Fair hearings over property

1. Whether the Fourteenth Amendment permits a state appellate court to affirm a judgment depriving a litigant of property and impose procedural forfeitures based on materially conflicting official records, where the litigant timely requested settlement and correction of the record but no court determined which version accurately reflected what was filed, heard, or decided. 2. Whether the Fourteenth Amendment permits a state court to resolve disputed, outcome-determinative facts and order final distribution of property through findings first announced after an argument-only hearing, where no testimony was taken, the court muted the affected party during opposing counsel ’ s factual presentation, refused her request to rebut those assertions one by one with identified evidence, and entered final judgment without addressing her timely, evidence-supported objections to those findings.
