Whether a state administrative agency lacking federal jurisdiction can be assigned authority of a state court of record
QUESTIONS PRESENTED The questions presented are: 1. When there is undisputed evidence that a non-court state administrative agency lacks jurisdiction under federal law, whether the Ninth Circuit can disregard the lack of jurisdiction and accept the District Court’s assignment of such agency with the authority of a state court of record (in direct conflict with the state’s constitution). Whether the Ninth Circuit can disregard that a state agency lacking jurisdiction has been used by the federal judges to issue orders to show cause as to attorney discipline that are politically motivated? 2. Whether the lower courts’ enforcement of discriminatory retaliation of a state agency against minority attorneys and enforcement of the state agency’s orders that are void under federal law violates the Civil Rights Act of the 1866 and this Court’s decision in Hurd v. Hodge. 3. Given the October 26, 2021 public promise made before Congress by the national policymaking body for the federal courts, the Judicial Conference of the United States, whether there should be review of the Ninth Circuit’s disregard of the standards for judicial disqualification, established legal precedent of this Court, and its own ii decisions, as a method to punish attorneys and their clients who properly seek to implement a special judicial election in compliance with the Voting Rights Act.
