Question Presented (AI Summary)

Does the Equal Protection Clause circumscribe the Nebraska Supreme Court's discretion to disregard a Color of Law adjudication?

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED Does the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution of the State of Nebraska (Neb. Const., art. I, § 1-3) coupled with the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution (U.S. Const., Amdt. 14, § 1, Cl. 4) circumscribe the Nebraska Supreme Court’s discretion to disregard an appeal of a plainly Color of Law adjudication by the Nebraska Appellate Court? Is a Color of Law adjudication by the Nebraska Appellate Court, the primary supervisory Court (appeal by right), coupled with the Nebraska Supreme Court’s (appeal by permission) failure to address such adjudication, an affront to the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (U.S. Const., Amdt. 5, § 4), as applied to State Court action under the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (U.S. Const., Amdt. 14, § 1, Cl. 3). Restating the above in common sense and in common language — Does Nebraska’s primary supervisory court, the Nebraska Appellate Court, offend the Constitutions of both the United States and the State, by arbitrarily departing from the primary statutory law, by acting without Subject Matter Jurisdiction and by mandating Neb. District Court enter a judgment without Subject Matter Jurisdiction by reason of the Internal Affairs Doctrine; and further, Can the Nebraska Supreme Court have the discretion to turn a blind eye to such action by the Nebraska Appellate Court?
