Edward L. Clark, Jr. v. Deborah L. Clark

IFP petition · Court of Appeal of California, Fourth Appellate District, Division Three, No. G064157 · judgment June 25, 2025


Pending

Questions presented

  1. Does a person representing themselves as a prose litigant automatically forfeit his Fourteenth amendment rights to fair and equal protection under the law in a court with Subject Matter Jurisdiction? If Not

  2. Is Subject Matter Jurisdiction still the foundational pre-requisite for any judicial process to be legal, valid and enforceable in the United States?

  3. Can a Family Court fabricate and take back subject matter jurisdiction ONCE forfeited, (failing to reserve jurisdiction in judgment before being dismissed) in a dissolution money judgment and after refusing to merge private settlement contracts into the family court judgment for a final accord?

  4. Can a family court judge fabricate a new judgment with a different judgment date (11-years later) using a case number no longer at issue over two years prior with a fully executed private settlement contract dated 3/21/2016?

  5. Does the “The Law Of The Land Doctrine” allow an appellate court to supersede the long standing precedence of Subject matter jurisdiction, basically allowing an appellate court to validate void orders by adopting an order it issued on the merits of a void order?.

  6. Is it standard judicial conduct to issue a pre-filing order as a shield from legal liability to introduce extrinsic fraud to enforce VOID orders under the law, that were issued without subject matter jurisdiction and by a person who is not a judge?
