The complaint alleges Linlor requested a personalized license plate of “GOPALIN†in 2009 and 2010, but the DMV denied his applications, stating the request was "vulgar or obscene or expressing superiority of political affiliation."Linlor says he tried again in June 2010 — this time requesting “PALIN,†“PALIN12†or “PALIN16.†The DMV’s Special Plates Committee, which reviews applications, again denied his requests, deeming them inappropriate because they were “political,†according to the complaint.According to the Nevada Administrative Code, the DMV rejects personalized license plates with any combination of letters, numbers or spaces that “express contempt, ridicule or superiority of ... political affiliation.†It can also deny plates it deems “inappropriate.â€After a hearing before an administrative law judge, the lawsuit claims the judge reversed the DMV’s denial of Linlor’s requests for plates with “PALIN,†“PALIN12†and “PALIN16.†The judge determined the DMV wasn't authorized to deny requests simply because they were “political,†according to the complaint.Despite the judge’s decision, the complaint alleges the DMV again denied Linlor’s request for a “GOPALIN†plate. Meanwhile, Linlor discovered the DMV had issued other politics-related license plates, including “GOGREEN,†“DMOCRAT,†“AL GORE,†“KERRY,†“EDWARDS,†“DEAN,†“HILLARY†and “RONPAUL,†while rejecting requests for “REPBLCN†and “BUSH,†the complaint alleges.When Linlor applied for a “GO OBAMA†plate, the DMV approved it, he alleges.
