Did the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit err in its rulings on this case?
QUESTIONS FOR REVIEW I understand that the Supreme Court only takes the most important cases, but the process seems unequal, as mostly only politically motivated cases, or those entrenched . in the media get priority. It would be nice if there was a Supreme Court for average citizens with really important : cases, as the current process makes the average citizen seem invisible, or too small to recognize. The first time I filed a petition in this court, the court conferenced, but did not grant the petition. This time should be different for a couple of important reasons. The ‘ first is a solution. The last time this court conferenced on my case, I had no solution for the obstruction of justice that the States 11» Amendment immunity creates against my fair property rights claim. I have provided the framework for that solution in this petition. The second reason is that ; there has finally been a similar circumstance to mine. The last time this action was brought before this court there had not been a case like it. Florida’s lottery recently had a winner whose ticket was lost in the mail. As with my case, Florida Lottery’s initial response was no ticket no prize, but they changed their mind as there was no fault on the part of the winner for the lost ticket. The director was on record saying they would bend the rules for her. My case is similar, as I was playing by the rules, and the Washington State Lottery was at fault. Please realize that picking the winning numbers is special. 1. Did the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit err when it did not recognize that my case has federal subject matter jurisdiction, Standing, and is based on a federal cause of action? t 2. Did the Ninth Circuit err when they did not waive Washington State’s eleventh Amendment immunity, citing that my case seeks damages when it does not? 8. Did the ninth circuit err when they deemed my ; case frivolous, due to Washington State’s 11 Amendment immunity, when my case does not seek damages, and when there are many serious issues surrounding my case? ; 4. Did the District Court err when they dismissed my case citing that I did not bring any new information to support my case to the court. 5. Was the Washington State Court of Appeals decision erroneous because; the court did not account for fair play, or that mutual assent had formed a contractual relationship before the violation of the rules/terms on the , Lottery’s part? ; , 6. Did the Washington State Court of Appeals err by : misrepresenting facts and showing bias for the Lottery, when ruling in a case that involves summary judgement, where all reasonable facts and inferences were supposed to be held in a light most favorable to the non-moving party? . 7. Should the 11t amendment include a provision to protect fair property rights from State Court judicial bias, and to preserve the protections afforded within the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments that garner to the inalienable rights of life, liberty, property, and Due process? ; u
