   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-3586
                          and No:  06-3600
                          and No:  06-3602
   District of North Dakota - Bismarck   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Beam and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - civil rights. City had a legitimate interest in generating
   revenue by selling fuel at the city's airport, and the actions it took with
   respect to plaintiff, such as refusing to tow planes to plaintiff's refueling
   facilities, were rationally related to its legitimate goals and did not
   deprive plaintiff of due process; differences in how the city treated
   plaintiff, the full-service provider at the airport, and other vendors who
   provided only limited services were rationally related to the formal lease
   agreement between the parties and did not violate plaintiff's equal
   protection rights; discovery orders affirmed; city's counterclaim that
   plaintiff had breached the parties' contract concerning fuel fees was
   barred by the North Dakota statute of limitations on contract actions.
