Questions presented
In 2015, Coulter filed three (3) Civil Cases in the federal courts - all of them were filed exclusively on the basis of the federal courts' Diversity Jurisdiction. The first of these cases, Coulter v. Lindsay, (21a.) was Dismissed With Prejudice as a Sanction - a decision which was upheld by the Third Circuit. Coulter filed the second case, the Instant Matter, approximately four (4) months later (9a.), and the last case, just a week after the second one was filed. (3a.) Prior to the District Court's determination of Coulter's domicile in the Instant Matter (but after the Third Circuit upheld the Dismissal With Prejudice of the first case filed under Diversity Jurisdiction), the final case was Dismissed Without Prejudice (for lack of Diversity Jurisdiction) (14a.) - a decision produced by the same jurist who Dismissed the first case (Lindsay) "With Prejudice" less than five (5) months earlier. (22a.) i&l Questions Presented for Review
-
Has the Third Circuit improperly determined that domicile of Plaintiff can be based exclusively on the determination of domicile in a subsequently filed case - conflicting with decisions of other Circuits?
-
Has the Third Circuit so far departed from accepted procedures to require This Court to exercise the court's supervisory powers - as the Third Circuit has permitted Dismissal of both the Instant Matter (and the subsequently filed case) as the result of undue deference to clearly improper decisions by obviously biased jurists from the district court?
-
Was Due Process denied when domicile was decided (by a highly biased jurist) without notice? i.
