Questions presented

  1. Whether in conflict with the clear authority of this court California’s common law concept of “law of the case” may defeat the command of 28 U.S.C. § 1446 (d) that a state court shall proceed no further without a remand order from the federal court?

  2. Whether section 5 of California Senate Bill x211, which provides retroactive “superimmunities” to state judges of the courts of record violates the Supremacy Clause and the Civil Rights Act of 1886? And whether the involuntary waiver of federal rights caused by this provision can be effectuated in court proceedings when the state fails to maintain a proper or adequate official record?

  3. Whether Justice Elwood Liu and the judicial panel’s failure to recuse themselves from participation in the case, due to financial and general interests, violated the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment?
