RESPONDENT'S SECOND MOTION TO DISMISS FOR VIOLATION OF RESPONDENTS 

RJGHTS UNDER THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION 

(ERRATTA- WITH EXHIBITS) 

Respondent files this second motion to dismiss for violation of his rights under the First 

Amendment to the U~uted States Constin1tion based on the FAA's construction and application of 

CPR §91.11 to the facts of the instant case. This motion is made and based on all of the pleadings 

and papers on file herein, the United States Constitution and the argtUllent of Cotmsel. Respondent 

further renews, realleges and incorporates herein by reference Respondents previous motion to 

dismiss. 

Summary of Argument 

The Noen-Pennington doctrine prohibits the use of the CFR §91.11 in the instant case as 

consuued and applied, because it denies the Respondent his First Amendment rights of freedom 

of speech to protest, and the right to seek a redress of grievances.

Factual Background 

The complainant summarily alleges that on September 29, 2012 that Respondent interfered 

with a flight crew by parking his vehicle on a taxiway at the North Las Vegas, Nevada Airport. It 

ignores the rest of the story. 

Prior to charging the Respondent, the Complainant investigated and caused others to 

investigate the allegations. (Exhibit 1) The FAA and its inexperienced inspector knew the full 

background and mture of the alleged incident. Specifically, they were aware that the actions of 

the Respondent were a protest against the excessive noise of the Vision Air Dornier DO 228 

aircraft near his hangar and that he had previously sought a redress of that grievance from the 

manager of the North Las Vegas Air]Jort on several occasions, to no avail. The interviews and 

investigation by the FAA and others before charging clearly show that the inspector and charging 

official were awm:e of these facts. (Exhibit 1, Discovery provided by FAA as highlighted) 

Argtunent 

The Noerr-Pennington Doctrine Provides lnununitv to Respondent by Prohibiting the Federal 

Aviation Administration From Using CFR §91.11 to Restrict Respondents First Amendment Right 

to Protest and Right to Seek a Redress of Grievances. 

The Noerr-Pennington doctrine originated in the context of anti-trust litigation. "Concerted 

efforts to influence public officials do not violate the antitrust laws even though intended to 

eliminate competition." United Mine Workers of America v. Pennington, 381 U.S. 657, 658 (1965) 

(citing Eastern R. Conf v. Noerr Motors, 365 U.S. 127, 669-672 (1961)). "Whi.le any carrier has 

the right of access to administrative agencies and courts to defeat appijcations of competitors for 

certificates as highway carriers, and its purpose to eliminate an applicant as a competitor may be 

implicit in such opposition, its First Amendment rights are not immunized from regulation when 

they are used as an integral part of conduct violative of the antitrust laws." California Motor 

2 
01/07/2015 09:14AM 7024105395 MARIDDN PAGE 03/24 

Transport Co. v. Trucking Unlimited, 404 U.S. 508, 509-515 (1972). "If the allegations that 

petitioners combined to harass and deter respondents from having "free and unlimited access" to 

agencies and cotuts, and to defeat that right by massive, concerted, and purposenu group activities 

are established as facts, a violations of the antitrust laws will have been demonstrated, and it is 

immaterial that the nteans used in violation may be lawful." Jd. 

The Noerr-Perrni!Jgton doctrine has <:JXpanded to virtually all areas of First aAmendment 

speech. "It is important to emphasize that a person's speech or petitioning activity is not removed 

from the ambit of First Amendment protection simply because it advocates an unlawful act. The 

First Amendment do<:lS not permit government 'to forbid or proscribe advocacy ofthe use of force 

or of law violation except where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent 

lawless action and is likely to incite or prodtlce such action." White v. Lee, 227, F.3d 1214, (9th 

Ci.J:. 2000) (citing Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U.S. 44, 447 (1969)). 

"The Supreme Court has de~cribed the right to petition as "among the most precious of the 

liberties safeguarded by the 'Bill of Rights' and 'intimately connected, both in origin and in 

purpose, with other Fi.J:st Amendment rights of free speech and free press." Jd. at 1231 (citing 

United Mine Workers, Dist. 12 v. fllinots State Bar Ass 'n, 389 U.S. 217, 222 (1967)). "While the 

Noerr-Pennington doctrine originally arose in the antitrust context, it is based on and implements 

the First Amendment right to petition and therefore, with one exception ... , applies equally in all 

contexts." Id. ('The immunity is no longer lim.ited to the antitrust context. ... ") (citing Boulware v. 

Nevada Dep 't of Human Resources, 950 F.2d 793, 800 (9th Cir. 1992). 

"The Noen·-Pennington doctrine ensures that those who petition the government for redress 

of grievances remain in1ntune fi·omliability for statutory violations, notwithstanding the fact that 

their activity might otherwise be proscribed by the statute involved." Jd.; See Professional Real

Estate Investors, Inc v. Columbi{l Pictures Indus., Inc., 508 U.S. 49, 56 (1993). "Noerr~Pennington 

is a label for a form of First Aolendment protection; to say that one does not have NoerrPennington protection is to con.clude that one's petitioning activity is unprotected by the First 

Amendment.'' Id. "The Supreme Court has held that a lawsuit is 1.mprotected only if it is a "sham" 

-i.e., "objectively baseless in the sense that no reasonable litigant could realistically expect success 

on the merits." !d.; See Professional Real Estate Investors, Inc v. Columbia Pictures Indus., Inc., 

508 u.s. 49, 56 (1993). 

