Question presented

Is it fitting for three Democrat judges from a district court and a panel of three Democrat judges from an appellate court to decide a case that has almost entirely Democrat defendants-appellees, especially when one of them is the sitting New York State Attorney General? Is such an unusual situation grounds for transfer to another circuit? Did the panel err in applying the in forma pauperis (I.F.P.) statute, 28 U.S.C. §1915, to this case, since I, the plaintiff-appellant, had paid the court fees, had never been in prison and was not indigent? Was this a due process violation, given that it resulted in my not being heard at all? Did the panel err in failing to address the merits, or respond to any of the points raised in the appellate brief? (Inter alia, the excessive speed and brevity of the Decision revealed the District Court’s predetermined view of the case, leave to replead was not granted, the statement that the case is frivolous was false, among other false statements, and Decision was issued before exhibits were fully filed.) Are the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993 (18 U.S.C. §922) and the Intelligence Identities Protection Act (50 U.S.C. §421) unconstitutional? ■f; *■
