Roberta Golden, et vir v. George Peterson

Paid petition · Appeals Court of Massachusetts, No. 16-P-1258 · judgment March 6, 2018

Certiorari denied · December 3, 2018
Pre-decision estimate: 0% cert probability

Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate: the model weighted this down for no court below (an original writ).

Question presented

Were Petitioners denied due process when the state refused to allow Petitioners to have a hearing on the nature of the illegality and instead conflated equitable principles with legal mandates to preclude any hearing. The result is the enforcement of an illegal contract involving a fraudulent mortgage on the subject real property and the pending loss of the property in a foreclosure sale.
