Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED This petition presents an opportunity for this Court to hold whether the Superior Court of California has exceeded its jurisdiction in awarding attorney’s ; fees in excess of its limited jurisdiction amount set by “ the California Legislature, and sanctioning Petitioner for his advocacy.' The questions presented are: e (1) Can a limited jurisdiction court of California award attorneys’ fees in excess of its jurisdictional limit of $10,000.00? e (2) Is it justified to sanction a litigant for his advocacy and exercise of his right to file a meritorious appeal? 1 Forty four (44) years ago Petitioner fled his homeland with oppressive regime and corrupt judiciary for this great nation, where, John Adams eloquently stated “we are nation of laws, not men”; meaning the rule of the law is respected and there are checks and balances in place to make sure that Due Process and Equal Protection Clause of the laws is adhered to. It has taken Petitioner over 10 years of legal battle in the lower courts to make sure the rule of the law is adhered to. This Petition provides the opportunity for this Court to intervene by granting the Petition and uphold the rule of the law as it should.
