Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Is a Notice of Appeal, although with the trial courts designation, but filed
with the Appellate Court automatic grounds for dismissal?

2. If there are Tolling Statutes regarding a Notice Appeal, and the filer has a
disability, does this alleviate the oversight.

3. Is due process/14 th Amendment abused by in this incidence an overreliance
on procedure vs content?

4. If the case is a First Amendment case relegating it to strict scrutiny,
shouldn't this imply at least giving a mentioned of tolling?

5. If COVID is raging at the time that the late-Supreme Court Decision Making
by Harold Specht, NOA is due, doesn't external circumstances with a
shown desire to follow the letter of the law show an averment?

6. The "late" Notice was filed within the 30 day mark but with the wrong
court. Another one was filed with the right court but past the 30 day mark,
Isn't horseshoes better than a packing up and taking the game home a little
too much emphasis on procedure on the Appellate Courts part? With ail
due respect.
