Questions presented

Wei Qiu the American citizen of Chinese origin pursued Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for the discrimination against her based on her race, color, national origin when she searched for employment with Scott in the federal court. Wei Qiu had to be a pro se because no lawyer took her small money value case. She ignorantly filed groundless motions to tell the court that Scott lied in the discovery. The court ordered her to get the magistrate judge’s permission to file her pleadings. Later the court took advantage of the limit on Qiu to deny Qiu to file her 59(e) motion to alter the errors of fact and law and injustice in the order which granted Scott’s summary and Qiu’s sanction motion to tell the court the facts in Scott’s summary were lies. Qiu’s 59(e) and sanction motions were not filed into the docket. Questions to be Answered

  1. Can the court deny a litigant to file her 59(e) motion and sanction motion?

  2. Did the court violate Qiu’s Constitutional right to Due Process under Section 1 of Amendment XIV for denying Qiu to file her 59(e) and sanction motions?

  3. Did the court violate the procedure law the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for denying Qiu to file her legitimate 59(e) and sanction motions?
