1Opinion of the Court
OPINION OF THE COURT
Chief Judge Kaye.
In the two appeals before us, appellants claim they were deprived of civil rights protected by the United States Constitution when the municipal defendants wrongfully refused consent to land-use permit applications. Although the projects ultimately proceeded to completion, appellants seek damages under 42 USC § 1983 for the delays occasioned by the wrongdoing. We conclude, as did the Appellate Division, that there was no constitutional violation and the complaints should be dismissed.
