Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Did the Louisiana Supreme Court err by failing to enforce
Caperton v. A.T. Massey Coal Co., 556 U.S. 868 (2009)
("Caperton"), as to District Judge Scott U. Schlegel, who was
campaigning for Louisiana Supreme Court Justice and
accepted $47,500 in contributions from the Kean-Miller law
firm and its client, Texas Brine? Contemporaneous with the
contributions, Kean-Miller represented Girod LoanCo
against Petitioner before Judge Schlegel, requiring vacatur
of his infirm orders per Caperton.

2. Did the Louisiana Supreme Court err by failing to enforce
Henson v. Santander Consumer USA, 582 U.S. (2017)
("Henson") as to Girod, a "...vulture fund..." enforcing $9.8
million in shill loans purchased from the FDIC after the
closure of First NBC Bank under the guise that it was a
"debt collector..." not required to meet Louisiana's Door-
Closing laws? If so, is dismissal of all Girod judicial
demands against Petitioner required?

3. Did Judge Schlegel's (i) sua sponte prohibition that
Petitioner's counsel not file pleadings without his permission,
(ii) coupled with threats of contempt and (iii) his purging of
public records so violate due process principles, In re
Murchison, 349 U.S. 188 (1955), as to warrant vacatur of his
writ of seizure and all further orders?
