Sheila Hallman-Warner, Petitioner v. Bluefield State College Board of Governors

1. Whether the Fourteenth Amendment permits a state supreme court to affirm enforcement of a settlement agreement while declining to address properly raised federal constitutional claims challenging retaliation, fraud, and deprivation of due process. 2. Whether due process is violated when a state court refuses to consider newly obtained forensic evidence of alleged fraud in the execution of a settlement agreement. 3. Whether disabled pro se litigants are denied meaningful access to the courts when state courts fail to compel evidence, and fail to address constitutional claims. 4. Whether enforcement of a settlement agreement under state contract law principles may bar consideration of preserved federal constitutional claims where the petitioner alleges coercion arising from retaliatory governmental conduct.
