Question presented
The Statute of Limitations protects against frivolous lawsuits. However, the Statute of Limitations was not established to conceal wrongdoings by federal agencies. This petition for a Writ of Certiorari is requested because the Statute of Limitations is being used to conceal past wrongdoings by the Bureau of Reclamation and Bureau of Land Management. This review is requested because justice in this case will not be served in lower courts against federal agencies. The claim in this case dates back to the mid 1920s when racial segregation and discrimination was socially acceptable and the Constitutional Rights of African Americans were violated with impunity until the 1964 Civil Rights Act. On the surface, it sounds like this case is outdated and the violations in the claims are things that happened over (90) years. A defense attorney would make it sound like the claim happened years ago or decades ago. The violations () started decades ago, and they continue today because the Bureau of Reclamation is supporting a decision by Metropolitan Water District of Southern California that delayed a decision to support the land on the Yuma Island infinitely. Question: African Americans as a protected group, Constitutional Rights were violated during the administration of the Yuma Reclamation Project, and it is being concealed by the Statute of Limitations. The U.S. Attorney and the Attorney Generals of Arizona and California are using the Statute of Limitations and Sovereign Immunity to deny justice for Constitutional Rights violations. How do we insure that valid claims of Constitutional Rights violations that contain elements of fraud are not dismissed as frivolous claims? This petition for Writ of Certiorari case number 18-1689 is related to two other cases in the United States District U
