Beaulieu v. City of Lewiston

CARTER, Justice.

The plaintiff, Rita Beaulieu, appeals from an order of summary judgment issued by the Superior Court (Androscoggin County) dismissing her action which challenged, under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, as unconstitutional, a provision of the Lewiston General Assistance Ordinance. Plaintiff additionally challenges, under 14 M.R.S.A. §§ 5951-5963, the ordinance as illegal because it conflicts with the statutory mandate set forth in 22 M.R.S.A. ch. 1251 §§ 4450-4508, the enabling act for municipal general assistance programs. We affirm in part but vacate in part and remand to the Superior Court.
