Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the district court erred in denying Petitioner's motion to compel the Department of Justice to investigate allegations of prosecutorial misconduct, thereby violating his constitutional due process rights?

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

1. Whether the district court erred in denying Petitioner Okechukwu Amadi ’s motion to compel the Department of Justice (“DOT ’) to investigate allegations of prosecutorial misconduct, thereby violating his due process rights under the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution? 2. Whether the DO J has a non-discretionary duty to investigate allegations of prosecutorial misconduct, and whether the district court ’s ruling improperly insulated the DO J from judicial review? 3. Whether judicial oversight is necessary to ensure the DOJ respects constitutional rights, including the right to due process and equal protection under the law? 4. Whether the district court ’s ruling constitutes an abuse of discretion, given the uncontested allegations of prosecutorial misconduct and the lack of justification for the DOJ ’s failure to investigate? 5. Whether exceptional circumstances, including the severity of the alleged prosecutorial misconduct, the potential for widespread injustice, and the recent indictment of the prosecutor on felony charges, warrant extraordinary court intervention via a writ of mandamus to compel the Department of Justice (DOJ) to conduct a thorough investigation?
