Question Presented (from Petition)

WAS ARIZONA ABSENT OF JURISDICTION OVER EVENTS THAT OCCURRED ON LANDS UNDER EXCLUSIVE FEDERAL AUTHORITY, AND INVESTIGATED EXCLUSIVELY BY AGENCIES UNDER FEDERAL ORGANIZATION?

THE JUDGMENT AND SENTENCE UPON THE ATTACHMENT OF CONSEQUENCE OF JEOPARDY FOR OVER FIVE YEARS?

DOES THE WILLFUL AND SERIAL DENIAL OF ATTEMPTS TO DEMONSTRATE ACTUAL INNOCENCE, BY BOTH COURTS AND COUNSEL, PRESENT AT A MINIMUM, THE DEBATABLE QUALITY NECESSARY TO RECEIVE A COA, IF NOT THE THOROUGH REVIEW TO VACATE, IN THE ABSENCE OF PROOF BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT?

DOES THE CAVALIER MISHANDLING OF REVIEW, LIKELY BY CLERKS OF THE CIRCUIT COURT, IN ITSELF PRESENT SUCH VIOLATION OF DUE PROCESS AS TO REQUIRE REVIEW FOR ACTUAL INNOCENCE UNDER § 2254?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether Arizona had jurisdiction over events that occurred wholly, and investigated exclusively by agencies under exclusive federal organization?
