Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Given that a conspiracy to commit bank fraud is clearly illegal under federal law, as highlighted in the recent Manafort case, does a state's enforcement of a disputed oral agreement to violate federal banking law violate the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution?

2. Does a state's exclusion of a witness violate a party's constitutional right to due process and a fair trial, under the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution?

3. Does a state's entry of judgment for duplicative damages violate a party's constitutional right to substantive due process to be free from arbitrary state court decisions, under the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether a state court's enforcement of an agreement to violate federal banking law violates the Supremacy Clause, whether the state court's exclusion of critical witness testimony violated due process, and whether the state court's award of duplicative damages violated substantive due process
