1Opinion of the Court
GRUENDER, Circuit Judge.
This case is the latest front in the protracted legal battle over a homeless shelter that appellee Shelter House plans to build on a plot of land adjacent to the Dahlens’ property in Iowa City, Iowa. Michael and Janet Dahlen, along with Michael McNiel (“the Dahlens”), brought suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, claiming a violation of the Fifth Amendment’s Takings Clause and requesting damages as well as an injunction to prevent the planned construction. Because we find that the controversy is not ripe, we affirm the district court’s dismissal for lack of jurisdiction.
