Greenwald Family Limited Partnership v. Village of Mukwonago

The district court did not err when it entered summary judgment in favor of the defendant in a claim alleging violations of plaintiff’s Fourteenth Amendment rights and relinquished jurisdiction over remaining state-law claims where the plaintiff failed to meet its burden of proving that the defendant’s actions lacked any conceivable rational basis. The Seventh Circuit explained that the defendant’s decisions regarding development proposals and properties were rationally related to its legitimate interests in promoting its land-use objectives and protecting public finances. (WOOD and SCUDDER, concurring)
