QUESTIONS PRESENTED FOR REVIEW
SCOTUS Rule 10(a) - Whether or not a Circuit
Split has arisen between the Fourth Circuit and other
Circuits over the interpretation of whether crimes
allegedly “committed on occasions different from one
another” [See 18 U.S.C. §924(e)(l)] become
simultaneous crimes if the directly-associated arrest
warrants for those sequential alleged crimes were
sworn out and/or served simultaneously.
SCOTUS Rule 10(a) - Whether or not a Circuit
Split has arisen between the Fourth Circuit and both
this SCOTUS and the Fourth Circuit itself over the
Federal Court Practice (FRCP Rule 56; U.S.
Amendment VII Right to Trial by Jury) of viewing all
facts in a Summary Judgment Proceeding and
drawing any justifiable inferences from those facts in
the light most favorable to the non-moving party when
deciding if there exists genuine issues as to any
material fact requiring a Trial by Jury.
SCOTUS Rule 10(c) - [Petitioner] moves this
[SCOTUS] as he did the [VAED & Fourth Circuit] for
a Declaratory Judgment that Virginia is in violation of
the U.S. Guarantee Clause so [the U.S.] Congress
might act by applying the U.S. Guarantee Clause
against Virginia’s 1971 Constitution of Virginia,
Article VI which establishes an Unrepublican Form of
Government because Sections 1 & 2 are in violation of
the U.S. Supremacy Clause and Section 7 is in
violation of Duncan v. McCall. 139 U.S. 449, 461, 11
S.Ct. 573, 577 (1891).
ii
SUBSIDIARY QUESTIONS FAIRLY INCLUDED
(FOURTH CIRCUIT DOCUMENT #10 - Pgs. 1, 3)
SCOTUS Rule 14.1(a) - Whether or not the [VAED]
Abused its Discretion in granting Summary Judgment
on the entire case after discussing Summary
Judgment on only one of the two police officers [VSP
Trooper Houtz & VSP Sergeant Allander] and only one
of the three [6/1/15 false] warrants.
SCOTUS Rule 14.1(a) - Whether or not an Evasive
Defendant State Police Officer is unlawful using the
County Criminal Justice System and his State Police
Force to effect an advantage in a Federal Civil Action
simply because [Plaintiff / Appellant] had him
privately served a Summons with Complaint [in a
3/6/15-filed VAED Civil Action].
SCOTUS Rule 14.1(a) - [Plaintiff / Appellant] moves
this [Fourth Circuit] as he did the [VAED] for a
Declaratory Judgment that Virginia is in violation of
the U.S. Guarantee Clause so [the U.S.] Congress
might act by applying the U.S. Guarantee Clause
against Virginia’s 1971 Constitution of Virginia,
Article VI which establishes an Unrepublican Form of
Government because Sections 1 & 2 are in violation of
the U.S. Supremacy Clause and Section 7 is in
violation of Duncan v. McCall. 139 U.S. 449, 461, 11
S.Ct. 573, 577 (1891).
SCOTUS Rule 14.1(a) - Whether or not the VAED’s
5/24/19 Order was Unconstitutional because it
annulled Appellant’s indefeasible Constitution of
iii
Virginia, Article I, Section 3 Right to reform, alter, or
abolish the Virginia Government(s).
(VAED DOCUMENT #35 - Pages 5-6, 49)
SCOTUS Rule 14.1(a) - Plaintiffs 4/16/18 First
Amended Complaint has two errors in Paragraph 16
which he moves this [VAED] for Leave to [C]orrect
through Amendment herein which, also by Leave of
[VAED], refers back to the original Complaint’s
3/28/18 filing date:
“16. Defendant knew that Plaintiffs attempts
to effect service on the elusive litigant in the
unrelated previous civil matter were not
violations of any law, nor could they reasonably
be construed as such, and thus Defendant did
not have probable cause to believe that Plaintiff
[not ‘Defendant’] committed any criminal
offense when Defendant [not ‘he’] made
statements that probable cause existed for
warrants on the above-referenced charges.”
SCOTUS Rule 14.1(a) - Plaintiff moves this [VAED]
for a Declaratory Judgment that Virginia is in
violation of the U.S. Guarantee Clause so [the U.S.]
Congress might act by applying the U.S. Guarantee
Clause against Virginia’s 1971 Constitution of
Virginia, Article VI which establishes an
Unrepublican Form of Government because Sections 1
& 2 are in violation of the U.S. Supremacy Clause and
Section 7 is in violation of Duncan u. McCall, 139 U.S.
449, 461, 11 S.Ct. 573, 577 (1891).
iv
SCOTUS Rule 14.1(a) - Plaintiff moves this
[VAED] for Sanctions against defendant Vega in the
amount of $145,505.48 (Virginia Taxes paid since
12/03) or $25,924.56 (Virginia Taxes paid since
6/1/15) at the [VAED’s] discretion [add to each
amount another year of Real Estate Taxes since
5/22/19 or $5,887].
LIST OF PARTIES
1) Gregory Shawn Mercer, Petitioner, pro se, is a
citizen and resident of Virginia living at 3114
Borge Street, Oakton, Virginia, 22124,
gregorysmercer@gmail.com, 202-431-9401.
2) Eliezel A. Vega, Respondent, is a citizen and
resident of Virginia to the best information of
Petitioner on or about 4/16/18 and is
represented by the Virginia Attorney General.
Herein, E.A. Vega is referred to as
“Respondent” or “Respondent Vega.” E. A.
Vega is a Respondent in his individual capacity
based on serving as a Virginia State Police
(herein and hereafter “VSP”) Special Agent on
or about 6/1/15.
Respondent’s Attorney in the VAED
(after a 6/14/18 Appearance) and in the Fourth
Circuit was Sandra Snead Gregor, Esquire
(VSB No. 47421), Assistant Attorney General,
Office of the Virginia Attorney General, 202
North 9th Street, Richmond, Virginia, 23219,
sgregor@oag.state.va.us,
(804)-786-1586
(Telephone), (804)-371-2087 (Facsimile).
3) Dawson, P.L.C. Respondent, is the firm
Petitioner contracted with for representation on
3/6/18 with what became VAED Case No. 1:18cv-346-LO-TCB on and after 3/28/18. Herein,
Dawson, P.L.C. is referred to as “Dawson,
P.L.C.” Petitioner paid SW Dawson who works
at Dawson, P.L.C. $22,500 on 3/6/18 for
Dawson, P.L.C. to “put forth its best effort for a
successful resolution of [Petitioner’s] pending
legal matters.” Herein, SW Dawson is referred
to as “SW Dawson.” The Appendix has in
Fourth Circuit DOCUMENT #10 on pages 6673 an “Affidavit of Appellant Gregory Shawn
Mercer” with attachments including the 3/6/18
“Fee Agreement” which further explain that
Dawson, P.L.C. through SW Dawson did not
“put forth its best effort for successful
resolution of’ VAED Case No. l:18-cv-346-LOTCB.
