Question Presented (from Petition)

Is a 3-judge merits panel of a U.S. court of appeals at liberty, perhaps over-reliant on the opposing party's counseled but uncandid briefing, to not consider a pro se litigant's meritorious argument in reaching its judgment, and to still not consider it on panel rehearing, still without offering any explanation?
