City of Miami Gardens, Florida v. Wells Fargo & Co.

Petition for certiorari denied on January 11, 2021
Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
20-405 11th Cir. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2020

Issue: Whether, by raising standing sua sponte at oral argument in an appeal concerning a partial summary-judgment decision focused solely on the statute of limitations and when discovery was limited to that purpose, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit’s decision dismissing this case conflicts with the Supreme Court’s binding precedent in Alabama Legislative Black Caucus v. Alabama and violates due process in conflict with decisions of the Supreme Court and sister circuits.
