Haskell v. Department of Agriculture
United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit
930 F.2d 816 (1991)
- Written by Sara Rhee, JD
Facts
William C. Haskell, Jr. (plaintiff) was the owner of Haskell Brothers Grocery. The United States Department of Agriculture (Secretary) (defendant) found the grocery in violation of Food and Nutrition Service regulations and disqualified the grocery from participating in the food stamp program. Haskell sought review of the Secretary’s decision. The United States District Court for the District of Kansas granted summary judgment in favor of the Secretary. Haskell appealed, arguing he was deprived of adequate procedural due process during the administrative proceedings because he was not afforded an evidentiary hearing.
