Aegis of Arizona, L.L.C. v. Town of Marana

OPINION

PE LANDER, Presiding J.

¶ 1 Appellant/defendant the town of Maraña appeals from a judgment, entered upon a jury verdict, awarding appellee/plaintiff Aegis of Arizona, L.L.C., $428,199.00 on its substantive due process and equal protection claims, which it had brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (hereafter § 1983). On appeal, Marana challenges the judgment on several grounds. Because we agree with Maraña that the trial court erred in sending Aegis’s constitutional claims to the jury, we reverse and remand the case with directions to enter judgment in favor of Maraña.
