Questions presented

  1. Whether the 2nd Circuit erred in law in upholding the District Court’s dismissal of the case on grounds of being frivolous because of presidential immunity and insufficiently pleaded facts to sustain an actionable claim against the Respondents, which is in conflict with the earlier D.C Circuit Court’s decision that held that determining the legal issue of a President operating outside the scope of employment and his culpability for civil claim(s) are for factfinding during the trial of the case based on complete evidential record and not a question of law that can be determined preliminarily by a dispositive application (sua sponte or motion) decided by the District Court?

  2. Whether the 2nd Circuit erred in law and reached a decision inconsistent with the lower court case laws when it completely ignored the doctrine of continuing wrong applicable to common law tortious and equitable claims for purposes of the proper computation of time for statute of limitation by holding that the pro se Petitioner’s claim for unjust enrichment, quantum meruit and breach of contract claims are untimely?

  3. Whether the 2nd Circuit Court erred in law and misdirected itself on facts when it held that pro se Party Ikemefuna Stephen Nwoye, a Foreign (Nigerian) Licensed lawyer is not entitled to the “special solicitude” afforded to pro se litigant?
