Jeffery Seideman & others v. City of Newton
The issue, among others, is whether a Superior Court judge correctly ruled, on summary judgment, in favor of ten taxpayers who challenged as unlawful the city's appropriation of funding under G. L. c. 44B, the Community Preservation Act, for two city park projects.
Interested parties may file their briefs in the Office of the Clerk for the Commonwealth, John Adams Courthouse, Suite 1-400, Pemberton Square, Boston MA 02108-1724 (Telephone 617-557-1020). Parties filing amicus briefs are expected to comply with the requirements of Rules 17, 19 and 20 of Mass. Rules of Appellate Procedure. Amicus briefs, to assist the court, should focus on the ramifications of a decision and not solely on the interests of the parties filing such briefs.
