Questions presented

This petition seeks to resolve a paradox wherein the lower court systemically issues certain orders without affording due process, and in turn the Court of Appeals systemically dismisses appeals from such orders as akin to “administrative” decisions, and stating that the appellant may seek judicial redress instead.

  1. Did Judicial Nominee Mr. Iain D. Johnston fabricate a non-existent certiorari petition case name on his response to the U.S. Senate’s Questionnaire for Judicial Nominees, falsely characterize it as a “Bluebooking error,” and fabricate allegations about the informant to the District Court, resulting in issuance of the order dismissed by the Court of Appeals for lack of jurisdiction?1

  2. Has the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals been systemically dismissing similar appeals for many years on the mistaken belief that the federal court could be sued in a civil court?

  3. Have the systemic dismissals of such appeals 1 Mr. Johnston characterized a false Supreme Court petition case name he reported on p.34 of his response to the Senate as a “Bluebooking error” (See A.W.S. v. Johnston, 4:22-cv-04718-JSW (N. Dist. CA), dkt. 36 p.9:6-7), and does not deny that he made a false reporting to the District Court about the informant Mr. Shalaby (Id. at 11:6-22).
