- What it's about
reVamped LLC challenged the City of Pipestone’s closure of its business, alleging that the city provided no meaningful way to appeal and that the closure took property without just compensation. The dismissed petition asked whether those allegations support a federal due-process and Takings Clause claim without requiring the business to pursue state remedies first.
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.
