What it's about

This case involves a petition for a writ of certiorari filed by a petitioner seeking to proceed as a pauper, appealing a decision from the Court of Appeals of Michigan.

Question presented

1. Must a court overlook a plaintiff's race in making a decision about her capacity and her right to defend her mother's cortisone death/ murder case against doctors, hospitals, and attorneys who made a poor legal decision motivated by race, political and economic gain (RICO)? 2. Must a court overlook evidence of past disciplinary action against doctors, attorneys, and court officials who made poor legal decisions? 3. Did the lower court abuse it's discretion in not allowing the entry of pertinent medical records, which clearly demonstrate medical malpractice/ murder? 4. Must a court be the only authority responsible for the reshaping of statues to fit the new world we live in to deter fraud and human abuse? 5. Must a court continue to have the authority to protect all vulnerable citizens from exploitations? 6. Must a court bare the burden of interpreting what is dishonesty or misrepresentation of facts that constitute penalty or not?
