Questions presented
-
On October 16, 2025, the United States Department of Justice disclosed its indictment of previous National Security Advisor {N-SA) to President Donald Trump, John Bolton. The indictment discloses that the attack on petitioner was known to NSA John Bolton prior to the attack, and that the U.S. government considered the matter top secret. Can evidence just released by the United States of America, through the Justice Department, that eviscerates the opinion ofthe district court and it’s improper affirmance by the appellate panel be grounds for reversal?
-
The appellate panel did not use the “de novo” standard of review of petitioner’s amended complaint, that was wrongfully dismissed by the district court on a FRCP 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss. Did the appellate panel deviate from well settled laws, governing review of a dismissal under Rule 12(b)(6) motions to dismiss?
-
The district court intentionally misapplied Supreme Court precedents Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662 (2009), Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, to be able to wrongfully dismiss petitioner’s prima facie complaint on a Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss. Did the district court violate well settled laws governing Rule 12(b)(6) motions to dismiss, and. violate petitioner’s cenMitutional rights to due process?
