Dubois v. Association of Apartment Owners of 2987 Kalakaua
Opinion
Opinion
Clifton, J.
Plaintiffs John Dubois and Timothy Prindable sued a condominium association, two association board members, a property management company, and one of its employees (collectively, the “Condominium Association”) for refusing to permit plaintiffs to keep a dog in their condominium unit. Their primary legal claim was that the Condominium Association had discriminated against plaintiffs in violation of the Fair Housing Act (“FHA”), 42 U.S.C. §§ 3601-3631 , by failing to make a reasonable accommodation for Prindable’s disability. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of the Condominium Association, in a series of orders. Summary judgment on the FHA discrimination claim was granted in a published decision. See Prindable v. Ass’n of Apt. Owners, 304 F.Supp.2d 1245 (D.Haw.2003). The district court later denied a motion for reconsideration of that order, and then granted summary judgment to the Condominium Association on all remaining claims. Dubois appeals the judgment which resulted from those orders. We affirm.
