                                 Before

                       Boudin, Chief Judge,

           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).
