May 13, 20042 N.Y.3d 617
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that the developers' §1983 claims for substantive due process and equal protection failed because they did not establish a cognizable property interest and the municipal actions were not arbitrary of a constitutional magnitude. Accordingly, the complaints were dismissed.
