Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION(S) PRESENTED 1. Whether a bankruptcy court has the jurisdiction to overrule an Aleppo Syria foreign probate court order or whether the Rooker-Feldman doctrine applies to a foreign court order? 2. Whether a bankruptcy trustee is a federal agent who can be sued under a Bivens action? (there is a split between the Third and Ninth Circuit Courts on this issue) 3. Whether the lower court’s holding that knowledge of a bankruptcy action satisfies the Notice requirement of due process is unconstitutional, particularly when there is overwhelming evidence showing Petitioner having no knowledge of the action? 4. Whether Bankruptcy Rule 9011 sanctions require a finding of one of the four requirement listed in 9011(b)(1)-(4) or a finding of bad faith to allow for punitive fines?
