Corey Lea v. Sonny Perdue, Secretary of Agriculture

Is it a violation of the Due Process Clause and Equal Protection Clause of the Fifth Amendment for the United States Department of Agriculture to promulgate Rules and regulations to create a separate system for Black Farmers and other Social Disadvantaged Farmers (members of a protected class as defined by Congress in the 1991 Consolidated Farm Bill) to be denied a formal hearing on the merits before the administrative law judge, that includes a mini trial, complete with running records provided to the complainant and representatives, on pending administrative discrimination complaints as afforded to similarly situated White farmers? The petitioner believes the answer is yes. When a private lender or bank enters into a guaranteed contract with the Dept. of Agriculture, in which the affected Socially Disadvantaged Farmer is a third party, and the private lender or bank agrees to abide by all the rules and regulations, both current and future, that may include moratorium relief by an Act of Congress or codified by the agency, is the private lender or bank subject to the Administrative Procedures Act and exhaustion requirements; if the answer is yes, if the private lender or bank forecloses on real property or calls in loans when the Secretary of Agriculture was required to act by Acts of Congress and the authority to resolve all claims pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1480 in the 180 day period pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 706(1)(2) would the state court or district court judgment for foreclosure or any other adverse action be void?
