United States First Circuit

In plaintiffs' action against several officers of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Puerto Rico Public Housing Administration (PRPHA), and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), claiming that in preparing and approving an application for demolition of their housing project residents violated their statutory right to resident consultation under section 1437p of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 and other claims, a grant of defendants' motion for summary judgment is affirmed as there are no genuine issues of material fact as to PRPHA's compliance with resident consultation prior to filing an application for demolition with HUD, and district court's dismissal of plaintiffs' de facto demolition claim is affirmed as well.
