T-Mobile South, LLC, Petitioner v. City of Roswell, Georgia. — Alito, J., Concurring

Summary

The Court held that the city’s denial letter satisfied the statutory “in writing” requirement but that the city must also provide a statement of reasons essentially contemporaneously with the denial, and affirmed the Eleventh Circuit’s judgment while remanding for further proceedings on T‑Mobile’s remaining claims. Justice Alito concurred, noting additional administrative‑law principles, and Justice Thomas dissented, rejecting the timing requirement.