After losing in a Summary Judgment
Proceeding on 4/24/19 where Petitioner’s
complete Disputed Statement of Facts was not
presently timely in the VAED by Dawson
P.L.C., Petitioner was forced to ask SW Dawson
to withdraw on 5/22/19 in order that Petitioner
could file his pro se FRCP Rule 59 Motion that
SW Dawson refused to file while representing
Petitioner. SW Dawson described Petitioner’s
FRCP Rule 59 Motion as “rife with irrelevant
and demonstrably incorrect information” and
vi
impeached it as “objectively frivolous” thus “not
a pleading counsel would be ethically permitted
to file.” SW Dawson encouraged Petitioner to
file his FRCP Rule 59 Motion on the 29th day
which would have been untimely by one day.
Petitioner’s legal malpractice action against
Dawson, P.L.C. with vicarious liability or other
liability theory to reach SW Dawson accrues if
Petitioner wins this appeal in the SCOTUS.
Justice demands SW Dawson explain
himself to Petitioner or face Sanctions of some
sort. Petitioner herein moves this SCOTUS for
Sanctions against Dawson, P.L.C.. Petitioner
paid $7,000 (for a 7/5/07 Forensic Tape
Examination Expert’s Report), $2,625 (for a
5/4/16 Forensic Tape Examination Expert’s
Certified Report); plus $22,500 (for the 3/6/18
Fee Agreement); plus $505 (5/24/19 Fourth
Circuit fee); plus $1,762.50 (August of 2019
Professional Investigation of the 3/26/07 to
3/27/07 Jury for Fairfax County Circuit Court
Case No. MI-2006-2302); plus $300 (SCOTUS
fee); plus copying/printing fees still being
determined
(approximately
$2,500)
or
$37,192.50. During the delay, experts have
retired/died and been or might need to be
replaced.
SW Dawson’s office appears on VAED
DOCUMENT #27-1 as 999 Waterside Drive,
Suite 2525, Norfolk, Virginia 23510 but
DAWSON, P.L.C. has a P.O. Box, Norfolk,
Virginia,
23501,
swd@dawsonplc. com,
757.282.6601 (Telephone), and 757.282.6617
vii
(Fax). Petitioner will have or already has
served three copies of this Petition for Writ of
Certiorari on Dawson, P.L.C. by Private Process
Server on or about 7/2/20. If this SCOTUS
dismisses this Respondent, Petitioner moves
this SCOTUS dismiss “without prejudice” so
that Petitioner doesn’t have issues pursuing
any legal malpractice cause of action he has at
the conclusion of this appeal in lieu of
reasonable Sanctions herein moved which this
SCOTUS may or may not grant.
4) The Honorable Mark Herring, Respondent, 202
North 9th Street, Richmond, Virginia, 23219,
mailoag@oag.state.va.us, (804)-786-2071. In
accordance to SCOTUS Rules 14.1(e)(v) &
29.4(c), Petitioner states, “28 U.S.C. §2403(b)
may apply.” Petitioner states in accordance
with SCOTUS Rule 29.4(c) and the definition of
“any Court of the United States” from 28 U.S.C.
§451 that neither the U.S. District Court for the
Eastern District of Virginia (herein and
hereafter “VAED”) nor the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (herein and
hereafter “Fourth Circuit”) certified to the
Virginia Attorney General the fact that the
constitutionality with
respect to
the
Constitution of the United States of the 1971
Constitution of Virginia, Article VI, Sections 1,
2, & 7 were drawn into question previously in
either court for Mercer u. Vega, VAED, Case No.
l:18-cv-346-LO-TCB
Fourth
(5/24/19);
Circuit, Case No. 19-1584 (2/3/20).

CORPORATE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
Petitioner’s previous DOCUMENT #12 filed
7/22/19 (Disclosure of Corporate Affiliations) in Mercer
v. Vega. Fourth Circuit, Case No. 19-1584 (2/3/20)
stated that there is no parent corporation nor any
publicly held company that owns 10% of anything
associated with pro se Petitioner. But Petitioner has
a mortgage. Petitioner spoke with a SCOTUS Clerk on
4/20/20 for further direction. Since Petitioner is not a
corporation, he has no corporate disclosures to make.

JURISDICTION
The bases for jurisdiction in this SCOTUS from
VAED DOCUMENT #4 filed 4/16/18 (First Amended
Complaint, Paragraph 1) are pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§1331 (Federal Question) because it arises under the
Constitution and laws of the United States and
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1343(a)(3) (Civil Rights and
Elective Franchise) because the aforementioned
Amended Complaint was a Civil Action against
Respondent for Deprivation of Rights pursuant to 42
U.S.C. §1983 (Civil Action for Deprivation of Rights)
alleging three violations of Petitioner’s U.S.
Amendment IV & XTV Rights under color of State
law by Respondent, a VSP Special Agent on 6/1/15.
Petitioner’s aforementioned Amended Complaint had
three potential Jury Questions. Because this is an
appeal from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Fourth Circuit, 28 U.S.C. §1254(1) (Courts of
Appeal; Certiorari; Certified Questions) is now
included as a basis for jurisdiction.
3
Because there is simultaneously a pending case
Mercer u. Commonwealth of Virginia & County of
Fairfax. Fairfax County, Virginia Circuit Court, Case
No. MI-2018-1766 (1/15/19); Court of Appeals of
Virginia, Record No. 0135-19-4 (1/27/20), Supreme
Court of Virginia, Record No. 200331 (Filed 2/26/20;
Briefing Ended 3/21/20) in the Supreme Court of
Virginia concerning the constitutionality with
respect to the U.S. Guarantee Clause of the 1971
Constitution of Virginia, Article VI, Section 7 only
(which overlaps the SCOTUS Rule 10(c) Question of
Exceptional Importance above), 28 U.S.C §1257(a)
(State Courts; Certiorari) and 28 U.S.C. §1367(a)
(Supplemental Jurisdiction) are included as a bases
for jurisdiction possibly expediting a decision in the
Supreme Court of Virginia and/or for any possibility of
the joinder of parties/cases. This case is a Parking
Ticket Case involving an engine replacement alleging
that Petitioner who is not a City resident cannot
receive a fair and impartial trial for a Criminal
Prosecution in a Virginia State or County Court
because
Virginia
has
a
racially-inspired
Confederate Police Government which does not
enforce Virginia Rights nor Federal Rights. Virginia
has an Unrepublican Form of Government.

CONSICE STATEMENT OF THE CASE
Petitioner’s 6/28/20 “Application to the Circuit
Justice (Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr.) for a Rule
33.1(d) Expansion of the Rule 33.1(g) Word Limit in
Excess of 9,000 Words in a Petition for Writ of
Certiorari Due on 7/2/20 in Compliance with Rule
33.1(d) Due to Hardship” was denied on 7/13/20.
