9/24. The U.S. Court of Appeals (3rdCir) issued its opinion [8 pages in PDF] in Nextel v.
City of Margate, a dispute over Nextel's construction of a telecommunications facility
atop a condominium building. Nextel filed a complaint in U.S. District Court (DNJ) against
the City of Margate and others seeking relief under 47 U.S.C. § 332(c)(7) following
Margate's efforts to reopen hearings on Nextel construction of previously approved
facilities. The District Court denied Nextel's motion for preliminary injunction. The
Appeals Court dismissed the appeal, and vacated the District Court's order, for lack of
ripeness, with further instructions to dismiss the complaint, without prejudice.
