Pamela B. Stuart v. Catherine S. Ryan, et al.

Whether the Takings Clause applies to the decisions of state courts, and, if so, under what circumstances may this Court review and remedy state judicial takings claims. What remedies are available to a private property owner whose established property rights under state law are extinguished by a state court by a decision that is contrary to established property law in that state? Whether the judicial decisions of the Florida state trial and appellate courts that contravened Petitioner's established property rights under Florida law in her permanent residence in Florida (a homestead protected from forced sale by the Florida Constitution), her one-third interest in her father's homestead which she acquired by inheritance, and a one-third interest in the personal property belonging to her deceased parents under the property laws and Constitution of the State of Florida constituted judicial takings in violation of the Takings Clause and the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution as applied to the States by the Fourteenth Amendment thus entitling her to just compensation by the State of Florida?
