Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Whether the courts should overrule the decision of the District Court of Connecticut (11-cv-904
(CSH)), which granted the Respondents' motion to
dismiss the action. This decision violates the black
letter law in the decision Plaut v. Spendthrift Farms,
514 US. 211 (1995) and U.S. Government v. Espinosa,
March 238, 2010.

2. Whether the court should question the constitutionality of the Government resorting to "Self-Help"
in order to do an "end run" around a prior court ruling.

3. Whether the U.S. Government should be
allowed to make an unlawful seizure of money and
property without due process.
