Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the failure of the district court and the appellate court to ensure an earlier legal decision is fair and just and subsequent disregard of a pro se plaintiff's appeal constitute a violation of the plaintiff's right to due process?

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION PRESENTED. If a district court applies qualified immunity to a case upon adopting a factual basis containing a clear error of fact, with such clear error being directly materia! to the application of qualified immunity, and such a ruling is later appealed both to the district court and the court of appeals, but both courts still refuse to acknowledge or correct the clear error and instead dismiss a plaintiff's appeal in a one paragraph unpublished opinion devoid of any legal reasoning, does the failure of the district court and the appellate court to ensure an earlier legal decision is fair and just and subsequent disregard of a pro se plaintiff's appeal constitute a violation of the plaintiffs right to due process?
