estimated cert probability
(petition-stage, structural)

Well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.

Questions presented

  1. Whether the Due Process Clause permits a State to make an administrative remedy exclusive when the designated tribunal lacks authority to grant the prospective relief sought, leaving no state court able to adjudicate the claim.

  2. Whether a federal due-process objection to a state court's final foreclosure of all available remedies is timely under 28 U.S.C. § 1257 when the objection could not become complete until the state court of last resort denied rehearing.
