Ronald DeCoster v. Waushara County Highway Department, et al.
I. Are Petitioner's claims under the URA, the
Fifth Amendment and 42 U.S.C. §1983
barred by the doctrine of claim preclusion
and res judicata, despite the fact that
Petitioner never was provided with notice of
his right and an opportunity to request
attorney fees and costs under the URA, and
thus such were never addressed or ruled
upon by the state court?
II. Does Petitioner have a right of action under
42 U.S.C. §1983, to enforce his rights under
the URA and state law mandating its
application, to obtain reasonable attorney
fees and litigation costs, as the prevailing
party in an inverse condemnation case, in a
local government highway project receiving
federal funding, which adversely affected
his property rights?
Whether petitioner's claims under the URA, the Fifth Amendment, and 42 U.S.C. §1983 are barred by claim preclusion and res judicata despite lack of notice of right to attorney fees under URA
