`
`
`Questions Presented
`
`i '
`
`(1) The Wisconsin Supreme Court was manifestly wrong in rejecting the Petitioner’s
`Appeal for Review, when it failed to consider mitigating, newly discovered
`evidence.
`Such error was structural, instead of issuing a mandate immediately as required
`under Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, Rule 41(d) (1) (2), it clearly
`contravened applicable rules of Appellate Procedure, when it dismissed the
`appeal as moot.
`
`Should this Court issue a Writ of Certiorari, when The Wisconsin Supreme Court
`clearly contravened applicable Rules of Appellate Procedure and unjustifiably
`departed from ordinary judicial procedures, when extraordinary circumstances
`existed.
`Should this court order the Wisconsin Supreme Court to issue a mandate to the
`Wisconsin Labour, Wisconsin Circuit and Appeals Courts to comply with this
`Court's authority, rules and precedents.

`Statement of Jurisdiction.
`The Wisconsin Supreme Court issued its order on March 11,2020 (App. A)
`This Court’s jurisdiction is timely invoked under the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651
`28 U.S.C. § 1254, 28 U.S.C. §1257 and Rule 10 (a) and 13, of the Rules of the
`Supreme Court of the United States.
`Constitutional and Statutory Provisions and Rules
`Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 41 governs issuance of an appellate court
`mandate and provides, in pertinent part: —
`(2) Pending Petition for Certiorari.
`
`(A) A party may move to stay the mandate pending the filing of a petition for a Writ
`of Certiorari in the Supreme Court. The motion must be served on all parties and
`must show that the certiorari petition would present a substantial question and
`that there is good cause for a stay.
`
`(B) The stay must not exceed 90 days, unless the period is extended for good cause
`or unless the party who obtained the stay files a petition for the writ and so
`notifies the circuit clerk in writing within the period of the stay. In that case, the
`stay continues until the Supreme Court’s final disposition.
`
`(C) The court may require a bond or other security as a condition to granting or
`continuing a stay of the mandate.
`
`(D) The court of appeals must issue the mandate immediately
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`This case presents the kind of extraordinary circumstances in which this Court
`exercises its discretionary authority to issue a Writ of Certiorari.
`
`The Supreme Court of Wisconsin’s refusal to issue a mandate clearly contravenes
`applicable rules of appellate procedure and effectively thwarts this Court’s decision
`to decline review of the Petitioner’s petition for Writ of Certiorari.
`
`The appeal was in pursuance of 28 USCA § 60 Invalidating a Judgement for Fraud
`by failing to consider this mitigating newly discovered evidence and rejecting the
`Petitioner’s appeal out of hand. It should instead have issued a mandate
`immediately as required under the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure 41
`(d) (1)(2)
`
`The Wisconsin Supreme Court refusal to issue the mandate was manifestly wrong
`and defied this Court’s precedent. Ryan v. Schad, U.S 133 S. Ct. 2548 (2013)
`
`
`
`Cone v. West Virginia Puip& Paper Co. 330 U.S. 212 (67 S.Ct. 752, 91 L.Ed. 849)
`
`The petition was appropriately brought under Wisconsin Rules of Appellate
`Procedure 808.10, and 809.62 and all the appropriate sub section of that rule,
`(1g)(a) (1r)(a)(c)(d), the review being appealed in pursuance of 28 USCA§ 60 (b2)
`(3)(d3) Invalidating a Judgement for Fraud.
`U.S. Supreme CourtHazel-Atlas Glass Company v. Hartford -Empire Company
`322 U.S. 238
`
`The Petitioner’s Appeal for Review to the Wisconsin Supreme Court was premised
`on newly discovered evidence disclosed to him in February 2020, by the
`International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, (ICIJ ), which revealed that the
`Respondents had wilfully concealed evidence from the petitioner and the
`Wisconsin Courts, that TRANE SA, was a shell company. (Emphasis added)
`See:-‘TRANE S.A ICIJ Offshore Leaks Database, https://offshoreleaks.icij.org”
`
`The- Respondents conspired with Mossack Fonseca of the Panama Paper’s fame
`exacerbating this concealment, by constituting a labyrinth of other shell companies
`around the world revealing an intentional act of jurisdictional manipulation to
`disenfranchise the Petitioner from any legal jurisdiction.
