Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Whether a writ of certiorari is appropriate when a district court denies any other form of meaningful access other than in-person for scheduled hearings to a foreign adversary.

2. Whether certiorari is appropriate to correct the appeals courts failure to acknowledge that recusal was appropriate when a district judge only offered restrictive access to his court for indigent participants.

3. Whether a writ of certiorari is required when the three judge panel in the appeals court, had just days before reversed and remanded a case for excusable neglect by the same district judge for closing a case when the plaintiff did not appear at his scheduled conference.

Question Presented (AI Summary)
