General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Pearson v. Dodd, 429 U.S. 396 (1977)
Pearson v. Dodd No. 75-1318 Argued December 1, 1976 Decided January 12, 1977 429 U.S. 396
APPEAL FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF APPEALS
OF WEST VIRGINIA
Syllabus
Where, under West Virginia law, absolute title to appellant’s oil and gas interest in land had vested in the State at the expiration of the 18-month period after sale of the interest to the State for nonpayment of taxes, during which period appellant might have exercised but did not exercise her right to redeem, appellant has no constitutionally protected property or entitlement interest upon which she may base a challenge of constitutional deficiency in the notice provisions attending the State’s subsequent sale of the interest to appellee Dodd, and hence the appeal is dismissed for want of a properly presented federal question.
Appeal dismissed. Reported below: ___ W.Va. ___, 221 S. .2d 171.
