Whether Respondents violated Petitioner’s due process right guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment by disregarding employer's own policy to label Petitioner as “not eligible for rehire” due to misconduct . “demonstrating unfitness for employment”, for which the circuit courts of appeals are split in terms of how to define a stigma that infringes liberty interest and what constitutes the publication of the stigma.
