All plaintiffs and interpleading defendants lost money in transactions with Spicer. All sought recovery from the license bond. The trial court allowed all claims against the bond except for the claims of Minneapolis Auto Auction, Alamo and Mid-State. 2 The trial court determined that these claims fell outside the protective scope of the bond as intended by Minn. Stat. § 168.27, subd. 24 (1986). We reverse.

Voettiner v. Commissioner of Education · 1985 1 citation

Roth, 408 U.S. at 577, 92 S.Ct. at 2709. Relying on Minnesota law, the court in Minneapolis Auto Parts Co. v. City of Minneapolis, 572 F.Supp. 389, 395 (D.Minn.1983), held that, prior to being issued, an applicant has no legitimate expectation of entitlement to a license or permit. Similarly, Voettiner has no claim of entitlement to an approval to teach Medical Office Procedures. See also State ex rel. Gopher Sales v. City of Austin, 246 Minn. 514, 75 N.W.2d 780 (1956) (no person can acquire a vested right to continue, when once licensed, in a business, trade or occupation which is subject to control and regulation under the proper exercise of a police power); State ex rel. Interstate Air-parts, Inc. v. Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Airports Commission, 223 Minn. 175, 187, 25 N.W.2d 718, 726 (1947) (“A license confers upon the licensee the right to engage in the licensed business only for the term specified in the license. A prior expired license * * * confers no rights upon the licensee * * * except in certain cases where by statute it entitles him to a renewal upon compliance with specified conditions.”). Compare Bird v. State, Department of Public Safety, 375 N.W.2d 36 (Minn.Ct.App.1985) (under Minn. Stat. § 168.27, subd. 13 (1984), a notice and hearing are required before a used motor vehicle license can be revoked and thus, for due process purposes, a used motor vehicle licensee has a claim of entitlement to an existing license for the period of its duration).
