CASE NO. 04CVH06-6341

JUDGE FRYE



FINAL JUDGMENT

For the reasons set forth in the Decision filed May 27, 2005, Final Judgment is hereby rendered in favor of Defendants and against the Plaintiff.

Pursuant to Civ. R. 57, the Court finds and declares that the "Customer Code of Conduct Policy" adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Defendant Columbus Metropolitan Library on August 26, 2004, effective September 1, 2004, is statutorily authorized by R.C. § 3375.40, and that patrons desiring to use the Columbus Metropolitan Library must comply with the provision in that "Customer Code" prohibiting "Improper dress" which is defined to include bare feet. Further, that provision of the Customer Code has a rational basis in fact, and does not intrude upon any Constitutional rights of the Plaintiff.

This case is, therefore, dismissed at Plaintiff's costs. This is a final appealable order, and the Clerk shall serve all parties pursuant to Civ. R. 58(B).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
