Limits on court filings

1. Whether, after Cisco, the Alien Tort Statute (ATS) cause of action for violation of safe conducts reaches officials’ coercion, forgery, and fraudulent procurement of an alien’s passport while the alien was in federal custody. 2. Whether the Blackstone-three causes of action that Cisco left undisturbed include principal-by-concern liability and conspiracy liability, or whether Cisco’s holding that courts cannot create Alien Tort Statute (ATS) causes of action forecloses them. 3. Whether a court may dismiss a Little Tucker Act claim as untimely without determining the date on which the claim accrued. 4. Whether the constitutional right of access to the courts and the Due Process Clause permit a federal court to impose a pre-filing injunction that bars any future suit “related to” prior litigation, and directs that such filings be struck without review, on the strength of aggregate litigation history and without findings of specific abusive conduct to which the bar is tailored.
