Question Presented (from Petition)

This case presents a singular question of the outer limits of a citizen's Constitutional due process and other related Constitutional rights in legal proceedings stretching over years and involving multiple levels of courts, trial, appellate, and state Supreme Court, which courts at all levels repeatedly denied said rights to the citizen, and culminating in a punitive grossly-excessive award of appellate attorney fees resulting from said denials of Constitutional rights.

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the Indiana courts violated Newman's due process rights by awarding $167,437.50 in appellate attorney fees against him without affording him Constitutional due process and without any findings of specific wrongdoing
