Motion Picture Association of America and order Disney to pay that amount, let him keep his claimed U.S. copyrights, and retire judges he calls “fallen.”

Perez cites a 2004 Ninth Circuit decision, Rossi v. Motion Picture Association of America, as a basis for the relief he requests.

Question presented

Whether the US Supreme Court wants to mediate a settlement of $54,081.000.000, apologies, and licenses via GRANTED; or whether the Court enforces the case law of ‘ Rossi v. Motion Picture Association of America Inc.. ’ (9th Cir, No. 03'16034, [2004]) bv ordering the Disney Villains to pay the $54.081,000.000, retiring the Fallen Judges, and letting the US Army Veteran 1LT Alejandro Evaristo Perez keep his US copyrights in any US Federal?

What happens next

The next step is for the Court to decide whether to hear the petition. No oral argument or decision date is scheduled.
