Question presented

Whether I have endured a violation of the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Specifically, whether this right was violated by the failure • of the Georgia Legislators to provide In Forma Pauperis provision in the Official Code of Georgia § 9-11-9.1, also known as "The Affidavit Law," which was imposed during courtroom proceedings in the Georgia Magistrate Court of Thomas County (Small Claims) where I attempted to file a claim.
