Re: T,icense i�enial �f Anthony King—Notice of Appeal
Dear Mr. Seth:
I represent Anthony King whose Adult Entertainer Manager License was denied on April 20,
2016. A copy of the letter of denial is included herewith. On behalf of my client, I wish to
appeal the deuial to the Hearing Examiner. The Uasis of the appeal is that the ordinance section
, relied upon for the denial — npplicant currently serving a sentence of criminal activity undex• .
RMC 5-12-7(D) — applies only to the hoIder of Adult Entertainment Business license and daes
apply to the holder of an Adult Entertainment Manager License issued pursuant to RMC 5-12-
10. In addition, denial of the license based upon past criminal activity violates my client's right
to freedom of speech as guaranteed by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution
and Article 1, Section 5 of the Washington Canstitution. See, Seattle v. Bittner, 81 Wash. 2d
747, 505 P. 2d 126 {1973).
I understand that i�1y client l�as ah�eady paid the $250.00 filing fee. A copy of the i-eceipt for the
fee is also included herewith. If there is anything furfher that you require in order to perfect the
appeal, ptease do not hesitate to let me know.
Sincerely,
����
