Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Whether the Eleventh Circuit violated due process by simultaneously denying a Rule 60(b)(6) motion and a petition for panel rehearing, both based on newly discovered evidence, without explanation or comment, contrary to Goldberg v. Kelly, 397 U.S. 254 (1970).

2. Whether the use of coerced affidavits obtained from a severely dyslexic individual with known cognitive and speech impairments to justify a wiretap warrant violates constitutional protections under Colorado v. Connelly, 479 U.S. 157 (1986).

3. Whether the failure to investigate credible claims of fabricated evidence and government misconduct, including the role of FBI Agent Edward Traeger (deceased), warrants Supreme Court intervention under Banks v. Dretke, 540 U.S. 668 (2004).

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the Eleventh Circuit violated due process by simultaneously denying a Rule 60(b)(6) motion and a petition for panel rehearing without explanation, and whether the use of coerced affidavits from a dyslexic individual violates constitutional protections
