Deborah Klock v. Town of Tewksbury & others
The issues presented are whether a zoning board's upholding of a denial of a permit to build a group home or assisted living facility violated G. L. c. 40A, § 3; whether the denial implicated the Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. § 3604 (f)(1)(B), and the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12132.
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.
