_______________________________)  28 U.S.C. 1746(1).

I hereby affirm under penalty of perjury that, because of my poverty condition, I am presently unable to pay for re‑formatting, re‑printing, re‑binding and serving my PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI in Booklet Format, or to post any bond(s), in the instant case.

I borrowed funds to purchase a money order to pay the $300 docket fee I remitted, and I would like to request that this sum be refunded, so that I may use it to repay part of the funds I have borrowed.

I believe I am fully entitled to redress.

I affirm under penalty of perjury, under the laws of the United States of America, without the “United States” (federal government), that my answers below are true and correct, according to the best of my current information, knowledge and belief, so help me God, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1746(1).

My issues on appeal are the following Questions Presented in the attached PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI:

 

(1)  Is the Act of June 25, 1948, 62 Stat. 869 et seq., unconstitutional for exhibiting vagueness, for violating the ex post facto prohibition at Article I, Section 9, Clause 3, for violating the Separation of Powers at Article I, Section 1, and for violating the well established principle that federal statutes conferring original jurisdiction on federal district courts must be strictly construed?

 

(2)  Does the ex post facto Clause in the U.S. Constitution prohibit Congress from enacting or otherwise authorizing legislation which retroactively re‑defines the term “district courts” in federal statutes that pre‑date the Act of June 25, 1948, without expressly amending, or repealing and re‑enacting, those statutes?

 

(3)  Are there two (2) separate and distinct classes of federal district courts currently established and currently available to federal litigants within the 50 States: one constitutional and the other legislative?

 

(4)  Strictly construed, does the Rules Enabling Act at 28 U.S.C. 2072(a) limit this Court’s authority to promulgate rules of evidence and procedure only for United States District Courts, and not for the District Courts of the United States?

 

(5)  Is the Abrogation Clause at 28 U.S.C. 2072(b) in the Rules Enabling Act unconstitutional for violating the Separation of Powers Doctrine as founded upon Article I, Section 1?

 

(6)  Likewise, are the Local Rules for the federal district courts in Sacramento, California, expressly limited in scope to cases that proceed before the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California (“USDC”)?

 

(7)  Specifically, is a Local Rule “coercive” when it refers all Pro Per cases ‑‑ automatically and without the consent of all parties ‑‑ to U.S. magistrates appointed to that USDC and, as such, does that Local Rule also violate the Federal Magistrates Act, recent decisions of this Court, pertinent decisions of the Ninth Circuit, and Article III in the U.S. Constitution?

 

(8)  Strictly construed, did the Lanham Act at 60 Stat. 440 confer original jurisdiction on the District Courts of the United States (“DCUS”) but not on the United States District Courts (“USDC”) inside California State, and has that grant of original jurisdiction ever been amended by Congress?

 

(9)  Did Congress expressly extend the U.S. Constitution into D.C. in 1871 A.D. and into all federal Territories in 1873 A.D.?

 

(10) Are UNPUBLISHED Circuit Court opinions unconstitutional?

     (Note:  expenses averaging less than $20/month are not shown)

 

9.   I expect a significant drop in monthly gross receipts during the summer months, when clients and customers are typically on vacation.  After that, receipts are expected to return to average levels.

 

10.  I have not paid an attorney and I am not willing to pay an attorney any money for services in connection with this case, including the completion of this form, because none in California is properly licensed under California State laws.  CBPC §§ 6067, 6068.

     Moreover, I have not met a single attorney who is competent to handle the merits of my case, and all California attorneys now appear to be violating §§ 6126, 6127 and 6128 of the California Business and Professions Code (“CBPC”).  Lex non cogit impossibilia.

 

11.  I have not paid anyone other than an attorney, and I am not willing to pay anyone other than an attorney any money for services in connection with this case, including completion of this form.

 

12.  The $300 docket fee has already been remitted, but now I can no longer afford the costs of re‑formatting, re‑printing, re‑binding and re‑serving my PETITION in Booklet Format.  Frankly, I misunderstood the Supreme Court Rules to allow petitions in 8½ x 11” format, even when the $300 docket fee was prepaid in full (via Postal Money Order).

 

13.  My lawful domicile is the California Republic.  I receive U.S. Mail care of a forwarding agent at the following mailing location:
