Statement of the Case
4
REASONS FOR GRANTING THE WRIT
4
By ultimately denying Petitioner his due process petition right to proceed
in forma pauperis in trial court and appellate court, simply due to lack of
funds, the Federal Fifth Circuit (a) departed from the accepted and usual
course of judicial proceedings, and sanctioned such a departure by the trial
court, as to call for an exercise of this Court's supervisory power; (b)
effectively decided an important federal question in a way that conflicts
with a decision by a state court of last resort; (c) effectively decided an
important question of federal law that has not been, but should be, settled
by this Court; & (d) effectively decided an important federal question in a
way that conflicts with relevant decisions of this Court

Statement of the Case
REASONS FOR GRANTING THE WRIT
By ultimately denying Petitioner his due process petition right to proceed in
forma pauperis in trial court & appellate court, simply due to lack of funds, the
Federal Fifth Circuit (a) departed from the accepted & usual course of judicial
proceedings, & sanctioned such a departure by the trial court, as to call for an exercise
of this Court's supervisory power; (b) effectively decided an important federal
question in a way that conflicts with a decision by a state court of last resort; (c)
effectively decided an important question of federal law that has not been, but should
be, settled by this Court; & (d) effectively decided an important federal question in a
way that conflicts with relevant decisions of this Court.
SCOTUS must also intervene to review & grant Petitioners related yet
mutually exclusive “Related Writ” of certiorari on a 28 U.S.C. §1651 petition
from Fed. 5th Circuit.6 The §1651 petition’s writ seeks to vacate, inter alia, (a) void
DWI & interference with public duties convictions related to this certiorari petition’s
Issue 2(A)(1) incident7; & (b) 7+ void liberty deprivation orders8 & judgments, from
harassment & unjust prosecutions Petitioner endured in state courts,9 all which give
rise to further 42 U.S.C §1983 et seq claims & damages sought in dist. court.10

Petitioner seeks to efficiently resolve all claims for damages upon remand of
this appealed civil rights case, & via a severed docket motioned in trial court.11
Issue 1: Whether Petitioner s in forma pauperis status from state court
applies post removal to Federal Court.
In summary, the federal courts do not honor in forma pauperis status from
state courts. Petitioner’s SCOTUS in forma pauperis motion submitted with this
Writ of Certiorari, briefly proves Petitioner warrants to appeal in forma pauperis.
Petitioner appealed to the Federal 5th Circuit, in forma pauperis. The 5th
circuit dismissed the appeal for failure to pay appeal fee.12
In America, no person is ever deprived access to court for lack of funds,
including civil federal appeals post removal.13
Hence the 5th Circuit judgment is an unconstitutional paradox, for flagrant
deprivation of Petitioner’s entitled 1st Amendment appeal-petition rights14; &
warrant this Supreme Courts intervention & supervision.15

The Original (1st) Action (USDC No. 4:20-CV-04149)
Petitioner filed both the original (1st) suit & the independent (2nd) action in
state court, complied with all petition requirements to proceed in forma pauperis in
the suits, & was eventually granted said right.16 In the 1st action, the clerk only
served TxDPS via Director McGraw.17 TxDPS responded, & immediate^ removed the
action18 to federal court; before Petitioner noticed that none else was served process.
Post removal in said 1st action, upon Petitioner’s efforts to serve additional
parties, the trail court stayed the case & referred it to an unconsented & unneutrally
detached federal trial court magistrate, who — with record knowledge of Petitioner’s
lack of funds & in forma pauperis status pre-removal — deceptively requested
Petitioner to file a 28 U.S.C. §1915 application to proceed without costs.19
At the void §1915 hearing, which occurred on 4/7/2021 & after the FRCP Rule
4 90-day deadline to serve parties had lapsed, the unconsented & unneutrally
detached magistrate deceptively requested that Petitioner either (a) withdraw his
application, or (b) have the case dismissed for failure to state a claim.20 The court
never set a deadline to serve parties.21 Petitioner lacked funds to serve parties,22 yet
had summary judgment (“SJ”) 4th & 14th Amd U.S. Const §1983 claims23 duly pled.
with filed supporting SJ evidence24.
Petitioner was therefore unduly coerced, or

