Powell v. Zoning Board Of Appeals Of The City Of Chicago

1994 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 4772 (N.D. IL. 1994)

Facts

Powell (P) alleges that Chicago's Zoning Administrator (D) wrongfully denied her a zoning certification for a retail store on the first floor of her two-story building. D had the case removed to federal court under 28 U.S.C. Section 1441 because the claim arose under the U.S. Constitution and a federal question. P alleges that her case is a simple zoning ordinance dispute and it should be remanded back to the state court and that the case was improperly removed.
