unconstitutional actions have irreparably harmed Brewvies by (i) coercing it to choose which films to show based on the content of those films, without regard to obscenity, or face substantial fines and/or the possible suspension or revocation of its liquor license; (ii) imposing and threatening to impose punishments, including fines and/or the possible suspension or revocation of Brewvies’s liquor license, for having shown a non-obscene film, Deadpool; and (iii) continuously chilling the freedom of speech of Brewvies in its decisions about ‘what non-obscene films it can show for its customers without incurring the unconstitutional coercion and punishments, or threats of punishment, by the DABC and the Defendants. 27. — Defendants’ unconstitutional actions will continue to irreparably harm Brewvies by uunconstitutionally chilling Brewvies’s rights to freedom of speech and expression by coercing Brewvies to choose which films to show based on the content of those films, without regard to obscenity, or face substantial fines and/or the possible suspension or revocation of its liquor license 28. Brewvies’s remedies at law are not adequate to remedy its past and ongoing injuries. 29. — Injunctive relief will not cause hardship to anyone, but will protect Brewvies’s freedom of speech and expression against unconstitutional punishment and threats of punishmentby Defendants and against the infringements by Defendants on, and the chilling of, Brewvies’s freedom of speech and expression, 30. Vindication of constitutional freedoms and protection of First Amendment rights is in the public interest. 31. Brewvies is entitled to temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctive relief prohibiting Defendants from enforcing or threatening to enforce Utah Code section 32B-1-504(7) based on the content of non-obscene films. PRAYER FOR RELIEF WHEREFORE, pursuant to the claims for relief set forth hereinabove, Plaintiff is entitled (1) an order declaring that Defendants’ past and future enforcement, and threatened enforcement, of Utah Code section 32B-1-504(7) against Brewvies for showing non-obscene films, including the film Deadpool, violated and continues to violate the First Amendment of the United States Constitution and Article 1, sections 1 and 15 of the Utah Constitution; 2) orders granting temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctive relief prohibiting Defendants from enforcing, threatening to enforce, or otherwise taking action against Brewvies or its liquor license pursuant to Utah Code section 32B-1-504 for showing non-obscene films, including the film Deadpool; (3) an award against Defendants of all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by plaintiff in this matter, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1988 and any other applicable authority; and (4) all further relief as deemed just and equitable. 10DATED this 19th day of April, 2016. u LEWIS HANSEN {sl Ross C.
