Questions presented

I QUESTIONS

  1. In light of CAED district judge’s admission that they are “wholly unable to handle civil matters and the district court’s order assigning this case to district judge “NONE”; was the referral to a magistrate lawful?

  2. In light of the district judge’s ruling claiming : that summary judgment is unavailable on habeas; and who has otherwise failed to follow clearly established law; should this Court invoke its supervisory authority to prevent a systemic abuse of discretion and/or complete miscarriage of justice? '

  3. Is California Code of Civil Procedure §527.8, a statute which fails to include any useful standards to the situations which it applies, void for vagueness? ^