Petitioner was given 60 days to comply with the 9,000Word Limit by 7/14/20 letter from the Clerk of the
Court or until 9/12/20. Petitioner rewrites without
new argument only this Page 12 with Subsequent
Pages 13 through 61 adding Documents: “Q” (means
5/22/19 VAED Document #35-1); “R” (means 5/22/19
VAED Document #35-2); and “S” (means 5/22/19
VAED Document #35-3) to the Tables of Contents on
Previous Pages xvii to xix and also Subsequent
Pages A-l to A-3 such that all other Roman Numeral
13
Pages and Appendix Pages with (A-#’s) at the top of
the Appendix Pages remain unchanged. Petitioner’s
9/12/20 Corrected Petition for Writ of Certiorari to the
United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
consists of Replacement Pages to his original 7/2/20
Petition for Writ of Certiorari to the United States
Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit already served
on Respondents in triplicate but will be filed as one
complete original copy in the SCOTUS on or before
9/12/20.
As Petitioner did in his 7/15/19 “Informal
Opening Brief and Affidavit” on Page [J12], he adopts
by reference and incorporates herein as if rewritten
verbatim all Summary Judgment Proceeding
Documents from VAED Case No. l:18-cv-346 hereat:
the following Appendix attached hereto in its entirety,
U.S District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia
(herein “VAED”) Documents, and U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (herein “Fourth
Circuit”) Documents. VAED Documents: #1, #3, #4,
#15, #19, #20, #27, #27-1, #28, #29, #30, #31, #33, #34,
#35, #35-1, #35-2, #35-3, #39, #40; Fourth Circuit
Documents: #3, #8, #10, #12, #13, #14, #15, #17, #18,
#19, #20, #21, #22-1, #22-2, #23, #25, #26, #27, #28,
#29.
Petitioner assigns letter codes to 19 of these
Appendix (is “A”), VAED, and Fourth Circuit
Documents: VAED Documents: #4 is “B,” #20 is “C,”
#27 is “D,” #27-1 is “E,” #28 is “F,” #29 is “G,” #35 is
“H,” #35-1 is “Q,” #35-2 is “R,” #35-3 is “S,” and #40 is
“I.” Fourth Circuit Documents: #10 is “J,” #14 is
“K,” #17-19 are “L,” #20 is “M,” #21 is “N,” #23, 26-27
14
are “O,” and #28 is “P.” Petitioner thinks he only
refers to thirteen Documents: D, E, G, H, I, J, K, L,
O, Q, R, and S.
Life has a few bright lines that when crossed
create new governments. U.S. Amendments IV & V
were adopted in response to the abuse of the Writs of
Assistance, a type of general Search Warrant issued
by the British Government, and a major source of
tension in pre-Revolutionary America.
History repeats itself. Herein, the Virginia
State Police (herein and hereafter “VSP”) violated
Petitioner’s U.S. Amendments IV, V, & XTV Rights
with three 6/1/15 False Warrants associated with
sequential alleged and false crimes assumed to occur
on 3/3/15, 5/15/15, & 5/31/15 [A294-295, 308, 321,324328, 331-335, 353-364, C9, Dl, E4, 17, 19-23, 26-30,
H17-25, J30-32, L32-38, 55-57], These three 6/1/15
False Warrants were sworn without Probable Cause
in vindictive retaliation for Petitioner following FRCP
Rule 4 during a 3/6/15-filed VAED Civil Action (VAED
Case No. l:15-cv-302) against two VSP Officers.
These two VSP Officers (a Trooper and a Sergeant)
were served Summonses with Complaints on 5/22/15
[A359, 531-534, 544-549, H21-22, L35, R32-33, 4042] and 5/31/15 [A359-363, 528-531, 535-544, H2224, L35-37, R30-31, 34-39], The latter VSP Sergeant
evaded a Professional Process Server on 5/27/15
contrary to Code of Virginia §18.2-409 so Petitioner
accompanied a Private Process Server on 5/31/15 in
order to identify this VSP Sergeant to the Private
Process Server [A358-360, 550-557, 581-582, C9
(Paragraph 47), H3-5, 21-22, J68-69 (includes
15
Petitioner’s e-mail for an adequate response to
C9 Paragraph 47 sent by Petitioner to his
attorney SW Dawson, Esquire working for
Respondent Dawson, P.L.C.), L35-36, R43-47].
Petitioner had all these Summonses with his
Complaints served in accordance with FRCP Rule 4
[A260-262].
Respondent Vega has argued that
Petitioner did not serve the two VSP Officers in the
specific manners preferred, suggested, or ordered by
VSP Personnel which FRCP Rule 4 did/does not
require of Petitioner when having his VSP Federal
Defendants served Summonses with Complaints. The
as-of-5/31/15 VSP Federal Defendants tried to
intercept the Proof of Service Paperwork for the
5/31/15 Service of the evading VSP Sergeant before
that VAED paperwork reached the VAED. The
Private Process Server with his Private Process
Server’s Affidavit filed the VAED Proof of Service
Paperwork in the VAED on 6/2/15 [A360-363, 535544, H22-24, L36-37, R34-39],
After a hasty VSP investigation which included
the same two VSP Trooper and Sergeant involved in
both Fairfax County Case No. MI-2006-2302 (6/1/07)
and VAED Case No. l:15-cv-302 (2/11/16) [A296-297,
321-324, CIO, D2-3, E17-19, H23, J16-17, 20-22,
L36] and which included, by justifiable inference,
physical possession of the two 5/22/15-served &
5/31/15-served
Summonses
with
Petitioner’s
Complaints from the latter of the two cases alleging
Fraud by the two VSP Officers in the first case,
Respondent Vega swore three 6/1/15 False Warrants
for Identity Theft (x2) [R6-9] and Stalking [R10-11]
(the Fourth 6/1/15 False Warrant was later Nolle
16
Prosequied [R4-5]) without Probable Cause violating
Petitioner’s U.S. Amendment IV & XIV Rights in
order to intercept the VAED Service Paperwork by
Falsely Arresting then Unlawfully Imprisoning
Petitioner from 6/6/15 to 6/9/15 in the Fairfax County
Adult Detention Center (hereafter “FCADC”).
Additionally, during Petitioner’s false arrest and
unlawful imprisonment, the VSP unconstitutionally
seized Petitioner’s phones/computers from his car on
6/6/15 and townhouse on 6/8/15 without supplying him
with a necessary 6/6/15 Inventory List (Due Process)
required for the return of his electronics in accordance
with U.S. Amendments V & XTV [A360-364, H2325, L36-38].
Petitioner was tried in Fairfax County General
District Court and was acquitted of the 3/3/15, 5/15/15,
& 5/31/15 alleged crimes on 3/31/16. Petitioner sued
Respondent Vega (VAED Case No. l:18-cv-346), the
VSP Special Agent who swore the three 6/1/15 False
Warrants, in his individual capacity in a 3/28/18-filed
VAED Civil Action alleging U.S. Amendment IV &
XIV Violations [A286-293, Bl-6, H2]. The VAED
contrary to the Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, and Tenth
Circuits made an ABUSE OF DISCRETION by
treating the three sequential alleged crimes
“committed on occasions different from one another
(See 18 U.S.C. §924(e)(l) [A218-219])” associated with
three 6/1/15 simultaneously-sworn then 6/6/15
simultaneously-served Warrants as simultaneous
alleged crimes not sequential alleged crimes.
