Question Presented (from Petition)

Although I'm aware that just a few questions are ordinarily presented to this Court and in generalized fashion in petitions for writs of certiorari, the matters that this appeal concerns warrant the presentation of a greater number of such questions and with particularity. This is because the matters that this appeal concerns consist of the following:

a) An illegal stop, assault, seizure, and arrest of me by NYPD personnel on 12/26/17 in areas that all were traditional public forums while I conducted myself in a lawful manner.

b) The malicious prosecution that corresponds to People v. Komatsu, No. 2017BX048917 (Bronx Crim. Ct. Jan. 23, 2020) that was commenced against me due to that arrest before I prevailed in that case on 1/23/20 when that case was both dismissed and sealed.

c) Extremely biased and shoddy investigations that personnel of the New York City Civilian Complaint Review Board ("CCRB") and Internal Affairs Bureau ("IAB") of the NYPD conducted in response to valid complaints that I reported to them in relation to my having been illegally arrested on 12/26/17 by the NYPD.

d) U.S. District Judge Valerie Caproni, other federal judges, federal court security officers ("CSOs"), and personnel of the U.S. Marshals Service ("USMS") having continued to pretextually commit illegal and otherwise abusive acts and omissions against me in relation to visits by me to federal courthouses in New York City while I conducted myself in a lawful manner.

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the petitioner's constitutional rights were violated by an illegal stop, assault, seizure, and arrest by NYPD personnel, malicious prosecution, biased investigations by CCRB and IAB, and continued illegal and abusive acts by federal judges, court security officers, and U.S. Marshals Service personnel
