Zachary C. Crouch v. Tennessee Department of Human Services

IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, No. 24-5880 · judgment March 4, 2025


Certiorari denied · October 14, 2025

Question presented

The questions presented for review include whether state sovereign immunity can be and should be applied to federal laws of fraud and theft. This is a question of law, de novo, because when the Constitution of the United States or laws of the United States directly contradict a law or statute of the State of Tennessee, a decision must be made to make clear boundaries of what details of the civil proceedings will agree with the Constitution of the United States and laws or statutes of the State of Tennessee. Specifically, in this proceeding the law or statute of the State of Tennessee is sovereign immunity. On the other hand, the Constitution of the United States has federal fraud laws, federal theft laws, and denounces itself as the Supreme Law of the Land. Also, federal fraud and theft laws contradict state sovereign immunity laws as well because you cannot simply enforce both at the same time unless new laws are created.
