Question presented

If the Petitioner’s 14th Amendment right to due process and equal protection under the law are violated by the delays in issuing rulings as justice delayed is justice denied. If a judge can put their finger on the scales of justice by delaying rulings as delays adversely affect the litigant seeking relief. If there is a need for a means of monitoring the period of time it takes a judge to issue a ruling in a civil case. If the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court errored in not using its powers under G. L. c. 211, § 3 to address the six outstanding motions filed in the Probate Court in 2019 that are preventing due process from proceeding as there are no other identified remedies.
