J. Joseph recommends a finding in favor of the municipalities, municipal officials and others in a lawsuit from property owners alleging in part that officials conspired to discriminate against them, falsely issued them tickets for having “animals at large” and failed to address needed repairs at their property. The magistrate says the property owners’ complaint should be dismissed, as their claims under the U.S. Constitution and state and federal law either fail to allege valid claims for relief or do not establish jurisdiction. Because the property owners have already amended their complaint once, leave to amend it again is denied as unwarranted.

J. Markle finds that the trial court improperly denied the county's and board of commissioners' motion for summary judgment in an action brought by the property owner alleging a violation of equal protection rights based on racial discrimination. The action arose after the board denied a prospective buyer's application for a conditional use permit to build poultry houses on the land. The owner lacked standing to bring the third-party racial discrimination claim on behalf of the buyer, who is of Vietnamese descent, because she failed to show that her relationship to the buyer was close enough that she could represent his interests. Reversed.
