United States Fourth Circuit
Painter's Mill Grille, LLC v. Brown, 12-1357
The district court properly dismissed plaintiffs' complaint alleging that defendant-landlord and its agents, motivated by racial animus, interfered with plaintiffs' business and its opportunity to sell the restaurant, including its leasehold interest, in violation of federal statutes and state tort principles, where: 1) plaintiff principals do not have standing because they elected to conduct their business through a limited liability company; and 2) plaintiff company did not set forth sufficient facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face, for any of its causes of action.
