What it's about

This pending petition appears to challenge a state court’s power to issue and enforce an order against Linda Annette Kpaka. The case centers on the scope of a state court’s authority and its ability to carry out its own rulings.

Question presented

1. Whether a state court may enter and enforce an eviction judgement where the landlord lacked legal authority under state and federal housing regulations, where the judgement was obtained in violation of federal due-process rights, where the state received and administered federal EARP funds subject to federal statutes providing appropriate use of federal COVID-1 9 funds and related tenant deaths such that relief under all WRITS ACT is necessary to protect this court ’ s jurisdiction. 2. Whether a state court may enter and enforce an eviction judgement against Black Indigenous residents where the landlord lacked legal authority, where the judgement was obtained in violation of federal due-process and equal-protections rights, where the state courts actions disproportionately harmed black indigenous residents including two deaths and multiple injuries and where the judgement obstructs the petitioner ’ s ability to pursue federal investigations into misuse of federal funds such that relief under the ALL Writs Act is necessary to protect this?
