three-factor test in Wisconsin

2024In Santosky, the United States Supreme Court applied the three-factor analysis from Mathews v. Eldridge, 424 U.S. 319 (1976),17 to determine that factual findings of a parent's unfitness for parental termination decisions required a clear and convincing burden of proof.

2023In that case, the Court set 1 No. 2021AP102.rgb forth a three-factor test to determine the amount of process due: (1) "the private interest that will be affected by the official action"; (2) "the risk of an erroneous deprivation of such interest through the procedures used, and the probable value, if any, of additional or substitute procedural safeguards"; and (3) "the Government's interest, including the function involved and the fiscal and administrative burdens that the additional or substitute procedural requirement would entail." Mathews, 424 U.S. at 335 (citing Goldberg v. Kelly, 397 U.S

2010Regarding attenuation, the court applied the three-factor test from State v. Richter, 2000 WI 58, ¶¶ 46-54 , 235 Wis. 2d 524 , 612 N.W.2d 29 , and held that: (1) the time between the illegal entry and the search was significant; (2) there were meaningful and significant intervening circumstances; and (3) the police action did not rise to the level of conscious or flagrant misconduct that they sought to exploit.

2023In Loudermill, the Court merely applied the Mathews test to a specific set of facts, ultimately concluding both notice and a hearing were required before termination. 470 U.S. at 546 .

2011E-Z appealed and, in a published decision, the court of appeals reversed the judgment of the circuit court. 7 Applying the three-factor test set forth in Town of Burke v. City of Madison, 225 Wis. 2d 615, 625 , 593 N.W.2d 822 (Ct. App. 1999), the court of appeals concluded that (1) Wis. Stat. § 133.18 contained a specific statutory scheme for antitrust actions, 8 E-Z Roll Off, 325 Wis. 2d 423, ¶ 18 ; (2) applying the notice of claim requirements to antitrust actions brought pursuant to § 133.18 would hinder the legislature's preference for prompt resolution of antitrust claims, Id., ¶ 24; and

2011The Faucher court indicated that the language immediately prior to the adoption of the three-factor test, that "[b]ias may be inferred from surrounding facts and circumstances," was actually describing the process by which "actual" or "implied" bias is discovered. 227 Wis. 2d at 714 .
