Questions presented

This petition addresses the latest affirmation decision rendered by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit concerning the sixth of six related federal cases filed in the U.S. District Court for the District Court of New Jersey. In the six cases, the four presiding district judges committed a combined 60+ judiciary violations (the latest presiding district judge committed at least 11) which deprived me of due process and which the Third Circuit affirmed. In the six related appellate cases, the Third Circuit used some of the very same judiciary violations as support for its affirmation decisions, as well as disregarded important sections of my proffered facts and legal arguments. Significantly, no opposing party had ever disputed with specificity any of my proffered key facts, such as the 60+ judiciary violations, and few of the legal arguments that support my deprivation-of-due process allegations. This petition constitutes my fourth petition to this Court — the prior three had been denied. I[ allege that that the Third Circuit affirmed two district court decisions which deprived me of due process. As such, the pertinent questions are:

  1. Does this Court need to intercede because the lower courts have deviated substantially from the norm in judicial proceedings?

  2. Did the judges in the lower courts act impartially?
