Anthony Pappas v. Joseph Lorintz, Individually and in His Official Capacity as Supreme Court Judge of New York, et al.

Did the Second Circuit Court of Appeals commit reversible error when it denied a Writ of Mandamus sought by Petitioner as a candidate for Congress to prevent the seizure of his campaign funds by a state divorce court in a case subject to recurrence? Under the extraordinary circumstances of this case featuring a four-month conversion of federal campaign funds by a bank, divorce lawyer and ex-spouse, was it a neglect of duty for the Second Circuit Court of Appeals to allow a federal district court to delay decision on an emergency application until after Election Day? In a two-sentence summary order, was it serious error for the Second Circuit Court of Appeals to disregard a prior restraint on free speech issued in 2011 by a divorce judge along with other retaliatory impositions which seriously harmed a candidate's ability to campaign for federal office?
