US v. Dicter:
a. Doctor gave controlled substances by prescriptions to an addict for large sums of money.
b. He was convicted for distributing controlled substances and the jury (federal court) suspended his license. Def. claimed his license cannot be suspended b/c it is not property.
c. HELD: the state gave him a license–tangible property. Property is subject to suspension and the right to practice medicine is property, and thus can be suspended. Court dealt less with the licensing issue itself (which is governed by state law), and focuses more on the fact that the license is property.
