Hegwood v. City of Eau Claire

Dist. Ct. did not err in granting defendants-city officials’ motion for summary judgment in action alleging that defendants violated due process rights of plaintiffs-owners of tavern when defendants revoked plaintiffs’ liquor license after conducting hearing that resulted in finding that plaintiffs maintained “disorderly house” based on several incidents in which plaintiffs’ employees were involved in physical confrontations with customers of tavern. Ct. rejected plaintiffs’ argument that Wisc. statute providing for said revocation was unconstitutionally vague as applied to plaintiffs’ tavern where record established pattern of violence and disruptive behavior that occurred at plaintiffs’ tavern over three-year period of time.
