Mrs. Agnes Cotton TURNER and Mrs. Alene Moore, Individually and on Behalf of All Other Persons Similarly Situated, Plaintiffs-Appellants, v. COLONIAL FINANCE CORPORATION Et Al., Defendants-Appellees
Opinion
PER CURIAM:
This appeal involves the constitutionality of a Mississippi replevin statute that did not provide for notice and a hearing before seizure of the debtor-possessor’s property. The case is controlled by two significant decisions of the United States Supreme Court: Lynch v. Household Finance Corporation, 1972, 405 U.S. 538 , 92 S.Ct. 1113 , 31 L.Ed.2d 424 and Fuentes v. Shevin, 1972, 407 U.S. 67 , 92 S.Ct. 1983 , 32 L.Ed.2d 556 . The appellants’ motion for a summary reversal is hereby granted. The case is remanded to the district court, sitting as a single judge, to conduct a hearing and render judgment consistent with the Supreme Court’s decision in Lynch and Fuentes.
