Dianne Michele Carter v. April Maryam Kaiser, et al.

Whether the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment permits a state court to dismiss a litigant’s case on procedural grounds without affording the litigant any opportunity to respond to the asserted defect.

Whether due process is satisfied when a state court enters a procedural dismissal without providing any explanation for its ruling, thereby preventing the litigant and reviewing courts from understanding or evaluating the basis for the judgment.

Whether unexplained state-court dismissals that deny both participation and transparency present a federal question reviewable by this Court when no state court has issued a reasoned decision.
