Description
This appeal concerns primarily the issue of whether an applicant for a building permit, subsequently ordered to be issued by a state court, had a sufficiently clear entitlement to the permit to constitute a property interest protected by the Due Process Clause. The issue arises on an appeal by the Village of Southampton, New York, and various Village officials, from a judgment of the District Court for the Eastern District of New York (Charles P. Sifton, Judge), after a jury trial, awarding RRI Realty Corp. ("RRI") $2.7 million in damages and attorneys fees pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1988 (1982). RRI claimed that the Village officials, acting in their official capacity, had wrongfully denied RRIs application for a building permit, thereby depriving RRI of its property without due process of law. RRI cross-appeals to challenge the pretrial ruling of the District Court denying RRIs motion to amend its complaint to assert a claim for punitive damages against the Village officials in their individual capacities.
