U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit

Summit Locations, LLC v. Bd. of Trs., Bath Twp., Ohio

September 4, 2026

Summary

The Sixth Circuit affirmed the district court’s dismissal of Summit Locations’ suit because Summit lacked Article III standing to challenge the township’s off‑premises sign ban. The court held that even if that ban were invalidated, other zoning provisions would still prohibit the billboard, so no redressable injury existed. The court declined to address mootness or the merits of the First Amendment and severability claims.
