Rachael Eubanks, et al. v. Dennis O'Connor
1. Where the State recovers abandoned property
and later returns that property or its equivalent value
to the former owner, does the former owner retain a
constitutional right to accrued interest in that abandoned property?
2. Where neither this Court nor the Sixth Circuit
had held that a former owner has a constitutional
right to accrued interest on abandoned property, and
two circuits and many state courts had held that a former owner lacks such a right, should the Sixth Circuit
have affirmed the grant of qualified immunity where
the State returned the value of abandoned property to
the former owner without interest?
Does the former owner retain a constitutional right to accrued interest on abandoned property returned by the State?
