Question Presented (from Petition)

Does it violate equal protection and access, is it a property deprivation (i.e., the civil action for damages) and FRBP and 28 Usc 158 violation when a Bankruptcy Court clerk effectively closes the Clerk's Office and the court it serves to timely receipt of USPS mail filings.

Is it a further property deprivation (i.e., of the Caesar's bankruptcy settlement distribution) when a Bankruptcy Court Clerk precludes appeal of an expunged bankruptcy claim by effectively closing the Clerk's Office and the court it serves to timely receipt of USPS mail filings.

Is it a breach of accepted judicial practice to deny jurisdiction and yet to decide the central issue on appeal, i.e., the basis on which jurisdiction was denied.

Is it a further breach of accepted judicial practice for pro se status and/or to allow the demonization of a pro se litigant so as to blind the courts to a factual predicate that amounts to a legal absurdity and memorializes constitutional deprivations

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Does it violate equal protection and access, is it a property deprivation (i.e., the civil action for damages) and FRBP and 28 USC 158 violation when a Bankruptcy Court Clerk effectively closes the Clerk's Office and the court it serves to timely receipt of USPS mail filings
