Question presented

Does the doctrines of res-judicata and collateral estoppel fail when the Petitioner has repeatedly disputed and proven that not any one of the necessary elements required for these types of dismissals have been established? Does the doctrine of collateral estoppel bar or limit a subsequent case that now includes further harm of which was not ripe for adjudication in the first complaint? Does the application of "State Actor" as presented in this case pose a federal question as to call for an exercise of this Court's supervisory power?
