Question Presented (from Petition)

Does Grove have an interest in his property which is protected by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments such that he has a civil rights claim and takings claim against a state district court which deprived Grove of his right to appeal a $7,041.00 small claims court attorney fee judgment against him and thereby allowed the sanitation district using a judgment lien to take $7,041.00 of Grove's money?
