Description

In this lawsuit a municipality, the City of Parma, seeks an injunction prohibiting enforcement by the Attorney General of the Fair Housing Act of 1968 against it. The City claims that it is entitled to the injunction because the statute does not apply to municipalities, and that if it does so apply it is unconstitutional. The complicating factor in this suit is that the Attorney General had previously commenced a pattern and practice of discrimination action in the name of the United States against the City of Parma in the District Court, United States v. City of Parma, No. C-73-439 (N.D.Ohio, filed April 27, 1973), in which action these same claims had been raised by Parma as a counterclaim. That counterclaim sought an injunction and a hearing before a three-Judge Court. The District Court dismissed the counterclaim, and this Court dismissed Parmas appeal of that ruling for lack of jurisdiction, holding that the dismissal of the counterclaim was not a final appealable order because the issues on the complaint and answer were still pending in that Court and were ripe for decision. See Rule 54(b) Fed.R.Civ.P.; United States v. City of Parma, No. 74-1643 (6th Cir. Sept. 26, 1974).
