Does negligence constitute a due process violation?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Catanzaro v. Weiden, 140 F.3d 91, 1998 WL 122393 (2nd Cir. 1998):
1 This principle is consistent with the general proposition that mere negligence can not constitute a due process violation. See Daniels v. Williams, 474 U.S. 327, 332, 106 S.Ct. 662, 665 (1986) (noting that to hold that negligence could amount to a constitutional violation "would trivialize the centuries-old principle of due process of law").
