Whether the unauthorized actions of the Sixth Circuit clerks violates a litigants’ right to have their case and controversy heard before a judge rather than a clerk?
-
Whether the Sixth Circuit erred in denying the Petitioner his right to a fair and accurate record on appeal pursuant to Fed. R. App. P. 10 when the evidence showing adulteration of the record was uncontroverted?
-
Whether the district court erred in failing recuse or assign the recusal for hearing to another judge violated § 144 and as a result the Petitioners’ fundamental rights afforded under U.S. Const. amend. V?
