Question presented

Whether the Clerk of the Circuit Court for the Fourth Circuit must refer Petitioner Louis B. Antonacci’s case, which was fully briefed on September 9, 2024, to a panel of judges for ruling. Whether the Fourth Circuit must exercise its jurisdiction and timely rule on Petitioner’s Appeals from the May 23, 2024 order of District Judge Michael S. Nachmanoff, Eastern District of Virginia, dismissing Antonacci’s claims under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act of 1970 (18 U.S.C. § 1962 et. seq.) for want of subject matter jurisdiction, and Magistrate Judge Vaala’s June 7, 2024 order denying Antonacci’s request for entry of default against Defendant BEAN LLC d/b/a Fusion GPS, which were perfected on June 11, 2024, and where briefing was completed on September 9, 2024. Whether Antonacci is being denied due process of law, in retaliation for his protected speech, by the prejudicial, unfounded and plainly-biased rulings of Judge Nachmanoff and Magistrate Judge Vaala, when viewed in conjunction with the acts of the Fourth Circuit Clerk and the Fourth Circuit Court’s failure to timely rule on Petitioner’s Appeal, the Virginia State Bar’s unfounded attack on Antonacci’s Bar license, which is clearly meant to prevent him from further prosecuting his causes of action against the criminal enterprise alleged in his complaint, and the litany of unfounded and plainly prejudicial rulings of the Democrat-controlled courts in Chicago, together with the Supreme Court of Illinois’s Committee on Character and Fitness declining to admit Antonacci to the Illinois Bar, despite his being licensed in three other jurisdictions and never having any disciplinary issue.
