How courts have described this case

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

  • stating that statutes imposing penalties and fines may satisfy due process if such penalties or fines are subject to a “reasonable grounds” defense where the plaintiff had “sufficient cause” to challenge the statute (internal citation omitted)
  • finding plaintiff did not have a protected interest in its reputation, even where reputational damage purportedly led the market to “devalue[ ] its stock, brand, and credit rating”
  • “The first inquiry in every due process challenge is whether the plaintiff has been deprived of a protected interest in ‘liberty’ or ‘property.’”
  • “Central to this case, these two options — comply and seek reimbursement, or refuse to comply and wait for EPA to bring an enforcement or cost recovery action — are exclu- sive.”
  • “[T]he district court has authority to decide not to impose fines even if it concludes that a recipient ‘without sufficient cause, willfully violate[d], or fail[ed] or refuse[d] to comply with*' a UAO”
  • favorable ruling for plaintiff would not resolve the merits of the underlying claim
