In the case of Weber v. Rogan, 1902, the United States Supreme Court dealt with a dispute over land ownership in California. The plaintiff, Weber, claimed that he had purchased a piece of property from one Mr. Pioche back in 1863 and subsequently sold it to another party who later defaulted on their payments leading to repossession by Weber. However, during this time period (1870-1891), taxes were not paid on the property and it was sold for tax delinquency to Rogan who then sought possession of said land. The court ruled against Weber stating that his claim lacked validity as there was no record or evidence proving his original purchase from Pioche nor any documentation showing transfer or sale to another party before repossession due to defaulting payment terms. Furthermore, even if such proof existed but wasn't recorded according to law at the time when required (within one year after execution), it would still be considered void against any subsequent purchaser like Rogan for valuable consideration without notice thereof. Therefore based on these findings and interpretations of existing laws regarding real estate transactions and taxation procedures at that time; Justice Peckham delivered an opinion affirming judgment favoring defendant - Rogan.

The dissenting opinion in the Weber v. Rogan case argued that the majority's decision to uphold a state law allowing for property seizure without due process was unconstitutional. The dissent emphasized that this ruling violated the Fourteenth Amendment, which guarantees every citizen equal protection under the law and prohibits states from depriving any person of life, liberty or property without due process. They contended that seizing someone's property based on an unproven debt claim is inherently unjust and undermines fundamental principles of fairness and justice enshrined in American constitutional law. Furthermore, they disagreed with the majority’s interpretation of “due process,” arguing it should include both notice and opportunity to be heard before deprivation occurs – elements absent in this case.
