Kurtz v. Verizon New York, Inc.

Petition for certiorari denied on January 20, 2015
Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
14-439 2d Cir. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2014

Issue: (1) Whether the exhaustion requirements of Williamson County Regional Planning Commission v. Hamilton Bank apply to any constitutional claim – including the procedural due-process claims in this case – when that claim shares facts in common with a possible Takings Clause claim; and (2) whether federal courts must impose special exhaustion requirements on Takings Clause claims even where, as here, the taking is “final.”
