As a follow-up to my Passport Update #11, on May 6, 2021, D.C. District Court Judge Bates denied my Rule 59 Motion to Alter or Amend Judgment.
On June 28, 2021, I filed a Notice of Appeal to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. The appeal was assigned case #21-5161.
Then, on August 13, 2021, I filed Appellant’s Amended Statement of Issues to be Raised.
This was followed by my Amended Notice of Appeal on September 21, 2021.
On September 23, 2021, the Appeals Court Clerk issued his Scheduling Order requiring my Brief to be filed by November 2, 2021.
Given our seven-year history with multiple Appellate Courts across America who refused to adjudicate ALL of the issues presented, I decided to remove 21-5161 from the D.C. Circuit and take my case directly to the Supreme Court, pursuant to Rule 11, which states:
Rule 11: Certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals Before Judgment
A petition for a writ of certiorari to review a case pending in a United States court of appeals, before judgment is entered in that court, will be granted only upon a showing that the case is of such imperative public importance as to justify deviation from normal appellate practice and to require immediate determination in this Court. See 28 U. S. C. § 2101(e).
So, in lieu of an Appellate Brief, I filed a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari in the Supreme Court, which was received by the Clerk on November 5, 2021 and docketed as Case #21-6483.
Elizabeth Prelogar, the Solicitor General of the United States, was required to respond to the Petition by January 3, 2022, which she did by waiving the right of the Department of State to Respond.
According to the most current Docket, on January 20, 2022, my Petition was distributed to Conference of February 18, 2022.
This Petition asks the Court to review the following two questions:
Question 1:
Do courts of appeal nationwide exhibit a pattern and practice of refusing to adjudicate EVERY issue presented by the Class of disrespected, unrepresented litigants filing appeals arising from the underlying institutionalized IRS record falsification program, and from the open support thereof by involved U.S. district judges?
Question 2:
In the context of a passport revocation, did Judge Bates err by denying opportunity to challenge via 26 U.S.C. §7345 whether a.) an “assessment” had been prepared by IRS, and whether b.) the alleged “certification” from IRS to State Department of a seriously delinquent tax debt was accurate?
In support of the Petition, four documents are appended:
APPENDIX A
U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia
Memorandum Opinion
November 12, 2020
APPENDIX B
U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia
Memorandum Opinion
March 18, 2021
APPENDIX C
U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia
Plaintiff’s Rule 59 Motion to Alter or Amend Judgment
May 6, 2021
APPENDIX D
U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia
Order
May 6, 2021
I encourage you to read each one to understand how this case developed from a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. State Department, into a lawsuit against the IRS for its many violations of law, including falsification of my Individual Master File (IMF) records which resulted in the revocation of my passport in 2018.
I encourage each of you to spread the link to this website (www.RAM-v-IRS.com) far and wide to your email contacts, websites, social media outlets, Representatives, Senators, and any other person you can think of, in order to stop the IRS from harming the life of one more innocent American.
On a final note, I wish to thank all of you who have contributed financially to our efforts to restore the Rule of Law to our nation. This mission is very expensive and there is no way Michael Ellis and I could have come as far as we have without your assistance. But, there is more to do as we press ahead.
So, if you have not donated to this important cause, or are in a position to give more, please do so here. All amounts are welcomed, appreciated and will be used for their intended purpose.
God bless you all!
Robert A. McNeil (RAM)
