Question Presented (from Petition)

Whether the United States Court of Appeals for the
Seventh Circuit erred in denying the petition for writ
of mandamus (Case No. 24-3028) on November 13,
2024, without consideration of the substantial
constitutional claims raised by the petitioner, thereby
blocking any appellate review.

Whether the Supreme Court's application of Rule 39.8,
labeling the petitioner's prior filing as frivolous,
violated due process and imposed undue barriers on
indigent litigants, stigmatizing legitimate claims and
obstructing access to justice.

Whether the cumulative actions of the lower courts
and the Supreme Court infringed upon the petitioner's
Second Amendment rights by effectively disarming the
petitioner through administrative and legal sanctions
without procedural safeguards or an avenue for
appeal.

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the Seventh Circuit erred in denying mandamus and whether the Supreme Court's application of Rule 39.8 violated due process and obstructed access to justice for an indigent litigant
