Pamela McKethan v. GSLS GA, LLC.
IFP petition · Court of Appeals of Georgia, No. A24A1444 · judgment March 14, 2025
Questions presented
-
Whether a state may uphold a foreclosure where all statutory foreclosure notices were returned undelivered and the foreclosing party had actual knowledge that notice failed, consistent with the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and this Court’s decisions in Mullane v. Central Hanover Bank & Trust Co., 339 U.S. 306 (1950), and Jones v. Flowers, 547 U.S. 220 (2006).
-
Whether a foreclosure judgment entered without any notice reasonably calculated to reach the homeowner is void under the Fourteenth Amendment.
-
Whether a state court may uphold a foreclosure based on a purported transfer of the Security Deed and power of sale executed by an entity that lacked legal authority, included inAppendixF-2 App. 16-19 and Appendix F-4App. 23-24, consistent with the Supremacy Clause.
-
Whether the doctrine of res judicata may bar a homeowner’s constitutional challenge to a foreclosure where notice failure and lender misconduct were concealed and could not have been litigated in the prior action, contrary to this Court’s precedents in Peralta v. Heights Medical Center, Inc., 485 U.S. 80 (1988), and Armstrong v. Manzo, 380 U.S. 545 (1965).
