Music Cafes, Inc. v. City of Edina

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
Music Cafes, Inc. v. City of Edina, 99 F.3d 288 (8th Cir. 1996)
1996 WL 636869

Music Cafes, Inc. v. City of Edina

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

This is an action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 in which the plaintiff, the operator of a combination food court and dance hall, claims that the defendants, the City of Edina, Minnesota, and others, were motivated by racial prejudice when they placed conditions upon the plaintiffs permit to hold dances. The District Court 1 granted summary judgment for the defendants, and the plaintiff appeals.

We affirm, substantially for the reasons given in the opinion of the District Court. In our view, there is no substantial evidence in this record of racial motivation on the part of those who made the decision to subject plain *289 tiffs permit to the conditions complained of — that no smoking be allowed, and that patrons’ hats be checked at the door.

Affirmed.

. The Hon. David S. Doty, United States District Judge for the District of Minnesota.
