WWBITV, Inc. v. Vill. of Rouses Point, No. 08-5112

In a 42 U.S.C. section 1983 action arising out of the demolition of plaintiffs' building by defendant village after a fire, summary judgment for defendants is affirmed where: 1) plaintiffs failed to produce evidence sufficient to create a genuine dispute concerning whether defendants abused their discretion in determining that an emergency existed; and 2) given the eventual dismissal of all of plaintiffs' federal claims, the district court acted well within its discretion in declining to assert supplemental jurisdiction over plaintiffs' state-law claim.
