Grounds emerge for rehearing in FAA case
The SLRC will file a motion for an en banc
rehearing in Florida FAA case, Chief Trial Counsel
Kirk D. Lyons announced this week.
The SLRC’s decision to take the case further was
based on the Court’s belief, as stated in its
opinion, that SLRC client Neal Parden, a
co-plaintiff, was not treated unfairly in having his
truck with its Confederate flag window decal banned
from the FAA company parking lot. Further evidence
discloses that the rural location of the FAA
facility actually deprived Parden of a place to park
his vehicle, which the SLRC contends amounts to more
than “a trivial inconvenience” as set forth by the
Court.
The SLRC also intends to use the rehearing to urge
the First Amendment aspects of the case, maintaining
as it always has that the plaintiffs’ display of
Confederate symbols caused no disruption in the
workplace.