`See Appendix (L) copies of documents disclosed by (ICIJ) linking American
`Standard Inc. to the TRANE SA entity. (Emphasis added)
`Was the Wisconsin Circuit and Appeals Court’s Abuse of
`Discretion “Arbitrary, and Capricious.”
`
`In the Petitioners appeals in 2001 and 2002 respectively, to Wisconsin Circuit and
`Appeals Courts, it shows from the record that they erroneously exercised their
`discretion by failing to comply with state and Federal Statutes, and Rules of
`Procedure. Wis. Stats §102.23(a), Restatement of Contracts Statute § 74
`(1932)Wis.§ stats.806.07 (1)(b)(c)(h) Rule 804.01 (1)(2)(a)(c)(1)(4) and or Federal
`Rule 26 (1 )(a)(C)(E)(F)(3)(A)(iii)(B) and Rule 7.1(1)(2) (b)(1)(2) Rule 56 (a)(c)(B)(4)
`(c) Summery Judgement, Rule 52 (5) (6), Questioning Evidentiary Support, Rule
`401 Test for Relevant Evidence,Rule 402 (4) (b) the fact is of consequence in
`determining the action.
`The Wisconsin Labour Court Erroneously Exercised its Discretion
`Structural error is prevalent in this case, the trial judge in the Wisconsin Labour
`Court erroneously exercised his discretion by allowing, the Respondents, on two
`separate occasions to file new evidence in contravention of state and federal Rules
`of Procedure Wis. 804.01, Federal Rules 26 and 7.1(a) (1)(2) (b)(1)(2).
`The Respondents’ Case Was Procured By Fraud.
`The broad scope of the Respondents’ fraud and its pervasive effect on
`the proceedings in the Wisconsin Labour, Wisconsin Circuit and Appeals Courts,
`requires a full appellate review of the court records.
`
`
`
`By falling to make any disclosure prior to the court hearing they wilfully violated rules
`of Procedure and Evidence. Indeed their entire scheme of the filed false material
`evidence, and their wilful manipulation of the Rule of Procedure pertaining to
`disclosure was fraudulent.
`
`U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission of Regulation, Rule 10b-5, ideology or
`rules of shell companies was subverted by American Standard Inc / The Trane
`Company §10(b) of the Exchange Act,'and §17(a)(1) of the Securities Act as under
`item 1101 (b)AB (§229.1101(b)’
`
`Petitioner asks this Court to grant certiorari to exercise its supervisory power, as set
`forth in Supreme Court Rule 10(a), because the Supreme Court of Wisconsin has
`grossly and unjustifiably departed from ordinary judicial procedures. This Court’s
`intervention is critical to ensure the integrity of the appellate process and to curtail
`the wilful refusal to comply with this Court’s rules and precedent.

`
`
`
`STATEMENT OF THE CASE
`
`The Petitioner had an accident at work while lifting a pump. He slipped and fell
`backwards falling out of the engine compartment of an A/C unit.
`
`. He sustained hernia and protrusion of the nucleus pulposus, compression of the
`discs at the bottom and neck area of his back and injury to his left knee, and other
`serious injuries that only manifested at a later date.
`
`The injuries were serious enough that a medical tribunal deemed him disabled and
`unable to work again.
`See Appendix (Z) Copy of medical tribunal decision
`
`Because the Petitioner had signed employment contracts with The Trane Company
`La Crosse, Wisconsin, he obtained the service of a pro-bono lawyer who opened a
`case in the Wisconsin Labour Court for Workman’s Compensation.
`
`This was to claim for health and medical care, loss of salary, and now punitive
`damages for causing unnecessary pain and suffering.
`
`Prior to the court hearing, on several occasions, the Petitioner’s lawyer requested,
`all documents relating to his employment from his personal file, under Wisconsin
`804.01 and Federal Rule 26 pertaining to discovery, the Respondents failed to
`comply to this request.
