Zoning Bulletin June 25, 2012 1 Volume 6 1 No. 12 <br />"reasonably could be described as educationally significant" — <br />thus precluding summary judgment. The court remanded the mat- <br />ter back to the Land Court to determine the answer to that issue. <br />See also: Whitinsville Retirement Soc., Inc. v. Town of North- <br />bridge, 394 Mass. 757, 477 N.E.2d 407 (1985). <br />See also: Fitchburg Housing Authority v. Board of Zoning Ap- <br />peals of Fitchburg, 380 Mass. 869, 406 N.E.2d 1006 (1980). <br />Case Note: <br />Regis challenged the "dominant purpose" requirement, noting those <br />words were not in the Dover Amendment's statutory text. The court <br />rejected that argument and held that the primary purpose requirement <br />"helps ensure that a party invoking the Dover Amendment protection <br />does so without engrafting ari educational component onto a project in <br />order to obtain favorable treatment under the statute." <br />Due Process /Revocation of <br />Permits —City Issues Business <br />Owner Permits, Then Revokes <br />Them Two Months Later <br />Business owner claims deprivation of <br />constitutional due process <br />Citation: Bowlby v. City of Aberdeen, Miss., 2012 WL 1662936 <br />(5th Cir. 2012) <br />The Fifth Circuit has jurisdiction over Louisiana, Mississippi, <br />and Texas. <br />FIFTH CIRCUIT (MISSISSIPPI) (05/14/12) —This case ad- <br />dressed the issue of whether the revocation of permits to a busi- <br />ness owner, without notifying the business owner prior to the re- <br />vocation, violated her constitutional right to procedural due <br />process. The case also addressed whether an individual claiming <br />a due process violation must first exhaust all administrative rem- <br />edies in order for any deprivation of property to be "final" and <br />the claims to be ripe for adjudication. <br />© 2012 Thomson Reuters 5 <br />
