Althea Miley v. Deborah J. Burns, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, No. 22-11512 · judgment July 11, 2023
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
Whether the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals; Northern District Court of Georgia; and the Georgia State Courts’ adherence to issue preclusion doctrines, departs from the Supreme Court’s accepted and usual course of judicial proceedings of res judicata and the well settled Supreme Court res judicata precedents, raising a question of whether the Eleventh Circuit’s and the lower courts’ processes are consistent with due process? Whether the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals; Northern District Court of Georgia; and the Georgia State Court’s operation of Rule 12(b)(6) decisions on res judicata; balanced against the goals of substantive and administrative efficiency; is a mechanism by which meritorious cases are disposed of in view of the relevant policies and mandate of the federal rules to determine actions on their merits; is in effect, denying litigants the opportunity to have their claims adjudicated on the evidences and facts, is a due process violation ?
