Questions presented

  1. Whether a state official arbitrarily and capriciously violates substantive due process by rejecting a timely electronic filing merely because attached exhibits were filed in “landscape” rather than “portrait” format.

  2. Whether state court filing rules which fail to provide fair notice that electronic filings require the filing of exhibits in “portrait” rather than “landscape” format deprive civil litigants of their right to procedural due process.

  3. Whether a state statute which bars all claims following the confirmation of a judicial sale is preempted by the automatic stay provisions of the federal bankruptcy laws.
