Whether the Rhode Island Supreme Court's interpretation of interlocutory appeals and disbarment proceedings violated constitutional due process and First Amendment protections
Did this Court ’s Abney v. United States, 431 U.S. 651 (1977), decision limit the permissibility of interlocutory appeals by defendants in criminal cases to ONLY double jeopardy claims? If, as Abney makes clear, no such limitation exists, did the R.I. Supreme Court ’s (“RISC ”) intentional defiance of this Court ’s binding case-law unconstitutionally strip Petitioner of Due Process, Equal Protection, Etc. Guarantees? Did RISC violate Petitioner ’s First Amendment rights against retaliation for Petitioner ’s exercise of Constitutionally Protected Free Speech when RISC unconstitutionally, etc. stripped Petitioner of his RI law license for, as RISC expressly stated in its disbarment order, exposing the R.I. Judiciary ’s corruption, etc. and has, to date, refused to reinstate Petitioner? Has the R.I. Judiciary ’s repeated defiances of Constitutional Guarantees, this Court ’s binding caselaw, etc. (e.g. RIJ intentionally defying this Court ’s Abney ruling, RIJ ruling Petitioner isn’t entitled to exculpatory evidence, RIJ disallowing Petitioner from subpoenaing defense witnesses, RIJ allowing Prosecution to prohibit both Petitioner and any potential future jury from reviewing the supposed evidence (the bills) of the alleged crime, etc., etc., etc. (some briefly discussed herein)) demonstrated that it Page i of x is prima facie impossible for Petitioner to receive a fair process at any level, etc. (hence the reason for Petitioner ’s Habeas Petition)? Does Petitioner ’s interlocutory appeal fit within the collateral-order exception to the final-judgment rule? Did RISC ’s intentional refusal to enforce, comply with, etc. R.I. Law (e.g. R.I.G.L. §9-24-7), etc. (guaranteeing Petitioner the right to appeal interlocutorily) unconstitutionally strip Petitioner of Due Process, Equal Protection, Etc. Guarantees? Page ii of x
