Description
DUH, Circuit Judge: FM Properties Operating Company (""FMP"") sued the City of Austin, Texas, under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, claiming the City arbitrarily and capriciously rejected its application for a land development permit, thereby violating its Fourteenth Amendment substantive due process rights. The district court entered judgment on a jury verdict in favor of FMP, and the City appealed. Because we find that FMP has failed to state a constitutional claim, we reverse the judgment and remand to the district court to dismiss.
