ADVANCE FOR USE SUNDAY, OCT. 18, 2015 AND THEREAFTER – In this Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2015 photo, Mary Ann Steele, who is a part of a lawsuit against the state of California over her experience in trying to reclaim an inheritance from her adoptive father, poses for a photo in Carmichael, Calif. In March 2015, the U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled in the state’s favor in a suit brought on behalf of Steele and other claimants. Their lawyer, William Palmer, has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case. “You’re unknown when they have your property, but you’re known when it’s time to tax you,” Palmer said.
