Description
CLARK, Associate Justice Stanley and Judith Moore, both of whom are Negroes, brought this fair housing action under the Civil Rights Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. § 3601 et seq., and the Civil Rights Act of 1866, 42 U.S.C. § 1982, on April 4, 1974. The complaint charged Mary Ryan Townsend, appellant in Nos. 74-1742 and 74-2067, and Jane Melnick, appellant in Nos. 74-1743 and 74-2068, with racial discrimination in connection with their refusal to sell a dwelling house in Chicago, owned by Mrs. Townsend and offered for sale through Mrs. Melnick. Originally the complaint sought money damages as well as equitable relief, declaratory relief, attorneys' fees, and costs. After a prompt and thorough hearing, the District Court (Marshall, J.) entered a preliminary injunction on April 16, 1974, restraining the sale of the property to anyone other than the Moores pendente lite. Answers were filed and a jury was demanded by Mrs. Melnick. On April 23, 1974, Mrs. Townsend filed a cross claim against Mrs. Melnick and a third-party complaint against Jean Spencer Real Estate Inc. (the sales agent), seeking judgment over against them for any damages she might suffer in the litigation. These issues were severed for separate trial by the Court pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 42(b).
