   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-3216
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Murphy, Circuit Judge, and Perry, 
   District Judge] 
   Civil case - Insurance. Following a water main break which damaged an 
   apartment building, the City paid claimants, both natural persons and 
   business entities, where insurance did not cover the loss and denied 
   claims made by insurance companies based on losses suffered by their 
   insureds; the two classes were not similarly situated, and the City's 
   decision not to pay the insurers did not violate their Equal Protection 
   rights; even if the insurers were similarly situated, the City's decision 
   was rationally related to a legitimate government interest in protecting 
   the welfare of the City's residents; because the insurers did failed to 
   pursue the available mandamus action in state court, their federal and 
   state takings claims were not ripe for review and were properly dismissed 
   without prejudice. Judge Murphy, concurring.
