Eugene Dingle v. Leslie Armstrong, Individually and as Guardian ad Litem of Dorchester County Family Court, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, No. 24-2080 · judgment March 3, 2025
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Questions presented
-
Whether the Rooker-Feldman doctrine bars federal courts from reviewing state family court decisions where the petitioner alleges egregious violations of constitutional rights, and circuits are split on whether such claims may proceed.
-
Whether due process and equal protection require meaningful notice and an opportunity to be heard before deprivation of fundamental parental rights and imposition of support orders, where circuit authority is divided and lower courts inconsistently apply controlling precedent.
