Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether a state supreme court's unanimous denial of a petition for writ of certiorari precludes subsequent motions for reargument or stay of enforcement

Question Presented (from Petition)

No question identified. : Reasons For Granting Extension of time for filing Petition The specific reasons why an extension of time is justified are due to petitioners needing to get acclimated to the supreme court rules and perform legal research properly to prepare for two petitions to meet and exceed requirements stipulated in Supreme Court Rule 10. Other specific reasons why an extension of time is justified is stated in the statute 28 U.S.C. 2101(c) and Supreme Court Rules 13 section 5. Section (c ) and Rule 30 section 2. Extending the deadline would give him the best opportunity to prepare both petitions showing a state court of last resort decision on an important federal question conflicts with the United States Court of appeals and also showing that a state court has decided an important question of federal law that has not been but should be settled by this court and conflicts with relevant prior decisions of this court. Petitioner would show how his petitions are extremely important not only to the petitioner but to others similarly situated and in the nation's public interest. Conclusion Petitioner requests this court to extend the time to file his petitions because of the preparation needed for both petitions and the fact his request was made within the 10 day time frame and is deemed appropriate under supreme court rules 13.5,30.2 and statute 28 U.S.C. 2101(c) Respectfully Submitted, Elbert Gaynor Address TBA 202-300-3874 Gregory Hilton, Cle Supreme Court of Maryla 2/26/2025 9:13 4 IN THE ELBERT GAYNOR * SUPREME COURT y * OF MARYLAND * Petition No. 138 EXTENDED STAY AMERICA + September Term, 2024 ~ Cit.
