CompFox AI Summary

The plaintiff, Ezella, brought a class action lawsuit against Victor Balias and Jess Radney for racial discrimination in housing, citing violations of the Fair Housing Act and the Civil Rights Act of 1866. The court determined that the claim under the Fair Housing Act was time-barred due to late filing. However, the plaintiff's claim under the Civil Rights Act of 1866 (42 U.S.C. § 1982) was found to be valid and within the Texas statute of limitations.
