- What it's about
This case involves a petition for a writ of certiorari filed by Davis against the Bank of N.Y. Mellon Corp. following a decision by the Court of Civil Appeals of Alabama.
Question presented
1. Whether the lower court erred in dismissing the Petitioner's complaint for lack of standing under Article III of the United States Constitution, where the Petitioner alleged a concrete and particularized injury in fact resulting from the Respondent's fraudulent foreclosure actions? 2. Whether the lower court's application of the Rooker-Feldman doctrine to bar the Petitioner's federal claims was improper, given that the Petitioner sought damages for independent tortious conduct occurring during the state court foreclosure proceedings? 3. Whether the lower court violated the Petitioner's due process rights under the Fourteenth Amendment by failing to provide a full and fair opportunity to litigate the claims of fraud and lack of jurisdiction in the underlying state court action?
