CITY NEWS & NOVELTY, INC. v. WAUKESHA

Opinion of the Court

ability of a stay of adverse action during the pendency of judicial review, however long that review takes.

Unlike the petitioner in Freedman, who sought, through swift court review, an end to the status quo of silence, City News sought to maintain, pendente lite, the status quo of speech (or expressive conduct). Brief for Petitioner 43-44. We venture no view on the merits of an argument urging preservation of speech (or expressive conduct) as the status quo pending administrative and judicial review proceedings. It suffices to point out that the question is not the one on which the courts have divided or on which we granted certiorari.

For the reasons stated, the writ of certiorari is

Dismissed.
