RULING GRANTING SUMMARY JUDGMENT
JEFFREY ALKER MEYER, District Judge.
This is an equestrian equal protection case. Plaintiffs have a horse riding and boarding business in the Town of Easton, Connecticut. To their credit, plaintiffs voluntarily complied with Easton’s special zoning requirements for horse business operations. In this lawsuit, however, plaintiffs allege that the town and its zoning officials have violated the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause, because they have failed to investigate and enforce the same zoning requirements against other horse businesses in Easton.
