Flemenbaum v. Florida Department of Children & Families
Opinion
Plaintiffs-Appellants Abraham Flem-enbaum, M.D. and Leon Flemenbaum, M.D. (the “Flemenbaums”) seek to open methadone treatment clinics in Broward County and Miami-Dade County, Florida.
The Flemenbaums filed suit against the Florida Department of Children & Families (“DCF”) and its Secretary, alleging that in prohibiting the Flemenbaums from opening methadone chnics, DCF violated the Americans With Disabilities Act (“ADA”), the Rehabilitation Act of 1974 (“Rehabilitation Act”), the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution, and the Florida Constitution. The district court granted summary judgment to DCF and its Secretary on all counts, and the Flemenbaums appeal the district court’s grant of summary judgment on only their ADA and Rehabilitation Act claims. 1
*520 After review and oral argument, we affirm the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of DCF and its Secretary, for the reasons stated in the district court’s order of April 29, 2005.
AFFIRMED.
. The Flemenbaums do not appeal the district court’s entry of summary judgment against them on Counts IV and V of their Second Amended Complaint (the Fourteenth Amend *520 ment claim and the Florida Constitutional claim).
