Mohammad Reza Assadi v. Randolph N. Osherow, Chapter 7 Trustee

Whether Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 43(b) — and Article III permit a federal appellate court to enter judgment in the name of a Chapter 7 trustee who had been discharged months earlier, without substitution or notice during pending appeal. Whether due process is violated when courts treat electronic docket entries as sufficient notice to non-ECF participants, allowing dispositive orders — including a Chapter 7 trustee’s discharge — to issue without actual notice.
