Description
Plaintiff-Appellant appeals from a Rule 41(b), Fed. R. Civ. P., involuntary dismissal at trial of his suit complaining that defendants-appellees, the City of Sterling Heights, Michigan, and its City Council members, violated the fourteenth amendment by favoring local companies in its process for awarding a weed-cutting contract. Appellant, Robert Kasom, asserts that after the city solicited and received bids for the project, it disregarded the results and solicited a new round of bids in an attempt to award the contract to a Sterling Heights company. Appellant, whose business is not located in Sterling Hieghts, claims that he had a due process property interest in the award of the weed-cutting contract, because he submitted the lowest responsible bid in the first round of bidding, and also that the city's de facto residency requirement violates the equal protection clause. Appellant also raises analogous state law claims under the Michigan Constitution.
