Ulmer G. Wilson v. the City of New Orleans

SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA 1985.LA.1130 On Writ of Certiorari to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeal DECISION OF THE COURT DELIVERED BY THE HONORABLE JUDGE DENNIS
DENNIS, Justice The issue in this case is whether the Due Process Clauses of the United States and Louisiana Constitutions
that a city's selection of vehicles to be immobilized for excessive parking tickets be approved by a neutral disinterested
decision maker, and that prior to final issuance of an order to "boot" a vehicle, its owner be afforded notice with a summary
of the adverse evidence and an opportunity to make an informal statement to a deciding officer regarding whether proper grounds
exist for booting his vehicle.
