Peter Kleidman v. Court of Appeal of California, Second Appellate District, et al.
Question 1. Is California's No-citation Rule unconstitutional because it is substantively repugnant to due process?
Question 2. Is California's No-citation Rule unconstitutional because it is substantively repugnant to equal protection?
Question 3. Did the Court of Appeal violate Kleidman's right to due process by deciding a new rule of law adversely to Kleidman, while simultaneously invoking the No-citation Rule so that the new rule is not part of California law generally?
Question 4. Did the Court of Appeal violate Kleidman's right to equal protection by deciding a new rule of law adversely to Kleidman, while simultaneously invoking the No-citation Rule so that the new rule is not part of California law generally?
Question 5. When a California Court of Appeal dismisses an appeal as untimely filed, sometimes the dismissal is decided with the concurrence of two justices whereas other times it is decided by a single justice. Is this classification - appeals dismissed as untimely with the concurrence of two justices vis-a-vis appeals dismissed as untimely by a single justice - violative of equal protection?
