City of Sacramento, California v. Mann
Petition for certiorari denied on October 19, 2020
Issues: (1) Whether the First Amendment protects intimate
associations absent expressive activity; (2) whether, if so, that protection exceeds what the due
process clause provides; (3) whether sibling relationships can qualify as
intimate absent cohabitation; and (4) whether liability under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for
associational deprivation requires an intent to harm
the protected association, rather than also
encompassing incidental results.