forced, to withdraw the §1915 application — a deprivation of petition due process
rights - than have the case dismissed.25
Hence, the unneutrally detached & unconsented magistrate, deceptively
denied Petitioner of right to proceed without costs & serve additional non-TxDPS
defendants post removal in federal court; & did so without a finding that Petitioner
was not otherwise entitled to proceed without costs, as required under FRAP 24(a)(3).
The magistrate & the trial court judge then subsequently & wrongfully
dismissed the case for failure to state a claim;26 & disallowed service on non-TxDPS
parties on the non-TxDPS claims.27 Thereafter, they denied any further post
judgment motions.28
The orders precluded Petitioner's opportunity to file a FRAP 24(a) post
judgment motion, obtain a 24(a)(3) ruling, & if denied, be entitled to file the a FRAP
24(a)(5) motion in appellate court; in order to appeal in forma pauperise Else,
Petitioner must pay for appeal filing & transcript costs.30
Hence, without funds to pay for appeal costs31, Petitioner's in forma pauperis
procedural appeal rights were wrongfully impeded by the trial court's preclusion of
further motions;32 & by its deceptive forced withdrawal of the §1915 application,

without a finding that Petitioner was not otherwise entitled to proceed without costs
for appeal,33 as required under FRAP 24(a)(3).34
The Independent (2nd) Action in Equity (TJSDC No. 4:22-CV-00765)
Petitioner consequently refiled an independent (2nd) action & class action
motion in state court,35 & again complied with all requirements to proceed in forma
pauperis in the suits, & was again granted the const, right.36
In said 2nd action, Petitioner was able to get both TxDPS & HC respondents
served by the state clerk pre-transfer37, & before any responses & removal of action.38
Once in federal court, the fed. court clerk refused to honor Petitioner's request
to serve additional parties.39 Respondents TxDPS & HC filed dispositive FRCP Rule
12(c) & 12(b)(6) Motions, respectively.40 Petitioner responded.41 The trial court
dismissed the case again without an initial conference or docket scheduling.42
Post filing notice of appeal,43 the 5th Circuit appeal clerk refused to honor
Petitioner's uncontroverted44 pre-removal in forma pauperis status from state court;
& required in forma pauperis Petitioner to file a FRAP 24(a)(1) motion in federal trial

appeal.45 Petitioner called the clerk & informed her such wasn’t proper per FRAP 24,
& only gives the trial court an opportunity to controvert Petitioner's in forma pauperis
status.46 Yet, Petitioner complied;47 & was invidiously treated as a prisoner;48 as
Petitioner now understands is Fed. Crt. policy to file mail-envelopes of such persons.
Petitioner also requested the transcripts of the 1st actions' 4/7/21 §1915
hearing.49 The trial clerk & court denied the existence of the 4/7/21 hearing; even with
minutes entry from the §1915 hearing docketed.5051 The trial court also denied the
application on non-good faith appeal grounds;52 thereon officially controverting
Petitioner’s in forma pauperis status from state court53 in the 2nd action.54
The 5th Circ. clerk requested Petitioner to pay or reapply per Rule 24.55 To
reapply, Petitioner only required a motion & Appx. 15-16 & 83-89.50
Since both action’s dismissals were for failure to state a claim,57 & since the
FRAP 24(a) motion denial order was on grounds that the appeal was frivolous,58 in
order to show that Petitioner's appeal was in good faith & not frivolous, Petitioner

equity; that vitiates the proceedings with causes 4:22-CV-00765 & 4:22-CV-04149, & all entered orders

had to file a FRAP Rule 24(a)(5) motion showing that Petitioner stated a valid federal
civil rights claim; which is similar but limited in scope to challenging the 12(b)(6)
dismissal orders as required for appeal.59 Hence Petitioner filed his brief, & all §1651
writ remedies needed, in a comprehensive R. 24(a)(5) motion.60
The 5th Circuit refused to read or review the motion, & required Petitioner to
refile the application & motion, with another financial affidavit requirement from
Petitioner.61 Petitioner has & had no funds.62 Petitioner motioned & tried to explain
that a new financial affidavit was unnecessary as already provided to trial court & in
the disregarded-pending 24(a)(5) motion; & that the trial court's reason for denying
Petitioner's FRAP 24(a) application (i.e., non-good-faith63) also rendered any financial
affidavit issue irrelevant & moot.64
5th Circuit seems in support of this writ, & ultimately showed such via (a) the
unconstitutional reason stated in the 8/15/2022 order65, which was issued in light of
Petitioner's FRAP 24(a)(5) in forma pauperis motion66, & (b) the denied transfer &
reconsideration motion issues.67 These are all void orders & judgements due vacated.

