Should a pro se petitioner reasonably expect relief from default as a part of due process under the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution

QUESTIONS PRESENTED (Rule 14.1(a)) 1. Should a pro se petitioner reasonably expect relief from default as a part of due process under the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, if all criteria for said relief detailed in applicable statutes and/or rules of court have been met, and given that petitioner is filing a petition for review in a state supreme court and that said petition for review is their last resort at the state court level? 2. Is the Fourteenth Amendment’s “equal protection” clause applicable to state statutes and/or rules of court regulating relief from default, when said rules make it plain that cases should be resolved on their merits and not on technicality, when other litigants before the same court have been granted relief, and provided a party can prove that said relief from default is just? i \
