The lawyer representing scores of brick-and-mortar adult entertainment businesses facing an uncertain future in New York City plans to appeal to the nation’s highest court by the end of the year.

“We will be filing a petition for a writ of certiorari in the U.S. Supreme Court to challenge the New York Court of Appeals’ unconstitutional decision, which imposes severe burdens on bookstores and video stores in New York City that offer some adult material,” attorney Erica Dubno told XBIZ.

Dubno said that approximately 25 to 30 “60/40” bookstores and video stores are affected by the piece of legislation, which was given the green light in 2001.
