Towaki Komatsu v. United States, et al.
Whether a pro se litigant experiencing financial hardship and ongoing litigation can be granted an extension of time to file a petition for writ of certiorari
No question identified. : reasons why it was dismissed due to estoppel. The Second Circuit never considered this point about People v. Torres. This Court’s justices also didn’t consider this point in Komatsu v. City of New York, No. 22-6605 (U.S. May 15, 2023) that is hereinafter referred to as “K5” because it wasn’t until after this Court denied my petition for rehearing on 5/15/23 in K5 that the 6/1/23 decision in People v. Torres was issued. The 8/2/23 order that was issued in both K1 and K2 set my 90-day deadline to submit my petition for a writ of certiorari in response to it as 10/31/23. That order is annexed to this letter. Key reasons why I need to be granted the extension of time to prepare and submit the petition for a writ of certiorari to this Court to which I referred at the start of this letter are due to a) other litigation of mine that also requires my attention, time, and financial resources as well as b) undue, substantial, ongoing, and longstanding financial hardships that I’m experiencing largely due to ongoing and longstanding wage-theft and employment blacklisting against me that includes such wage-theft and blacklisting against me that was the subject of Komatsu v. NTT Data, Inc., 22-7102 (U.S. Aug. 21, 2023). Such financial hardships materially impede my ability to both a) print and mail my pending petition for a writ of certiorari both to this Court and to the attorneys for the defendants that this petition concerns and b) take care of other necessary expenses. The remainder of my reasons for seeking a deadline extension are mostly identical to those that I provided in the request for a deadline extension that corresponds to Komatsu v. New York, No. 22-5681 (U.S. Nov. 21, 2022). This Court granted that earlier request for a deadline extension for that other appeal of mine. There will be no prejudice to the opposing parties nor their attorncys if this request for an extension of time is granted.
