Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Did the Court of Appeals violate the Petitioner's Due Process rights by affirming the District Court's sua sponte dismissal of a detailed civil RICO complaint as "delusional", despite the complaint being supported by medically verified evidence of chemical battery delivered via water & HVAC systems, specific documentation of $50K SSA imposter fraud, alleged subsequent murder to key witnesses-thereby substituting judicial fact-finding for legal review and denying discovery?

2. Did the lower courts err in dismissing claims under 42 U.S.C. 1983 & 1985 when the most recent acts of the Enterprise utilized a state-level administration body (Baltimore County Housing) and digital fraud (fake email) to wrongfully revoke the Petitioner's housing voucher immediately following a family hospitalization due to chemical exposure, demonstrating an ongoing conspiracy to deprive the Petitioner of basic rights through economic and physical duress.

3. Did the Court of Appeals improperly fail to apply the requisite liberal pleading standard for pro se litigants who are demonstrably suffering from documented physical and cognitive impairment resulting directly from the chemical battery and continuous racketeering activity alleged against the Enterprise, effectively denying the Petitioner access to the courts?

4. Did the lower courts err in failing to recognize a continuing pattern of racketeering activity under 18 U.S.C. 1962 (c), where the alleged Enterprise, comprising high-level government officials, escalated its criminal conduct after dismissal to include the alleged murder of an Election Supervisor and a Police Officer to conceal electoral fraud, demonstrating "open and persistent resistance to laws" that requires immediate intervention by this Court?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Did the Court of Appeals violate the Petitioner's Due Process rights by affirming the District Court's sua sponte dismissal of a detailed civil RICO complaint as 'delusional', despite the complaint being supported by medically verified evidence of chemical battery, specific documentation of SSA imposter fraud, and alleged witness murder, thereby substituting judicial factfinding for legal review and denying discovery?
