What is the test for procedural due process in a civil action brought by a plaintiff against the state?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Martinez v. Phelps, Case No. 1:19-cv-00011-DAD-EPG (E.D. Cal. 2019):

Procedural due process requires, at a minimum, notice and an opportunity to be heard. Goss v. Lopez, 419 U.S. 565, 579 (1975). However, a due process claim is not cognizable when the deprivation concerns property and the state provides adequate post-deprivation remedies to protect a plaintiff's procedural due process rights. Hudson v. Palmer, 468 U.S. 517, 533 (1984) (holding that deprivations of property do not violate the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment if a meaningful post-deprivation remedy for the loss is available because "the state's action is not complete until and unless it provides or refuses to provide a suitable post-deprivation remedy").
