091679P.pdf   05/17/2010  Michael Nikolas  v.  City of Omaha
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-1679
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Chief Judge, Author, with Gruender and
   Benton, Circuit Judges]
Civil Case - civil rights. The dismissal of claims for damages arising from the City's prosecution, later reversed, under a littering city code violation is affirmed, as the constitutional vagueness, delegation, ex post facto violation, and Fourth Amendment claims are without merit. The Fourth Amendment claims relating to the inspection of the garage fail, as inspector did not need a warrant before looking in the window to confirm or refute an apparent violation. The due process claim failed, as Nikolas had notice of violation and he was not denied use of a protected property interest.