Petitioner raises issues that occur daily throughout Texas & U.S., with
irreparable harm to fundamental substantive & procedural due process rights of
citizens. Most issues, e.g., Issues 2(A), regard statutory notice violations by
government actors, with inter alia, irreparable harm to citizens & their rights.68
The trial court granted Respondents’ 12(b)(6) dismissals,69 then issued an
impediment order finding; that appealing the independent action was non-goodfaith.70 Petitioner always pled various separate §1983, §1985, & §1986 damage &
class action injunction claims,71 against separate state & local govt defendants;
hailing from 7+ different incidents involving unreasonable search & seizures of
Petitioner, & invidiously, & insidiously denying him liberty, privacy, petition, equal
protection, & due process rights. And such still continues, as well as the severe harm.
No officer witnessed any alleged crime; & no witness duly testified to such.
Hence there is a further compelling reason for this court to intervene, & swiftly
grant Petitioner’s writ, & it’s just remedies sought. SCOTUS is last resort.
Issue 2(A)(1): Whether Texas Department of Public Safety’s DIC-24 statutory
warning form, required for implied consent to breath or blood draw of subjects, is void
of due process fair notice for non-compliance with Tex. Transn. Code §724.015(a)(6)
& (a)(8): & warrant the pled-proposed class action injunction & rectification.
TxDPS’s DIC-24 statutory warning lacks fair notice: a basis for §1983 claim.

The applicable versions of the DIC-24 statutory warning form at issue, are the
versions in place post the 2011 & 2021 Texas congress amendments of §724.015(a).83
Houston Police Department (“HPD”) Officers used a copy of the pre-2021 amendment
version against Petitioner on the night of 11/14/2018.84 It lacks §724.015(a)(6).85
The 2021 Texas Congressional amendment of §724.015(a), simply added an
additional subsection, §724.015(a)(8); with additional statutory disclosures to be
provided citizens/subjects, orally & in writing, as required under §724.015(a).86
Petitioner, while drafting this certiorari writ, noticed online at TxDPS’ website
(https://www.dps.texas.gov/Internetforms/Forms/DIC-24.pdf)
that
TxDPS
adjusted the DIC-24 warning in 9/2021, post the 2021 amendment of §724.015(a), &
during the original litigation, to unreasonably & inconspicuously include the §(a)(8)
2021 Congress amendment’s addition. Yet the current version still excludes §(a)(6)87.
Hence, Texas’ DIC-24 form & statutory warnings, have been void since 2011 ;88
& is prima facie self-authenticating proof of deliberate indifference to due process
implied consent right of each subject, per its continued excluded §(a)(6).
The contents of the DIC-24 form, is supposed to contain the statutory required
fair notice disclosures enumerated in §724.015(a); required for implied consent
authority of government to vest, for the sake of blood or breath draw of subjects.89

trigger both procedural due process fair notice issues, & substantive due process
liberty, privacy, & bodily integrity violation issues, with remedies for the resulting
harm(s) available to citizens under 42 U.S.C. §1983.90
Oral & written provision of the statutory warnings of §724.015(a)(1) - (a)(8), to
subjected citizens, are also prerequisites before govt, can request a citizen to submit.

The term “refusal” is an important prerequisite on the civil aspect, as it vests
any jurisdictional authority of government to (1) admit the refusal in subsequent
prosecution;92 (2) permanently or temporarily suspend, revoke, or deny the subject’s
license to operate a motor vehicle - including as allowed in Subchapter C;93 (3)
institute any Subchapter D Administrative Hearings,94 or compel hearing requests
by the 15-day deadline from the subject, which triggers the citizen-subject’s motor
vehicle license revocation, suspension, or denial;95 or (4) require any motor vehicle
license reinstatement fees, costs, or charges from or the citizen-subject.96
For criminal proceedings, “refusal” vests the jurisdictional authority of
government to apply for or issue a search warrant authorizing a blood specimen to be
taken from the citizen-subject.97 But Ch. 724 & its provisions & proceedings, are

