Question Presented (from Petition)

Should the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit recall its mandate to prevent a miscarriage of justice because the Sixth Circuit and the District Court applied a law that violates the Michigan Civil Rights Act, Mich. Comp. Laws § 00.55 and Prisoners § 143 Civil rights complaint, where the language on federal statute insists that courts apply the state law (state law) and are obligated to apply state law statutes in § 1983 actions?
