Rayon Payne v. Eric Parke LaRue, II, et al.
IFP petition · Supreme Court of Florida, No. SC2025-0317 · judgment April 15, 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.
