The process to request the U.S. Supreme Court to consider his case is by filing a writ of certiorari. This is a petition to the Supreme Court to review a lower court's decision. The Supreme Court has discretion over which cases it chooses to hear, and a writ of certiorari is the primary means of requesting the Court to do so. Option B) writ of mandamus and C) writ of prohibition are not applicable in this case as they are used to order a government agency or official to perform a specific duty or to prohibit them from performing a specific act. Option D) direct appeal is also not applicable in this case as the individual has already exhausted their direct appeal rights through the state court system.