Hence, inter alia, without the DIC-24 statutory warning notice form contents
in strict compliance" with §724.015(a), government agents (1) lack authority to apply
for or issue a warrant to obtain blood specimen from subjects; (2) lack authority to
draw blood specimens from subjects; (3) lack authority to temporarily or permanently
suspend, revoke, or deny subjects of motor vehicle operation privileges; (4) lack
authority to institute Administrative Hearings, or compel hearing request deadlines;
& (5) lack authority cause subjects any resulting penalty, fees, or costs.
Without the DIC-24 form in strict compliance with §724.015(a), the state only
has authority to obtain a search warrant to collect the subject’s breath sample.100 &
therefore, all or a super-majority of blood samples collected since 2011, & collected

(“Today's case asks whether a notice provision in the Texas Premium Finance Act should be read as
written, or instead whether the Court should adopt a ‘substantial compliance’ approach that excuses
slipups. We opt for the former. The Legislature has codified ‘substantial compliance’ throughout Texas
law — including in other Insurance Code notice provisions — forgiving less-than-strict conformity with
various statutory commands. But it did not do so here. We decline to engraft what lawmakers declined
to enact... This notice requirement is unambiguous, & ‘[w]here text is clear, text is determinative.’
Plain language disallows ad-libbing, a cardinal principle we have reaffirmed regularly...The
Legislature ‘expresses its intent by the words it enacts & declares to be the law.’ Our refusal to engraft
a ‘substantial compliance’ exception seems particularly prudent given how ubiquitous ‘substantial
compliance’ is throughout Texas law.”); Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia, 140 S. Ct. 1731,1737

Petitioner was alerted late on 10/14/2019; appeared on 10/15/2019 early morning to inquire; was
immediately arrested & detained in HC jail without hearing or bail for a week; then kept in jail on a
suppressive $200K bail while Roll, Otto, HC Clerk, & Sheriff, executed the forfeiture proceeding (i.e.,
HC Dist. Crt 179, Case# 1648314A) against Petitioner without any notice to state-custody-held,
targeted, & harmed Petitioner. See e.g., Appx. 431 (20191119_163050 & 20191119_163057 files))
Roll reduced Petitioner’s $200K bail to $75K, after executing cause# 1648314A’s void final
bond forfeiture judgment. Petitioner found out about the bond forfeiture case# 1648314A after making
bail & returning to his office. Notices were deceptively mailed to Petitioner’s office, while inter alia, j.
Roll, Otto, HC Sheriff & clerk knowingly conspired & kept Petitioner in HCJ; hence void acts. See,
Robinson v. Hanrahan, 409 U.S. 38 (1972)
Per (1) Issue 2(a)(1); (2) spoliation of all cause #s 2233594 & 2233595 video evidence by HPD;
& (3) co-conspirator Judge Tonya Jones (I) denying Petitioner due process notice & fair hearing, (II)
knowingly admitting false & illegal created evidence pretrial & at trial (e.g., a forged warrant, that
appears months later in court after an illegal & painful blood draw, & that failed Tex. Code Crim Pro.
18.01(b) file-notice requirement on its face, & was not provided Petitioner upon request before the
painful illegal 11/14/2018 blood draw, & evidence based on the illegal forged warrant), (III) not
certifying or filing, & denying Petitioner duly entitled special jury instructions on factually
contested illegally obtained evidence, probable cause & warrant issues (i.e., statutory reversible errors
per inter alia, (i) Tex. Code of Crim. Pro. Art. 36.17 (all proposed jury charges, including special
charges, statutorily required certified & filed by judge as part of clerk record.) & (ii) Thomas
v. State, 723 S.W.2d 696, 707 (Tex.Cr.App. 1986) (denial on jury charge on illegally obtained evidence,
with factual dispute of illegal obtained evidence, is reversible error)), (IV) forsins an indigency petition
for Petitioner in order to appoint & pay a harmful conflict-of-interest & recent ADA counsel for
Petitioner, without Petitioner’s knowledge or consent, while Petitioner was held in HC iail for
1648314A. & repeatedly taken to Crt 179 & Crt 15 to be publicly humiliated: cause #s 2233594 &
2233595 (Appx. 546) resulted in void convictions (Appx. 974-977); convictions Petitioner seeks
vacated via the §1651 or “Related Writ” of Certiorari (Supra, fn. 1 & fn. 6; Appx. 590-664; 665—1028).
Due to Petitioner’s lack of funds, Tonya Jones & the state courts have unconstitutionally
denied Petitioner the trial court proceeding transcripts, & due process rights to fair hearing & appeal,
to vacate the void convictions. (Appx. 970—986, 990—991) The unreasonably denied/withheld Petitioner
transcripts (Appx. 980), show inter alia, the Thomas u. State issue, lack of impartial judge-tribunal
Marshall & Caperton issue, & other §1983 actionable no-notice customs & practices of HPD disclosed
at trial by HPD experts (i.e., HPD does not customarily provide custody subjects with blood-draw
warrants)). Without funds, Petitioner is harmfully denied evidence & justice (Appx. 970-997).

