{¶1} For purposes of this opinion, the appeals of both appellants Erin
McCardle and Leatrice Tolls have been consolidated.1
{¶2} Appellants Erin McCardle and Leatrice Tolls appeal their
convictions for violating Cleveland Codified Ordinances 559.541 (CCO
559.541), which prohibits remaining, without a permit, between the hours of
10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m., on an area of downtown Cleveland, Ohio known as
Public Square, specifically, the Tom L. Johnson quadrant.2 They assign the
following error for our review:
I. Cleveland Cod. Ord. 559.541 is unconstitutional under
the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United
States Constitution.
{¶3} Having reviewed the record and pertinent law, we reverse and
remand the trial courts decision. The apposite facts follow.

consistent with this opinion.
It is, therefore, considered that said appellants recover of said appellee
their costs herein taxed.
It is ordered that a special mandate be sent to said court to carry this
judgment into execution.
