TRM, Inc. v. United States

KRAVITCH, Circuit Judge:

This case arises out of the permanent disqualification of a grocery store from partic ipation in the federal food stamp program because two of the store’s employees allegedly accepted food stamps in exchange for cash. In a suit challenging the action, the district court granted summary judgment in favor of TRM, Inc., d/b/a Food Circle (“TRM”), and set aside the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service’s disqualification of the store, holding that TRM’s due process rights had been violated. We REVERSE and REMAND.
