Rayon Payne v. Eric Parke LaRue, II, et al.

IFP petition · Supreme Court of Florida, No. SC2025-0317 · judgment April 15, 2025


Certiorari denied · December 8, 2025

Question presented

One, whether the Florida Supreme Court’s refusal to address federal constitutional issues presented in an original All Writs Petition violates the Supremacy Clause. Two, whether a state court violates due process by sua sponte recharacterizing a petition without notice or opportunity to be heard. And three, whether a justice’s failure to recuse despite a direct conflict, combined with unsigned participation by other justices, undermines the integrity of the court’s ruling in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment.
