1Opinion of the Court
HEANEY, Circuit Judge.
Julian G. Nemmers brought the present action in state court against the City of Dubuque, Iowa, and its individual council members. He contended that the defendants had rezoned property owned by him in violation of the United States and Iowa Constitutions. The case was removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa, and that court denied Nemmers’ relief after a two-day trial. Nemmers appeals. We hold that the defendants’ actions violated Nemmers’ rights under the Iowa Constitution and reverse.
