The U.S. Supreme Court distributed the Pasadena, Texas, Dec. 26 cert petition for the justices’ Feb. 16 conference, said a text-only docket notice Wednesday (docket 23-698). Pasadena seeks the reversal of the 5th U.S. Circuit Appeals Court affirmation of the district court’s judgment in Crown Castle’s favor that Section 253 of the Telecommunications Act preempts the spacing and undergrounding requirements in the city’s design manual for the installation of small cells and support poles in its public rights of way (see 2312300001).
