I feel that the amount I owe Washington D.C. is incorrect, and that I must have filed them incorrectly. I'd love to just "cancel" and start over.
answered on Mar 2, 2017

I'm filing an appeals brief, and I have proven that the lower court never had subject matter jurisdiction to render there judgment. In my relief sought may I demand a immediate release or remand it back the lower court for the issuance of the writ to test the legality of the restraint
answered on Feb 18, 2017
