IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 24-6182 · judgment April 21, 2025
Questions presented
-
Where throughout Our Nation ALL criminal defendants are routinely released, liberty restored, should the felony trial judge, in exercise of his or her discretion, elect not to produce document, affix signature to, a "JUDGMENT," (state legislative and federal law mandate), the sole written, requisite instrument witnessing on record a disposition of guilt — May any sane, adult, United States citizen against whom no "judgment" of guilt exists (in the matter at bar), none documented none entered on record, no docket listing, and who remains innocence, be forever detained (44-plus years and continuing), trial abandoned pre—judgment by both prosecution and defense counsel?
-
While this court has provided guidance where AEDPA and successive petition limitations are inapplicable against claims of unlawful conviction, it is not clearly settled, here a case of first impression: What burden, or procedural bar, if any, falls upon a citizen requesting an appropriate remedy, to prove (denied assistance or re-appointment of counsel) he is NOT convicted of crime? 11 // // APPL of K.E.
