3rd Circuit OKs FHA Dual Enforcement Scheme
Plaintiffs filing a claim of racial discrimination under the Fair Housing Act are not barred from pursuing a private lawsuit merely because they previously filed an administrative complaint before a state agency that also resulted in court action, the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled. The panel found that within the FHA, "a dual enforcement scheme exists that allows an aggrieved party to pursue both private and administrative enforcement" until the claim is resolved.Commonwealth v. Naugle, PICS Case No. 10-1815 (C.P. Adams April 12, 2010) George, J. (2 pages).
Appellant was charged with a third-degree felony for failure to return to Adams County Prison to serve her sentence following a conviction on theft-related charges. Her sentence was the result of a negotiated plea agreement. Appellant did not challenge the propriety of her conviction or the voluntariness of her guilty plea. Her challenge was to the court's discretion in imposing the agreed upon sentence. The court held the claim was frivolous and inconsistent with the procedural background.Trending Stories
