Whether federal courts of appeals exceed Article III judicial power by issuing non-precedential decisions and whether non-precedential orders without reasoning violate due process rights
QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether federal courts of appeals exceed the “judicial power” assigned under Article III of the Constitution when they issue non-precedential decisions to resolve contested appellate issues. 2. Whether the right to due process flowing from the statutory right to appeal is violated when non-frivolous appellate challenges to a lower court judgment are disposed of by way of a non-precedential order that does not provide analysis or reasoning to explain the outcome. i RELEATED PROCEEDINGS e United States v.
