Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION(S) PRESENTED Did the state of Kentucky not facilitate discrimination of Ms. May entirely, because of her disability? Furthermore was it reasonable in US democracy to allow legal procedure to take precedence over justice? It is agreeable for the Ky. Supreme Court to discriminate for Ms. May's not copying official exhibits which were 40 miles away in the capitol, when she is not allowed to drive, according to the Ky. Drivers Licensing Division, and the state clearly failed to accommodate her for the very accommodation the state of Ky. required her to need. The Ky. Supreme Court was told in Ms. May's motion for Discretionary Review (DR), only because her disability she was prevented her from being able to drive. She could not get a ride, was not disability discrimination after her injury? Furthermore was it acceptable for the Ky. Court of Appeals to allow procedure to override justice? ; Was it alright for the Fayette county (Ky.) circuit court not to allow someone to translate for her, when her speech is very hard to hear, and understand? Was it at all fair for Ms. May's motion for someone to . Speak be rearranged to request to repeat what into “represent” in court ? Ms. May never used the word represent, to speak for is to translate was what she wanted. Wasn't the attorneys’ for the Association trying with success, to take advantage specifically of Ms. May's disability? Aren't interpreters for the deaf permitted in court? . ii Was it not completely unreasonable that the condo. Associat (Continental Towers Condominium Association, Southern Management) all misread the very report they overpaid a certified contractor to perform, thus misinterpreting a methamphetamine residue notice posted on a paraplegic tenant's door, and proceeded to e-mail Ms. May (the owner), coincidentally also a paraplegic, that the locks were being changed, and she would not be given a key? The Association also informed Ms. May that her tenant was producing methamphetamine in her condominium, when4 the tenant was not ever charged with this by the police. This is entirely undisputed. Was this not intended to take advantage of anyone disabled? Then did the court not facilitate discrimination against the disabled in Kentucky? Does self representation actually exist in legal matters, particularly civil? The clerk for the Ky. CA, asts as if answering any procedural question is just a violation, and he (Sam Givens) always goes so far as to say, “He cannot give any legal advice.” Excuse me, but since when was answering a statement regarding the proper format procedurally correct when Ms. May was told, “We cannot give any legal advice.” iii
