Description

This appeal represents the continuation of Ronald and Dee Johnsons multiyear litigation over a 20-acre parcel of land they own in Hennepin County, Minnesota. After pursuing several state court actions during the 1990s, the Johnsons brought this suit in federal court against the cities of Shorewood and Minnetonka, Minnesota, the Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District (Watershed District), various private real estate developers, and the United States of America (acting through the Army Corps of Engineers and certain Army officials). The Johnsons assert a multitude of federal and state claims, but their primary allegation is that the appellees have, individually and in concert, effected various regulatory and physical takings of their property and conspired to prevent them from receiving just compensation. Adopting a series of reports and recommendations by a magistrate judge, the district court dismissed the claims against the United States for want of subject matter jurisdiction and on statute of limitations grounds, granted summary judgment to the remaining defendants, and declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the pendent state law claims. The Johnsons appeal each of these decisions, as well as certain discovery rulings and the decision denying them leave to submit a third amended complaint. Shorewood cross-appeals, arguing that the district court should have found certain claims barred by res judicata. We affirm in all respects, albeit on slightly different grounds with respect to some of the claims.
