Question Presented (from Petition)

1) If a trial court never construes the allegations in a civil complaint favorably to the plaintiff or never construes them at all, are all of its Civil Rule (CR) 12.02(f) dismissal orders and CR 11 sanctioning orders against the plaintiff nullities?

2) May the Supreme Court of Kentucky order an appellant to file a brief, decide the appeal before the brief is filed, call the appellant's timely-filed brief a "miscellaneous correspondence styled as a brief," ignore the appellant's timely-filed response to the Court's show cause order, and sanction the appellant on the grounds that he never showed cause why he should not be sanctioned?
