This order denies the plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction on their facial constitutional challenges to Article 19 of the Revised Ordinances of Honolulu. The order finds that: (1) Article 19 is a reasonable time, place, and manner restriction that is content-neutral and narrowly tailored to serve the significant government interest of maintaining public areas; (2) Plaintiffs are not likely to succeed on their claim that Article 19 is overly broad in violation of the First Amendment; and (3) Plaintiffs have failed to establish all the required elements for a preliminary injunction, including likelihood of success on the merits of their claims. Therefore, the court denies the plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction based on their facial challenges to Article 19.
