U.S. District Judge Audrey B. Collins ordered the city to rescind its citations against World Wide Rush LLC for its massive signs draped across two buildings within 10 days and to pay the company's legal fees, which are expected to be around $100,000.

Collins noted that World Wide Rush was cited for hanging signs without permits, although the city had refused to issue permits, citing a ban on so-called supergraphics.
