091909P.pdf   03/24/2010  Michael Dahlen  v.  Shelter House
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-1909
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Davenport   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Shepherd, Circuit Judge,
   and Lange, District Judge]
   Civil case - civil rights. Because the proposed use of plaintiffs' property 
   meets the Fifth Amendment's public purpose requirement, the plaintiffs
   are required to seek compensation through state inverse condemnation
   procedures before any federal civil rights claim can be ripe; without a ripe
   claim to adjudicate, the district court properly dismissed this case for lack
   of jurisdiction.
