litigation that transpired as a result of land use approvals at the administrative level resulted in significant fee exactions in recreation fees seven hundred forty nine thousand dollars to be exact the condition of approval which we argue is a form a carrot and stick in order to get your approval you pay the fees so in this case there were state court litigation resulting in the an element of those portions of the resolutions assessing those fees thereafter the pelleas refused to return the money that it was you asked the state court for in the money your honor the state court decision was silent on that point as the state court turned on yes your honor under a resettlement motion was made to clarify and sharpen the order to make the ministerial directive to return it because logic dictates if you another condition requiring the payment of money obviously logically the money should be returned to its rightful owner as we asked for that a resettlement a declaratory judgment action that might have lied to declare the balance of the resolutions legal the ones that were not in the hold and thus directing the town to refund the money which is our fifth cause of action before the southern district it would how many the proceed to a vehicle was inappropriate for the relief that i saw it that was resettlement program yes your honor i believe that he thought the wrong remedy know you are not one of the election of romney's problem necessarily but the second department argued that the change we were requesting to the order was material and substantive that being give us back our money in effect and my argument against a tidal wave of case law to the contrary was that this was not material not correct your honor for you well your honor my client decided on another track and are standing there that's why you're here my question is how can you possibly be here properly when you didn't when you aust in the state court and didn't pursue your state board well it really so far you haven't told me well your honor the appellate believe that there were mutually exclusive remedies that existed in the form of declaratory relief that didn't require further appeal to the court of appeals which is why we went the route of a civil rights action timely civil rights action looking looking at the state with the state court sent with the appellate division said i know that they found that the imposition of the recreation fee was inappropriate because though the planning board made no individual as consideration before imposing the fee they did say as a matter of law that the plenty vision had no power to impose such a fee just that it was a procedural problem is that a correct reading that's a correct reading your honor so they didn't necessarily rule out the subsequent imposition of a fee or further actions by that planning to this and that might have legitimized the reason retaining the  correct a sound point your honor and in fact in two thousand and eight when the first of the three lots that the appellant owns one one of the resolutions was challenged for the planning board well you the first hole the base of water here in for the recreational fia sess met fact finding process you both division sent it back and said do your fact finding they never did and they implemented a fee at the end of the process a procedural problem as opposed to a finding that the plan of the town had no authority to impose any fees i think that's accurate you're right yes yes and am i right in understanding also that had you requested return of the fee that the state court would have been authorized to do that in the article seventy proceedings that is that right i believe so your logically it follows from that decision to vacate a portion of that resolution assessing those fees that it necessarily follows that that money must be returned i don't think that necessarily required that particularity another outcome could have been that the town should put it in escrow for a period of wise course of action i abandon stand there are still being held in and in a segregated account none the less you are at the the genesis of the civil rights claims doesn't lie necessarily in the state court proceeding  whereby there was a notice of a fee that was exact at the end of sight plan and then the appellant paid that money at the end of the process thus creating a moment in time where a cruel began and three years would result for cruel purposes the broader arc of our complaint is that this is a pattern of conduct to two separate litigations required this time in the second judge grossman and supreme court by the county saying go back again i dismayed at the fact that you haven't done again your fact finding on these wrecked fees there's a broader arc you're which is that the town after receiving those monies and after resettlement being denied in those remedies being pursued or exhausted if you will the town created to sophie's choice its sense of you you may have your shoes back but the town would not recognize your approvals as being valid alternatively you can submit yourself back to the site planning process and amend your plan once again both of which were not desirable options in the least for the appellant so that was the moment in time in twenty fourteen that triggered the change of complection in these claims from declaratory and merely procedural if you will to civil rights claims where the conditioning of their return using really unlawful means took place and subsequent to that there were discussions held with the town's attorneys to release that release the money once again there were interpretive differences discussed and the town still refused in his latest twenty sixteen one thing i'd like to point out for the court in the lower court's ruling on the discovery rule application is when this is a cruel started one thing that's very important i believe is the court correctly cited to singleton as well as the covington cases coming to accuse coming out of this court obviously distinguish between a cruel and false and false arrest and malicious prosecution q says which is an important did not vindicate its rights to his property until that article seventy it was decided and it demanded his money back what we've already we've held earlier heavenly that if you're pursuing a remedy under article seventy eight that doesn't total the statute of hundred eighty three statute is running he is part of what you're saying is that a pattern and practice didn't develop till the second time or so but but still you have a special mutations problem you argue equitable tolling should apply and i had trouble understanding exactly the basis for that well your honor our position is that we didn't cross the rubicon if you will until the year twenty fourteen when the town made it clear that there was no alternative either submit plan or you can surrender your site point approval and have your money back those are the compelling circumstances that i wish the court to receive and that spend time on an understanding that this complaint frames a pattern of conduct designed to keep this property out of the opponents hands and that was part of it in their resolution twenty thirteen say you're going to have to pay in the preamble clauses to both resolutions it's identified thirty five hundred it's outside as well the payment came in october october eighteenth nearly a month after the resolution was passed on september twenty seventh which was a friday so in the process i was preparing the article seventy eight while the payment was being gathered and made on the eighteenth of october about a month later thank you very much these are one minute courts to sit as the judiciary panel of state court decisions so no i don't believe i don't believe it should have been there to begin with he decided that stache limitations grounds because that issue is not  in the last could you just address for me what right the town would have to retain the fees that after the state court article seventy eight declarations that they were improperly levied i think you another site plan what should pulte have done in retrospect i believe in the state court orders they should have asked for the return of the money they didn't ask for the return of the money in the underlying motion practice said that it was improperly levied i believe i believe that is correct there's no water so excuse me on the obvious salt it may be but if you don't ask you don't receive i believe they didn't ask for it they didn't get it state court twice rejected that argument and as a panel is recognised this court it's not for the federal courts to sit is if you do feel panel of the state court you've got one minute and you don't you very brief just to well back around to the point of state remedies and overruling state court i just want to focus on the nature of this as a continuing violation rather than the emphasis on the discovery rule for a cruel for a moment the sherman to say out of this court in two thousand and fourteen which is cited in our brief extensively stands for the proposition that there are non discrete acts that can continue with each day such as holding another person's money or another entit property in this case notwithstanding that there may have been there may be remedies for resettlement or to clarify that order the order still unknown is the fees and the town's right to hold them each day and continues to hold that property is a continuing violation which is his position that there's nothing further from the panel we speculate request that the decision be reversed in all respects or alternatively remanded thank you
