What it's about

He argues the rulings mishandled his claims about financing, taxes paid without a deed, retaliation, and constitutional rights.

Carmack said he paid property taxes for three years without receiving a deed while trying to use the agreement’s option to buy the property.

Carmack argued that the state courts mishandled claims about financing, taxes paid without a deed, and retaliation in the property-option dispute.

Question presented

1. Whether the Minnesota courts deprived Petitioner of procedural due process and equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment, and substantially burdened his rights under the Second Amendment, by granting summary judgment and limiting discovery in this housing purchase agreement case, where Petitioner paid property taxes for three years without a deed, pursued the purchase option with the only licensed lender tied to the agreement, faced fraudulent advice to “ go seek financing elsewhere, ” retaliatory conduct by Wendy Jo Sonnier (she/her), obstruction of Petitioner ’ s independence written in the complaint through removal of law enforcement, pro se barriers, and denial of the clocks interpretation as protected First Amendment speech and religious expression tied to equal access to law enforcement? 2. Whether the lower courts ’ holdings — that Minn. Stat. § 504B.441 creates only a defense rather than an affirmative claim, that contract arguments were forfeited, and that no genuine issues of material fact existed on financing fraud, the option timeline, tax payments without a deed, and retaliation — conflict with this Court ’ s precedents on due process, equal protection, protected property interests, pro se rights, and review of housing matters involving private actors obstructing a citizen ’ s independence and access to law enforcement?
