1. “Whether the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals can lawfully ignore controlling Supreme Court precedent, including Soto v. United States, 602 U.S. (2025) and Feliciano v. Department of Transportation, 601 U.S. (2025), that mandates a different outcome, and if not, whether the failure to apply such precedent deprives the appellant of due process and requires Supreme Court intervention.”
2. “Whether a pro se servicemember who secures a judgment advancing his rank from Captain to Major in the Court of Federal Claims is entitled to the same recognition and credit on appeal as an attorney-represented litigant would be, and whether the Federal Circuit’s refusal to acknowledge that advancement constitutes a denial of equal treatment and due process.”
3. “Whether the court can blur the distinction between advancement on the retired list and promotion is a statutory entitlement that the Federal Circuit misapplied, and whether the court can disregard the sanctuary protections afforded to Reserve members under 10 U.S.C. § 12686. Additionally, whether the failure to recognize the four distinct types of military retirement entitlements under 10 U.S.C. §§ 1201, 1208, 1372, 1375, and related statutes resulted in a miscalculation of the appellant’s lawful retirement benefits.”
4. “Whether the Federal Circuit’s procedural handling- including the denial of oral argument, the lack of proper de novo review, and the issuance of unsigned per curiam orders that effectively rubber-stamp the lower court’s decision-violated the appellant’s due process rights. Additionally, whether the court’s disregard of the rules of evidence and procedural safeguards in cases involving pro se servicemembers-thus abandoning their own standards to protect judicial colleagues and clerks and the denial of sanctions in the face of established misconduct, including the knowing confirmation of fraud on the court when the government failed to prove its position and its own evidence moved against it, constitutes an abuse of discretion warranting Supreme Court review.”
