Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Did the Western District Court erred by not allowing the Declaration by
Kristin M. Byrne, an employee of Anheuser-Busch, LLC, et.al. be considered
as "statement of fact" that Anheuser-Busch, LLC, et.al. has direct ties to
Louisiana by having seven (7) employees in the State of Louisiana?(ROA.139140)

2. Did the Western District Court erred by not allowing this same Declaration
by Kristin M. Byrne be considered as personal jurisdiction when it stated
that Anheuser-Busch, et.al., sales account for 2% of Anheuser-Busch product
sales in Louisiana for the whole United States?(ROA.138-140)

3. Did the Western District Court erred by dismissing the Case No. 3:19-CV-
00738-TAD-KLH for lack of personal jurisdiction when "In Rem
Jurisdiction and Quasi-in-rem- Jurisdiction " clearly exist, by AnheuserBusch, et.al. in the State of Louisiana?(ROA.197)

4. Did the Western District Court erred by dismissing the case without
addressing Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) which refers to failure to
state a claim when this is one of the reason the Defendant, Anheuser-Busch,
et.al., filed a Motion to Dismiss?

5. Did the Western District Court erred by depriving Bruce Alexander of
procedural due process by dismissing Case No. 3:19-CV-00738-TAD-KLH
"without prejudice " when personal jurisdiction refers to having constant
contact with the State of Louisiana through sales product and employees
Walden v. Fiore, 571 U.S. 277, 134 S. Ct. 1115,1125, n. 6 (2014)?(ROA.197)

6. Did the Western District Court erred by not allowing the personal property in
Louisiana of Anheuser-Busch, et al. in New Orleans be considered as
"personal jurisdiction "?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Did the Western District Court err in its rulings on personal-jurisdiction, in-rem-jurisdiction, due-process, civil-procedure, sales, and employee-contacts?
