Tara Jean McManus v. Frank Bisignano, Commissioner of Social Security

IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 25-409 · judgment March 3, 2025


Certiorari denied · November 10, 2025

Question presented

2 3 4 At just 3 years old my life was irrevocably altered. What followed has been a 24 year 5 Pursuit for Justice-through investigation, litigation, and relentless advocacy. 6 7 Today, I bring this Court a critical question: 8 Did the Ninth Circuit error in dismissing case: 25-409 (Appendix: A-l) that carries not 9 only personal consequence, but broader implications for procedural fairness and access 10 to justice? 11 Defendant put in a motion that Plaintiff was late in submitting the case to the Ninth 12 Circuit. The Plaintiff had been accepted into the Ninth Circuit (Appendix: A-3)Court and 13 the explanation accepted (Appendix: D-2). In 2021 the Ninth Circuit found allowing late 14 documents in disability cases (Smith v. Kijkazi no.20-35487) and 2023 Higgins v. Kijkazi. 15 16 The Plaintiff brought forth a "document change "in Western Washington District Court 17 (Appendix C-l and C-2), The Defendant was ordered to withdraw the motion (Appendix: 18 C-3). The Plaintiff argues this act to gain advantage of a case in the matter is against 18 19 U.S.C. 1001. The Plaintiff respectfully contends that the Defendant should be stopped 20 from asserting any argument based on an asserted date, given the prior misconduct in 21 another court. I Respectfully request the court to grant the Writ of Certiorari. The case 22 involves Constitutional violations and has procedural Injustices. 23 24 25 26 27