Assumed Probable Cause for any one of the three
alleged 3/3/15, 5/15/15, & 5/31/15 simultaneous
crimes then destroyed all three of Petitioner’s claims
17
and Potential Jury Questions of U.S. Amendment IV
& XTV Rights Violations. This was not Equal
Justice Under Law.
The VAED justified its erroneous 4/24/19
GRANT of Summary Judgment for the entire case
[Gl-9] as follows. Smith v. McCluskev. 126 F. App’x

separate predicate convictions under § 924(e)(1). . . .

Petitioner presented the fact that “... on more
than one occasion [one] engages in conduct ...
[A242-245]” is language found in the Virginia
Stalking Ordinance (Code of Virginia, §60.3) chosen by
Respondent Vega for an alleged charge against
Petitioner. Similar language is found in 18 U.S.C.
§924(e)(l) “... committed on occasions different
from one another ... [A218-219].”
Petitioner
presented on Pleading Page [D7] the following: “’On
this evidence alone, [a] prudent person would not have
believed that Plaintiff had committed or was
committing a violation of [the Code of Virginia, §] 18.260.3, as this code section clearly states that, “on more
than one occasion [one] engages in conduct directed at
another person with the intent to place, or when he
knows or reasonably should know that the conduct
places that other person in reasonable fear of death,
criminal sexual assault, or bodily injury.’ Va. Code
Ann. 18.2-60.3 [A242-245].”
This ABUSE OF DISCRETION by the VAED
led the VAED to accept Respondent’s Totality of the
Circumstances Argument based on Fraudulent
Probable Cause [A340-352, 364-371, 400-518, H6-16,
20
26-31, L24-30, 38-41, Q4-43] for one of the three
6/1/15 False Warrant (the False Stalking Warrant)
then GRANT Respondent’s Motion for Summary
Judgment (herein and hereafter “MS J”) on all three of
Petitioner’s potential Jury Questions concerning U.S.
Amendment IV & XTV Violations [A32-45, Gl-9 and
specifically G6]. The Footnote 1 on Page G8 states,
“Because the analysis may end after determining
there was probable cause to support the stalking
charge, this Court does not reach the merits of
probable cause on the other charges [A42, G8].” But
these three sequential alleged crimes were separable
alleged crimes concerning three (not one) Potential
Jury Questions. If one Jury Question failed, the other
two Jury Questions still needed to be decided at a Trial
by a Jury. In Cooley u. Leung. 637 Fed. Appx 1005 (9th
Cir., 2/4/2016) (“Jury question existed as to whether
police officers reasonably believed motorist, . . ., could
have been armed and dangerous, as would justify pat
search, precluding summary judgment in favor of
officers on basis of qualified immunity with respect to
pat search in motorist’s § 1983 action.”) [A83]. The
VAED’s 4/24/19 Memorandum Opinion [Gl-9] was not
equal Justice Under Law.
After initiating this first “Circuit Split,” the
VAED contrary to the SCOTUS and Fourth Circuit
made CLEAR ERROR by failing to view Petitioner’s
complete, belated, fairly-presented-as-an-Affidavit-ofPlaintiff-Gregory-Shawn-Mercer Disputed Statement
of Facts in Petitioner’s pro se “FRCP Rule 59 Motion
for New Trial; Altering or Amending a Judgment /
/ Three Additional Motions on Pages 5-6 and
Paragraphs 188 & 189 [VAED Document #35 -
21
A339-399, H6-49, L24-54]” then drawing any
justifiable inferences from those facts in the light most
favorable to the Petitioner in the 2019 Summary
Judgment Proceeding when deciding if there existed
genuine issues as to any material fact requiring a
Trial by Jury. The VAED had denied Petitioner’s U.S.
Amendment VII Right to a Trial by Jury (not
Bench) initiating the second “Circuit Split” in an act
of Manifest Injustice which accepted the VSP’s
Fraudulent Probable Cause used against Petitioner
for one of the three 6/1/15 False Warrants, the False
Stalking Warrant. The VAED had even footnoted its
Erroneous Judgment [A42, G8] that made three
sequential alleged crimes sworn/served with three
simultaneous Warrants into three simultaneous
alleged crimes ignoring the sequential nature of two
of those alleged crimes. The VAED’s ABUSE OF
DISCRETION clearly justified review of Petitioner’s
FRCP Rule 59 Motion for New Trial; Alterins or
Amendins a Judgment because it might have
corrected the VAED’s Abuse of Discretion. The VAED
even reviewed then DENIED that FRCP Rule 59
Motion on 5/24/19 [A188-189, 11] just before
Petitioner filed his 5/24/19 Notice of Appeal [VAED
Document #41]. Petitioner had to file his 6/3/19
Amended Notice of Appeal [VAED Document #48] to
include this 5/24/19 VAED Order [VAED Document
#40 — II] in his Fourth Circuit Appeal. This was not
Equal Justice Under Law.
The Fourth Circuit and this SCOTUS have
already ruled about procedures in Summary
Judgment Proceedings. Anderson v. Liberty Lobby.
Inc.. All U.S. 242, 248-49, 106 S.Ct 2505, 91 L.Ed.2d
22
202 (1986) (“A fact is material when proof of its
existence or nonexistence would affect the outcome of
the case, and an issue is genuine if a reasonable jury

judgment has the initial burden of establishing the
basis for its motion and identifying the evidence which

initial burden, the opposite party may show, by means
of affidavits or other verified evidence, that there
exists a genuine dispute of material fact.”) [A102-103,

nonmoving party.”) [A157-158, G5-6, H5, 32, 50, J40,
L42, 024],
In the Fourth Circuit and in August of 2019,
Petitioner investigated the Jury from Mercer u.
Commonwealth of Virginia. Fairfax County Circuit
Court Case No. MI-2006-2302, which is the basis of
Respondent Vega’s Fraudulent Probable Cause used
to justify the third 6/1/15 False Warrant (the False
Stalking Warrant). This Fairfax County Circuit Court
Case Falsely Convicted Petitioner on 3/27/07 of
Assaulting and Battering one of the two VSP Officers
and the VSP Trooper which Petitioner sued in his
3/6/2015-filed VAED Case No. l:15-cv-302. In the twoday Fairfax County Circuit Court Jury Trial with
23
seven Jurors beginning on 3/26/07, Juror Esther S.
