Patsy Talley v. Dale R. Folwell, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, No. 24-1215 · judgment April 4, 2025
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
Whether the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in a published opinion has ignored decades of law establishing the right to pre-deprivation due process in all but the most emergent circumstances allowing the North Carolina State Treasurer to deprive Petitioner and others similarly situated overpaid through no fault of their own to be deprived of property without any procedural due process while opining cavalierly “there is no such thing as a free lunch.”
