Congratulations! You're now booked up on Item 3.1.01 from the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals' Pro Se Handbook!
You might need to reference it during your pursuit of justice.
For instance, you might need to examine one of these codes of conduct in order to protect yourself from judges/lawyers/organizations who break the law (see this example of a Florida judge who outright committed perjury ).
Nevertheless – and as always – please get the justice you deserve.
Sincerely,
