United States Fourth Circuit

Summary judgment holding that the plaintiffs were not entitled under the Fair Housing Amendments Act (FHAA) to an accommodation and a modification that they requested from defendant homeowners association is: 1) vacated and remanded in part with regard to the district court's holding on the merits of the modification request for the wheelchair access ramp, because that claim is not ripe; 2) affirmed in part, as to the district court's holding with respect to the accommodation request for permission to use an ATV, because that request was not "reasonable" within the meaning of the FHAA; and 3) affirmed in part, with respect to the district court’s denial of the defendants' request for attorneys’ fees and costs.
