Court Docket
A former tenant sued Greystar Management Services, a landscaping contractor and a sheriff's lieutenant, alleging Fair Housing Act retaliation, conversion and constitutional claims arising from the alleged deprivation of her personal property during a December 2011 eviction. The case went to the Fourth Circuit (No. 14-2145) and back; the district court issued further rulings in 2016 and the docket closed in February 2017 without a judgment for the plaintiff.
