United States Tenth Circuit

As long as procedural due process standards are met and no unreasonable municipal actions are shown, a nuisance abatement action does not violate the Fourth Amendment. Because defendant removed the property from plaintiff's backyard under the authority of a nuisance ordinance, it is exempted from tort liability under the Oklahoma Governmental Torts and Claims Act.