Verona (after learning the full names of the other six
Jurors) went home to her husband Dr. Jack Verona
who on 10/11/11 was recognized in the U.S. House of
Representatives by Representative Gerry Connolly for
his work in the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) as
a CIA Source for psychic spying, psychokinesis,
parapsychology, weapons research, and mind control
[A594-598, L22-24], Dr. Jack Verona had been used
as a Jury Tampering Expert against Petitioner on
3/26/07 & 3/27/07. This New Evidence of a Jury
Tampering Expert used against Petitioner in his
Fairfax County Circuit Court Case along with the
Edited and Obstructed 3/26/07 Appellate Record from
that Mercer v. Commonwealth of Virginia. Fairfax
County Circuit Court Case No. MI-2006-2302 being
relied upon by Petitioner in his subsequent appeals
was an act of Manifest Injustice against Petitioner
furthered in his failed appeals to the Court of
Appeals of Virginia, Record No. 0828-07-4 (decided
2/18/09); Supreme Court of Virginia, Record No.
090536 (decided 9/22/09); and SCOTUS, Case No. 098206, certiorari denied (decided 6/7/10).
Respondent Vega has pled in the Fourth Circuit
and Petitioner fully accepts, “A Rule 59(e) motion [the
denial of which is reviewed for abuse of discretion]
may only be granted in three situations: (1) to
accommodate an intervening change in controlling
law; (2) to account for new evidence not available at
trial; or (3) to correct a clear error of law or prevent
manifest injustice.” Melendez v. Sebelius. 611 Fed.
App’x. 762 (4th Cir. 2015) (quoting Mayfield v. Nat’l
Ass’n for Stock Car Auto Racins. Inc.. 674 F.3d 369,
24
378 (4th Cir. 2012) (internal quotation marks
omitted)) [K28].” Herein, Petitioner has pled: (1) New
Evidence; (2) Clear Error; and (3) Preventing a
Manifest Injustice when moving the VAED, Fourth
Circuit, and/or now the SCOTUS to GRANT his
5/24/19 FRCP Rule 59 Motion for New Trial; Altering
or Amending a Judgment / / Three Additional Motions
on Pages 5-6 and Paragraphs 188 & 189 [VAED
Document #35 - A337-574, Hl-53, Ql-43, Rl-58,
Sl-44].” The use of Jury Tampering Experts is an
authoritarian act when perpetrated by the Fairfax
County and/or Virginia governments. The criminal
trials of the Officers who through Police Misconduct
killed George Floyd [A283-284] and Rayshard Brooks
[A284-286] along with more recent deaths involving
Police Misconduct depend on this SCOTUS to prevent
Jury Tampering Experts like Dr. Jack Verona from
succeeding in perpetrating this kind of Manifest
Injustice. There must be Equal Justice Under Law.
Please note the following typos were found in
Petitioner’s Disputed Statement of Facts [VAED
Document #35 - A339-399, H6-49, L24-54]. There
were three minor corrections made to Petitioner’s
Disputed Statement of Facts as it moved through the
Fourth Circuit and arrived in the SCOTUS which are
identified in Paragraphs/Sections 33, 120, & 134. See
[A347, 369, & 374] for details. Also “Posequied”
became P[r]osequied (Paragraph #38 on [A349]) and
“Sergeznt” became Serge[a]nt (Paragraph #137 on
[A374]).
Question of Exceptional Importance
25
Life has a few bright lines that when crossed
create new governments. This Petition presents just
this situation. A Police Officer swears out a Warrant
before a Magistrate who, in turn, decides if Probable
Cause exists then, if so, issues the Police Officer a
Warrant to be served on the Defendant. It is implied
that the Magistrate is a Judge acting with the interest
of protecting the Civil Rights of that Defendant.
However, Respondent Vega swore out 6/1/15 Warrants
against Petitioner two of which were for Identity Theft
Warrants for violating the Code of Virginia, § 18.2186.3 [A245-248]. He extremely clearly was without
Probable Cause. This needs further analysis.
To have Probable Cause for one of these
Identity Theft Warrant against Petitioner,
Respondent Vega had to swear before the Fairfax
County Magistrate that Petitioner gained Identifying
Information about the specific Victim of the Identity
Theft and that this Victim suffered a financial loss as
a result of that Identity Theft. Fairfax County
Magistrate Wilson Talavera issued Respondent Vega
two 6/1/15 Identity Theft Warrants to be served on
Petitioner.
However, Respondent Vega was
subsequently deposed on 12/12/18 about what
Probable Cause he had presented to Fairfax County
Magistrate Wilson Talavera on 6/1/15 in order to be
issued the two 6/1/15 Identity Theft Warrants against
Petitioner by Fairfax County Magistrate Wilson
Talavera [A598-607, L54-61].
What becomes quickly apparent after reading
the pages referred to in [A598-607, L54-61] is that
Fairfax County Magistrate Wilson Talavera never
26
heard Respondent Vega swear sufficient Probable
Cause for these two 6/1/15 Identity Theft Warrants
because Respondent Vega never had any Probable
Cause for these two Identity Theft Warrants. Here is
how extremely clearly Respondent Vega described his
Probable Cause for the Identity Theft Warrant with
Victim VSP Trooper Houtz and for which Fairfax
County Magistrate Wilson Talavera issued a Warrant
to Respondent Vega to serve on Petitioner which
occurred 6/6/15:
Respondent Vega - “For that one, it would
have been trooper Houtz.”
SW Dawson - “And what was Trooper Houtz’s
financial loss as a result of that?”
Respondent Vega - “I don’t believe he
suffered any.”
SW Dawson - “And what information did Mr.
Mercer obtain in that event?”
Respondent Vega - “None.”
SW Dawson - “He obtained no information?”
Respondent Vega - “Correct.”
For the second Identity Theft Warrant with
Victim Ibrahim Fetterolf, Respondent Vega testified,
“He did. What he obtained was that Sergeant
Allander wasn’t working at the time” Knowing
information about VSP Sergeant Allander for an
Identity Theft Charge with Victim Private Process
Server Fetterolf is not valid for Probable Cause. In
accordance with Virginia Code §18.2-186.3 (“It shall
27
be unlawful for any
person, without the
authorization or permission of the person or
persons who are the subjects of the identifying
information”) [A245-248].
Fairfax County
Magistrate Wilson Talavera issued two 6/1/15 Identity
Theft Warrants to Respondent Vega against
Petitioner simply because Respondent Vega was a
VSP Special Agent and Respondent Vega as a Police
Officer
requested these
6/1/15 Identity Theft
Warrants. This is what demonstrates that Virginia
and Fairfax County have Unrepublican Governments!
History
explains more
about this Virginia
Unrepublican Form of Government.
Virginia has a Confederate Police Government
which can be traced back through history [A381-399,
H39-49, L46-54],
There have been seven
Constitutions of Virginia (1776, 1830, 1850, unratified
1864, 1870, unratified 1902, and 1971) [A212]. Only
one of these Constitutions allowed the People to elect
State, County, and City Judges, the 1850 Constitution
of Virginia. This is important. In a Democracy,
People are protected from Government with Rights.
When one Person violates another Person’s Rights in
a Democracy, the second Person can sue the first
Person in a Court of Law where a Judge decides
whether or not to enforce the specified Right. Judges
protect Rights in a Democracy or Constitutional
Republic and the People’s ability to select their own
Judges is paramount to protecting the Democracy or
Constitutional Republic. Otherwise, Government is
protected from the People by Denying Rights which is
a Confederacy.
