Anwar A. Aalaam v. Movement Mortgage, LLC, et al.
IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, No. 25-1255 · judgment August 20, 2025
Questions presented
-
Whether an appellate court violates the Due Process Clause by affirming dismissal without analysis or explanation after acknowledging that material appellate briefing was omitted from the record and not considered prior to judgment, where the omitted materials contained unrebutted, well-pleaded claims supported by sworn factual allegations.
-
Whether due process is denied when a court of appeals resolves an appeal on an incomplete record and, after acknowledging that material filings were timely submitted, served, and omitted from the docket by clerical error, declines upon notice to vacate or reconsider its judgment.
-
Whether Rule 8 and Rule 12(b)(6) are misapplied in conflict with this Court’s precedents when courts dismiss pleaded claims by recharacterizing them as a theory the plaintiff did not assert, rather than accepting the pleaded facts as true.
-
Whether structural judicial error occurs when lower courts disregard controlling Supreme Court precedent, fail to apply equity and the required liberal construction to pro se pleadings, and affirm dismissal without addressing the claims or appellate questions presented for review.
