The following excerpt is from Stuart v. U.S. By and Through Dept. of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, 109 F.3d 1380 (9th Cir. 1997):
We consider three factors in determining whether the statute and regulation violate due process because they fail to require a hearing: (1) "the private interest that will be affected by the official action"; (2) "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 (3) "the Government's interest, including the function involved and the fiscal and administrative burdens that the additional or substitute procedural requirement would entail." Mathews v. Eldridge, 424 U.S. 319, 335, 96 S.Ct. 893, 903, 47 L.Ed.2d 18 (1976).
