The State of New York (Carey) won in the Second Circuit case Engblom v. Carey, 677 F.2d 957 (2d.c. 1982), but only on a technicality. The court held the guards had standing to bring a Third Amendment challenge.
Engblom was a guard in a New York State prison. She lived in a home owned by the prison, and provided as part of her pay.
The guards went on strike, and the State called in National guardsmen to guard the prison. The State evicted the strikers from their prison owned homes, and used them to house the National guardsmen that were replacing them.
Engblom sued, claiming that the States action violated the 3rd amendment ban on quartering soldiers in private homes without the owners consent.
The US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled that the ban included "tenants" as well as "owners", and that therefore it was illegal for the State to quarter the guardsmen in the prison guards homes without their consent. The State argued - unsuccessfully - that since they'd evicted Engblom, she was no longer a tenant and had no 3rd amendment right.
Engblom still lost the case, but on other, unrelated, grounds. (Immunity of State officials from suit from unknowing violation of the law)

∙ 13y agoEngblom v. Carey, 677 F.2d 957 (2d.c. 1982)
Engblom is the only relatively significant federal case brought on the grounds of Third Amendment and Due Process violations. The case was appealed to the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
Third Amendment
"No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law."
In Engblom, a group of New York state prison corrections officers were evicted from prison housing at Mid-Orange Correctional Facility when they staged a strike, and their residences were used to house members of the National Guard. Two corrections officers argued that their Third Amendment and Due Process rights had been violated, but the US District Court granted defendants' (New York government officials) motion for summary judgment on both claims and dismissed the case on the grounds that the Plaintiffs had no standing because the homes belonged to the prison.
A panel of three judges in the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit heard the case on appeal. Senior Circuit Judge Mansfield wrote the opinion of the court, reversing and remanding the US District Court dismissal of the Third Amendment complaint. The Second Circuit held the guards had a tenancy interest (like that of a renter) and had been unlawfully deprived of their housing without notice, hearing, or judicial determination, a violation of New York law.
The Second Circuit affirmed the trial court's decision that the guards lacked a Due Process claim because the eviction occurred during a state of emergency and caused only limited deprivation.
This case never reached the US Supreme Court.

What role does a governor play in the amendment process?
In the case of state governments wanting to make an amendment to the state constitution, a governor has the ability to pass the amendment or veto the amendment. The amendment bill must first be passed in the state congress.
Jury trial in civil cases fall under what constitution amendment?
The Seventh, but that particular Amendment is not binding on the states. A state could set up a system where you get no jury trial in a civil case. That is because the Seventh Amendment has never been incorporated within the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment - in other words, the right to a jury in a civil case has never been held by the Supreme Court of the United States to be a right that is so fundamental as to be indispensable to the concept of ordered liberty. Other amendments that have not been incorporated (that is, compelling the states to enforce them) are the right to a grand jury (Fifth Amendment), and the right not to have troops quartered in your house (Third Amendment).

Carey, 677 F.2d 957 (2d.c. 1982).The US Supreme Court has not granted certiorari on a Third Amendment case to date.For more information, see Related Questions, below.

Did US soldiers occupy civilian homes in New York in violation of the 3rd amendment?
Yes, though not in a customary sense. There were prison guards who were provided apartments as part of their compensation package. When they went on strike, some members of the National Guard were moved in to guard the place. Suit was brought, as they were put into the guard's homes. Engblom v Carey was the case, and it was found in favor of the prison guards.
What if your son is home from the military but won't get his own place can you invoke your 3rd Amendment rights?
No, because he hasn't been assigned to be quartered there by the military or our government. You have to do the regular eviction, such as would be done with anyone. Also, in almost 250 years, the only credible third amendment case was Engbloom v Carey in 1982. And it doesn't apply in your case.

What Amendment does not apply to the states?
The US Supreme Court has incorporated most of the Bill of Rights to the States via the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses. The Second Amendment was applied most recently as a result of McDonald v. City of Chicago, (2010).The Amendments that remain completely unincorporated are the Third Amendment (except in the Second Circuit, due to the decision in Engblom v. Carey, 677 F.2d 957 (1982) and the Seventh Amendment.The Fifth Amendment right to indictment by Grand Jury is unincorporated because all states have implemented procedures to ensure due process during the indictment phase (whether by Grand Jury or other means).The Eighth Amendment protection against excessive bail or excessive fines is likewise not incorporated because the only challenge to this Clause presented to the US Supreme Court was rendered moot by the defendant's conviction before the Court could review the case. Generally, state laws and procedural due process provide adequate protection without incorporation.While the Ninth and Tenth Amendments are technically part of the Bill of Rights, they are non-triable and not subject to the incorporation process.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
