Fairness of guilty pleas

1. Whether due process under the Fifth Amendment is violated when a federal judge engages in conduct that creates an objective risk of bias throughout the proceedings, including the denial of essential defense motions and ex parte communications that malign the Petitioner's character, thereby compromising the fairness and integrity of the judicial and appellate process? 2. Whether the Fifth Amendment and Sixth Amendment are violated when a federal defendant ’ s guilty plea is obtained under conditions of prolonged solitary confinement, inadequate mental-health treatment, and misleading or constitutionally deficient advice from counsel, rendering the plea involuntary or otherwise constitutionally invalid, and whether a conviction and restitution order may stand when they rest upon such a plea? 3. Whether the Seventh Circuit denied Petitioner constitutionally meaningful appellate review when appointed counsel filed an Anders submission and was permitted to withdraw despite Petitioner ’ s pro se presentation of substantial challenges to a $410,000 restitution judgment and newly presented evidence, and whether the appellate court was required to provide the safeguards required by Anders v. California and Penson v. Ohio before terminating the appeal? 4. Whether the Fourth Amendment permits federal authorities to rely upon evidence and testimony from a state investigation when newly available evidence indicates that a state investigator allegedly obtained warrants through knowing or reckless falsehoods or omissions and later testified before the federal grand jury that indicted the defendant?
