| Question presented | Department of Labor, et al., Petitioners v. Sun Valley Orchards, LLC1. Whether Article III of the Constitution precludes the Department of Labor from adjudicating proceedings to collect monetary remedies from employers who have allegedly violated the terms and conditions of employment of H-2A workers and domestic workers in corresponding employment? 2. Whether 8 U. S. C. §1188(g)(2) authorizes the Department of Labor to adjudicate proceedings to collect monetary remedies from employers who have allegedly violated the terms and conditions of employment of H-2A workers and domestic workers in corresponding employment? | George Melvin Cannon v.

Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles1. Whether the Sixth Circuit’s decision upholding Ohio’s automatic driver's license suspension scheme under R.C. §§ 3123.55(A), 3123.58, and 3123.60 — which mandates suspension without pre-deprivation notice or hearing and expressly prohibits the state agency from granting any appeal — conflicts with this Court's holding in Bell v. Burson, 402 U.S. 535 (1971), and deepens an explicit Circuit split with the Fourth Circuit's en banc decision in Stinnie v. Holcomb, 55 F.4th 951 (4th Cir. 2022)? 2. Whether the lower courts erred in dismissing Petitioner's claims WITH PREJUDICE on procedural and immunity grounds, where the dismissal permanently forecloses all judicial remedies under principles of res judicata and claim preclusion, despite written, sworn admissions by state respondents that the underlying suspension was factually baseless and executed without due process? 3. Whether a state motor vehicle agency is immune from suit under the Eleventh Amendment when enforcing a concededly unconstitutional statutory scheme, where the agency's own sworn admissions establish that it suspends licenses prior to notice through a purely mechanical, non-discretionary act? 4. Whether a district court's blanket, non-individualized certification under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) across multiple actions by an indigent pro se litigant conflicts with Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438 (1962), and violates Griffin v. Illinois, 351 U.S. 12 (1956), and M.L.B. v. S.L.J., 519 U.S. 102 (1996), by creating an impenetrable procedural barrier to appellate review? 5. Whether a state agency's repeated imposition of license suspensions following written admissions of error and non responses to statutory hearing requests constitutes a pattern of deliberate constitutional defiance warranting this Court’s supervisory intervention? |
| Summary | Department of Labor, et al., Petitioners v. Sun Valley Orchards, LLCThis case concerns whether the Department of Labor may use its own administrative process to impose monetary remedies on an H-2A agricultural employer alleged to have violated required working and living conditions for visa and corresponding U.S. workers. The Court will consider both the agency’s statutory authority and whether Article III requires these claims to be decided first by a federal court. | George Melvin Cannon v. Department of JusticeGeorge Melvin Cannon says lower courts dismissed his case because they lacked authority to hear it, and asks whether courts may deny review because he represented himself; he also questions whether his work as a veterans’ representative for a state agency made him a federal employee. The docket shows his petition and request to proceed without paying fees were filed and the petition was sent to a conference; that step is not a decision to hear the case. | Elhadj Alpha Mahmoud Souare v. Ohio Bureau of Motor VehiclesElhadj Alpha Mahmoud Souare asks the Supreme Court to review a Sixth Circuit ruling that, he says, upheld Ohio’s automatic driver’s-license suspensions without advance notice or a hearing. He also challenges the lower courts’ dismissal of his suit, arguing that the state motor vehicle agency could not suspend his license without a fair chance to contest it. |