28
This was decided by the SCOTUS in Duncan
v. McCall. 139 U.S. 449, 461, 11 S.Ct. 573, 577 (1891).
“By the constitution, a republican form of government
is guarantied (sic. - guaranteed) to every state in the
Union, and the distinguishing feature of that form is
the right of the people to choose their own officers for
governmental administration, ... [A85-86].” With the
exception of the 1850 Constitution of Virginia, the
Virginia General Assembly has always chosen
Virginia State, County, and City Judges. Virginia has
become Unrepublican in Form as will be further
explained.
When the U.S. Civil War broke out in 1861,
Virginia’s western 50 counties separated to become
West Virginia whose 1863 Constitution of West
Virginia, Article I, Section 1 stated, “The State of
West Virginia shall be and remain one of the United
States of America. The Constitution of the United
States, and the laws and treaties made in pursuance
thereof, shall be the supreme law of the land [A193].”
West Virginia defined what a Confederacy in America
is by its lack of respect for the U.S. Supremacy
Clause.
American Confederacies do not respect the U.S.
Supremacy Clause (Compare the following with the
previous paragraph), “This Constitution, and the
Laws of the United States which shall be made in
Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which
shall be made, under the Authority of the United
States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the
Judges of every State shall be bound thereby, any
29
Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the
Contrary notwithstanding [A218].”
The 1864 Constitution of Virginia was not
ratified by the People. Virginia lost the U.S. Civil War
on 4/9/1865. The U.S. Congress applied the U.S.
Guarantee Clause to the 11 previously Confederate
States so at least all males could vote instead of all
white males could vote [A643-646].
The U.S.
Guarantee Clause states, “The United States shall
guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican
Form of Government, and shall protect each of them
against Invasion; and on Application of the
Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature
cannot be convened) against domestic Violence [A217218].”
Lincoln Emancipated the African American
Slaves in a Proclamation made on 1/1/1863 [A193194], U.S. Amendment XTV was ratified on
7/28/1868 [A214-216], and U.S. Amendment XV was
ratified on 2/3/1870 which states, “The right of citizens
of the United States to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or by any state on
account of race, color, or previous condition of
servitude [A216].”
The 1870 Constitution of Virginia was not
Confederate because it had a restatement of the U.S.
Supremacy Clause as Article I, Section 3, “That the
constitution of the United States, and the laws of
congress passed in pursuance thereof, constitute the
supreme law of the land, to which paramount
allegiance and obedience are due from every citizen,
anything in the constitution, ordinances, or laws of
30
any state to the contrary notwithstanding [A646647].”
As presented in The Two Reconstructions by
Richard M. Valelly [A147-153, 392-396, H46-48, L5153], the previously Confederate States re
disenfranchised African American males without the
words “black” or “white” in new State Constitutions
ratified between 1885 and 1908 using Poll Taxes
against the Poor and Literacy Tests against the
Uneducated.
The racially-discriminatory 1902
Constitution of Virginia which was not ratified by the
People abandoned the 1870 Constitution of
Virginia, Article I, Section 3 restatement of the
U.S. Supremacy Clause [A646-647] and empowered
the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia with the
ability to interpret the Constitution of the United
States with its U.S. Bill of Rights [A217] containing
the Federal Rights of the People (1902 Constitution
of Virginia, Article VI, Section 88 [A203-205]).
Also, the Virginia General Assembly chose all Virginia
State, County, and City Judges (1902 Constitution
of Virginia, Article VI, Sections 91, 96, & 99
[A205-206]).
The NAACP was founded in 1908 and helped
elect Truman (1948) and Kennedy (1960). Kennedy’s
Voter Registration Campaign of the 1960’s meant the
end of Poll Taxes and Literacy Tests in State
Constitutions.
The racially-inspired
1971
Constitution of Virginia abandoned Poll Taxes and
Literacy Tests but the Supreme Court of Virginia was
still empowered with the ability to interpret the
Constitution of the United States with its U.S. Bill of
31
Rights containing the Federal Rights of the People
(1971 Constitution of Virginia, Article VI,
Sections 1 & 2 [A209-211]). The Virginia General
Assembly chose all Virginia State, County, and City
Judges (1971 Constitution of Virginia, Article VI,
Section 7 [A211-212])
After 1902, the Supreme Court of Appeals of
Virginia (1902-1971) then the Supreme Court of
Virginia (after 1971) became the Gatekeeper of
Federal Rights of People in Virginia because the
SCOTUS reviewed less than 1% of cases from
Virginia’s highest court [A647, 035-37]. Meanwhile,
the Virginia Police currently endorse Virginia General
Assembly Representatives in General Elections
[A573-574] contrary to the 1971 Constitution of
Virginia, Article I, Section 5 [A207-208]. These
General Assembly Representatives choose all Virginia
State, County, and City Judges in accordance to the
1971 Constitution of Virginia, Article VI, Section
7 [A211-212],
Today in a Virginia Courtroom, there are the
Defendant, Judge, Prosecutor, and Police Witness for
the Prosecution. The Judge is supposed to have
ALLEGIANCE to the Defendant protecting the
Defendant’s Virginia and Federal Rights. The 1971
Constitution of Virginia, Article I, Section 2
states, “That all power is vested in, and consequently
derived from, the people, that magistrates are their
trustees and servants, and at all times amenable to
them [A206-207].” But the Police Witness if angered
might go to his Police Lobby which, in turn, lobbies the
Virginia General Assembly Representatives who, in
32
turn, consider the re-election of the Judge to the same
Bench or to a higher Bench.
The ALLEGIANCE of the Virginia Judges
changed to the Virginia Government and the Virginia
Police. And a Magistrate is a Judge. Fairfax County
Magistrate Wilson Talavera issued the two 6/1/15
Identity Theft Warrants to Respondent Vega without
examining Respondent Vega’s Probable Cause
because Respondent Vega was a VSP Special Agent
and moreover a Virginia Police Officer requesting
from a Virginia Magistrate Warrants against
Petitioner. This case distinguishes Messerschmidt v.
Millender. 565 U.S. 535, 546-47, 132 S.Ct. 1235, 182
L.Ed.2d 47 (2012) (“[T]he fact that a neutral
magistrate had issued a warrant is the clearest
indication that the officers acted in an objectively
reasonable manner.”) [A112-120, G8-9, H39-49, J3,
30-31, 42, L53-57, 016-17, R6-11]. Magistrates are
not neutral in Virginia!
There is no consequence for Police Misconduct
in Virginia.
Virginia Rights complicate the
enforcement actions of the Virginia Police. Virginia
Judges do not enforce Virginia Rights because
Virginia Judges’ ALLEGIANCE is to the Virginia
Police. Federal Rights are denied by the Gatekeeper
of Federal Rights in Virginia, the Supreme Court of
Virginia, with little fear that SCOTUS will overturn
the Supreme Court of Virginia.
