Homer P. Jordan, IV v. Alice Juneal Jordan

Whether the Due Process Clause permits a state court to convert a hearing noticed for motions into a final divorce adjudication and enter a comprehensive final judgment in a party’s absence, where the notice did not identify a final trial and the court acknowledged at the outset that “the final” was not among the matters noticed.

Whether Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, as applied to state judicial services under Tennessee v. Lane, 541 U.S. 509 (2004), requires meaningful consideration of a pending disability-related request for continuance or accommodation before a court treats the request as abandoned and proceeds to final, sanctions-based relief against the absent requester.
