Trial date set for strip club case

A federal judge has set a January trial date for businessman Jon Ferraro’s claim that the city of Milwaukee illegally barred him from opening a strip club.
Ferraro, who owns strip clubs throughout Wisconsin, sued the city in October 2010 after it denied his application to open a downtown Milwaukee strip club. Ferraro then applied for a tavern amusement license under an ordinance the city repealed before acting on his application. That action prompted Ferraro to amend his lawsuit to claim the ordinance had been unconstitutional.
U.S. Circuit Judge Lynn Adelman ruled that the ordinance was not unconstitutional but determined the city is liable to Ferraro for its failure to act on his application.
A trial has been set for Jan. 12 to determine the extent of those damages. Follow @bkevit