What can one expect in a State with a raciallyinspired Constitution? On 8/11/17 to 8/12/17, Unite
the Right held a Rally in Charlottesville, Virginia
which attracted White Supremacists [A281-282],
33
Virginia needs a Constitutional Convention to rewrite
the 1971 Constitution of Virginia, Article VI, Sections
1, 2, and 7 at a minimum so that the People elect their
own Judges and the Supreme Court of Virginia
ALWAYS (within reason) enforces Virginia and
Federal Rights. The current Virginia Judicial Branch
ought to be decapitated for gross incompetence.
Likewise, the current Virginia Police Forces ought to
be decapitated for incompetence and abuse of the
People. Virginia Judicial General Elections should be
held as soon as possible. The SCOTUS should grant
Petitioner a Declaratory Judgment for Congress via
his Question of Exceptional Importance. Luther v.
Borden. 48 U.S. (7 How.) 1, 45, 12 L.Ed. 581 (1849)
states, “Unquestionably a military [or police]
government, established a[s] the permanent
government of the State, would not be a republican
government, and it would be the duty of Congress to
overthrow it [A96]
Alternatively, the SCOTUS could enforce
Petitioner’s 1971 Constitution of Virginia, Article
I, Section 3 indubitable, inalienable, and indefeasible
right to reform alter, or abolish the Virginia
Governments [A207] which Petitioner invoked [A397,
H48, L53-54]. How is Petitioner supposed to prove
that U.S. Amendments IV, V, & XIV are “clearly
established” in Virginia where Virginia and Federal
Rights are unenforced? Pearson u. Callahan. 555 U.S.
223, 231, 129 S.Ct. 808, 815 (2009) (quoting Harlow u.
Fitzgerald. 457 U.S. 800, 818 (1982). Petitioner has
written the Police Officer Education Requirements
Defense complete with the Magna Carta [A607-635].
34
The above analysis of the Virginia Confederate
Police Government is consistent with the fact that
Virginia Police Reports are not Public Documents
provided to the Accused when Police Misconduct is
alleged in accordance with Code of Virginia, § 2.23706(B)(1):
Disclosure of law enforcement and criminal
records; limitations
“B. Discretionary releases. The following
records are excluded from the mandatory
disclosure provisions of this chapter, but may
be disclosed by the custodian, in his
discretion, except where such disclosure is
prohibited by law: ...
1. Criminal investigative files, defined as
any documents and information,
including ... reports [A237-242].”
DIRECT AND CONCISE ARGUMENT FOR
GRANTING WRIT
Petitioner adopts and incorporates the entire
previous Concise Statement of the Case Section herein
as if rewritten verbatim hereat.
U.S. Amendment XTV [A214-216] gives
Petitioner who was born in Houston, Texas and a U.S.
Citizen “equal protection of the laws.” Because
Petitioner is a U.S. Citizen, the argument that follows
does not have to figure out how non-Citizens are
entitled to equal protection of the laws but Petitioner
recognizes there is likely such argument. Petitioner’s
equal protection of the law is regardless of his race
35
(U.S. Amendment XV [A216]) or his sex (U.S.
Amendment XIX [A217]). By the Constitution of the
United States, the U.S. Congress makes Federal Laws
(Article I, Section 7) for every Citizen in the United
States. By the Constitution of the United States, the
U.S. President is tasked with enforcing the Federal
Laws (Article II, Section 3) on every Citizen in the
U.S. Federal Laws are enforced in Federal Courts
inferior to the SCOTUS established by the U.S.
Congress (Article I, Section 8). The SCOTUS has
appellate jurisdiction over all inferior Federal Courts
(Article III, Section 2). By the Constitution of the
United States inclusive of U.S. Amendment XIV, the
SCOTUS interprets all Federal Laws equally for every
Citizen in the United States (Article III, Section 2).
When two inferior Federal Courts interpret a Federal
Law in conflicting fashions, the SCOTUS is required
at its discretion to resolve the conflict. See Supreme
Court Rule 10 [A267-268].
The Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, and Tenth Circuits
in U.S. u. Brady [A154-157], U.S. v. Hudspeth [A165167], U.S. v. Elliott [A158-161], U.S. u. Petty [A172173], U.S. v. Van [A180], and U.S. v. Tisdale [A177180] on pages 17-19 above have interpreted that
sequential crimes are separable and distinct criminal
episodes while simultaneous crimes are a single
criminal episode. The Ninth Circuit in Cooley v. Leuns
[A83] on page 20 above has interpreted that each
separable episodes of conduct creates a Potential Jury
Question.
The VAED affirmed by the Fourth Circuit
interpreted three sequential alleged crimes that
36
“occurred” on 3/3/15, 5/15/15, and 5/31/15 as
simultaneous crimes that are a single criminal
episode because Respondent Vega swore and served
Warrants
for
these
three
alleged
crimes
simultaneously. Footnote 1 on Page G8 states,
“Because the analysis may end after determining
there was probable cause to support the stalking
charge, this Court does not reach the merits of
probable cause on the other charges [A42, G8]The
VAED affirmed by the Fourth Circuit interpreted
three sequential, separable, and distinct episodes of
conduct as simultaneous creating only one Jury
Question that was defeated in a Summary Judgment
Proceeding by what Petitioner argues with affidavits
and verified certified evidence was Fraudulent
Probable Cause.
There exists a “First Circuit Split” herein that
the SCOTUS ought to resolve in accordance with
Supreme Court Rule 10(a) and in the interest of Equal
Justice Under Law between the Sixth through Eighth
& Tenth Circuits versus the Fourth Circuit as to
whether or not there was ABUSE OF DISCRETION
by the VAED when it interpreted whether crimes
allegedly “committed on occasions different from one
another” [See 18 U.S.C. §924(e)(l)] become
simultaneous crimes if the directly-associated arrest
warrants for those sequential alleged crimes were
sworn out and/or served simultaneously.
This is a new case for the SCOTUS where roles
are reversed from those in U.S. u. Petty [A172-173].
The VAED ruled the alleged crimes were
37
simultaneous while the Petitioner argues the alleged
crimes were sequential.
Petitioner has presented affidavits and other
verified, certified evidence in VAED Documents #35,
#35-1, #35-2, #35-3, with Fourth Circuit
Documents #17, #18, & #19 that his 3/26/07 to
3/27/07 Criminal Trial which left him Falsely
Convicted was controlled by a Jury Tampering Expert
working for the Commonwealth of Virginia against
the interests of the Petitioner leaving Petitioner with
a 3/26/07 Edited Appellate Record that Obstructed
Petitioner’s subsequent three appeals including an
appeal to this SCOTUS. This was a Manifest
Injustice involving New Evidence of a Jury
Tampering Expert where Manifest is defined by
FindLaw Legal Dictionary and in the light most
favorable to the Petitioner being truthful as clearly
evident, obvious, and indisputable.
