How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that Chicago’s system, which-provided only one level of administrative hearing before appeal to the state courts, was sufficient
  • stating that even when \an administrative or adjudicative body derives a financial benefit from fines or penalties that it imposes is not in general a violation of due process\
  • noting that the decision addresses litigants who “bypass the appellate remedy that the state has provided in its own courts by filing an action in federal district court instead”
  • finding less process was due where maximum possible penalty for parking violation was \only $100\
  • rejecting due process challenge to parking ticket re‐ gime because it allowed for administrative and judicial re‐ view
  • finding Rooker-Feldman doctrine did not apply to a city’s administrative decision to adopt new procedures for adjudication of parking violations
