You have a lawyer to file the papers, you can give it a try (dunno if federal courts allow pro se motions).

A reasonable lawyer won't do the paperwork, even for money, if it's a slam dunk "no" expected from the federal court.

As for the reasoning, I'd have to see the reasoning (and since I am not admitted to the bar, I'd like to have at least references to the relevant statutory and case law.)
