Shall no person be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law?

If the Fourteenth Amendment’s mandate is that local governments shall not “deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law,” why then did the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals rule that private property rights are not among the fundamental rights protected by the Due Process Clause? PLF is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to answer that question in Kentner v. City of Sanibel.
