Question presented
1. Whether municipal judges and prosecutors are entitled to absolute judicial or prosecutorial immunity when they act in the clear absence of subject-matter jurisdiction and in coordination with retaliatory enforcement actions against a private resident home? 2. Whether retaliatory arrests, citations, and prosecutions initiated in response to a home’s owner protected petitioning activity violate the First and Fourteenth Amendments? 3. Whether summary dismissal of constitutional claims without evidentiary review violates procedural due process and the right of access to courts, particularly where liberty interests are implicated? 4. Whether repeated warrantless arrests and enforcement actions, combined with judicial refusal to review evidence, violate the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments? 5. Whether denial of meaningful language access and ADA accommodations to a pro se litigant facing arrest, fines, and incarceration violates due process and federal disability law?
