Per Curiam. After carefully considering the briefs and
record on appeal, we affirm the judgment below. McCord v. Horace
Mann Ins. Co., 390 F.3d 138 (1st Cir. 2004)(de novo review).
Among other problems, land-use conflicts rarely support
constitutional claims. Extreme circumstances are required to
support substantive due process or equal protection claims.
Exhaustion of state remedies is a prerequisite for procedural due
process and Fifth Amendment takings claims. SFW Arecibo, LTD v.
Rodriguez, 415 F.3d 135 (1st Cir. 2005). Appellant made no showing
that he satisfied any of these requirements.
Affirmed. See 1st Cir. R. 27.0(c).
