Question Presented (from Petition)
Whether a private plaintiff has standing to appeal a District Courts '
unintelligible refusal to issue a criminal complaint, when the crimes are obstructing
justice, and the plaintiffs safety, prosperity, and a fair trial is dependent on the
state 's prosecution.
If so, whether it was an abuse of discretion for the trial courts to approve of
obvious crimes that are violating Constitutional Rights without identifying any
factual or policy reason, and for the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court to affirm
their denials without any factual reason, and without addressing the constitutional
arguments presented.
