a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment by
allowing Florida 's lower courts to treat Petitioner differently from other similarly
situated individuals in probate proceedings.

2. Whether the rulings of Florida 's lower and appellate courts, specifically the freezing
of Petitioner 's accounts, the misapplication of controlling federal and probate law,

procedural and substantive due process under the Fifth and Fourteenth
Amendments.

and the appellate court 's dismissal of Petitioner 's appeal solely due to counsel 's
error, deprived Petitioner of her constitutional right to a fair hearing and

arbitrary and capricious rulings that deprived Petitioner of fundamental rights
under the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth
Amendment.
