Decision Available In Boston Case On Standing To Challenge Sale of Land

Two months ago I reported that in Boston, a Suffolk Superior Court judge denied defendants' motion to dismiss a lawsuit charging the city of Boston with violating state and federal limits on the separation of church and state in selling land to the Islamic Society of Boston for a mosque in Roxbury. The full opinion in the standing case is finally available on LEXIS. The case is Policastro v. City of Boston, 2005 Mass. Super. LEXIS 579 (Nov. 8, 2005).
