What it's about

Floyd says Georgia courts left a claimed defect in the eviction court’s authority unresolved, treated her appeal as late, and required her to deposit alleged back rent.

Question presented

1. Whether a final judgment can legally stand or must be vacated under the Due Process Clause when an underlying jurisdictional defect remains uncured for twenty months, lingering from the magistrate court through the state appellate system up to the United States Supreme Court? 2. Whether the Fourteenth Amendment ’ s Due Process Clause prohibits state appellate jurisdiction from treating timely appeals of evictions as discretionary or subject to procedural traps, rather than recognizing them as a direct right, specific to lingering jurisdictional defects arising out of eviction proceedings? 3. Whether a state court violates the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses by requiring a tenant to deposit thousands of dollars in alleged "back rent" into a court registry as a prerequisite to challenge a fundamentally void, manufactured judgment, thereby handicapping a system that intentionally creates displacement? 4. Does a state supreme court violate the Fourteenth Amendment ’ s Due Process Clause when it dismisses a petition as untimely by applying a trigger date from a separate independent proceeding, where the petitioner reasonably relied upon the strictly complied with the filing deadline taken from the appellate court ’ s official final docket entry and challenged order noted on the immediate notice of appeal?

What happens next

The Court must decide whether to hear the petition. No oral argument is scheduled.
