Connecticut v. Doehr, No. 90-143 (1991), was a recent case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that a state statute that authorizes prejudgment attachment of real estate without prior notice or hearing, without a showing of extraordinary circumstances, and without a requirement that the person seeking the attachment post a bond, does not satisfy the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.^{[citation needed]}
