How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- noting “under the statute itself, plaintiffs must make a showing of 41 discriminatory intent; under the regulations, plaintiffs simply must show a discriminatory impact”
- concluding, as to a claim under 42 U.S.C. § 5309 by individuals who were allegedly discriminated against, that Title I of HCDA was not “enacted for their ‘especial benefit’ in the sense required for finding a private right of action”
- because “there is no private right of action,” it is “unnecessary for us to consider whether sovereign immunity stands as a bar to plaintiffs’ suit”
- civil rights action filed against city and HUD officials, alleging defendants deprived city's minority population of equal opportunities in employment, housing, and government contracts via federally funded programs
