Christopher Langdon v. Sun Lake Multi-Family Holdings, LLC, et al.

IFP petition · Supreme Court of Florida, No. SC2024-1368 · judgment September 19, 2024


Certiorari denied · October 6, 2025

Question presented

  1. Do the courts in Florida deny: due process of law; equal protection under the law; and meaningful access to the courts;- to pro se, non-prisoner, litigants?

  2. Does the Court’s ruling in Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519 (1976), which requires that pro se lawsuits be liberally construed, apply to all pro se litigants, prisoner and non-prisoner alike, in the state courts, and in the federal courts?

  3. Does the Court’s ruling in Haines v. Kerner apply to all the filings of pro se litigants, or only to the pleadings of pro se litigants?

  4. Is local Rule 7 of Florida’s Ninth Judicial Circuit, which holds the filings of pro se litigants to the same standards as attorney’s filings, contrary to Haines v. Kerner, supra1 ?

  5. If a plaintiff requests a jury trial, and is denied a jury trial on issues that are only to be decided by a jury, is the resulting judgment void?

  6. May an attorney (Barry B. Johnson), who asked the Florida courts to take as true my allegations that he: committed penury; suborned perjury 40 times; lied to the tribunal; and misrepresented material facts and the law, be allowed to practice law in the federal courts?

  7. May an attorney be a witness, and a counsel for the defense, in the same case?

  8. May a motion to dismiss deny, and admit, the basic allegations in a lawsuit, and challenge the merits of the action, under the penalty of perjury?

  9. May a motion to dismiss be in affidavit form, sworn to under the penalty of perjury by the defendants?

  10. May a defense attorney refuse to inform a plaintiff of the address of a defendant, or a witness?
