Wayans' lawyers argue that the continued pursuit of charges against him perpetuates discrimination and denies his right to equal protection under the law. The City of Denver and United Airlines have not yet responded to the allegations.

Actor and comedian Marlon Wayans was cited for disturbing the peace after a dispute with a United Airlines employee over carry-on luggage at Denver airport. Wayans said he was told he had too many bags and despite consolidating his luggage, he was told he would have to gate check his bag rather than carry it on. Wayans took his ticket and began walking onto the plane, but United issued a statement saying the customer did not fly on United to his destination. Wayans booked a flight instead on American Airlines to Kansas City and apologized to his fans for missing a performance.
