Questions presented

  1. Whether a state court’s destruction and suppression of exculpatory evidence used to enforce MCL § 552.27support obligations violates a litigant’s due-process rights under the Fourteenth Amendment and this Court’s holding in Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963), and Mooney v. Holohan, 294 U.S. 103 (1935).

  2. Whether a state court’s reliance on unsworn and knowingly false or contradictory testimony, despite a documented record to the contrary, violates the dueprocess guarantees recognized in Napue v. Illinois, 360 U.S. 264 (1959).

  3. Whether a state court’s refusal to correct a judgment procured through fraud on the court despite verified transcript evidence of judicial misconduct conflicts with this Court’s decision in Hazel-Atlas Glass Co. v. Hartford-Empire Co., 322 U.S. 238 (1944), and undermines the integrity of the judicial process.

  4. Whether the summary dismissal of verified constitutional claims, without findings or hearing, satisfies the procedural-due-process standards articulated in Mathews v. Eldridge, 424 U.S. 319 (1976), particularly where the petitioner was barred from further filings after exposing misconduct.
