Supreme Court of New Jersey

David Rivkin, Edward Rivkin, and Judith Rivkin, T/A Galaxy Manor, a New Jersey Partnership, Plaintiffs-Appellants…

February 29, 1996143 N.J. 352

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that the Rivkins could not recover under 42 U.S.C. §1983 because the State provided a plain, adequate, and timely post‑deprivation remedy and the board member's bias did not rise to a substantive due process violation. The Court also concluded that the alleged conduct was procedural, not substantive, due process, and that the state remedy was sufficient despite not providing attorney's fees.
