Questions presented

  1. Is a Complaint a cognizable ‘three-party’ Contract (simple or specialty, and ultimately of record, i.e. judgment), between the State and the parties, a substantive benefit and property interest created by state law, and does that Contract, including the State’s rules, regulations, statutes, ordinances, resolutions, and policies or procedures,- expressed or implied - (adhesion contract clauses) rise to the level of a legitimate claim of entitlement protected by the US Constitution’s 14th Amendment due process clauses, both procedural and substantive, and the 5th Amendment’s protection of property without due process?

  2. Since New York State Rifle and Pistol Ass’n u. Bruen (2022), how does this Court reconcile and continue to justify the constitutional construction and congressional intent found in Pierson v. Ray (1967), Stump v. Sparkman (1978), inter alia, for judicial immunity under 42 USC § 1983 considering Randall u. Brigham (1868); and the application of 17 Stat. 13, to include judges as proper parties for civil liability within the sets as defined by “That any person who” found therein, and “Every person who ... ” found within 42 USC § 1983?

  3. In protecting Petitioner’s procedural and substantive due process rights under the US Constitution’s 14th Amendment protected, the questions fairly included herein are:
