The U.S. Supreme Court granted a petition for writ of certiorari (that is, they agreed to hear an appal) in the case of Magner v. Gallagher, a case concerning a claim of disparate impact in the context of the federal Fair Housing Act. The case was originally brought before Chief Judge Michael J. Davis, U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota. (HT: Minnesota Litigator reader JS. Thanks!)
