Question presented
Q. Whether a due process violation under the 14th Amendment exists when a State Supreme Court refuses to permit the docketing of a late notice of appeal filed under relevant rules allowing for enlargement of any court timeframe for good cause (W.Va. Rule of Appellate Procedure 39) where the same is requested because Petitioner was never notified that the relevant pleadings had been adjudicated and where Petitioner was not provided adequate notice or an opportunity to be heard at said adjudication.
