               In 1994, petitioner brought suit against Valley’s successor,           
          Bank of America (the bank), a Nevada Supreme Court justice who              
          participated in the 1993 decision, and others (together,                    
          defendants) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada           
          (District Court) in case No. CV-N-94-455.  Petitioner’s complaint           
          alleged that the defendants violated his civil rights under 42              
          U.S.C. sec. 1983 during the State court proceedings and conspired           
          to violate Federal and State RICO statutes.                                 
               Petitioner’s civil rights complaint in case No. CV-N-94-455            
          (complaint) consisted of alleged violations of his rights to                
          procedural and substantive due process.  Petitioner alleged that            
          his procedural due process rights were violated by certain of the           
          defendants, including the bank, providing financial support to              
          “lawyer politicians” seeking elected judicial office in Nevada,             
          so as to create an                                                          
               atmosphere of “obligation” on the part of the lawyer                   
               politician who is elected to the position of district                  
               court judge or Nevada Supreme Court Justice to                         
               facilitate obtaining “legal protection” from said                      
               elected lawyer politician * * * for any of the conduct                 
               or actions of these Defendants which result in legal                   
               action being taken against them.                                       
          Petitioner claimed that, as a result of this atmosphere of                  
          obligation, his procedural due process rights were further                  
          violated through misconduct of the Nevada judiciary that                    
          included:
