Questions presented
-
The Due Process clause of the United States Constitution entitles a person to an impartial and disinterested tribunal in civil cases. This neutrality requirement in adjudicative proceedings safeguards two central concerns. First, it prevents an unjustified or mistaken deprivation of property. Second, it promotes participation and dialogue by litigants in the decision-making process. Did the Sixth Circuit Court of Appels affirm a judgment that violated the Petitioners fundamental rights by supporting an opinion that (I) repeatedly transgresses the applicable standard of review, and (II) prejudicially omit the Petitioners allegations and arguments?
-
Whether the unpublished appellate opinion used case law to redirect the interest of justice and render a decision that suggest bias, prejudice or favoritism should be allowed to stand unchanged?
