Cert. Filed In RLUIPA Land Use Case

Earlier this week a petition for certiorari (full text) was filed with the U.S. Supreme Court in Eagle Cove Camp & Conference Center, Inc. v. Town of Woodsboro, Wisconsin, (cert. filed 3/10/2014).  In the case the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected challenges to county land use regulations which prohibit plaintiff from operating a year-round Bible camp on residentially zoned property. (See prior posting.) The cert. petition asks the Supreme Court to settle conflicts over the interpretation of several provisions of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act.  [Thanks to Art Jaros for the lead.]
