Paid petition · Court of Appeal of California, Fourth Appellate District, Division One, No. D084679 · judgment December 24, 2025

Questions presented
-
Whether a state-court judgment rests on an adequate and independent state-law standing ground barring review under 28 U.S.C. § 1257 when the court denies relief on that ground yet proceeds to adjudicate and reject a federal Takings Clause claim on the merits.
-
Whether a government order that bars a landlord from recovering possession after the landlord’s legal right to exclude has accrued effects a per se physical taking under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.
-
Whether, consistent with the Just Compensation Clause, a government may, by invoking a publichealth emergency, impose uncompensated public burdens on a discrete class of property owners that, in fairness and justice, should be borne by the public as a whole.
