On October 31, 1984, appellants filed a complaint requesting equitable relief and damages to redress violations of their rights under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution, 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 and Chapter 65-1541 of the Laws of Florida, Special Laws of 1965, as amended by Chapter 69-1056 ("DDA Act"). Specifically, they alleged that appellees had taken their possessory interests in the Apartments without just compensation, denied them the relocation assistance provided in the DDA Act without due process of law, and violated the DDA Act. Appellants eventually amended their complaint and, on January 2, 1985, the district court dismissed the amended complaint for failure to establish the elements of any claim for which the court could grant relief.
