  • Puerto Rican squatters’ claim to a privacy interest in Commonwealth land was “ludicrous” because they had twice been asked to vacate the property
  • court dismisses as “frivolous” radiologist claim that the hospital’s termination of his oral contract amounted to a reduction of his staff privileges, invoking hospital bylaws’ procedural requirement.
  • squatters on farmland owned by Commonwealth of Puerto Rico lacked Fourth Amendment reasonable expectation of privacy to support injunction protecting their homes
  • fourth amendment constraints on government as law enforcer may be greater than as landowner
  • squatters on public land had no reasonable expectation of privacy in area they occupied
