Question presented

Does the removal of a case from state to federal court, under allegations of fraudulent procedural conduct by the defendants and when the principal claims are fundamentally rooted in state law, violate established principles of federal question jurisdiction and due process by depriving the state court of the opportunity to adjudicate issues closely tied to state legal principles, particularly under the doctrines of Rooker-Feldman and claim-splitting? When a federal court dismisses a case based on procedural grounds without thoroughly addressing the substantive state law claims and jurisdictional issues, does it violate the procedural due process rights guaranteed under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments?
