Stacy Gene Hall v. Buddy Myotte, et al.

Procedural Due Process I Rule 60(b) Jurisdiction Whether the Due Process Clause pennits a lower court to refuse to consider a Rule 60(b) motion because a prior notice of appeal divests jurisdiction, when the motion alleges evidence suppression vital to a § 1983 claim and the appellate court declines remand.

Evidence Withholding I Due Process Whether the State may withhold essential witness-identifying information in a § 1983 action without individualized judicial balancing or access to counsel.

Delay and Fundamental Fairness Whether a decade-long delay in adjudicating a prisoner's § 1983 claim, during which the State withheld essential evidence, violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee of fundamental fairness.

Meaningful Access to Courts Whether denying access to essential witnesses, while withholding their identities and contact information, constitutes denial of meaningful access to courts. Stacy Hall v. Myotte, Fode, Beason 1 December 9,2025
