IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 25-2103 · judgment May 26, 2026
Questions presented
-
Whether a United States Court of Appeals may issue its mandate a litigant timely files a Petition for Panel Rehearing and Rehearing En banc Pursuant to Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure 35 and 40, without first entering an identifiable Judicial order disposing of that petition, consistent with Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 41 and the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment.
-
Whether a United States Court of Appeals may preclude consideration of a timely Petition for Panel Rehearing and Rehearing En Banc by declaring that it "will not entertain any further filings in this closed case" notwithstanding the rights afforded by Federal Rules of Appellate Procedures 35 and 40
-
Whether the absence of an identifiable order granting, denying, rejecting, striking or otherwise disposing of a timely Petition for Panel Rehearing and Rehearing En Banc, before issuance of the mandate, deprives a litigant of meaningful access to review by this Court.
