violated when the District of Columbia Court of
Appeals denied his petition for rehearing within
no time and without providing any reasons for
such denial?

2. Whether a denial of due process which does not
amend any generally applicable substantive or
procedural laws, but deprives Petitioner of the
right to pursue his pending lawsuit, violate the
Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth
Amendment?

3. Whether summary judgment was reached in
violation of the requirements of procedural due
process?

4. Whether judgment rendered in violation of the
due process is void in the District of Columbia?

5. Whether Petitioner was denied equal protection
of law and due process of law when the trial court
repeatedly denied Petitioner 's due process,
including motions to compel discovery, without
any evidence of surprise or prejudice to opposite
parties?

Opinion and Judgment are not supported by
substantial evidence in the record, is not in
accordance to the law, and an abuse of
discretion?
