Pay Your Gas Bill!!!

The Crafts' home was supplied with gas by the city gas company. Because of some misunderstanding, the gas company believed that the Crafts were delinquent in pay their gas bill. The gas company had an informal complaint procedure for discussing such matters, but the Crafts had never been informed that such a procedure was available. The gas company notified the Crafts that they were delinquent and that the company was shutting off the gas. The Crafts brought an action to enjoin the gas company from doing so on the theory that a termination without any hearing was a denial of due process. The lower courts held that the interest of the Crafts in receiving gas was not a property interest protected by the due process clause and that the procedures the gas company followed satified the requirements of due process. The Crafts appealed.

After summarizing the case in the first paragraph, be sure to address the following:

• In which amendment to the Constitution is the due process clause?
• What does the due process clause state?
• Were the Crafts correct in contending that they have been denied due process of law?Why or why not? (conclusion paragraph)
