Susan R Bruley Trust v. City of Birmingham

This case stems from defendant city of Birmingham’s passage of an ordinance designating plaintiff Bruley’s 1 property as a historic district under the Local Historic District Act (the lhda). 2 Bruley appeals as of right from a trial court order granting the city summary disposition of Bruley’s various constitutional claims.
