Marinoff v. United States Department of Housing and Urban Development

Argued: February 26, 1996 Appeal from a judgment of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Kimba Wood, Judge) dismissing appellant's complaint filed pursuant to the Fair Housing Amendments Act (""FHA""), 42 U.S.C. Section(s) 3601 et seq. Appellant claims that the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (""HUD"") failed to investigate her administrative complaint alleging racial discrimination in a federally assisted urban renewal housing project. We affirm and adopt the opinion of the district court and the magistrate judge concluding that the FHA provides no basis for a private right of action against HUD and that HUD's dismissal of the complaint is not reviewable under the Administrative Procedure Act. ROSLYN C. MARINOFF, New York, New York, pro se, for Plaintiff-Appellant.
