Peace Mom Drops Lawsuit Over Camping Ban

War protester Cindy Sheehan has dropped her lawsuit challenging county
camping and parking bans near President Bush's Crawford ranch.

Fort Worth attorney David Broiles, who represents Sheehan's group, asked
to withdraw the lawsuit because two war protesters are appealing their recent
conviction in a related case.

"We will get a resolution faster" by addressing the county bans in that appeal,
he said Wednesday.

U.S. District Judge Walter S. Smith Jr. of Waco approved Sheehan's request to
drop the suit on Monday.

Last month a McLennan County jury convicted two protesters - one from Oklahoma,
the other from Austin - on misdemeanor charges for obstructing a road near the
president's ranch. They are appealing to Waco's 10th Court of Appeals.
