| Revock v. Cowpet Bay West Condominium Association | 853 F.3d 96 (3d Cir. 2017) | 55 NDLR P 14 | Homeowners brought action against thier condominium association and other homeowners, claiming that the association failed to provide a reasonable accommodation for homeowners' disability in the form of emotional support animals, and that the other homeowners interfered with the fair exercise of their fair housing rights, in violation of the Fair Housing Act (FHA). The Court of Appeals held that: 1) Fair Housing Act claims survive the death of a party; 2) issue of fact as to whether association reviewed homeowners' paperwork for an emotional support animal precluded summary judgment on claims association failed to make a reasonable accommodation under the Fair Housing Act; 3) issue of fact as to whether association reviewed homeowners' paperwork for an emotional support animal precluded summary judgment on Fair Housing Act interference claims; 4) issue of fact as to whether neighbor's comments about homeowners were sufficiently severe or pervasive so as to interfere with homeowners' Fair Housing Act rights precluded summary judgment on Fair Housing Act interference claims; and 5) issue of fact as to whether neighbor's blog posts about homeowners were sufficiently severe or pervasive so as to interfere with homeowners' Fair Housing Act rights precluded summary judgment on Fair Housing Act interference claims. Reversed in part, vacated in part, and remanded. | Case |
| Reynolds v. United States Internal Revenue Serv. | Slip copy, 2025 WL 3514102 (E.D.N.Y. Dec. 8, 2025) | This memorandum order addresses a pro se action seeking novel legal recognition for domestic companion animals under the Internal Revenue Code. The plaintiff, on behalf of herself and her golden retriever, alleges constitutional violations stemming from the IRS’s categorical exclusion of animals from qualifying as "dependents" for tax purposes, asserting claims under the Equal Protection and Due Process clauses. The court, analyzing a motion to stay discovery pending a motion to dismiss, finds the plaintiff’s claims facially unmeritorious, noting the Internal Revenue Code explicitly defines a dependent as a human "qualifying child" or "qualifying relative." The order further observes that the Fourteenth Amendment claim fails as a matter of law against a federal agency, and the Fifth Amendment Takings Clause argument (e.g., the disallowance of a dependency deduction constitutes an uncompensated taking) lacks supporting authority and is contravened by established precedent. Consequently, the court concludes the defendant has made a strong showing that the action is unlikely to survive dismissal, and that a stay of discovery is warranted to avoid unnecessary burden. The disposition of the motion is to grant the stay of discovery pending resolution of the anticipated motion to dismiss. | Case | |
| Rhoades v. City of Battle Ground | 2002 WL 31789336 (Wash.App. Div. 2) | 114 Wash.App. 1062 (2002) (Not Reported in P.2d) |
In this case, exotic animal owners appeal a summary judgment order dismissing their various constitutional challenges to a City of Battle Ground ordinance that prohibits ownership of such animals within city limits. Specifically, the owners contended that the ordinance violated their right to equal protection under the constitution because it treats those who keep exotic pets within the City differently from those who keep dangerous dogs. The court held that it was within the city's police power authority to enact these laws if they were supported by a rational relationship. In fact, the court found that the local legislative body may draw a different conclusion from the Washington Supreme Court in areas of public safety and the exercise of the local government's police powers provided it does not conflict with the general laws of the state. ( Note : publication of case ordered Feb. 7, 2003 in 115 Wash.App. 752, 63 P.3d 142 ). |

Exotic pet owners challenged on equal protection grounds an ordinance that banned exotic pets, yet allowed dangerous dogs under certain conditions. The court, in upholding the ordinance, found a rational relationship between the regulation and the public interest in preventing exotic pet attacks. |
