Benoit v. Fayram

How courts have described this case

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

• “Even when required by statute or ordinance, purely procedural rules of state and local law give rise to constitutionally protected interests only when the mandated procedure contains within it a substantive liberty or property interest.”
• “For example, a government promise that an employee can be fired only for good cause creates a substantive property right in secure employment, whether or not the government provides procedures to enforce that right.” (citing Swarthout v.562 U.S. 216, 221–22 (2011))
• “Procedural due process does not protect every conceivable legal interest.”
