Leonardo DiCaprio's neighbor is charging him with an offensive foul, claiming the actor excavated the neighboring property without permission and damaged plants and hedges to build a basketball court at his home.
Legal papers filed last week in Superior Court in Los Angeles by Ronald and Joan Linclau said the construction weakened a hillside and left their deck and pool in danger of collapse.
The lawsuit seeks at least $250,000 in damages.

DiCaprio "failed to exercise ordinary care ... in making the excavations and failed to take reasonable precautions to sustain the adjoining land ... in its natural state," the suit says.
