Startrack, Inc. v. County of Los Angeles

In Startrack, Inc. v. County of Los Angeles (1976) 65 Cal.App.3d 451, the issue was whether an establishment could validly be prosecuted under a county ordinance which required that it obtain a county license as a "theater," even though it fell, factually, within the exception contained in the state statutes. The holding, which modified the injunction, went only to determine that the county could not lawfully require the county license so long as the establishment fell within the statutory exception. Insofar as is here involved, the case is authority for the use of injunctive relief against enforcement of a local ordinance against establishments which are, in fact, "theaters or a similar establishment."
