The following excerpt is from Escondido Imports, Inc. v. Department of Motor Vehicles, 145 Cal.App.3d 834, 193 Cal.Rptr. 772 (Cal. App. 1983):
We are taught in Mathews v. Eldridge, supra, 424 U.S. 319, 96 S.Ct. 893, 47 L.Ed.2d 18, that identification of the specific dictates of due process generally requires consideration of three distinct factors:
"First, the private interest that will be affected by the official action; second, the risk of an erroneous deprivation of such interest through the procedures used, and the probable value, if any, of additional or substitute procedural safeguards; and finally, the Government's interest, including the function involved and the fiscal and administrative burdens that the additional or substitute procedural requirement would entail. See e.g., Goldberg v. Kelly, supra [397 U.S. 254], at 263-271 [90 S.Ct. 1011, 1018-1022, 25 L.Ed.2d 287]." (424 U.S. 319, at p. 335, 96 S.Ct. 893, 903, 47 L.Ed.2d 18.)
