Question presented

Question 1: Where the language of a federal statute is plain and clear and the words of the statute are unambiguous, whether or not judicial inquiry is complete and, if so in failing to enforce it according to its terms would be an abuse of discretion and/or judicial error. Question 2: Where the District Court and then the Court of Appeals refused to address or resolve material issues and issues raised on appeal of a party should this court issue a writ of mandamus directing the Court of Appeals to adjudicate the unresolved issues and issues on appeal, or explain why its adjudication was deemed unnecessary to the disposition of the case or in the alternative grant a writ of certiorari?
