The petition challenges how Sun's federal civil-rights case was handled in the lower courts.
Question presented
1. Whether a Federal Appellate Panel denies due process and abdicates its judicial role by overlooking highly irregular, multi-judge inter-district shuffling — consisting of five successive transfer orders across distinct federal districts within a statutory lookback window—thereby permitting the weaponization of administrative mechanisms to shield interested judicial defendants and summarily deny access to the courts? 2. Whether the lower courts violate the Fifth Amendment ’ s guarantee of a full and fair opportunity to be heard by implementing an asymmetric procedural framework that routinely embraces respondents' unilateral submissions while suppressing the verified evidence, physical trauma, and colorable claims of an unrepresented civil rights survivor? 3. Whether a federal court acts as a neutral guardian of justice when it intentionally misrepresents a factual record, distorts a verified complaint, and invokes defensive, preclusive logic to insulate documented institutional misconduct from independent Article III review? 4. Whether a federal tribunal fundamentally subverts the integrity of the judicial process and commits a Fraud Upon the Court by engaging in ex parte collusion with an interested primary Defendant to adopt a completely fabricated, extrajudicial factual narrative and incorporate that ghostwritten deception verbatim into its final dispositive orders to summarily terminate a viable civil rights action?
What happens next
The Court's next step is to decide whether to hear the case. No oral argument or decision date is set.
