Rashid Muhammad Abdullah v. City of Plant City, Florida, et al.

The questions presented for review are:

1. Whether the doctrine of collateral estoppel or the Double Jeopardy Clause precludes a municipality from re-litigating factual determinations resolved in the petitioner's favor during prior criminal and civil traffic proceedings when those determinations are central to a subsequent civil negligence action?

2. Whether repeated warrantless seizures and the final taking of a vehicle after multiple dismissals or acquittals raise a federal question under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments?

3. Whether a vehicle previously recognized by state courts as exempt under state law may be subjected to renewed seizures and a taking without implicating federal constitutional limits?

4. Whether continued withholding of a vehicle following dismissal or acquittal of all related charges, without a prompt post-seizure hearing, satisfies due process requirements?

5. Whether a state supreme court’s refusal to review an unelaborated per curiam affirmance prevents meaningful consideration of federal questions that were properly raised and preserved?

6. Whether a summary judgment order that provides no findings and does not address judicially noticed facts satisfies the minimum procedural protections required by the Due Process Clause? Petition for Writ of Certiorari: ii
