Question Presented (from Petition)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED . I, James W. Knipfer, am a State of Wisconsin Prisoner who has been attempting to appeal my illegal convictions. The violations by Judges.and Government officials keep mounting. First there was a mentally ill Judge who made numerous erroneous rulings. He died from his disease. Then there was a Public Defender/Appellate Lawyer who stole the master record from the courthouse, causing great @ delays. Then a series of new Judges who were very confused about jurisdiction and refused to consult the record for verification of errors I brought to their attention. Next, the Assistant A/Gs who argued theories of law that were not relevant, mistated dates, confused names and records with some one not I. Then the County D/As “:.o refused to comply with record requests that clearly a favored my position, I have endured a series of lower courts ; he refusing to do their jobs, REVIEW MY CASE. My Constitutional Rights “ have been shattered. I have diligently and properly followed the rules and proceeded to Federal Court on a Writ Of Habeas Corpus. The Federal Court dismissed and denied a COA. The QUESTIONS PRESENTED in this Petition are: i. CAN THERE BE A "PERPETUAL JURY", “PHANTOM JURY", "FOREVER , JURY" or a "JURY on a JUDGES' WHIM", in the UNITED STATES? I. DID THE 7th CIRCUIR CASE LAW PRESENTED PROPERLY INVOKE JURISDICTION IN THE TRIAL COURT? : MI. WHEN THE LOWER COURTS FAIL TO REVIEW A CASE IS IT PROPER FOR THEM TO DISMISS BY DEFAULT AND BLAME THE PETITIONER FOR NOT DEVELOPING THE ISSUES? “5 : 5 \ ii
