Telecom Won’t Accept Residential Area Restrictions: Asks Supreme Court to Overrule Ninth Circuit

Glendale, California neighbors who petitioned their city council in January 2009 to stop installations of cell sites in residential neighborhoods cited a September 2008 Ninth Circuit Court ruling against Sprint PCS and for the County of San Diego.

The Ninth Circuit decision upheld San Diego County’s efforts to control cell site installations in residential neighborhoods. Unwilling to let local jurisdictions control or restrict its installations, Sprint has appealed the case (docket link here)to the United States Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court will announce its decision to hear the case, or to let the Ninth Circuit ruling stand, on March 20, 2009.
