Cathleen Perez, et vir v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association

Paid petition · Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division, No. A-002293-22 · judgment April 7, 2025


Certiorari denied · October 5, 2026
Pre-decision estimate: 0% cert probability

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

Question presented

Whether a state appellate court’s unexplained refusal to reinstate a timely first appeal as of right from a fi­ nal foreclosure judgment and related additional-sums order, after appellants substantially cured nonjurisdictional briefing and appendix deficiencies and invoked the court’s own procedure to accept the filing as submit­ ted, constitutes an adequate state procedural ground and comports with the Due Process Clause when it permanently forecloses appellate review of orders af­ fecting ownership, possession, and monetary liability on a home.
