Caleb L. McGillvary v. Nicholas Scutari, et al.

IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, No. 25-2000 · judgment September 18, 2025

Certiorari denied · January 26, 2026

Questions presented

  1. Is the use of 3rd Cir, L.A.R. 27.4 to effectively convert an appeal as of right into a discretionary appeal, which denies an appellant the opportunity to fully brief the issues and fails to review the record below despite appellate jurisdiction being present, inconsistent with the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure and 28 U.S.C. 1291, 1292(a)(1)?

  2. Would having papers reviewed by a Large Language Model Artificial Intelligence, such as Grok or ChatGPT, provide a better assurance of Due Process than copied-and-pasted boilerplate opinions?

  3. Was the dismissal of the federal civil RICO claims against the NJ Democrat Act Blue lobbying network, concerning their bid-rigging of a sale of public land to Netflix in exchange for Netflix’s agreement to become an Act Blue money laundering and Democrat propaganda machine, error requiring reversal, when Plaintiff has provided evidence of actual injury due to their obstruction of his federal proceedings challenging that bid rigging transaction?

  4. Is the dismissal of the claims below with prejudice, without liberally construing self-representing plaintiffs claims nor granting leave to amend when prior leave has not been granted, error requiring reversal?
