Question presented

The questions presented are: Question One: Whether Petitioner is entitled to $2.6 billion in civil RICO default judgment under Rule 55 where Defendants failed to respond, and trial and appellate courts refused review, violating due process under the Fourteenth Amendment. Question Two: Whether Colorado’s “finality” clause in C.R.S. § 22-30.5-108(3)(d) violates due process and free speech rights by barring judicial review of charter school denials involving systemic antitrust, statutory noncompliance, and civil RICO violations. Question Three: Whether the Colorado Supreme Court Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel’s (OARC) unreviewable structure violates the Fourteenth Amendment by shielding attorney misconduct—sabotage, forgery, bribery, and RICO—from investigation or discipline. Question Four: Whether CCRD’s refusal to assert jurisdiction over third-party employment discrimination— despite EEOC policy and federal law recognizing such claims—violates Title VII and denies whistleblower protection and constitutional redress. Question Five: Whether a state court may dismiss a Sherman Act claim for lack ofjurisdiction despite 15 U.S.C. § 15(a)’s express private right of action, and whether this denies due process and antitrust accountability.
