Nowhere. The Supreme Court only hears a limited number of cases each year, rejecting 98-99% of the requests it receives.

A case may only be appealed to the Supreme Court if it involves a question of federal or constitutional law and has exhausted all of its lower court appeals. If the case is qualified, but the Court chooses not to review it, then the decision of the lower court prevails and the matter is considered res judicata, or legally resolved.

Cases not settled in the Supreme Court of a state may be appealed to the US Supreme Court if they involve a preserved federal question, an issue related to federal law, US treaties or the US Constitution. The US Supreme Court does not consider cases relevant only to state law or state constitutional matters.

The matter could be heard in either state or federal court What factors should be taken into consideration when deciding which court to bring his case?

I would bring the case to state court, because if you bring the case to federal court it can't be heard again, but if you bring the case to state court then, if you lose, the case be appealed and heard again, if they chose to hear it, in supreme court then it can't be heard again if you lose again in supreme court.

When are Supreme Court cases heard?

The Supreme Court is the court of last resort. When all appeals and lower courts have heard and ruled on a case it may go to the Supreme Court, but the court doesn’t have to hear it and may let the lower ruling stand or kick it back to the lower federal court.

Can a police officer bring a narcotic issue in to the federal system?

If what you mean by a federal system you mean a supreme court, then NO. The only person who can bring a case to the supreme court is a lower court. Typically a case will get heard in a circuit court, then if contested, the findings will be reviewed by an appeals court and if it gets farther than that it will be reviewed by a state supreme court and eventually (only if it is a federal issue) it will be heard by the US supreme court. So technically a police officer can't bring it there, but he/she can be the initiator of the case on the lower level.Cheers!
