The N.C. Court of Appeals has upheld this morning Superior Court Judge Howard Manning’s May 2008 ruling denying plaintiffs (“students, parents, and school boards from Hoke, Halifax, Robeson, Cumberland, and Vance Counties”) $2.5 million in attorneys’ fees in the long-running Leandro school-funding lawsuit.
You’ll find that unanimous three-judge ruling here, along with the following:
- A unanimous three-judge panel affirmed a lower-court ruling siding with Pinehurst and against the gated Pinewild community in a forced annexation dispute.
- A unanimous three-judge panel affirmed a lower-court ruling siding with N.C. State University against an employee who contends he was demoted from his university job based on his age and sex.
- A unanimous three-judge panel reversed a lower-court ruling to side with Greensboro and its Minimum Housing Standard Commission in a dispute over an order to repair or demolish a dilapidated home.
- A unanimous three-panel affirmed a lower-court ruling that blocked Chatham County from permitting a 2006 rezoning for a “home improvement center and other retail stores and personal service shops” because of procedural violations connected with the rezoning.
