Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED Respectfully, does the federal government give unequal right to a free United States citizen and give unequal right to the United States Constitution when judiciary, specifically under 28 US.C.§453, requires standard of review, 28 U.S.C. §1915, because of Local Rule 5.4 U.S. district court for the Northern District of New York? For civil action filed, a free U.S. citizen, determined poor, is named in standard of review, 28 U.S.C. §1915,“prisoner.” Yet, for civil action filed, a free U.S. citizen, rich, does not have same standard of review and is not named “prisoner.” For free U.S. citizen Shields filing civil action, does governmental use of this different standard of review, 28 U.S.C. §1915, violate security of “Blessings of Liberty” under the United States Constitution preamble, undo equal right to the poor and to the rich, and undo 28 U.S.C.§453 ? . PARTIES and Related Cases The parties are the same as on the caption of the case. Application to this Court for a writ of certiorari to review this case, commenced in U.S. district court, in review by the Second Circuit # 20-3427, is made at this time, please, before judgment under Rule 11. No pending cases exist, except the Second Circuit’s # 20-3427. Shields has filed principal Brief with
