How later courts describe this case

  • “[I]n order to state a claim under § 1982, one must allege intentional racial discrimination. [Plaintiffs] claim is meritless because he does not contend that the Township’s actions were motivated by race.”
  • “lower federal courts possess no power to sit in direct review of state court decisions[] . . . [and] the district court has no authority to order a state court to set aside its order[]”
