143415P.pdf   04/19/2016  Eric Wong  v.  Minnesota DHS
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-3415
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Wollman and Beam, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Civil rights. Because Wong served the defendants with a notice of appeal less than 30 days after the Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Human Services entered an order on his benefits application, and because no undue delay accompanied his initial filing with the district court, the appeal was timely, and the district court erred in dismissing his appeal on this basis; Rooker-Feldman doctrine did not apply and did not bar review of the state agency decision; Minn. Rev. Stat. Section 256.045 which contemplated only state court review of the benefits decision did not bar the federal courts from exercising supplemental jurisdiction over the matter; the district court's decision dismissing the supplemental state-law claim is vacated and the matter is remanded for further consideration; because the state agency's decision on benefits was not final, the district court erred in finding Wong's ADA and Rehabilitation Act claims were precluded; Wong's complaint failed to state a claim for violation of his due process rights as the state's procedures for review satisfied the minimum requirements of the Due Process Clause; since Wong's equal protection claim under Section 1983 is predicated on the same facts as his ADA and Rehabilitation Act claims, the district court did not err in dismissing the Section 1983 claim on the ground that those statutes provided a comprehensive enforcement mechanism. Judge Beam, concurring in part and dissenting in part.
