John Doe Corporation v. Kennerly, Montgomery & Finley, P.C.
Whether, in holding that a state trial court can summarily dismiss a plaintiff's complaint without attempting to provide notice to the plaintiff before the dismissal was effected when the trial court had the plaintiff's counsel's contact information, the decision of the Court of Appeals of Tennessee in this case is in conflict with relevant decisions of this Court as to this important federal question concerning due process of law, and whether that decision has the potential to immediately and adversely affect millions of state-court civil cases if not corrected by this Court.
