Question Presented (from Petition)

Does the Fourteenth Amendment guarantee of equal protection under the law give Petitioner standing for the protection of his contract by the Attorney General after it was shown in black and white that every one of the 40 words of the contract that defined his rights were unlawfully replaced by a New York State Court judge with 70 different words that voided the $70-90 million dollars worth of air rights that were appurtenant and promised contractually to be appurtenant to his 12th Floor and Roof Unit Apartment?
