Daniel William Rudd v. City of Norton Shores, Michigan, et al.
Question not identified.
No question identified. : 8.) I will be petitioning for review of the ruling that was issued by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals on June 8, 2023 (Rudd v. City of Norton Shores, No. 22-1229 (6th Cir. June 8, 2023). 4.) At present, the petition for certiorari would need to be filed on or before September 6, 2023. I am making this request on August 24, 2023, which is more than 10 days before the petition would ordinarily be due. There is no reason why the requested extension would create prejudice or cause inconvenience to the respondents. 5.) I have not previously requested an extension from this Court and I am confident that no further extensions will be needed. 6.) The petition I am preparing involves a matter of substantial importance to the public. At the pleading stage, the Sixth Circuit issued a published opinion that has been already been cited favorably more than 60 times. Rudd v. City of Norton Shores, 977 F.3d 503 (6th Cir. 2020). However, the Sixth Circuit’s rulings at the summary judgement stage run contrary to this Court’s long-standing precedent. My petition will also demonstrate that certiorari is warranted by additional factors under Rule 10(a) & 10(c). 7.) The events complained of in the underlying federal litigation created significant financial hardship for my family, including substantial damage to the small business that previously provided for the needs of my family. 8.) | While I am in the process of pursuing a new career, our financial obligations are met on a basis. An affidavit and motion to proceed in forma pauperis will accompany my petition for a writ of certiorari. It will demonstrate that I do not have any savings, equity, or retirements funds that I can borrow from to pay for an attorney or cover my family’s basic living expenses while I work on this matter. 9.) The relief I am requesting is permitted under Rule 13.5. A 60-day extension will allow me to complete my petition for certiorari without having to reduce my working hours and the income my family relies upon. WHEREFORE: I am requesting an order allowing me to file my petition for A writ of certiorari on or before November 29, 2023. August 24, 2023 By my signature below, I swear and affirm under penalty of perjury that the factual statements in this application are true and accurate. iW Daniel William Rudd (Pro Se) 201 S Lake Ave. Spring Lake, MI 49456 | 231.557.2532
