   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-2019
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Wollman and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Fair Housing Act. In action by lessors alleging the City's 
   heightened enforcement of housing and rental standards had a disparate 
   impact on the availability of housing for persons protected by the Fair 
   Housing Act, the district court did not err in granting the City's motion 
   for judgment on the pleadings under Rule 12(c)under the cautionary 
   standards announced by the Supreme Court in Texas Department of Housing & 
   Community Affairs v. Inclusive Communities Project, Inc., 135 S.Ct. 2507 
   (2015); the plaintiffs failed to plead sufficient facts to plausibly 
   support the existence of an arbitrary, artificial and unnecessary policy 
   causing a problematic disparity.
