Question presented
Whether a state court judgment is void ab initio under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment where the court's own mandatory rule (Del. Ct. Ch. R. 17(b)(3)) required the appointment of a guardian ad litem for a person without capacity, the court failed to do so, and subsequent forensic evidence establishes the litigant lacked the cognitive capacity to participate. n IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES < ■ 5i
