Federal 7th Circuit Court
Civil Court
Due Process
Plaintiff, a towing company, filed a lawsuit against the defendant county after the county removed the plaintiff from a list of towing businesses that were available on a rotating basis to recover vehicles on public roads. Plaintiff alleged that the defendant violated its procedural due process rights. The district court dismissed the complaint by finding that it did not plausibly allege that it had a protected property interest in a spot on the county’s towing rotation list. The Seventh Circuit agreed and affirmed. (ST. EVE and PRYOR, concurring)
