Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Does the Seventh Amendment to the U.S. Con
stitution require a jury trial in a civil eviction case,
which is based on equity to an elderly petitioner who
is scheduled to be evicted 12/28/2020 in the middle
of a national health crisis, under a false factual find
ing that she did not pay rent, when in fact she did
pay rent and the judicial officer and the appellate
courts of Connecticut refuse to acknowledge the false
factual finding which is the basis of an eviction sched
uled for 12/28/2020?

2. Does the Due Process Clause of the Four
teenth Amendment require Connecticut court judges
to issue factually correct judicial findings, or thereafter
to correct a false factual finding and mitigate damage
by either the trial court judge or appellate when mate
rial mistakes of fact occur?

3. Does a judge who refuses to acknowledge lack
of subject matter jurisdiction, no actual injury, non
existent parties, witness perjury, falsified complaint
facts to initiate legal proceedings and refusal of the
Connecticut Appellate Courts to address known issues
violate the petitioners Fourteenth Amendment Due
Process and Equal Protection Clauses?

Question Presented (AI Summary)
