Does procedural due process protect against mistaken or unjustified deprivation of a right?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Singh v. Cissna, Case No. 1:18-cv-00782-SKO (E.D. Cal. 2019):

Thus, "[w]hereas substantive due process protects against government actions which deprive citizens of certain rights, regardless of the unfairness of procedures used, procedural due process protects citizens not from the deprivation itself, but only the mistaken or unjustified deprivation of the asserted right." Boyal, 2011 WL 864618, at *4 (citing Zinermon v. Burch, 494 U.S. 113, 125 (1990)).