`
`The failure to comply with this request resulted in the Petitioner going to court
`without being able to cross examine the Respondents, regarding the contents of any
`of these documents. This was in violation of Rule 804.01 (1)(2)(a){c){4) and or
`Federal Rule 26 (1)(a)(C)(E)(F)(3)(A)(iii)(B) pertaining to discovery, as required
`under the Wisconsin and Federal Rules of Procedure.
`See Appendix (N) (NN) Copies of letters from Petitioner requesting all documents
`from from his file.
`Dated Dec. 1,1993, and January 11,1994
`
`During the hearing of February 24 1994, the Respondents having contravened Rules
`Procedure, the trial judge made a ruling to allow the record to be left Open for the
`Petitioner to be able to receive these documents from his file and submit any
`evidence from any these documents.
`
`On May 3 1994, 10 weeks after the court hearing, the Respondents produced what
`was represented to be a complete list of the Petitioner’s personal file.
`See Appendix (O) Copy of letter from Respondents with list of document from the
`Petitioner’s personnel file.
`Dated May 3, 1994
`
`However there was concealment of critical documents by the Respondents,
`because neither a Letter of Appointment, nor copies of two American Employment
`Contracts, were disclosed in their response, which violated Rule 804.01 (1)(2)(a)(c)
`(4) and or Rule 26 Federal (1)(a)(C)(E)(F)(3)(A)(iii)(B)(4)(b)(1).
`
`The Letter of Appointment would have been critical in proving that the Petitioner’s
`
`1
`
`I
`
`
`
`contract was executed in La Crosse, Wisconsin which under the :-Restatement of
`Contracts § 74 (1932) Provides “A contract is made at the time when the last act
`necessary for its formations is made, and at the place where that final act is done.”
`
`Structural error is defined as "an error that permeate[s] the entire conduct of the trial
`from beginning to end or affect[s] the framework within which the trial proceeds."
`See : Al Haramain Islamic Found., Inc. v. United States Dep't of the Treasury, 2009
`U.S.Dist. LEXIS 103373 (D. Or. Nov. 5, 2011)
`See : Mathews v. Eldridge, 424 U.S. 319 (1976),
`
`Both American Employment Contracts stated under Disputes, as following
`“ If the employee and Trane disagree with the terms of his employment under
`this agreement, the dispute shall be referred to Trane’s parent company, The
`Trane Company, a Wisconsin Corporation with its principle place of business
`in La Crosse, Wisconsin, U.S.A. The laws of the state of Wisconsin shall be
`the governing law of any disputes under this agreement.” (emphasis added)
`
`The Letter of Appointment stated in pertinent part
`“Please review the contract carefully and advise if you have any questions, if
`you decide to accept our offer of employment (and we hope you do) please
`sign it and insert the date you will be free to join us. Send both copies to La
`Crosse, we will counter-sign it and return one for your records.”
`(Emphasis added)

`Dated. November 10, 1984
`See Appendix (Y) Page 2, final paragraph, “Letter of Appointment”
`Dated July 10 1979
`Over seven months after the court hearing, the Petitioner’s lawyer was informed by
`letter on December 7,1994, that the Respondents had filed into the record, an
`alleged “Arabic Contract,” to which the Petitioner objected.
`See Appendix (P) Copy of letter from the Petitioner’s objecting to the alleged “Arabic
`Contract”
`Dated Dec. 9, 1994
`See Appendix (R) Copy of alleged one page “Arabic Employment contract”.
`
`However, without any legal opinion given, the trial judge over- ruled the Petitioner’s
`objection, forgoing his ruling,” that the record had only been left open to allow the
`Petitioner to receive and submit any evidence from any documents from his
`personnel file,” and received the alleged Arabic Employment Contract into the
`record.
`See Appendix (Q Copy of letter from Adm. Law judge Phillips, overruling Petitioners
`objection
`Dated January 26,1995.
