United States Second Circuit
Third Church of Christ, Scientist, of N.Y. v. City of N.Y., 08-6022
In an action seeking a permanent injunction prohibiting New York City from restricting a church's use of its facility for private, catered events pursuant to the equal-terms provision of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act, an injunction in favor of plaintiff is affirmed where the formal differences the City asserted could not protect its course of conduct and the institutions at issue were similarly situated for all functional intents and purposes relevant here.
