In Re Wilfredo Feliciano-Rodriguez
IFP petition
Questions presented
-
Whether the Court of Appeals violated its constitutional duty by failing to determine the absence of federal subject-matter jurisdiction after the government omitted its opposition brief and instead filed a motion for summary disposition in Case Nos. 23-1405, 23-1706, and 23-1520, while simultaneously arguing that the District Court possessed federal jurisdiction because Puerto Rico is "a current territory of the United States."
-
Whether the repeated failure of the lower courts to address the jurisdictional challenge — despite clear constitutional and statutory mandates — constitutues an abuse of judicial power warranting the issuance of a writ of mandamus.
