Decision in the MGM fence case
(posted June 6, 2009)
|
 | City v. MGM Properties: The Minnesota Court of Appeals issued its decision in the MGM fence case. The Court of Appeals affirmed in part and reversed in part. First, the Court of Appeals affirmed the district court's dismissal of the case, but based the dismissal on different reasons. The appellate court dismissed the case because judicial review of the case was premature due to the fact that MGM failed to exhaust its administrative remedies (i.e., MGM never submitted a site plan application seeking access to the alley) and MGM failed to show that it would have been futile to submit to the administrative process. The appellate court modified the dismissal, however, to make it without prejudice (allowing for the possibility of further enforcement action or litigation of the issues).
