Question presented
I. Whether the court of original jurisdiction denied petitioner due process under the United States Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment? Whether a court of original jurisdiction is constitutionally required to state the bases of its determination. Without such a statement, it is impossible to determine what the court decided or why? a. Whether the court of original jurisdiction violates a petitioner’s due process right to adequate notice and an opportunity to be heard in opposition by issuing an unexplained decision and order making meaningful appellate review impossible? b. Whether the court of original jurisdiction violated petitioner’s due process rights by committing egregious errors of law in not citing cases or precedent in their decisions? II. Whether the state appellate process for a Writ of Error Coram Nobis for ineffective assistance of appellate counsel violates the petitioner’s state constitutional right to an appeal and petitioner’s federal due process right under the 14th Amendment? III. Whether appellate counsel for petitioner committed ineffective assistance of counsel by not raising strong and meritorious claims of ineffective assistance of counsel based on numerous prejudicial failures and omissions by trial counsel?
