MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Sanchez v. City of Fresno, 1:12-CV-00428-LJO-SKO (E.D. Cal. 2012):
An equal protection claim can lie where plaintiff can establish that he is a "class of one" in that he "has been intentionally treated differently from others similarly situated and that there is no rational basis for the difference in treatment." Village of Willowbrook v. Olech, 528 U.S. 562 (2000). Plaintiff concedes that he does not claim he is a "class of one" for purposes of equal protection. Doc. 40 at 21.
