Yesterday

The lower court rejected the case contrary to existing precedent under Heck v. Humphrey.

The Supreme Court, unanimously, said, "Nuh-uh. Olivier’s suit seeking purely prospective relief—an injunction stopping officials from enforcing an ordinance in the future—can proceed, notwithstanding Olivier’s prior conviction for violating that ordinance; Heck does not hold otherwise."
