It sounds like you're leaving the US because you are abandoning your permanent residence. In that case, you are not eligible to return on the basis of your green card. See 8 CFR 211.1(a), which provides that the green card may be used by someone who is arriving "as a lawful permanent resident returning to an unrelinquished lawful permanent residence ...

from Guam to Hawaii or from Puerto Rico to Florida.
Your question contains everything needed to reach the correct answer.

Suppose an individual is cited for a speeding infraction or served
with a civil subpoena/complaint and fails to show up to court because
at the same time the federal government deports the individual and as
a result the individual cannot show up to a state court/trial. Does
this individual have any recourse if a default judgement is entered
against them? Or ...
