Question presented

In Monroe County, FL, Judge Luis Garcia of the Sixteenth Circuit issued a denial order refusing to hear Petitioners and made a “sweeping” pardon of multiple parties from their legal duties and escape from damages after Mr. Bradley King, the Petitioner charged by the State, was fully acquitted. This “cover up” by the State Attorney’s Office, was in conjunction with the Petitioners’ attorney, and an arresting officer dismissed by Internal Affairs from the Police Force, who accommodated a wealthy drug runner in the FL. Keys from Miami, against Mr. King, after he “blew the whistle” on the drug runner and his Enterprises. This implicates important constitutional and statutory concerns arising from 1st Amendment Freedom of Speech, Landlord-Tenant Law, government overreach, and rights for damages in “Stand Your Ground” cases, such as for “whistle blowers”. Nevertheless, the Third District Court of Appeals (D.C.A.) in Miami incorrectly denied jurisdiction. This was timely reported to the Florida Supreme Court, which gave a No. SC2024- 1479, but denied discretionary review the same day Petitioners filed, stating, “No motion for rehearing or reinstatement will be entertained by the' Court”, rendering Petitioners unable to submit their brief within the normally allotted ten days. This stifling of Petitioners’ Freedom of Speech, avoiding damages and due process will continue, absent court intervention. The questions presented are: 1. Whether the Supreme Court should compel the Third D.C.A. to overturn Judge Garcia’s Order filed
