Ioan Lela v. Thomas J. Dart, et al.
IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, No. 24-2544 · judgment July 9, 2025
Question presented
-
Whether the attached baseless and " non-precedential " decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit pursuant to the highly controversial Rule 32.1 of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure is extremely contravening to this Honorable Court's longstanding and landmark decision in Helling v McKinney (1993), which is factually on-all-fours with Petitioner's underlying case; since Helling v McKinney resulted from a similar well-supported prisoner's Writ of Certiorari based on substantially similar issues of national interests concerning unconstitutional conditions of confinement in a correctional facility due to inadequate ventilation.
-
Whether the attached totally baseless decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit reflects a gross misapprehension or disregard for well-documented evidence presented by Petitioner in total opposition to the Respondent's Motion for Summary Judgment as to the Respondents' longstanding and well-documented wilful failure to provide adequate ventilation in wilful violation of controlling state statutory correctional safety regulations and in wilful deprivation of Petitioner's 8th Amendment Constitutional rights.
-
Whether the attached totally baseless decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit reflects a gross misapprehension or disregard for well-documented evidence and controlling federal law presented by Petitioner concerning the proper qualifications of his proffered legal expert and his legal expert opinions relative to the Respondents' said wilful and longstanding liability through their wilful failure to provide adequate ventilation in wilful non-compliance with controlling state statutory correctional safety regulations and in wilful violation of Petitioner's 8th Amendment Constitutional rights; all of which was presented by Petitioner in total opposition to the Respondents' Summary Judgment Motion and is meaningfully void in the said attached baseless decision.
