Questions presented

  1. Whether a federal court may dismiss a pro se civil action for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction, ra­ ther than permit ordinary merits analysis or amend­ ment, where the pleadings and supplemental submis­ sions invoke federal law, challenge conduct by both sovereign and nonsovereign actors, and are not wholly insubstantial or frivolous.

  2. Whether due process and this Court’s pro se precedents permit affirmance after clerk-recognized filing irregularities, mislabeled electronic-filing op­ tions, and repeated requests to correct or supplement the record, without a meaningful opportunity to cure procedural defects.

  3. Whether a court of appeals may deny all pend­ ing motions and maintain broad provisional sealing of appellate filings where the sealing and docketing pro­ cess itself allegedly impaired the litigant’s access to the record and meaningful preparation of further re­ view.
