“[W]hen notice is a person’s due, process which is a mere
gesture is not due process.” Mullane, 339 U.S. at 314. To be
constitutionally adequate, notice must be “reasonably
calculated, under all the circumstances, to apprise interested
parties . . . with due regard for the practicalities and
particularities of the case[.]” Id. at 314. The means employed
must be “reasonably certain” to “actually inform” the party,
id., and in choosing the means, one must take account of the
“capacities and circumstances” of the parties to whom the
notice is addressed, Goldberg, 397 U.S. at 268–69; Memphis
Light, Gas & Water Division v. Craft, 436 U.S. 1, 14 n.15
(1978).
