Lee W. Yeager v. FirstEnergy Generation Corporation
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, No. 20-4042, 20-4043 · judgment June 22, 2021
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
Whether a federal district court’s outright dismissal of a stayed action without having first lifted that stay, to permit ruling on plaintiff’s pending motion to amend his pleading to substitute the proper party defendant, offends the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause by effectively denying plaintiff the right to redress his grievance via some effective legal procedure that includes notice and the opportunity to be heard.
