Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether a state retirement system administrator can unilaterally modify a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) without the alternate payee's consent, potentially violating due process rights

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

No question identified. : 20 21 22 23 24 25 Facts: The 2009 QDRO Order page 3, paragraph 6, and lines 9 to 11 reads: “The Plan is specifically directed to pay benefits pursuant to this Order.” To whom should NPERS have paid the QDRO Order? The QDRO, 2009, Page 3, Paragraph 8, lines 25 to 27, it is saying: “The Alternate Payee is entitled to a portion of the Participant’s retirement benefit based upon a mandatory selection of Option 3.” However, the NPERS retired Respondent Gaston Leon under “Selection of Option 1” (NPERS December 11, 2024, lines 4 and 5; first letter explaining to the Alternate Payee about NPERS administering the Alternate Payee’s funds since Respondent Leon’s retirement, thirteen years ago), and without the Alternate Payee's approval. Because the U. 8. A. Constitution is base of respect, equality, and security of justice, Petitioner is requesting the U. S. Supreme Court to accept the time extension because it is essential to file the Writ of Certiorari, where the Supreme Court will find more details about the Decree for Annulment and the Qualified Domestic Relations Orders requiring to be reviewed and critically observed to come into conclusions of the Nevada Supreme Court and Clark County District Family Court actions of post-judgments and closed case. It is the NPERS administrator's responsibility to administrate the Alternate Payee funds according to the 2009 QDRO Plan, It is the clerk’s responsibility to check the filer's identification and make notes of the filer's name and contact information to avoid forgery, it is the public notaries responsibility to make sure that the person who they are signing for is the same at the identification provided for notarization, as it is the judge's responsibility to read the contracts to find facts of evidence before judging. The Nevada Supreme Court's last judgment was June 13, 2025. However, on May 20, 2025, had unjustly denied the Petitioner’s Petition for Rehearing. The Clark County District Court Family Division’s last Order was vacated on July 15, 2025. The Petitioner is a lady with disabilities who Page 2 of 6 20 21 22 23 24 25 must file the Writ of Certiorari on August 20, 2015, and for what Petitioner makes the Petition to be granted based on these Points and Authorities: 1. According to the Supreme Court of the United States Rule 30, Computation and Extension of Time, “2. An application to extend the time to file a petition for a Writ of Certiorari or to file a jurisdictional statement must be filed at least 10 days before the specified final filing date as computed under these Rules; if filed less than 10 days before the final filing date, such application will not be granted except in the most extraordinary circumstances.” (U.S.C, 2022. P. 41, para 2). Pursuant to “Rule 30. 3 An application to extend the time to file a petition for a writ of certiorari, to file jurisdictional statement, to file a reply brief on the merits, or to file a petition for rehearing of any judgment or decision of the court on the merits shall be made to an individual justice .” (U.S. C, 2022. P. 41, para 3). The Nevada Judicial Code of Conduct, Rule 2. 6 (A) assures by law, the right to be heard. “(B) A judge may encourage parties to a proceeding and their lawyers to settle matters in dispute[,] but shall not act in a manner that coerces any party into settlement. (NAC, 2009. P. 1, para 12). 4. These are the reasons for the Petitioner requesting an extension of time to file the Writ of Certiorari.
