Johnson v. Paterson Housing Authority, 2019 WL 1439118, Civil Action No. 17-7514 (ES) (MAH) (unpublished) (D. N.J. Apr. 1, 2019) was a decision by the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey which found that a public housing authority violated a tenant's Fourteenth Amendment procedural due process rights by denying the tenant a hearing on the termination of her tenancy, after she complied with a written directive telling her she had the right to one if she requested it within seven days, which she did. The court barred the housing authority's motion to dismiss which argued that she had received a hearing on a demand for payment for payment of delinquent rent two years earlier, and that the statute of limitations for a Section 1983 cause of action for failure to grant a hearing was untimely because it came two years after the prior hearing.
