Description
This is an appeal from the district courts grant of summary judgment in favor of defendants. Griffeth v. Detrich, 448 F. Supp. 1137 (S.D.Cal.1978). The district court certified this suit as a class action in behalf of "all persons whose applications for General Relief benefits have been denied by the San Diego County Department of Public Welfare since August 25, 1976, or whose applications will be so denied in the future." Plaintiffs brought suit under 42 U.S.C. ร§ 1983 challenging the constitutionality of the Countys procedure for review of benefit applications. The district court held that an applicant does not have " "a property interest or "legitimate claim of entitlement to the desired aid." Id. at 1141. This court holds that they have and the case is remanded for determination of what process is due to protect that property interest.
