Details: In September 2004, Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne damaged the home of Richard and Marilyn Barfield in Jupiter Inlet Colony. They had to move out while repairs were made. For years afterward, the town’s code enforcement office delayed repairs by issuing citations—800 in all. The couple claimed the citations were a form of harassment issued at the instigation of a mayor upset with statements Marilyn Barfield made against him while she served a term as a town commissioner. They claimed the police chief was complicit, in effect acting as the mayor’s enforcer. The couple filed suit on First, Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment claims.

Case: Richard D. Barfield v. Town of Jupiter Inlet Colony, et al
