Heading: Denial of due process by the extent of the proceedings

Text: In this exception Kerpelman contends: 35. The proceedings were so protracted, expanded, and enlarged, particularly by bringing in collateral and other inadmissable [sic] issues, that the court is now presented with a transcript which it is believed is so long that members of this Court will not read it and the case will be decided not only on the evidence presented, but on the so-called findings of Levin; and these are distortions; and the Respondent is denied thereby Due Process of law. As these exceptions illustrate, if these proceedings have been unduly protracted, expanded, and enlarged, to a large degree this is the work of Mr. Kerpelman. Although he has raised myriad issues in his exceptions, many of which are frivolous, to put it mildly, he has made no reference to one very important issue which we shall discuss later in this opinion. The contention is without merit.
