Arrigoni Enterprises, LLC v. Durham

Petition for certiorari denied on April 25, 2016
Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
15-631 2d Cir. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2015

Issue: (1) Whether the Court should reconsider, and then overrule or modify, the portion of Williamson County Regional Planning Commission v. Hamilton Bank of Johnson City barring property owners from filing a federal takings claim in federal court until they exhaust state court remedies, when this rule results in numerous jurisdictional “anomalies” and has a “dramatic” negative impact on takings law under San Remo Hotel, L.P. v. City and County of San Francisco; and (2) whether, alternatively, federal courts can and should waive Williamson County’s state litigation requirement for prudential reasons when a federal takings claim is factually concrete without state procedures, as some circuit courts hold, or apply the requirement as a rigid jurisdictional barrier, as other circuits hold.
