What constitutes deprivation of property without due process of law?

Hazzard claims that the confiscation and retention of his property seized during the search constituted a deprivation of property without due process of law. However, intentional deprivations of property do not violate the Due Process Clause if adequate state post-deprivation remedies are available. See Hudson v. Palmer, 468 U.S. 517, 533 (1984). Because Hazzard could have filed a motion for return of his property before the state court judge who issued the warrant, an adequate post-deprivation remedy was available. Therefore, there was no violation of procedural due process. ³
