The petitioner asked the Supreme Court two important questions:
1. On his petition to the California Supreme Court: is the petitioner entitled to a written and published opinion under his 1st Amendment right to petition, 5th Amendment right for due process and 14th Amendment right for equal treatment?
2. On his motion to void the trial court's judgment for lack of fundamental jurisdiction, did the California Appeal Court have discretion to avoid and not hear and decide the motion without a written and published opinion?
