Question Presented (OCR Extract)

No question identified. : TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICE SAMUEL A. ALITO, JR., ASSOCIATE JUSTICE OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES: Pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 13.5, Petitioner Ruth Torres respectfully applies for an extension of time of 60 days, to and including April 3, 2026, within which to file a petition for a writ of certiorari to review the judgment of the United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit. 1. Judgment to Be Reviewed. The judgment of the Fifth Circuit was entered on June 10, 2025. A timely petition for rehearing was DENIED on November 8, 2025. Accordingly, the current deadline for filing a petition for a writ of certiorari is February 2, 2026. 2. Jurisdiction. This Court has jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1254(1). 3. Reason for Extension. Petitioner respectfully requests this extension for the following reasons: a. Due to pro se litigant’s health issues which required medically necessary surgery on December 19, 2025 and recovery, separate injury requiring emergency care on January 23, 2026 and recovery. b. Due to weather issues commencing January 24, 2026 which imped the ability to conduct research. SCOTUS_Motion for Extension of Time Page 2 of 11 The petition will raise substantial federal questions, including: a. Do constitutional violations apply and is declaratory relief applicable or does judicial immunity bar any relief from orders issued by Bonnie Lee Goldstein? b. Does the Texas State Commission on Judicial Conduct sanction against Bonnie Lee Goldstein support disqualification and nullity of all orders issued by Bonnie Lee Goldstein? i. Texas state judicial officer, Bonnie Lee Goldstein appointed an “IT Expert”, based on petition for injunction absent statutorily required bond and other requirements. Upon order, Petitioner did submit and the IT Expert conducted search, seizure, mirrorimaging and destruction of Petitioner’s personal property, a lap top and IPhone. ii. Judge Goldstein held Petitioner in contempt immediately following and as requested in an ex-parte email from opposing counsel absent show cause notice or hearing. Judge Goldstein thereby struck Petitioners counter-claims with prejudice. SCOTUS_Motion for Extension of Time Page 3 of 11 iii, The Texas State Commission on Judicial Conduct issued a private sanction against Bonnie Lee Goldstein finding Judge Goldstein denied the litigant due process. iv. The above facts are not disputed by the parties or the court. All orders issued by Bonnie Lee Goldstein continue to stand and harm Petitioner denying access to judicial relief from harm caused by parties in the underlying case. v. Newly assigned State District Court Judge Dale Tillery and state appellate judges named herein denied Petitioner relief from Judge Goldstein’s orders. ce. Do constitutional violations apply and is declaratory relief applicable or does judicial immunity bar any relief on order and permanent injunction issued by Texas Administrative Regional Judge (“ARJ”), Raymond G. Wheless? SCOTUS_Motion for Extension of Time Page 4 of 11 i. ARJ Wheless suddenly appeared to preside over and grant Unauthorized Practice of Law Committee’s (“UPLC”) Motion for Summary Judgment in a case not assigned to him and for which no notice of appearance was provided nor notice of the assigned judge’s unavailability. ii. This appearance occurred after ARJ Wheless was recused in a related prior proceeding where Petitioner sought records to establish if UPLC had authority to bring suit per precedent. ARJ Wheless’s lack of authority to preside over case is lack of the court’s jurisdiction. iii. UPLC’s petition failed to show authority to bring suit and UPLC refused to provide evidence of authority or respond to record requests to show authority. UPLC did not provide vote by the UPLC Committee authorizing the filing of suit despite Petitioner's diligent adherence to process to obtain. UPLC’s failure to show authority to file suit failed to establish the court’s jurisdiction. SCOTUS_Motion for
