County of Sacramento v. Lewis
green
2 sentences2018The Court devised a "culpability spectrum" and explained that "the *436 Constitution does not guarantee due care on the part of state officials; liability for negligently inflicted harm is categorically beneath the threshold of constitutional due process," while "behavior at the other end of the culpability spectrum ... would most probably support a substantive due process claim; conduct intended to injure in some way unjustifiable by any government interest is the sort of official action most likely to rise to the conscience-shocking level." Id. 2018However, not all conduct falls neatly on one end of the spectrum or the other, and conduct within the "middle range ... something more than negligence but less than intentional conduct.... may be actionable under the Fourteenth Amendment."

Moreno v. STATE, DEPT. OF REVENUE & TAX
green
2 sentences2017This Court further recognized that these cases do “not consider the character of the alleged life, liberty, or property interest affected” and “might be interpreted to inject a strict judicial scrutiny standard of review into the substantive due process analysis every time a litigant can locate a conclusive statutory presumption.” Id. 2017The Court went on to comment that such an “approach would wreak havoc with traditional due process and equal protection anal-yses which focus first on the asserted life, liberty, or property entitlement involved or an alleged invidious discrimination against a discrete minority, or infringement of a fundamental constitutional right.” Id. [¶36] This Court further explained that the United States Supreme Court has since backed away from a per se application of the irrebuttable presumption doctrine in favor of the traditional substantive due process analysis. | 1 | 2017–2017 |
