There is no question that financial trader and inventor Fane Lozman has been a thorn in the side of the city council of Riviera Beach, Florida, for more than a decade. And now—for the second time in five years—his legal battles with the city have captured the attention of the U.S. Supreme Court.
The justices on Monday granted review in Lozman v. City of Riviera Beach, a case that raises a very different legal question from the high court's first foray into this south Florida conflict in 2012.
“My legal team can't recall an individual petitioner going up [to the Supreme Court] and getting review of two totally separate circuit splits,” Lozman, a former U.S. Marine Corps officer, said Monday. “I'm thrilled. It's been a lonely fight for the last nine-and-a-half years.”
