Questions presented
-
Whether the United States Court of Federal Claims erred in dismissing Polinski v. United States, Case No. 24-1810, for lack of subject matter jurisdiction despite clear constitutional and statutory claims under the Fifth Amendment and the Tucker Act arising from unlawful takings of estate assets, financial instruments, and private credit held in federal custody under 31 U.S.C. § 3123 and 12 U.S.C. §§ 411 and 412.
-
Whether the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit erred in summarily affirming Polinski v. United States 25-1578, the dismissal of Petitioner’s takings and fiduciary duty claims, which are money-mandating under 28 U.S.C. § 1491, and by failing to address violations involving GSA Bonds, CUSIPs, CRIS deposits, bills of exchange, and other instruments subject to federal redemption.
-
Whether federal and state actors acting as de facto Treasury agents violated the Fifth ’ and Ninth Amendments by refusing to redeem or return Petitioner’s estate assets, thereby committing a compensable taking, breach of trust, and unjust enrichment in violation of equity and fiduciary law.
-
Whether the lower courts failed to recognize constitutional injuries including unlawful detention, malicious prosecution, and deprivation of property, contrary to the protections of the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth, and Thirteenth Amendments and the redress standard established in Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents, 403 U.S. 388 (1971).
-
Whether Petitioner as a living sui juris beneficiary retains the right under trust and equity law to immediate accounting and return of estate assets as affirmed in Saunders v.
