Sanders v. City of San Diego

WIGGINS, Circuit Judge:

John Sanders (dba Golden Rule Pawn Brokerage) appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of the City of San Diego and Detective Mark Michel in this action brought under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985, and 1988. Sanders contends that the warrantless seizure of allegedly stolen property from his pawn shop and the police de*1425partment’s return of stolen property to its owner violated Sanders’ right to procedural due process. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we AFFIRM in part and REVERSE and REMAND in part.
