Postal Service Due Process Act

Summary

Postal Service Due Process Act - Directs a U.S. district court to enter a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction directing the detention of a defendant's incoming mail by the postmaster pending conclusion of statutory proceedings concerning the defendant's use of the mail through false representation or lotteries to obtain or distribute money, or for obtaining real or personal property, only upon application therefor by the Postal Service and upon a showing that: (1) the Postal Service is likely to prevail in such proceedings; (2) the public would suffer irreparable harm if the application were not granted; (3) no adequate remedy at law exists; and (4) the harm that would be caused to the public by not granting the application exceeds the harm that would be caused to the defendant by granting it.
