4462 REVIEW DENIED A contract between a foster care provider and a county, the terms of which permit the county to suspend referrals if, in its sole discretion, it determines deficiencies pose a health or safety risk to any child, and permit the county to terminate for convenience when deemed in its best interests to do so, does not create a constitutionally protected property interest, and termination without notice or an opportunity to be heard does not violate due process or give rise to a claim under the federal Civil Rights Act (i.e., a 1983 claim).CitationBENN v COUNTY OF LA (Do Not Refer) 150 CA4 478 [See: 42 USC 1983, 671; Blessing v Freestone 520 US 329]
