SUBJECT: NAC files as amicus in Ohio topfree appeal

TO : All Naturists and other interested individuals

Dear Naturist,

The Naturist Action Committee has filed a legal memorandum with the Ohio Supreme Court in an appeal by a woman who was arrested and convicted for being topfree in a city park. NAC is acting as an amicus curiae, or "friend of the court," and its document supports the Court's acceptance of jurisdiction.

The woman, Lorien D. Bourne, is represented in her appeal by the Ohio chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, which has filed a separate memorandum in support of jurisdiction. The Ohio Supreme Court is not obligated to accept the case, so the documents at this stage are intended to persuade the Court to recognize the importance of the case, and to take it under review.

WHAT IS NAC ASKING YOU TO DO?

This is a NAC Advisory. You are not being asked to take any action.

Please watch for further Advisories and Updates from NAC on this issue.