Petitioner sought to vacate, inter alia, the void PC findings from causes
1648314 & 1745037, via a habeas corpus writ action in HC Crt. 179: cause #
1648314AZ.140 Judge of Crt. 179, a former ADA, recused herself. Petitioner now
leverages the §1651 petition & “Related Writ” to vacate the PC orders, & all other
void liberty deprivation orders & judgments endured; including in cause # 201917921.
The open-dormant cause # 1648314AZ, subjects Petitioner to unreasonable
liberty deprivation.141 Inter alia, another void warrant can be issued in the case,
Petitioner unreasonably arrested, detained, & subject to void proceedings.
Hence, Petitioner has standing (particular injury & redressability)142 for the
pled §1983 injunctions & damage claims, & class action remedies sought143.

made against Petitioner144, including case# 201917921, & found not merit. 145
PC determinations before Magistrate or Judge
In Harris County, TX, post an arrest, when subjects are initially presented
before a magistrate or judge, the magistrate or judge first determines PC to detain
the individual, before addressing bail issue. The proceeding goes as follows:
1. Detainee is presented before magistrate or judge; a HC ADA staff is present
for the State of Texas (“State”); & matter goes on-the-record:

(1) Magistrate or judge reads cause #, & parties are identified;
(2) Magistrate or judge tells Detainee of the charges against them;
(3) State reads the allegations & State’s version of the facts into record, &
makes argument for PC;
(4) Detainee is not allowed to speak nor rebut;
(5) Judge finds PC.
2. Parties remain on record, & move on to bail issue.
(1) State makes argument for bail amount.
(2) Detainee, now a Defendant, is allowed to speak or rebut.
a. Sometimes, during hours of 9 - 5pm, Mon - Fri, Detainees are
provided counsel from Harris County Public Defender’s Office,
only for representation on the bail issue.146
(3) Judge rules on (i.e., determines) bail amount.
Petitioner was subject to such void hearings, inter alia, in HC jail, on
10/3/2019, upon another void arrest & detention, for cause# 1648314’s false charge.147
Petitioner requested, & was denied rebuttal opportunity on the PC issue.148
The unneutrally detached magistrate found PC in the void proceeding.149 The same
magistrate had also issued a void capias warrant for Petitioner the day before, based
on a void sworn affidavit-complaint filed in cause # 1648314 on 10/2/2019, that
contained similar fabricated allegation as the void protective order case #201917921,
& contained more aggravated perjury than one can count.

The existence of §1(4) & §2(2)(a) in these proceedings, voids the proceedings
for lack of detainees’ equal protection & due process rights.150 Once the judicial
machinery is used against citizens, the citizen is entitled to rebut against any
allegations made against them at any stage.151 In liberty deprivation proceedings,
the citizen must be ensured effective assistance of counsel at all times152. Any court.
magistrate or judge that fails to ensure such due process, lacks jurisdiction.153
Hence, there exists additional compelling reason for this court to intervene154.
& prospectively enjoin such void PC proceedings - nationwide.
Petitioner’s proposed solution, rectifies due process for all subjects.155 A new

SCOTUS judgment/reversal) is circumstantially necessary, & hereby requested.

Another compelling due process issue in PC proceedings nationwide, is
arbitrary enforcement of fair hearing opportunities in closed grand jury proceedings;
by allowing an indictment defense packet at prosecutor’s discretion.

