from the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.
Question presented
1. When a government’s appeal process is illusory or non-existent to allow a party to challenge a government’s total closure of a business resulting in the loss or taking of property, and the government further impedes the process, implicating a Takings Clause claim, whether the illusory appeal process is a per se violation of procedural due process under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 requiring no need to exhaust state remedies before the claim becomes ripe for federal adjudication under this Court’s legal principle as explained in Knick v. Twp. of Scott, 588 U.S. 180, 185 (2019) and Patsy v. Board of Regents of State of Fla., 457 U.S. 496 (1982). 2. Whether the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment contains a categorical “police power” exception immunizing the government from providing just compensation.

Briefing
What it's about
reVamped LLC asks the Supreme Court to hear a dispute over a city action that allegedly shut down its business and caused the loss or taking of property. The petition says the available appeal process was illusory or non-existent and asks whether the Constitution requires compensation even when a government says it acted under its police power.
Argument
No oral argument is scheduled, and no Supreme Court decision is available yet. The petition for certiorari (the Court's decision to hear the case) asks the justices to review due process and Takings Clause questions arising from an alleged total business closure.
Impact
The case could affect how quickly business owners and property owners can get into federal court after a government shutdown or closure order. For example, it matters to an owner who says a city effectively closed a business but offered no real way to challenge that action.
What is at stake in reVamped v. City of Pipestone?
The petition asks whether a business can go straight to federal court when a city closure process is effectively unavailable. It also asks whether governments can avoid paying compensation by calling an action police power.
Who could be affected if the Court takes this case?
Business owners and property owners could be affected, especially when a local government shuts down operations and the owner says there was no real appeal path. Cities and other local governments could also face clearer limits.
What happens next in reVamped v. City of Pipestone?
The Supreme Court must decide whether to grant certiorari, which means agreeing to hear the case. If it does, briefing and oral argument would come later.
