Questions presented

  1. Did the Second Circuit Court of Appeals commit serious error when it affirmed dismissal of a civil rights action challenging state actor interferences in a federal election, one that featured divorce executions upon a congressional campaign account?

  2. Alternatively, did this extraordinary case seeking timely relief unavailable before the Federal Election Commission warrant a private right of action in federal court to remedy unlawful third-party conversions of federal campaign funds administered by Petitioner?