In cause # 1598318, Petitioner was duly noticed, allowed to, & did submit an
indictment defense packet to the grand jury. The grand jury found no PC within 90
days of case filing.157 Case was dismissed, & Petitioner’s §1983 pled false arrest &
false detention claims vested.158
Cause #1648314 was a different beast of burden; per HC ADAs, HPD officers,
& judges’ malice. It was dismissed over two years after its filing159; during which
Petitioner was wrongfully indicted twice on two separate charges, for cause # 1648314
& a created # 1745037; with fabricated allegations & on the same void complaint;
without evidence; without Petitioner’s duly entitled examining trial; without a
hearing before a neutrally detached magistrate or judge; without notice of a grand
jury proceeding; & without an indictment defense packet hearing opportunity.160
Inter alia, the resulting void PC findings in the dismissed cause #s 1648314 &
1745037 — including their felony indictments that are void of due process examining
trial, grand jury proceeding notice, or indictment defense packet hearing opportunity
- remain liberty deprivation issues that Petitioner sought to vacate post-dismissal of
the charges; via the now dormant cause # 1648314AZ habeas corpus writ action in

The disallowance of the indictment defense packet is an additional due process
violation that voids the applicable indictments against Petitioner in cause #s 1648314
& 1745037. The indictment defense packet is a felony defendant’s least fair hearing
or rebuttal opportunity in the closed grand jury proceeding; & meets fair play.164
Govt’s arbitrary enforcement of such due process hearing opportunity, (i.e.,
indictment defense packet allowed at prosecutors’ discretion), is equal protection165
& due process166 violation in criminal justice administration; with harmful results.
For Petitioner, when granted the liberty at such fair hearing opportunities (i.e.,
liberty to present a defense packet), grand jury found no PC. When denied such
liberties, the grand jury wrongfully & fatally167 found PC.
Hence, the grand jury indictment defense packet, prepared by defendants & at
no cost to govt., is due process warranted & effective fair hearing opportunity; & fatal
indictments rendered without such defense hearing opportunity are void.

Accord, Mahone v. Addicks Util Dist. of Harris County, 836 F.2d 921, 932 (5th Circ. 1988) (“As the
Supreme Court explained long ago, equal protection of the law requires not only that laws be equal on
their face, but also that they be executed so as not to deny equality. Yick Wo v. Hopkins, 118 U.S. 356
(1886); accord, Zeigler v. Jackson, 638 F.2d 776, 779 (5th Cir. Unit B March 1981) (‘[T]he unequal
application of a state law, fair on its face, may act as a denial of equal protection.’)”).
166 Bolling v. Sharpe, 347 U.S. 497, 499 (1954) (“But the concepts of equal protection & due process,
both stemming from our American ideal of fairness, are not mutually exclusive. The ‘equal protection
of the laws’ is a more explicit safeguard of prohibited unfairness than ‘due process of law,’ &, therefore,
we do not imply that the two are always interchangeable phrases. But, as this Court has recognized,
discrimination may be so unjustifiable as to be violative of due process.”).
167 Fatal because (1) Petitioner was denied fair opportunity to vacate the probable cause findings in
cause #s 1648314 & 1745037; (2) the same void complaint in cause # 1648314, with its fabricated
allegations, was basis for all probable cause findings & indictments in causes 1648314 & 1745037; (3)
HC had exculpatory evidence before the cause 1648314 was filed on 10/2/2019, yet refused to
investigate; (4) probable cause could not be found per Cause 1648314’s sworn affidavit complaint, nor
did the cause # 1648314 complaint allegations ever occur; & (5) no examination trial ever allowed
Petitioner in Causes 1648314 & 1745037, to dispute probable cause.

immunity, was a treasonous fundamental error principle, created as result of Edward
Coke’s fallacy in Floyd v. Barker,182 & later perpetuated by Edward Coke via more
fallacies in The Marshal Sea Case.
Upon its 1607 introduction in Floyd, the principle was contrary to pre-existing
governing law since 1214 (i.e., Magna Carta183 & its Art(s) 39 & 40184); & contrary to
centuries-long-binding common-law principles of Bowser185.
Magna Carta, was the basis for English common-law; & its principles adopted
in U.S. of America.186 As of 1215187, the King lacked absolute authority himself, &
was punishable via suit against his ministers or judges for Magna Carta 39
violations.188 Hence, Coke’s reasoning in Floyd, that unchallenged & absolute
authority of judges derived from the King189, was treasonous & false-authority fallacy
- as it [deceptively] made judges’ authority greater than the King’s authority/limits.

