Question Presented (from Petition)

How could the trial court have had proper jurisdiction to dismiss res judicata when I am required to serve the adverse parties copies of this petition, yet at the trial level not one of them was served a single shred of paper despite my request that the U.S Marshalls be directed to do so?

Are the Courts of appeal really the final authority on procedural posture? If so how did Gideon v Wainright, Bush V Gore and probably hundreds of other procedural cases wind up on the docket?

Are the inferior tribunals at the federal level aiding and abetting out of control corruption within Virginia 's municipal and state court system and in naked defiance of this court as it relates to the overturned "Chevron Deference "?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether federal courts lack jurisdiction to dismiss claims on res judicata grounds when adverse parties were not properly served with notice of the petition, and whether appellate courts' resolution of procedural posture questions violates the final authority of this Court
