What it's about
The petition is pending, and its conference listing does not mean the Court has agreed to hear it.
The petition invokes constitutional limits on state power, including fair-process protections and rules for interstate commerce.
Question presented
Whether the territorial limits on state courts’ power embodied in the Due Process Clause, the Commerce Clause, and principles of federalism prohibit a state-court receiver from controlling the litigation decisions and other internal affairs of an out-of-state corporation when the receiver has not been recognized in the corporation’s place of incorporation.
What happens next
The petition is listed for the Court’s Nov. 6, 2026 conference, but that is not a grant or a promised decision date. The next step is for the Court to decide whether to hear the case.
