Question Presented (OCR Extract)

No question identified. : Petitioner plans to file in this Court a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, asking this Court to review the final judgment by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. The Circuit Court issued its unpublished Decision on January 19, 2023. See Exhibit A. Petition for Rehearing En Banc and Petition for Rehearing was filed on April 05, 2023. Additionally, Petitioner wrote detailed and personalized letters to the Hon. Circuit Court judges that were filed on April 24, 2023. See Exhibit B. The very next day, the final Order dismissing his Case was filed on April 25, 2023. It is significant to observe that this Decision was filed a mere twenty (20) days from the filing of the Petition for Rehearing En Banc and Petition for Rehearing. See Exhibit C. Petitioner requests this extension of time to file his Petition for a Writ of Certiorari based on the following specific reasons: Numerous serious irregularities had been committed by the Federal Courts. The United States District Court for the District of Maryland resorted to a large number of due process violations, including but not limited to the Destruction of Evidence by Officer/Officers of the Court. See USCA4 Appeal: 22-1772 Doe: 33 Filed: 04/05/2023 Pg: 9 of 29. In addition to this, there are several errors in the Decisions of the Circuit Court Judges. These numerous violations and wrongdoings need to be explained in detail in the Petition of Appellant. As a result of these egregious wrongdoings, both by Petitioner’s adversaries as well as by successive Courts, he suffered serious harm for a protracted period of time and needs additional time to include and describe these facts in his aforementioned submission. Shortly after Petitioner had filed his Petition for Rehearing En Banc, he had written a crucial and comprehensive letter regarding serious and sensitive facets of the Case to the Chief Judge of the Fourth Circuit, Hon. Roger L. Gregory, among several other Judges of that Court. Even before 24 hours had elapsed after Petitioner had sent the aforementioned letters to all of them, the Case itself was hurriedly dismissed. See Exhibits B and C. The aforesaid elaborate letters were unlikely to have been read and deliberated upon by all the Judges in such a short period of time. What is more, each one of them arrived at the same decision (of not requesting a poll for this Petition for En Banc). There is confirmed and verifiable evidence that there has been ‘destruction of evidence’ in the US District Court by the Officer/Officers of the Court. Therefore, in the interest of justice and for this Case, it is imperative to ascertain the extent of the violation of due process. Although Petitioner had been painstakingly trying hard to ascertain the extent of the lack of due process, he is still unable to confirm whether the Chief Judge among other Judges of the Circuit Court even got to read the aforementioned letters, which Petitioner had sent personally to each one of them by name. This is because the Order was filed within less than 24 hours of Petitioner’s letters to them, as explained above. In addition, Petitioner had written an important letter that was personally addressed to the Clerk of the Circuit Court, and unfortunately to date he is not sure if she actually got to even read Petitioner's letter. See Exhibit D. This confirmation is essential in Petitioner’s pursuit of justice for the sake of completeness, This Application is to request for an increase in the time to file the Petition for Writ of Certiorari because this allotted limit would just not be adequate to do justice to illustrate and bring out the very large number of unlawful actions, some even criminal in nature. Refer USCA4 Appeal: 22-1772 Doc: 30-1 Filed: 03/07/2023 Pg: 1 of 6. Many of these illegal actions are even deliberate. Unlawful and unacceptable actions have recently been committed again by another Of
