Opinion of the Court
SUMMARY ORDER
Appellant appeals from a May 18, 2006 judgment of the District Court granting appellees’ motions for summary judgment and dismissing a variety of claims brought by appellant under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Appellant maintains three claims on appeal: (1) appellees violated appellant’s First Amendment right to petition the government for redress of grievances by refusing to entertain a site-plan application before payment of fees incurred during review of a prior site-plan application, (2) such conduct violated appellant’s right to equal protection as a “class of one” under Village of Willowbrook v. Olech, 528 U.S. 562, 564, 120 S.Ct. 1073, 145 L.Ed.2d 1060 (2000), and (3) the payment of the fees in question was an unconstitutional condition imposed on appellant’s right to petition the government for redress of grievances. We assume the parties’ familiarity with the facts and procedural history of the case.
Upon careful review of the record, the submissions to this Court, and the relevant
The judgment of the District Court is AFFIRMED.
