QUESTIONS PRESENTED
2. Would it be just, fair, and equitable to examine the application of the doctrine
of equitable tolling in a case where substantial evidence reveals perjury, bad faith,
gross negligence, deception, falsification of court and medical records, and fraud,
including Medicaid fraud, in order to decide whether equitable tolling should be
allowed to extend the statute of limitations?
3. Is it just and equitable to examine whether the State can use the statute of
limitations to prevent suit over the course of this case, the State has been allowed to
violate numerous United States Constitutional rights, Federal laws, and State laws,
especially given the presence of unconscious bias in prior rulings and the resulting
severe harm?
4. Should this Court consider the conflicting federal rulings in the United States
District Court for the Western District of Washington at Seattle (WAWD), where the
court allowed a defendant in a related case to remove a case from the superior court
to the federal district court under 28 U.S.C. § 1331–which grants the federal district
courts with original jurisdiction over civil actions that arise under federal law, while
denying the same removal right to the plaintiff citing 28 U.S.C. § 1441–outlines the
provisions for the removal when the case involves federal jurisdiction, which is
claimed to only grant defendants the right to remove a case? Put in a different form.
Is it just to permit only defendants removal of civil actions to the original federal
court jurisdiction yet plaintiff's are not permitted the same removal rights.

JURISDICTION
Statutory Provision
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): “The ADA is a civil rights law that
prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public
life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that
are open to the general public. The purpose of the law is to make sure that people
with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. The ADA
gives civil rights protections to individuals with disabilities similar to those
provided to individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, age, and
religion. It guarantees equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities in public
accommodations, employment, transportation, state and local government services,
and telecommunications. The ADA is divided into five titles (or sections) that relate
to different areas of public life.”
Petitioner did not meet any of the definitions. The closest letter yet fails to
meet the law requirements is C. However, the State fails to meet the legal
requirements stated in C) “A person who committed a sexual, kidnapping, violent,
stalking, unlawful imprisonment, offense but was found incompetent to stand trial
and civilly committed under Chapter 71.05 RCW, Mental illness.”

SUMMARY / INTRODUCTION
This Petition for Writ of Certiorari exposes the State's failure to follow
breach Federal and State laws. As a result, a competent and physically injured
individual was forced treated as if she had a mental illness, then left without
adequate medical care for her physical injury, and suffered severe harm.
This is the third leg of a distressing legal matter involving Western State

prescribed by the Dept of Veterans for a "mild" case of post-traumatic stress and a

provides the framework for deciding “the applicability of equitable tolling in suits
The Government’s response that § 2401(b)’s time limits are not subject to
tolling because they are jurisdictional restrictions. Though the courts govern
litigation against the Government, a court can toll them on equitable grounds. The
FTCA’s jurisdictional provision states that courts may hear suits “under
circumstances where the United States, if a private person, would be liable to the
claimant.” 28 U. S. C. §1346(b).
Court of Appeals opinion of the (9th Cir.) 558–559. “..it makes no difference
that a time bar conditions a waiver of sovereign immunity, even if Congress enacted
the measure when different interpretive conventions applied; that is the very point
of this Court’s decision to treat time bars in suits against the Government,
whenever passed, the same as in litigation between private parties.” See Irwin, 498
U. S., at 95–96; Scarborough, 541 U. S., at 420–422; Franconia, 536 U. S., at 145.
Accordingly, the Court held that the FTCA’s time bars are non-jurisdictional
are subject to equitable tolling. The Court of Appeals (9th Cir.) rejected the
Government’s argument and concluded that courts may toll both of the FTCA’s
In Irwin’s “general rule” that equitable tolling is available in suits against the
Government. 498 U. S., at 95. “The justification the Government offers for departing
from that principle fails: Section 2401(b) is not a jurisdictional require-ment. The
time limits in the FTCA are just time limits, nothing more.” The Court explained in

Irwin, that is not because the phrase itself “manifest[s] a . . . congressional intent
with respect to the availability of equitable tolling.” 498 U. S., at 95. “The words on
which the Government pins its hopes are just the words of a limitations statute of a
particular era. And nothing else supports the Government’s claim that Congress,
when enacting the FTCA, wanted to incorporate this Court’s view of the Tucker
Act’s time bar—much less that Congress expressed that purported intent with the
needed clear statement.” “All that matters is that such time limits function as
our wartime enemy led the Supreme Court to defer to the judgment of military
incarcerated in relocation camps. Korematsu v. United States, 323 U.S. 214 (1944).
Years later it was revealed that the military's "expert" assessment that Japanese
Americans posed a security threat to the defense of the West Coast of the United
States was completely unsupported by any evidence. See Peter Irons, Justice at
War: The Story of the Japanese American Internment Cases (1983). Moreover, it
was revealed that the military knew that it had no evidence of disloyalty and yet
that fact was fraudulently concealed from the Court. Because of the fraud, a writ of
