Question presented

  1. When petitioner sought remedy under discharge injunction against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A, Ninth Circuit denied. It directed petitioners to seek remedy under civil right as sanction in an "ongoing litigation." When petitioners sought that remedy, Ninth Circuit denied again based on "insubstantial question." Did Ninth Circuit improperly take away the latter remedy which is likewise guaranteed under federal laws?

  2. Whether "judicial estoppel" could be applied as an exception to foreclose Ninth Circuit's Order contradictorily deeming such remedy "insubstantial?"