This principle was reiterated in Bradley u. Fisher, 80 U.S. 335, 343-344 (1871).
SCOTUS then erred in its reasoning in the same opinion by committing the same centuries old
fallacies: false-dilemma, red-herring, & appealing to Coke’s void authority. See, Bradley v. Fisher, U.S.
at 347-349 (Citing Chancellor Kent’s Yates u. Lansing, 5 Johnson 282, 291 (N.Y. 1810), & Coke’s Floyd

Hence via false authority, false-dilemma & hasty-generalization reasonings190,
Edward Coke fabricated absolute authority & placed judges above the governing
basis for English common-law: the Magna Carta & its Art(s) 39 & 40. He thereby
made judges equal to or above the King: treason.
In Floyd, Coke introduced 3 sound public policies to support judicial
immunity191; yet irrationally argues such policies in support of immunizing civil &
criminal judicial actions (including scandalous, criminal, malicious, or corrupt
activity of judges); contrary to the 3 policies, Magna Carta’s Arts 39 & 40, & Bowser.
The policies, as virtuous as they sound, are irrationally related to scope of
actions absolutely immunized (i.e., scandalous, criminal, malicious, or corrupt
actions). E.g., Fraud by the court, does not lead to public confidence in the judiciary
nor finality of judgment, but a coram non judice act, void ab initio, & duly attackable
collaterally.192

principle.
To justify & bolster the void, principle, courts have introduced the deceptive
dichotomy of “excess of jurisdiction” vs. “absence of jurisdiction” — with the latter
alleged as an act without subject-matter jurisdiction; & have leveraged Coke’s
“scandal preclusion” red-herring or false-dilemma fallacy theory in support196.

deprived citizens of their fundamental rights, & perpetuated damages & irreparable
harm.
Such is the main source of this SCOTUS & other courts’ continuous error in
interpreting absolute immunity of judges & prosecutors, & §1983 provisions.197
Judicial & prosecutorial absolute immunity is inapplicable to §1983 claims.
§1983 on its face grants Petitioner a cause of action for damages against
all persons acting under color of state law to subject or deprive Petitioner of U.S.
Constitutional & federal rights.198
Per §1983 legislative history, Congress discussed & precluded absolute
immunity for judges, & arguably prosecutors per Congress’ disclosed specific remedy
intent for §1983.199
Hence, this Court must now rectify this long-standing
fundamental error, & abolish judicial & prosecutorial absolute immunity, including
in 42 U.S.C. §1983 claims,200 unless specifically conferred upon by statute.

Act as a specific remedy to harassment litigation & unjust prosecution injustices in southern courts.).
200 See, Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia, 140 S. Ct. 1731,1737 (2020) (“When the express terms
of a statute give us one answer & extratextual considerations suggest another, it's no contest. Only
the written word is the law, & all persons are entitled to its benefit.”); See also, Bostock, 140 S. Ct. at
1749 - 1750 (Citing Milner v. Department of Navy, 562 U.S. 562, 574 (2011) ("Legislative history,

Jud. & prosec, absolute immunity is Unconstitutional & Un-American
U.S. 1776 Declaration of Independence preamble201, U.S. Const. V & XIV202,
42 U.S.C. §198 3203, & §1983 legislative history, got it right. Even this Court’s
limitations on judicial absolute immunity in Randall v. Brigham204 came close.
Yet, this court since Bradley v. Fisher, has allowed such unconstitutional
& irrational principle205 to serve as leverage for scandalous, malicious,
fraudulent, & corrupt, judges or prosecutors, to exert grievous, & invidious due
process violations or injustices against Petitioner & similar citizens, against
their rights, against their property, & via the justice system.206
Jurisdiction is a simple comprehensive legal issue, with many ways for a judge
to lose it; e.g., via bias or prejudice against party, no party to suit, litigant relative,
fraud, malice, corruption, or criminal activity behind bench, etc.

jurisdiction amounts to act without jurisdiction, per Constitution due process
limitations207; & legally actionable when harmful208.
There is no absolute immunity from harmful unauthorized acts. Judges are
entitled to the same petition & due process rights & protections as any other citizen
or government-defendant, if wrongfully sued; including govt, counsel defense for govt.
employees, & defense fees & costs under §1988 for all defendants.209
Judicial or prosecutorial absolute immunity, unless conferred by statute210, is
contrary to democracy or republic principles. Such absolute immunity must be
abolished at federal common law; & is the most compelling reason for this writ.
Upon remand, Petitioner would have § 1983 equal protection & due process
conspiracy claims against all govt, persons that include against co-conspirator judges
& prosecutors, per Villages of Willowbrook v. Olech211 at the least212; with inter alia,
(1) no qualified immunity for any individual that actively participate in the harmful

