Whether a federal appellate court can summarily dismiss a pro se civil rights appeal as frivolous under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2) without providing meaningful appellate review of constitutional due process claims

1. Whether a stay is warranted where the Ninth Circuit dismissed a federal civil-rights appeal as “frivolous” under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2), despite the record containing substantial federal evidence—including docketed filings from the Southern District of New York PROMESA Title III proceedings— directly relevant to the issues raised in the appeal. 2. Whether a stay is warranted to preserve Applicant’s access to appellate review where the Ninth Circuit's dismissal forecloses consideration of constitutional issues, whistleblower protections, and federal statutory obligations material to the underlying case. INTRODUCTION On November 19, 2025, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit dismissed Applicant’s civil-rights appeal, Case No. 25-5780, as “frivolous” under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a), (e)(2). The order simultaneously denied in forma pauperis status and directed that “no further filings will be entertained,” effectively terminating appellate review. Applicant seeks only one form of emergency relief at this time: a temporary stay of the dismissal order so that he may file a petition for certiorari presenting the underlying legal issues to this Court.
