Heading: Revocation of Liquor License

Text: If the Defendants had revoked Plaintiffs’ lawfully transferred liquor license with no hearing whatsoever, Plaintiffs would certainly have a colorable procedural due process claim. However, the Defendants did not revoke any such license. The Committee voted to recommend that NIPP’s liquor license be transferred to ROT, and the City Commission agreed, but the MLCC never actually transferred the license. The MLCC is in fact the only body that has the power to effectuate a transfer; its failure to act on the recommendation of the Committee and City Commission was not the equivalent of a revocation of the license, and, in any event, was not attributable to the Defendants. None of the Plaintiffs ever had a liquor license that could be revoked.
