Legal Matters: Direct Marketers Take Colorado to the Supreme Court

Following the 10th Circuit decision dismissing the case, the DMA proceeded to file a new lawsuit in state court on the same constitutional grounds as previously alleged in federal court. On Feb. 18, 2014, the Colorado State District Court for the City and County of Denver granted the DMA's motion for a preliminary injunction and barred enforcement of the Colorado notice and reporting law. Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to review the jurisdictional issue, the state court judge has stayed further proceedings, and the preliminary injunction will remain in place until the Supreme Court issues its ruling.
