Leroy F. MOLITOR, Appellant, v. CITY OF CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa and Cedar Rapids Housing Board of Appeals, Appellees.

Supreme Court of Iowa.

January 16, 1985.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert S. Hatala and Gerald T. Sullivan of Crawford, Sullivan, Read & Roemerman, Cedar Rapids, for appellant.

David P. McManus, Asst. City Atty., for appellees.

Considered by UHLENHOPP, P.J., and HARRIS, McCORMICK, McGIVERIN, and SCHULTZ, JJ.


McCORMICK, Justice.

The question here is whether a city has power to confer jurisdiction in the district court by city ordinance. Petitioner LeRoy F. Molitor sought to appeal an adverse ruling of the housing board of respondent City of Cedar Rapids to the district court pursuant to the City's housing ordinance. The district court found that it lacked jurisdiction of the appeal and dismissed the case. We affirm the district court.
