Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED FOR REVIEW Question 1. In Re: DCCoA 19-5047 When a United States judge refuses for multiple months to adjudicate a Rule 59(e) Motion setting forth his acts of misconduct in support of the institutionalized executive branch (IRS) record falsification program, can Circuits impose a duty on litigants to prove such refusal, standing alone, (in derogation of ; the contextual acts allegedly committed by the officer), is itself supposedly “egregious or unreasonable”, before the litigants can secure mandamus relief? Question 2. In Re: DCCoA 19-5047 Can litigants present: their case to appellate courts by citing documents stored on the “PACER System”, thus obviating need to produce outmoded, expensive, paper-based, comb-bound “records on appeal”? Question 3. In Re: DCCoA 19-5041 ; When appellants withdraw appeals and seek return of the filing fee before any adjudication is performed, can Circuits impose a burden to prove “circumstances warrant [ ] a refund”? ; .
