Kevin M. Cardwell v. Office of the Indiana Attorney General, et al.

i. Whether a state procedural dismissal is an adequate ground to foreclose review of a preserved federal due-process claim when the state appellate court dismissed a civil appeal with prejudice after the petitioner had mailed corrected briefing and a motion for leave to file belatedly before dismissal, the papers were delayed in the United States mail, and the state courts made no finding of bad faith, abandonment, or prejudice to the opposing parties. z. Whether the Fourteenth Amendment permits a State, after expressly allowing an indigent pro se litigant's appeal to continue on specified Rule 60(B) issues, to terminate that appeal with prejudice for curable filing defects without considering a correction already in transit before dismissal, where the litigant continuously sought to comply and preserve merits review.
