DiEdoardo stopped representing the lawsuit's plaintiffs since there were disagreements between the plaintiffs. Gill Sperlein served as Taub's second lawyer for the suit. He was previously a member of Wiener's campaign committee. DiEdoardo claimed that the police were discriminating in regards to who could be nude in the city, noting that they went for people who had little political influence.

A discrimination claim by Taub was settled for $ 20,000 by the city in June 2015, and in September, she was granted a restraining order against the police department to prevent them denying her a permit for a nude parade at Jane Warner Plaza that was held that month.
