- Perry_v._City_of_Houston abstract "Jason Perry v. City of Houston is a federal lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas Questioning the constitutionality of enforcement measures used by the City of Houston that prevented the plaintiff from operating his muffin restaurant. The case is notable as it is one of the first cases since a lawsuit related to City Council Woman Helen Huey that contains substantive evidence of City Hall corruption at the City of Houston related to building permits, and the destroying of private citizen's property & businesses to meet the personal desires of city workers. One of many questions that is likely to emerge in the case is the question that asks if the city could even enforce a valid ordinance if it chose to not enforce that statute except on persons it did not favor. This constitutional question is likely to cause the case to reach the Fifth Circuit court of appeals and possibly the Supreme Court of the United States. The Suit notes that the exact employees of the City of Houston who stopped the plaintiff from operating the plaintiff's muffin restaurant were members of the plaintiff's local home owners association. The home owners association had visited the plaintiffs restaurant with a contract to force the plaintiff to add deed restrictions to his deed restriction-less property. The home owners association stated at that meeting that if the plaintiff didn't do what the home owners association wanted they "knew" people at the "city" and would "ruin" the plaintiffs business. At a later time the City of Houston's own attorneys tried to convince these members of this home owners association who were employees of the City of Houston to allow the plaintiff to operate the muffin restaurant. Despite advice of the city's counsel the workers continued to stop the plaintiff from operating plaintiff's restaurant. The employees who prevented the muffin restaurant from operating used a city ordinance to keep the muffin bakery closed that they had chosen to not enforce on dozens of other businesses. The plaintiff alleges he will prove at trial that he was relatively speaking the only person the law was actually enforced on.The plaintiffs muffin restaurant, Muffin Man (sometimes Muffinman) was controversial and featured a provocative marketing campaign that may have influenced the home owners association. The plaintiff claimed his restaurant was built to sober up drunk drivers as it was surrounded by bars and was an after hours late night restaurant. The city maintained that the neighborhood area was in out rage over how the restaurant had applied for a license to sell alcohol The plaintiff claims he suffered hundreds of thousands in damages along with emotional damages and requests for punitive damages and in general requests a disincentivizer levied against the city. It is possible that if the plaintiff were to prevail in jury trial that the plaintiff could win damages measured in the millions.".
