In Re Ryan P. Givey

IFP petition


Certiorari denied · June 8, 2026

Questions presented

PETITIONER’S ex-wife filed for emergency custody of their children solely based on the fact that Petitioner filed a court case (US Supreme Court, Givey v DOJ, 23-

  1. claiming he is an attacked whistleblower and demanding Biden’s DOJ to take a criminal complaint, which they refused to do. PETITIONER’S ex-wife was immediately denied emergency custody of their children and a trial was set before Judge Sondergaard for a two-hour hearing. Within the next 40 minutes, the case was improperly transferred to Judge Royer and scheduled for a full day hearing on 1/3/24. Then Judge Sondergaard presided over a pre-trial hearing in July 2025 and the case was then improperly transferred back to Judge Royer. After PETITIONER alleged that Judge Royer had a conflict of interest, exceeded her authority and violated PETITIONER’S rights, the Court again, improperly switched judges in the case to Judge Cauley, who proceeded to deny PETITIONER a reasonable accommodation under ADA. On appeal PETITIONER’S appeal was denied in a Pa Superior Court order that was not verified by the Prothonotary and did not comply with the Pa Supreme Court’s rules regarding per curiam orders.

  2. Should Chester County Court Judge Clay Cauley Sr. be restrained from presiding as judge in any further judicial proceedings in custody case No. 2015-06444-CU in the Chester County Court of Common Pleas?
