Roger Brown v. Citizens Property Insurance Corporation, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, No. 20-11607 · judgment February 4, 2021
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
Both the lower Courts’ decisions contradict cases within its own circuit, other circuits, and this Court’s precedent in Thacker v TVA. Please consider these questions. A. Does Thacker v TVA apply to a similar “sue and be sued” body in determining Eleventh Amendment immunity for a State's “Arm-of-the-State” corporate entity when conducting commercial activities? B. Does the commercial versus governmental activity test in Thacker v TVA over ride or modify the Eleventh Circuit's four [4] prong test in determining Eleventh Amendment immunity for a State's "Armof-the-State" corporate entity? C. Did the Eleventh Circuit err by applying their four prong test in the abstract and too narrowly? Secondary Issue Questions: If the Court Pleases, for judicial economy, please consider these questions raised in the District and Appeals Court that Brown faces on his journey to justice with a Florida jury. D. Are Florida laws that impairs contracts unconstitutional? E. Are Florida’s limits on punitive damages unconstitutional? F. Are lack of pro se fee awards unconstitutional? n
