Notice of final judgments
Liddiard v. Bank of America
In brief
- Where it stands
- Dismissed
Petition denied.
- What it’s about
- Philip Liddiard asked the Supreme Court to review whether Utah courts could treat filings made before a judgment as notice of that judgment, reject as late his challenge to a judgment he says lacked proper notice, and affirm without addressing that claim.
- Who it affects
- The denial ends Liddiard's request for Supreme Court review but does not resolve his claim that the judgment lacked constitutionally sufficient notice.
Summary: written with AI from the case record.
What it's about
The Court refused to hear the case (denied review), so it did not decide those questions.
Liddiard also questioned whether an appeals court could affirm the judgment without addressing his due-process claim.
Question presented
1. Whether the Due Process Clause permits a state court to rely on constructive notice from pre-judgment filings as notice of a final judgment, where state procedural rules require notice of a judgment once entered? 2. Whether the Due Process Clause permits a state court to deny relief as untimely under Rule 60(c) from a judgment alleged to be void for lack of constitutionally sufficient notice, where the absence of notice caused the delay in seeking relief? 3. Whether the Due Process Clause permits an appellate court to affirm a judgment without addressing a claim that the judgment is void for lack of Due Process?
