Eddie Scott v. Crystal Blanton, et al.

IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, No. 25-10214


Pending

Questions presented

  1. Does the Younger Doctrine violate the Due Process Clause of the United States Constitution by denying citizens their Bill of Rights protections guaranteed by the Bill of Rights against the State government, being incorporated into the States by the Fourteenth Amendment during the Reconstruction Era?

  2. Should Younger V. Harris, 401 U.S. 37 (1971), be overruled? The Younger Doctrine was ruled in respect to federalism, equity, and comity. Has the Younger Doctrine deviated from those rooted principles over time?

  3. And, due to the State's case being prosecuted in Bad Faith pursuant to Dombrowski v. Pfister, 380 U.S. 479 (1965), was the district court's dismissal of the preliminary injunction without a hearing applying Younger prejudice? Was the district court in error using Younger as its tool in denying equity by not producing the prisoner to be heard by the court or judge after material in fact was presented in the habeas corpus claim petition pursuant to Waley v. Johnson, 316 U.S.101 (1942)?

  4. Did the Federal District Court make a clear legal error in applying Younger even after the State proceedings were concluded with an acquittal by using Federal Rule 60 (b) as its basis?
