Supreme Court Review Sought In RLUIPA Case

According to the Longmont (CO) Times Call, a petition for certiorari was filed with the U.S. Supreme Court last week in Rocky Mountain Christian Church v. Board of Commissioners of Boulder County, Colorado.  In the case, the 10th Circuit upheld a jury's determination that denial of a special use permit to a church violated the equal terms and unreasonable limitations provisions of RLUIPA. (See prior posting.) The 10th Circuit subsequently denied a rehearing after making minor changes in its original opinion. (See prior posting.)
