J. Jackson grants the landlord defendants' motion for partial summary judgment and dismisses the tenants' claims for failure to accommodate under the Fair Housing Act and the Oklahoma Fair Housing Law. The court concludes that the "requested accommodation was neither necessary nor reasonable." The tenants were allegedly denied a one-year lease renewal, but the standard lease was only for six months. Also, the evidence shows that they moved out of the apartment 32 days "before their required move-out date."

J. Deahl upholds the lower court's dismissal of a the district's rental-related discrimination action against a landlord after the district voluntarily moved to dismiss when it discovered the landlord's posting of "no vouchers" within his listing was not discriminatory, as the rental was not voucher-eligible. The landlord fails to show the district acted in bad faith when it sued him. Affirmed.

[Consolidated.] J. Epps denies the tenant's request to proceed in forma pauperis in a civil rights action against officials and the property owner arising from a wrongful eviction.

J. Ryu dismisses all civil rights claims against Alameda from the owner of a private marina that says the city passed a series of unlawful ordinances related to its business, namely in the form of rent and eviction limitations on houseboats due to Covid-19. The city's move to put limitations on evictions stemming from the pandemic was, as several other courts have found for different cities and states, based on the needs of the community and not an infringement on the marina owner's landlord rights. The owner's claim that the ordinances "economically hobbled" it is unsupported and unconvincing.

J. Stadtmueller gives the citizen a second chance to file an amended complaint in his lawsuit bringing claims related to a dispute over his lease and eventual eviction by his landlord, as his first amended complaint still fails to show there is federal jurisdiction over his claims. The citizen is given until November 30, 2023, to file a second amended complaint, and the lawsuit may be dismissed with prejudice if he does not.

J. Whitney grants a county sheriff’s office its motion to dismiss an amended complaint brought by a business owner after his store manager embezzled money and the owner couldn’t pay rent, prompting the landlord to evict the business. During proceedings after the business owner contested the eviction, he claims that a law judge allowed someone in the court to laugh and make fun of him because his son needed to translate for him. He also claims the judge threatened the him, saying that he would not allow any court to vacate his judicial orders. However, in this case, the owner sued this judge, and a few others, in their official capacities only, not in their individual capacities, so the judges maintain sovereign immunity.

J. Stadtmueller overrules the magistrate judge's report recommending the dismissal of the tenants' lawsuit against their landlord, the county and police officers over the landlord's refusal to maintain their property and the officers issuing them false tickets for loose animals and failing to adequately address their complaints about their neighbors vandalizing their property. Though the magistrate judge correctly pointed out multiple problems with the tenants' complaint, they should have been given an opportunity to amend it before the entire action was dismissed. The tenants are ordered to file an amended complaint addressing the issues the magistrate noted by August 24, 2023, or their lawsuit will be dismissed.

J. Stegner finds that the district court properly granted a city summary judgment on the civil rights claims of two ticketholders who were denied entry to a concert because they carried firearms. The private tenant that rented a city park to hold the concert was entitled to enforce its own rules against the possession of firearms. The ticketholders' Second Amendment rights were not implicated because they were not deprived of a constitutional right by a government actor. And their equal protection claims repeat their failed Second Amendment claims. Affirmed.
