Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company v. Cisneros

United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit
52 F.3d 1351 (1995)

DD

Facts

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) (defendant) was responsible for administering the Fair Housing Act (FHA). Pursuant to the text of the FHA, racial discrimination was prohibited in the provision of services that affected an individual’s ability to purchase housing. Because mortgage lenders required borrowers to obtain property insurance on mortgaged property, HUD enacted a regulation that interpreted the FHA to prohibit racial discrimination in property-insurance services. HUD received complaints from various individuals that Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (Nationwide) (plaintiff) engaged in racial discrimination in its property-insurance services. Relying on the regulation, HUD began investigating these complaints. Nationwide filed suit against HUD, contending that the regulation was invalid. The district court granted summary judgment to HUD. Nationwide appealed.