Petitioner’s
affidavits and other verified, certified evidence
presented to the VAED and Fourth Circuit via a FRCP
Rule 59 Motion with attachments was in accordance
with Matsushita Elec. Indus. Co. v. Zenith Radio
Corv.. 475 U.S. 585-88 n. 10 & 11, 586-87, 106 S.Ct
1348, 89 L.Ed.2d 538 (1986) “A party moving for
summary judgment has the initial burden of
establishing the basis for its motion and identifying
the evidence which demonstrates the absence of a
genuine issue of material fact. Id. Once the moving
party satisfies its initial burden, the opposite party
may show, by means of affidavits or other verified
evidence, that there exists a genuine dispute of
material fact.”) [A102-103, D3, G5, H5, J40, 023-24],
38
This SCOTUS ought to GRANT Petitioner’s
5/22/19 “FRCP Rule 59 Motion for New Trial;
Altering or Amending a Judgment / / Three
Additional Motions on Pages 5-6 and Paragraphs 188
& 189 (VAED Documents #35, #35-1, #35-2, and
#35-3) ” because the VAED’s 4/24/19 Memorandum
Opinion, 4/24/19 Order, and 4/25/19 Judgment (VAED
Documents #29, #30, and #31) were erroneous not
being Equal Justice Under Law.
Petitioner presented his complete Disputed
Statement of Facts in the VAED Summary Judgment
Proceeding begun on 3/15/19 via his 5/22/19 FRCP
Rule 59 Motion for New Trial; Altering or Amending a
Judgement (VAED Document #35).
Therein,
Petitioner made the Justifiable Inference that
Respondent Vega had “sworn” the three 6/1/15 False
Warrants in a vindictive attempt to intercept 5/31/15
Proof of Service Paperwork heading to the VAED
concerning the VSP Sergeant who had previously
evaded Service on 5/27/15 and before that Paperwork
was filed in the VAED which it was on 6/2/15. In
Matsushita Elec. Indus. Co. v. Zenith Radio Cory.. 475
U.S. 585-88 n. 10 & 11, 586-87, 106 S.Ct 1348, 89
L.Ed.2d 538 (1986) (See previous page 37). In U.S.
v. Carolina Transformer Co.. 978 F.2d 832, 835 (4th
Cir., 1992) (“In reviewing a summary judgment
motion, the court must “draw all justifiable inferences
in favor of the nonmoving party.”) [A157-158, G5-6,
H5, 32, 50, J40, L42, 024]. In Anderson u. Liberty
Lobby. Inc.. All U.S. 242, 248-49, 106 S.Ct 2505, 91
L.Ed.2d 202 (1986) (“A fact is material when proof of
its existence or nonexistence would affect the outcome
of the case, and an issue is genuine if a reasonable jury
39
might return a verdict in favor of the nonmoving party
on the basis of such an issue.”) [A58-59, D3, 024].
The VAED affirmed by the Fourth Circuit GRANTED
Respondent Vega’s 3/15/19 Summary Judgment
Motion concerning sequential alleged crimes treated
as simultaneous alleged crimes without drawing all
justifiable inferences in the light most favorable to the
Petitioner where there existed a justifiable inference
that was a genuine issue and material fact.
There exists a “Second Circuit Split” herein
that the SCOTUS ought to resolve in accordance with
Supreme Court Rule 10(a) and in the interest of Equal
Justice Under Law between the SCOTUS & Fourth
Circuit versus the Fourth Circuit itself as to whether
or not there was CLEAR ERROR by the VAED over
the Federal Court Practice (FRCP Rule 56; U.S.
Amendment VII Right to Trial by Jury) when it failed
to view all facts in a Summary Judgment Proceeding
and draw any justifiable inferences from those facts in
the light most favorable to the Petitioner when
deciding if there existed genuine issues as to any
material fact requiring a Trial by Jury.
The 1971 Constitution of Virginia, Article VI,
Sections 1, 2, and 7 together with the Code of Virginia,
§ 2.2-3706(B)(l) [A237-242] and similar Code Sections
have created the Virginia Confederate Police
Governments which are historically Unrepublican
Forms of Government in violation to the U.S.
Guarantee Clause [A217-218] by allowing the
Virginia General Assembly endorsed for Public Office
by the Virginia Police [A573-574] to elect/choose all
Virginia State, County, and City Judges [A211-212]
40
contrary to Duncan v. McCall, 139 U.S. 449, 461, 11
S.Ct. 573, 577 (1891) [A85-86],
The U.S. Supremacy Clause states, “This
Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which
shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties
made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of
the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the
Land; and the Judges in every State shall be
bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or
Laws
of any
State
to
the
Contrary
notwithstanding. [A218]
The 1971 Constitution of Virginia, Article VI,
Section 1 states,
the Supreme Court shall, by
virtue of this Constitution, have appellate
jurisdiction
m
cases
involving
the
constitutionality
of a
law
under
this
Constitution or the Constitution of the United
States and in cases involving the life or liberty of
any person. ... [A209-211].”
The 1971 Constitution of Virginia, Article VI,
Section 2 states,
no law shall be declared
unconstitutional under either this Constitution
or the Constitution of the United States except
on the concurrence of at least a majority of all
justices of the Supreme Court [of Virginia].
[A211].”
The 1971 Constitution of Virginia, Article VI,
Sections 1 & 2 violate the U.S. Supremacy Clause
as the 1902 Constitution of Virginia, Article VI,
Section 88 did,
The assent of at least three of
the judges shall be required for the court to
determine that any law is, or is not, repugnant
41
to the Constitution of this State or of the United
States; ... [A203-205] ”
This SCOTUS ought to issue a Declaratory
Judgment that Virginia is in violation of the U.S.
Guarantee Clause, U.S. Supremacy Clause, and
Duncan v. McCall. 139 U.S. 449,461,11 S.Ct. 573, 577
(1891) [A85-86] and that Virginia has been in
violation of these three Clauses/Case Law since 1902.
In the wise words on U.S. President Donald Trump,
this SCOTUS ought to “Make America Great Again.”

CONCLUSION
Petitioner seeks Equal Justice Under Law
appealing with two Circuit Splits and a Question of
Exceptional Importance. While Luther v. Borden. 48
U.S. (7 How.) 1, 45, 12 L.Ed. 581 (1849) [H48-49, J4,
42
L54, 042-43] states, “Unquestionably a military [or
police] government, established a[s] the permanent
government of the State, would not be a republican
government, and it would be the duty of Congress to
overthrow it,” Petitioner has invoked his Constitution
of Virginia, Article I, Section 3 indubitable,
inalienable, and indefeasible right to reform, alter or
abolish all Virginia Governments [A397, H48, L5354] without requiring the U.S. Congress to reform,
alter, or abolish.
Legal Costs: Respondent Vega’s 6/1/15 False
Warrants cost Petitioner $6,610 and Respondent
Dawson, P.L.C.’s malpractice, which was not fatal due
to the VAED’s 4/24/19 Erroneous Judgment, cost
Petitioner $37,192.50.