Issue 2(B): Whether Petitioner merited independent action, class action. & claims
severance.
Independent Action-In-Eauitv
Pro se Petitioner factually pled unreasonable search & seizure, equal
protection, substantive due process, & procedural due process rights violation §1983
claims; as in Issues 2(A)(1) & 2(A)(II) above.214 Petitioner also pled & raised the
issues & claims in the 1st & 2nd actions’ governing complaints215216 & their respective
class action motions.217218 Petitioner always pled §1983 claims; with due class actions.
In the independent action, pro se Petitioner sufficiently showed fraud or
absence of fault that prevented Petitioner from benefiting from obtaining the benefit
of the pled claims.219 E.g., Petitioner also factually pled & submitted SJ evidence of
deceptive due process wrongs that caused the failure of Petitioner to litigate his
claims in the 1st action: E.g., magistrate’s deceptive requirement of Petitioner to
withdraw his §1915 application or incur a FRCP Rule 12(b)(6) dismissal, with
knowledge of Petitioner’s financial constraints to serve additional parties; the
subsequent dismissal of the 1st action under 12(b)(6)) with notice of Petitioner’s cost
bearing inability; & then post-judgment disposition knowing HC’s notice-service.220
The repetitively & evidently pled substantive & procedural due process rights
violations of citizens per the void DIC-24 form, & denial of rebuttal opportunities in
HC liberty deprivation PC proceedings, show that grave miscarriage of justice

occurred & still occurs in HC & Texas; show that the original action’s dismissal was
manifestly unconscionable, & also effectuates such injustice in HC & Texas; & show
that the prior dismissals are void of due process, which ‘in equity & good conscience’
should not be enforced. Petitioner pled no adequate remedy.221
Hence Petitioner warranted an independent action; & the denials, reversed.
Class Action
Petitioner pled detail facts to meet the FRCP Rule 23 class action factors or
element, in both the governing complaints222, & in class action-partial SJ motions.223
Petitioner also attached class action SJ evidence to the governing pleadings & SJ
motions224; or duly filed such before dismissal or removal225.
Class action certification require a well pleaded complaint; must be certified
“as soon as possible;” & is not based on the merits of the underlying action.226
Since the class action motions & sufficient supporting evidence were on file
pre-dismissal in both cases, the class action requests should have been granted. The
denial or preclusion of said motions, a due process violation, must be rectified.
Severance of Claims
Petitioner’s complaint in both actions contained invasion of privacy, false
arrest, false detention, excessive force, & due process constitutional violation §1983
claims for damages227 against some parties (e.g., HC, HPD, HCDA, & various

individuals). It also contained the §1983 claims for injunction against TxDPS & HC,
with TxDPS being a different party on a mutually exclusive issue.
Petitioners’ requested severance of claims228 was clearly warranted; to
preclude the confusion of issues, claims, & parties that eventually resulted per the
Federal District Court’s dismissal order in USDC# 4:22-CV-00765.229 Also, inter alia,
Petitioner’s false arrest & detention §1983 damage claims cannot be resolved via
§1983 injunction. Hence, denial or preclusion of severance motions need reversed.
Such allows for optimal case management of issues, claims, & parties; &
further assures that due petition & due process rights of all litigants are sustained.
XI.
Conclusion & Relief Requested
For these compelling reasons above, Petitioner asks this SCOTUS to grant this
writ, & after review, (1) abolish absolute immunity under federal common law, (2)
hold Respondents, putative local govt, actors, & their co-conspirators, are not entitled
to qualified immunity on the §1983 injunction & 42 U.S.C. damages claims; (3) vacate
all orders & judgments entered by the lower courts in 5th Circ. case # 22-20472, in
USDC # 4:20-CV-04149 & 4:22-CV-00765230; (4) enter the relief for Petitioner as
requested,231 w/ extended settlement date; & (5) remand for proceedings.
Petitioner also seeks a “Related Writ” on the filed §1651 petition232; & post
review, vacate all challenged liberty deprivation orders & judgments. Such
allows resolution of Petitioner’s putative 42 U.S.C. damage claims upon remand.
