Edward Ronny Arnold v. Herbert Slatery, III, Attorney General of Tennessee

This is a case to recover monies earned from working the substituted office closings of the federal and state holiday of Columbus Day. The plaintiff is pro se and Tennessee law has held a pro se litigant is not entitled to legal fees. The Plaintiff cannot recover monies or fees for time spent in this civil action. The damages in this civil action are limited to one day’s pay in the amount of $180.00, minus withholding, plus filing fees. It is reasonable to conclude the defendant, representing the State of Tennessee, has expended more than $50,000 in judicial cost and time expenditure affecting the following state and federal courts: General Sessions Davidson County, Tennessee; Sixth Circuit Court Davidson County, Tennessee; Tennessee Court of Appeals for the Middle District at Nashville; Tennessee Supreme Court; United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee; United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit; United States Supreme Court. The questions presented are:

1. Whether the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit misapplied the Rooker v. Feldman doctrine in dismissing the civil action.

2. Whether the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit incorrectly determined the plaintiffs last working day was November 24, 2015 not November 25, 2015
