Colony Cove Properties, LLC v. City of Carson, Cal.
Petition for certiorari denied on October 17, 2011.
Issue
(1) Whether Williamson County Regional Planning Commission v. Hamilton Bank of Johnson City (1985) should be overruled, to the extent that it arbitrarily denies a federal forum to regulatory takings claimants seeking just compensation for the violation of their rights under the Fifth Amendment, contrary to the intention of Congress in enacting Section 1983; and (2) whether this Court should recognize an exception to Williamson County"s "state procedures" requirement for takings claimants like petitioner, whose Fifth Amendment claims will otherwise be relegated to a California state court system that does not recognize or provide a remedy of just compensation for their injuries.
