What it's about

Bottlinger and others. The Court refused to hear the case (denied Perry’s petition) and did not decide whether his claims were correct.

Perry's request asked the Supreme Court to review a case from the Nebraska Court of Appeals.

Question presented

1. Whether courts violate due process by affirming summary judgment where disputed material facts are resolved against the nonmovant, contrary to this Court’s precedents. 2. Whether courts exceed the limits of judicial notice by relying on prior proceedings to resolve contested issues central to liability. 3. Whether due process is violated when courts exclude or disregard critical evidence and witnesses, then grant summary judgment based on an incomplete record. 4. Whether appellate courts deny meaningful review by: a. Refusing oral argument, and b. Issuing summary affirmances and rehearing denials without addressing substantial federal questions.
