Lovell v. City of Griffingreen
scotus · 1938 · cited in 2 New York opinions naming this issue, 2009–2023
2 sentences

2023The United States Supreme Court has consistently held that a defendant has standing to challenge the constitutionality of a licensing scheme that underlies their criminal prosecution, even if the defendant did not apply for the license (see Shuttlesworth v City of Birmingham, 394 US 147, 151 [1969] [the defendant, convicted under a statute that criminalized participating in public parades or demonstrations without a permit, had standing to challenge law even though he did not apply for permit]; Staub v City of Baxley, 355 US 313, 319 [1958], citing Smith v Cahoon, 283 US 553, 562 [1931]; Lovel

2009(See United States v Sued, 143 F Supp 2d 346 [SD NY 2001].) Nevertheless, “[i]n the area of freedom of expression it is well established that one has standing to challenge a statute on the ground that it delegates overly broad licensing discretion to an administrative office, whether or not his conduct could be proscribed by a properly drawn statute, and whether or not he applied for a license.” (Freedman v Maryland, 380 US 51, 56 [1965]; see also Lovell v City of Griffin, 303 US 444 [1938].) Accordingly, the defendant has standing to challenge the constitutionality of the Code on its face.
