Harold R. Stanley, et al. v. United States District Court for the District of Columbia
Question 1. In Re: DCCoA 19-5047
When a United States judge refuses for multiple months to adjudicate a Rule 59(e) Motion setting forth his acts of misconduct in support of the institutionalized executive branch (IRS) record falsification program, can Circuits impose a duty on litigants to prove such refusal, standing alone, (in derogation of the contextual acts allegedly committed by the officer), is itself supposedly "egregious or unreasonable", before the litigants can secure mandamus relief?
Question 2. In Re: DCCoA 19-5047
Can litigants present their case to appellate courts by citing documents stored on the "PACER System", thus obviating need to produce outmoded, expensive, paper-based, comb-bound "records on appeal"?
Question 3. In Re: DCCoA 19-5041
When appellants withdraw appeals and seek return of the filing fee before any adjudication is performed, can Circuits impose a burden to prove "circumstances warrant [] a refund"?
When a judge refuses to adjudicate a Rule 59(e) motion alleging misconduct, can mandamus relief be conditioned on proving the refusal itself is 'egregious or unreasonable'?
