Supreme Court of Connecticut
Shannon v. Commissioner of Housing
August 2, 2016
Summary
Justice Espinosa, dissenting, would have affirmed the dismissal of the plaintiff's administrative appeal. She would have concluded that the regulation's plain language authorized the Commissioner to prospectively terminate rental assistance when a participant was subject to a sex-offender registration requirement, and that applying the regulation based on a prior conviction was not impermissibly retroactive. She also would have rejected the plaintiff's due-process claim because he received notice and a hearing.