White v. Lee, 227 FJd 1214, (9th Cix. 2000), clearly makes the Noerr-Penningtohn doctrine 

applicable to the actions of Federal Age11cies 

''a housing rights advocacy group filed an adtnillistrative complaint with an office of 

the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (I-IUD) in San Francisco. 

The complaint alleged that three neighbors in Berkeley opposed the conversion of a 

motel into a multi-family housing unit because they believed that the project would 

bring people into the neighborhood who were mentally disabled or disabled through 

substance abuse. Upou receiving the complaint, the San Francisco HUD office 

initiated an eight-month investigation into the neighbors' activities and beliefs. During 

the course of its investigation, HUD officials questioned the neighbors under threat of 

subpoena about their views and public statements regarding the challenged project; 

directed them to produce an array of documents and infonnation, including all 

involved parties' names, addresses, and telephone numbers and all correspondence or 

other documents relating to their efforts in opposition to the project; informed them 

and a major metropolitan newspaper that they had violated the Fair Housing Act; and 

advised them to accept a "conciliation proposal" that required them to cease all 

litigation and the distribution of "discriminatory'' newsletters and flyers. The HUD 

officials in San Francisco recommended finding that the neighbors had violated the 

Fair Housing Act, but officials in Washington ultimately concluded that no violation 

had occmJ:ed and that the neighbors had engaged solely in activity protected by the 

First Amendment." 

227 F.3d 1214, 1220 (9th Cir. 2000). 

The present case has very similar facts to White v. Lee. Respondent had originally sought 

a redress of that grievance from the manager of the North Las Vegas Airport on several occasions 

for the excessive noise, to no avail, thereafter he protested by lawfully, peacefully, and 

4 
01/07/2015 09:14AM 7024105395 PAGE 05/24 

temporarily stopping his vehicle in the taxiway, intending to convey the message that he was 

opposed the excessive noise and lack of action by the North Las Vegas Airport. When asked why 

he did so he stated that it was in protest. The protest was peacefuL See, NAACP v. Claiborne 

Hardware Co., 458 U.S. 886, 916, 102 S.Ct. 3409, 3427, 73 L.Ed.2d 1215 (1982) ("The First 

Amendment does not protect violence."); The interviews and investigation by the FAA and others 

before charging clearly show that the inspector aJJd charging official were aware of these facts. 

When he received no redress of grievance, in protest, Respondent temporarily parked his vehicle 

on a taxiway at the North Las Vegas, Nevada Airport as a symbolic fonn of free speech. The action 

was not lawless, because the North Las Vegas Airport regulations do not give aircraft on the 

ground the right of way over automobiles in areas not controlled by the Tower. This was clearly 

a peaceful protest becm1se although the vehicle stopped in broad daylight with lights flashing, 

Respondent removed the vehicle from the taxiway upon being requested to do so by airport 

personnel and stated that it was a protest. Respondent was a hangar owner and in a place where 

he had a right to be. (It should be noted that while Vision Air had a right to taxi their airplane on 

the North Las Vegas Airport, Respondent had a countervailing right under the First Amendment 

to protest the taxiing by his hm1gar. See, Shell Ojfthore, Inc. v. Greenpeace, Inc., 709 F.3d 1281 

(9th Cir. 2013)) 

It is critical to both cases that Federal Agencies hindered a private party's freedom to 

protest and seek redress of grievances. Both cases have different, but protected forms of protest 

under the First Amendment. As with the discriminatory newsletters and flyers sent out in the 

White v. Lee case, the Respondent in the present case was exercising his First Amendment 1ight to 

protest even after seeking a peaceful redress of grievance. Respondent violated no airport mles 

and engaged in peaceful protest therefore, under the Noerr-Pennington Doctrine he is immune 

s 
01/07/2015 09:14AM 7024105395 MARIDON PAGE 05/24 

from liability from statLltory violations. The similarity does not end there however, in both White 

and the instant case, the Federal Agencies acted as "stalking horses" for the local entities. ln this 

case, it is clear from the discovery provided, that the FAA is acting as a stalking horse for both 

Vision Air and the N01ih Las Vegas Airport in charging a violation ofCFR §91.11, knowing that 

there were two violations of Respondent's First Amendment rights. The FAA's enforcement 

actions thus have a "chilling effect" on the exercise of First Amendl:nent rights. The FAA's 

decision to seek a civil penalty under these circumstances is retaliatory. TI1e FAA's reaction to 

Respondent's protest is clearly excessive since another Federal Agency, Homeland Security, 

wisely declined to take any action against either the Respondent or Vision Air. (Exhibit l, 

Discovery provided by FAA as highlighted). Therefore, the present case against the Respondent 

should be dismissed with prejudice. 

Conclusion 

1. Respondent's Motion to Dismiss should be granted 

2. Attorney fees should be assessed against the FAA
