Attorneys 1: ON BRIEF: Philip L. Ellison, OUTSIDE LEGAL COUNSEL PLC, Hemlock, Michigan, for Appellant.

Attorneys 2: ON BRIEF: James A. Ziehmer, Brian K. McLaughlin, B. Thomas Golden, OFFICE OF THE MICHIGAN ATTORNEY GENERAL, Lansing, Michigan, for Appellees.

Judge(s): GRIFFIN, THAPAR, and HERMANDORFER, Circuit Judges

Court Appealed: United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan at Bay City

THAPAR, Circuit Judge. Brigitte Hendershot alleges that Michigan currently holds between $200 and $600 that belongs to her. When she asks for her money back, she claims Michigan will return it without interest—a failure she says effectuates an unconstitutional taking. Hendershot has standing to make this claim. But we can’t decide more on this record, so we reverse and remand.
