Culley v. Marshall

Culley v. Marshall, 601 U.S. 377 (2024), is a case decided by Supreme Court of the United States regarding the timing of post-seizure probable cause hearings under the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment.

[1] On February 17, 2019, Halima Tariffa Culley's son was arrested while driving his mother's car.

20 months later, Culley won summary judgment under Alabama's innocent-owner defense.

[2] Culley then filed a class-action lawsuit under the Ku Klux Klan Act, alleging that Alabama officials had violated her right to a post-deprivation hearing under the 8th and 14th Amendments to the Constitution.

The majority opinion, written by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, based its conclusion on two prior Supreme Court decisions, United States v. Von Neumann[6] and United States v.
