Randle v. City of Tulsa

Summary

The Oklahoma Supreme Court affirmed the district court's dismissal of the plaintiffs' public nuisance and unjust enrichment claims, holding that the alleged harms stemming from the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre fall outside the scope of the state's public nuisance statute and that the plaintiffs failed to allege the requisite elements of unjust enrichment. The Court also affirmed dismissal of the claim under 12 O.S. §1449 for unauthorized use of name and likeness because no specific unauthorized use was pleaded.
