How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that “the City had sufficient cause to take prompt action to address the security infractions” at the gun store
  • holding that plaintiff was deprived of due process when her business license was suspended for 58 days; post-deprivation hearing was not meaningful where suspension resulted in plaintiff’s business being unable to operate for about two months
  • noting that “a person does not have a protected interest in a possible future business license” (alteration and internal quotation marks omitted)
  • stating that due process requires notice and opportunity to be heard “at a meaningful time and in a meaningful manner” (internal quotation marks omitted)
  • noting that “a person does not have a protected interest in a possible future business license” because it 4 “involves a purely speculative property interest” (alteration omitted) citation omitted
  • holding warrantless search authority created by section 4-06(a)(3) did not violate the Fourth Amendment because \an effective inspection of a gun dealer's premises requires that searches be unannounced in order to discover potential security infractions\
