Peters v. Cohen
Pending petition
Issues: (1) Whether the state controller of California's actions under color of the California Unclaimed Property Law violate the due process clause of the 14th Amendment because they deprive owners of their property without affording constitutionally adequate notice; and (2) whether the controller’s actions violate the takings clause of the Fifth Amendment because state employees and their commissioned private auditors seize, sell, and destroy private property without just compensation.
