Harriet Cohen v. City of Des Plaines
Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
Decided December 6, 1993No. 92-3503PublishedCited by 66 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
KANNE, Circuit Judge.
Harriet Cohen sued the City of Des Plaines, Illinois, and various city officials, claiming that a provision of the city’s zoning ordinance regulating the use of church property in a residential district violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment as well as her right to equal protection of the laws under the Fourteenth Amendment. The district court agreed, granted Cohen’s motion for summary judgment, and subsequently awarded her damages. We find that the ordinance offends neither the First nor Fourteenth Amendment and therefore reverse.
