Question presented

Should this court grant review to remedy the conspicuous violations of due process, specifically those that elicit important questions concerning the administration of a state prison? Will this court consider implementing rules forbidding the repetitive use of sub-silentio denials by state high courts for the purpose of stuffing or blackballing its dissident's urgent merit? Can the substance of specific factors herein relating to prisoner's grievance rights be approved for treatment in a way that aids this court's appellate jurisdiction? Did CA Supreme Court ignore a great opportunity to get a jumpstart towards fixing a system that is nearly beyond repair when it decided against petitioner's instant case? Is it wrong for the CDCR to make unsupervised determinations, which result in catastrophic quantities of constitutional deprivations to prisoners?
