Question Presented (from Petition)

Question # 1. MY CLAIM OF ERROR IS UNPRECEDENTED IN ANY U.S. COURT TO DATE. IS IT NOT THE SUPREME COURT'S DUTY TO CONSIDER UNPRECEDENTED ERRORS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO THE PUBLIC INTEREST OF THE ENTIRE U.S. ?

Question # 2. MY ERROR OCCURRED AFTER MY DIRECT APPEAL DEADLINE HAD ALREADY EXPIRED. I WAS DENIED MY RIGHT TO HAVE A DIRECT APPEAL, BY THE SHEER TIMING OF THE ERROR. DID TH.E TIMING OF THE ERROR VIOLATE MY RIGHT TO CHALLENGE SAID ERROR ON A DIRECT APPEAL, WITH THE EFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL ?

Dues-Lion # 3. MY ERROR ACTUALLY ERASED A CONSTITUTION RIGHT, OUT OF EXISTENCE. AN ERROR LIKE MINE HAS NEVER HAPPEND IN U.S. HISTORY. THE U.S. COURTS NEVER COULD IMAGINE THAT AN ERROR SUCH AS MINE CDULDHAPPE, SO THERE ARE NO EXISTING U.S. LAWS ADEQUATE, ENOUGH TO ADDRESS MY ERROR. IS IT A VIOLATION OF THE 14TH AMENDMENT TO ADDRESS MY ERROR UNDER EXISTING U.S. LAW?

Question # 4. ON SEPTEMBER 15TH 2006, THE COURT SUA SPONTE, WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE RESENTENCED ME UNDER (MCL 769.10), WHICH RETROACTIVELY INCREASED MY PUNISHMENT. DID THE COURT'S SUA SPONTE (HABITUAL-2) RESENTENCE VIOLATE MY PLEA BARGAIN STANDARDS AND EX POST FACTO LAWS ?

Question Presented (AI Summary)