`
`This was an Abuse of Discretion by the trial Judge by allowing the Respondents to
`file this evidence in contravention of Rule 804.01 (1)(2)(a)(c) Trial Preparation :
`Material (4) Sequencing and timing of Discovery, and or Federal Rule 26 (1)(a)(C)
`(E)(F)(3)(A)(iii)(B) under sub sections (C) Time for Initial Disclosure, 3(A) (iii)(4)(b)(1)
`Form of Disclosure. See Jones v. State, 477 So. 2d 566, 569 (Fla. 1985) (Boyd,
`C.J, (concurring specially).
`
`
`
`This alleged “Arabic contract” was a further misrepresentation and violation of
`Federal Procedure Rule 106 “Reminder of, or related writing or recorded
`statements.”
`
`The Petitioner swore an affidavit to the court, that this alleged “Arabic Contract” was
`one page of a five page application form, which the Trane Company made to the
`U.A.E Ministry of Labour for a work visa for him. See McCormick §56; California
`Evidence Code §356.
`See:-Appendix (I) Copy of Affidavit
`See Appendix (U) Copy to Petitioner’d brief page (4) last Paragraph
`Dated February 27, 1995
`
`Subsequently, three months later, on March 9, 1995, which was now 13 months
`after the Court hearing, there was further infringement of evidence by the
`Respondents by their introduction of alleged new evidence that was completely
`materially different from the infringing evidence of the alleged “Arabic Contract”.
`The Respondents now stated, that the Petitioner was employed under contract to
`TRANE SA, an entity registered in Switzerland. (Emphasis added)
`
`This was again Abuse of Discretion and impartiality by the trial judge in allowing
`this alleged new evidence, into the record, in contravention now of Rules of
`Procedure 7.1(1) (2) (b)(1)(2) pertaining to Corporate Discovery as well as State
`Rule 804.01 and Federal Rule 26. See:— Jones v. State, 477 So. 2d 566, 569 (Fla.
`1985) (Boyd, C.J., concurring specially).See ; United States Court of Appeals :-
`Samuel Barely Steele Plaintive V Vector Management; MLB Adva, Insurance, 785
`N.W.2d 493 (2010)
`See Appendix (T) Page (1) Copy of Respondents brief and attached
`list at end, of Chain of Command.
`Dated March 9,1995
`
`The following is the verbatim evidence from the Respondents Brief, which was
`allowed to be filed into the court record in violation and defiance of State and
`Federal Rules of Procedure. :-
`“At the time of his injury, the applicant was based in Oman and was an
`employee of Trane S.A.
`Trane SA. is a Swiss corporation, that does no business in Wisconsin.
`Trane S.A. is wholly owned by The Trane Company, a Delaware corporation
`that also conducts no business in the United States.
`The Trane Company (the Delaware corporation) is wholly owned by American
`Standard Inc. which is headquartered in New York State.
`Trane the entity in La Crosse, Wisconsin is a division of American Standard.”
`(emphasis added)
`See :Cox v. Burke, 706 So. 2d 43, 47 (Fla. 5th DCA1998): “The basic standards
`governing fraud on the court are reasonably straightforward.”
`The requisite fraud on the court occurs where : “it can be demonstrated, clearly and
`convincingly, that a party has sentiently set in motion some unconscionable scheme
`calculated to interfere with the judicial system’s ability impartially to adjudicate a
`matter by improperly influencing the trier of fact or unfairly hampering the
`presentation of the opposing party’s claim or defence.”

`Attached with a copy of the Respondents Chain of Command.
`
`The Respondents, surreptitiously constituted this shell company in the tax haven
`country, Switzerland, and by subterfuge, wilfully misrepresented this to the
`Wisconsin Courts, that this entity in Switzerland was the Petitioner’s employer.
`See Appendix (V) Copy of Swiss Commerce register. Dated. 1996 and 2014
`
`The disclosure by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, (ICIJ ),
`to the Petitioner in January 2020, reveals the concealment of evidence by the
`Respondents that TRANE SA was a shell company, and by constituting a labyrinth
`of shell companies around the world, reveals an intentional act of jurisdictional
`manipulation to disenfranchise the Petitioner from any legal Jurisdiction.
