Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Violation of Constitutional Rights
Did acts of a federal court in publishing sealed documents of investigation rather
than returning them, violate rights of the Plaintiff (a) against the taking of private
property, (b) to due process and equal protection, (c) against the seizure of papers
and effects, and (d) to the copyright in sealed documents? Shall this Court order
compensation under the takings clause?

2. Resolution of Conflicting Jurisdiction Denials
Will the Court (a) clarify the conflicting and evasive jurisdiction decisions of the
circuit courts, to ensure jurisdiction of federal claims in either the Court of Federal
Claims or district courts, and (b) review the case de novo, to avoid remand to biased
courts?

3. False "Sovereign Immunity " to Nullify Rights
Does the lower court resurrection of the tyrant 's defense of "sovereign immunity "
violate and seek to nullify the rights of citizens guaranteed by the Constitution and
laws of the United States, including the Takings clause of the Fifth Amendment,
the Tucker Act and Federal Tort Claims Act, the Civil Rights Act, and many prior
decisions of this Supreme Court?
