Citizens Alliance for Government Integrity v. York County, By and Through Its Manager, Joshua Edwards

Citizens Alliance for Government Integrity asks the Supreme Court to review a South Carolina land-use dispute over allegedly unauthorized permits issued by local executive officials after a zoning appeals board said the proposed use was prohibited. The case asks when such action can be arbitrary enough to violate the Fourteenth Amendment.

Oral argument has not been scheduled. The petition argues that appeals courts apply different standards to allegedly unauthorized executive permitting decisions.

The case could affect property owners, neighbors, and local governments when officials issue permits that allegedly conflict with zoning decisions. For example, it could shape whether residents can bring a federal claim after a prohibited project receives a permit.

Watch for the Court to schedule oral argument or take another action on the petition for certiorari (the Court's decision whether to hear a case). No decision window is available yet.

The case concerns when local officials' allegedly unauthorized permits can support a Fourteenth Amendment claim for arbitrary government action.

Property owners, neighbors, developers, and local governments could be affected when permits allegedly conflict with local zoning decisions.

The Court may schedule argument or take another action on the petition. No decision window is available yet.
