Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Whether the Sixth Circuit has negated the relief it otherwise affords in Conlin to homeowners whose homes have been foreclosed through fraudulent means.

2. If, indeed, the Sixth Circuit opinion under review negates the relief it otherwise afforded in Conlin to homeowners whose homes have been foreclosed through fraud, does such negation require that this Court provide guidance to the Sixth Circuit, and, by extension, to all federal circuits and state courts, as to the correct application of res judicata and claim preclusion laws to foreclosures obtained through fraud, especially given the expected tsunami of foreclosures in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic?

3. Whether any party may stand in the shoes of a named defendant in a federal fraud complaint?

Question Presented (AI Summary)
