John B. Freitas v. Community Fund LLC
IFP petition · Court of Appeal of California, First Appellate District, No. A172021 · judgment October 23, 2025
Questions presented
-
Whether a state court violates the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment when it exercises jurisdiction over a homeowner without first determining that the party invoking the court’s power has established a valid legal interest in the property and a lawful basis to foreclose.
-
Whether the Constitution permits state courts to enforce private-party claims through procedures that bypass the threshold requirements of jurisdiction, standing, and proof of ownership—creating a national pattern in which homeowners may be deprived of property without any adjudication of the party’s legal authority to take it.
