Alto Eldorado Partnership v. County of Santa Fe
Petition for certiorari denied on October 3, 2011.
Issue
(1) Whether claims for prospective relief under Nollan v. California Coastal Commission, which by definition implicate no compensation issues, fall outside the purview of the state-procedures rule outlined in Williamson County Regional Planning Commission v. Hamilton Bank of Johnson City and immediately ripe in federal court; (2) if not, whether the Court should overrule Williamson County's state-procedures rule on the grounds that the rule effectively bars, from federal court, taking claims brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, in contravention of Congress's intent in enacting § 1983 to provide federal rights claimants with access to federal court; and (3) whether heightened review under Nollan applies to permit conditions that result from legislative enactments and that constitute non-physical-invasions of property.
