Himsel v. 4/9 Livestock, LLC
Petition for certiorari denied on October 5, 2020
Issue: Whether a state statute violates the takings clause of
the United States Constitution when it provides complete immunity from nuisance and trespass liability
for an industrial-scale hog facility newly sited next to
long-standing family homes, even though the facility
causes noxious waste substances to continuously invade those homes, making it impossible for the families to use and enjoy their properties where they have
lived for decades.
