033051P.pdf   06/08/2004  Katherine W. Metzger  v.  Village of Cedar
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-3051
   District of Nebraska   
   Civil Case - constitutional takings. District court properly dismissed 
   without prejudice action alleging conspiracy by developer and owner of 
   adjacent land to take plaintiff's property without just compensation when 
   they built a levee causing flooding on plaintiff's property, as plaintiff 
   failed to first exhaust administrative remedies under state law under 
   ruling in Williamson County Regional Planning Comm. v. Hamilton 
   Bank of Johnson City, 473 U.S. 172 (1985). Action is not yet ripe and 
   dismissal for failure to state a claim and lack of jurisdiction was proper. 
   Plaintiff did not properly plead other constitutional claims and is not 
   barred from raising them. [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author]
