PRESS RELEASE CITIZENS COMPLAINT AND REQUEST IN PURSUANT UNDER THE FIRST AMENDMENT FOR A U.S CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION FOR THE REMOVAL OF U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE ROBERT H. CLELAND IN THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION CASE NO. 92-8036 UNITED STATES V. FELIX WALLS

In United States v. Felix Walls, Judge Robert H. Cleland 's opinion and order violates the 14th Amendment equal protections clause under the law when Judge Cleland nefariously denied the government's motion for Compassionate Release which was to reduce the term of imprisonment to time served for Felix Walls, whom is African American.

The U.S. Department of Justice and the Bureau of Prisons have recognized that Mr. Walls deserves Compassionate Release, now 77 years old has served over 26 years of imprisonment of his life sentence. Mr. Walls has Parkinson's disease, osteoarthritis, sciatica, and cardiovascular heart disease with over 75% of his eyesight depleted due to being a diabetic. Mr. Walls is confined to a wheelchair and further requires assistance with his instrument activities of daily living. Accordingly experiencing deteriorating physical health that substantially diminishes his ability to function in a correctional facility, according to the Bureau of Prisons' assessment.

However, Judge Cleland's order reeks with bias and racist overtones in violation of the 5th, 6th, 8th and 14th Amendment of the Constitution in his order in which Judge Cleland states:"the Defendant has accumulated age-related ailments that appear to be entirely common among men of his age, perhaps especially African American men with respect to heart to disease. All of this presents a picture of ordinary rather than extraordinary circumstances."

In other words African American men should not be filing motions once he imposes a life sentence and nor should they be granted Compassionate Release no matter how sick they are and should die in prison even if the Bureau of Prisons finds that they are eligible for Compassionate Release. Judge Cleland ordered legislative intent and spirit of the law passed by Congress is voided out as well as rights under the Writ of Habeas[s] Corpus. See Exhibit B( Judge Cleland's order page 7, 5th paragraph on 2-23-2018). Meanwhile Mr. Walls has received recommendation letters from B.O.P's staff in support for his release. See Exhibit C. Note Mr. Walls has been a model inmate over the last 26 years and as well has not received or been involved in any disciplinary reports or incidents. See Exhibit D(Mr. Walls' prison record).

Judge Cleland's discriminatory ideology is evident in the case of Sova v. City of Mt. Pleasant, 142 F.3d 898(6th Cir. 1998). A lawsuit filed by his family for the killing of their son by police. In that particular case Judge Cleland stated and ruled as follow:"that the threat Thomas posed to himself justified in part the use of deadly force against him". In laymen's terms the male was a threat and danger to himself and deserves to be killed by police. Note the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed Judge Cleland.

Wherefore we the American citizenry request for a Congressional investigation and hearing concerning heartless, discriminatory judge like Judge Cleland who thinks their above the law and who usurp the Constitution and the halls of Congress and the American citizenry Constitution guarantees.
