Ninth Circuit Reverses Lower Court Ruling on Due Process Grounds
The Los Angeles Police Department obtained a search warrant from the Los Angeles Superior Court and seized more than 400 firearms from Wayne Wright’s residence and storage unit in Ventura County in 2004. That set off a long-term legal dispute between Wright and the LAPD that resulted in a recent federal appeals court decision regarding law enforcement’s obligations before deciding to destroy seized firearms.
In
Wright v. Beck, handed down Dec. 1, the U.S. Ninth Court of Appeals reversed a lower court’s summary judgment ruling and found that a reasonable trier of fact could find that destruction of seized firearms without first providing notice to the owner is a violation of the U.S. Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment’s right to due process.
