Plaintiffs initiated this action pursuant to G. L. c. 40A, ยง 17, challenging the affirmance by the Town of Sherborn Zoning Board of Appeals, whose members are Defendants, of a permit issued by the town's Zoning Enforcement Officer. The permit allows the construction of a single-family residence on a vacant lot (Lot 69F) owned by Defendants.

ADJUDGED and ORDERED that the claims asserted by Plaintiffs are DISMISSED
for lack of standing.
By the Court.
