What it's about

from the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.

Question presented

1. Whether a public university and state collection agencies violate the Fourteenth Amendment when they terminate a fellowship and impose state debt without providing meaningful pre-deprivation process. 2. Whether the Eleventh Amendment bars prospective declaratory and injunctive relief under Ex parte Young where state officials are engaged in ongoing constitutional violations. 3. Whether a federal court may dismiss a pro se plaintiff’s due-process claims at the Rule 12(b)(6) stage by resolving disputed factual issues against the plaintiff without discovery. 4. Whether summary affirmance without addressing controlling Supreme Court precedent conflicts with this Court’s Due Process jurisprudence under Mathews v. Eldridge, Goss v. Lopez, and Ex parte Young.
