John Anderson v. The University of Iowa, et al.

IFP petition · Supreme Court of Iowa, No. 20-1342 · judgment December 30, 2020


Certiorari denied · October 4, 2021

Questions presented

  1. Is a Notice of Appeal, although with the trial courts designation, but filed with the Appellate Court automatic grounds for dismissal?

  2. If there are Tolling Statutes regarding a Notice Appeal, and the filer has a disability, does this alleviate the oversight.

  3. Is due process/14th Amendment abused by in this incidence an overreliance on procedure vs content?

  4. If the case is a First Amendment case relegating it to strict scrutiny, shouldn't this imply at least giving a mentioned of tolling?

  5. If COVID is raging at the time that the late-Supreme Court Decision Making by Harold Specht, NOA is due, doesn't external circumstances with a shown desire to follow the letter of the law show an averment?

  6. The "late" Notice was filed within the 30 day mark but with the wrong court. Another one was filed with the right court but past the 30 day mark, Isn't horseshoes better than a packing up and taking the game home a little too much emphasis on procedure on the Appellate Courts part? With ail due respect.
