Did you miss me?

I’ve spent the last seven days writing an informal appellate brief for the Ninth Circuit.

The 9th accommodates pro se litigants. They have a form to fill out that does not require a table of contents, a table of authorities,,,heck, they don’t even require a layperson to include citations to caselaw.

I’m not aware of the statistics for how many pro se appeals are successful at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals compared to other courts around the country. At least they don’t waste our time, energy and money as badly as say, the Eighth Circuit.

I filed a notice of appeal at the 8th, paid the filing fee and those rat bastards denied me summarily. It was a case against judge Susan Weaver that was denied at the Eastern District of Arkansas by Judge Billy Roy Wilson. Injustices Steven M. Colloton, Raymond W. Gruender and Bobby E. Shepherd didn’t wait for me to file a brief. Zippity-zip, they affirmed the pack of lies old man Wilson wrote when he threw my case out in favor of all defendants before co-defendant Attorney William Zac White even filed a motion to dismiss.

The system is rigged against pro se litigants, meaning the common person who can’t afford to hire an attorney.

I’ve been ill these last few years. I haven’t had the energy to fight.

When the 8th circuit denied my appeal without letting me file a brief, I should have filed a motion for reconsideration and then a petition for certiorari to the United States Supreme Court. I didn’t.

I’m sure I will get another chance.

In the meantime, here is the informal brief that kept me too busy to visit with you, my dear reader.
