Karlayne Parker - Orlando Sentinel - November 18, 1989 Back to News
Howey-in-the-Hills did not use its zoning ordinances to discriminate against DeSisto College, a panel of three appeal judges in Atlanta ruled Friday.
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a February ruling by U.S. District Judge Susan Black.
"It's another victory in a string of victories," said Howey attorney Keith Mitnik from his Orlando office. "The town was in the right and should have never been sued."
Steve Durant, a Jacksonville attorney who represented the college during the appeal, and Marsha Glines, former president of the college, could not be reached for comment.
The college for students with learning disabilities closed in May, its officials saying it was bankrupt with just $5,000 in assets. The DeSisto prep school, founded in 1980 by Michael DeSisto, closed in January because of declining enrollment.
Mitnik said the only recourse DeSisto has is to appeal the case to the U.S. Supreme Court, which he said would not likely hear the case.
