Question presented

Can the Constitutional right to due process or "adequate notice and a hearing," as found by this Court in Jones v. Flowers, 547 U.S. 220, 235 (2006) - that government notice should also be served by "regular mail" - be simply ignored by the Courts below? Can an attorney's right to access a State Supreme Court, to raise the above "Constitutional due process notice failure," as held by this Court in Middlesex County Ethics Comm. v. Bar Assn., 457 U.S. 423, 431-432 (1982) be simply ignored by the - Courts below? Can a Federal District Court simply ignore this Court's holding in Exxon Mobil v. Saudi Basic Industries Corp., 125 S. Ct. 1517, 1521- 22 (2005), and rule that the Rooker-Feldman Doctrine applied, when there was no "state court judgment"? Can the Third Circuit Court of Appeals try to ameliorate the District Court's decision by simply - ruling that State Disciplinary Review Board was a "court of law"?
