The statement of
facts
You should state the facts as you see them., but as an example, you can see the statement of facts I submitted here.
You can also use ChatGPT or other "AI" programs for ideas. For example, I asked ChatGPT to "give me reasons for filing a complaint of judicial misconduct in Judge Cannon's handling of the Trump documents trial." It generated this answer.
