Moore v. Koenig
The trial court granted a permanent injunction prohibiting defendant Fritz Koenig from harassing plaintiff Clairdean V. Moore. Koenig appeals, arguing:
1. The trial court violated due process by terminating the hearing before Koenig could present all of his evidence.
2. The harassment injunction procedure was improperly used to resolve a complex real property dispute.
3. To the extent that Koenig's allegedly harassing conduct consisted of taking photographs, it was constitutionally protected under the First Amendment.
We agree that the trial court erred by letting Moore present all of his evidence, while barring Koenig from presenting all of his. This error is reversible per se. Court need not address Koenig's other contentions; he remains free to raise them in the trial court on remand.
