Question Presented (from Petition)
The District Court denied me access to the court after my 1987 conviction was overturned by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. Then, the District Court denied me the right to file a civil rights suit in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, citing the Clerk's office for their attempt to mislead, rather than reply or file anything related to a trial in the District Court. They acted in concert.
Question Presented (AI Summary)
