Questions presented

  1. Whether the court denied the petitioner due process of law when it counted the time it mailed a decision and order in this matter against the time In which to reinstate a case when the decision and final order was mailed to an incorrect address, returned to the court, and petitioner only discovered that the decision and order was issued after checking the record electronically when she failed to receive actual and or constructive notice of the decision and her actual address was a matter of record.

  2. Whether the petitioner was denied due process of law when it failed to allow petitioner to reinstate her case when the court mailed the final decision and order to a northwest address Instead of petitioner's northeast address and failed to allow petitioner to reinstate her complaint based on inadvertence by the clerk of the court, although petitioner's correct address was a matter of record. -2-
