Access to federal courts

1. Whether a federal court may dismiss a pro se civil action for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction, rather than permit ordinary merits analysis or amendment, where the pleadings and supplemental submissions invoke federal law, challenge conduct by both sovereign and nonsovereign actors, and are not wholly insubstantial or frivolous. 2. Whether due process and this Court’s pro se precedents permit affirmance after clerk-recognized filing irregularities, mislabeled electronic-filing options, and repeated requests to correct or supplement the record, without a meaningful opportunity to cure procedural defects. 3. Whether a court of appeals may deny all pending motions and maintain broad provisional sealing of appellate filings where the sealing and docketing process itself allegedly impaired the litigant’s access to the record and meaningful preparation of further review.
