Flagg Bros., Inc. v. Brooks
Case Date: 05/05/1978
|
Flagg Bros., Inc. v. Brooks, 436 U.S. 149 (1978) was a case decided by the Supreme Court of the United States wherein the constitutionality of New York's Uniform Commercial Code provision, which allows a warehouse to enforce a lien upon repossessed goods by selling said goods, was challenged under the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court held that the state-allowed re-sale provision did not constitute state action, and thus, the plaintiff did not possess a colorable federal due process claim.
