       Appellants allege that Magner, a DNHPI supervisor, engaged in a scheme of
extortion and attempted extortion. Specifically, they allege that Magner approached
property owners after he wrote up Housing Code violations and offered to arrange a
sale of their property for a price well-below market value. It is undisputed that none
of those property owners actually accepted Magner’s offer. Appellants assert that
Magner transferred “inside knowledge” to a “close friend,” Wally Nelson, who
subsequently purchased “many distressed single family and duplex homes under
Magner’s control.” They further allege that Nelson, in return, has provided
construction services to Magner’s father at a discounted rate.
