Cameron Kemp v. Michael Powers, et al.

IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, No. 25-30024 · judgment July 9, 2025


Certiorari denied · February 23, 2026

Questions presented

  1. Whether the Fifth Circuit erred in affirming the denial of Petitioner’s statutory right to appeal, despite Judge Sims’ knowledge of a self-help eviction executed by Powers, which included seizure of Petitioner’s vehicle and property without a writ of possession, in violation of federal due process and equal protection.

  2. Whether the Fifth Circuit misapplied Monell v. Department of Social Services, 436 U.S. 658 (1978), by requiring multiple identical eviction cases to establish municipal liability despite documented evidence of deliberate indifference.

  3. Whether a judge, acting in collusion with a private party to validate an illegal eviction and deny a constitutional right to appeal, can claim judicial immunity under Mireles v. Waco, 502 U.S. 9 (1991).
