Eric Sheptock, from what I gather, is a homeless person in Washington DC. Of the group of homeless persons, whose names appeared on the complaint in Sheptock v Fenty, he is the only one whose name remained in the Pacer docket.
I could not find any other way to contact him, except for the blog he runs on homelessness in Washington DC, at:

Below is the message I left him as a comment on his most recent posting:

Hi Mr Sheptock:
We have never met, and I know almost nothing about the facts related to the litigation that seems to go on in U.S. District Court in Washington DC, under the name Sheptock et al v Fenty et al.
I am also not an attorney, not even by a long shot.
Finally - the older I get the more I realize how clueless I am.
That said, I am writing t let you know that I looked at the records of this litigation online, in the court's Pacer system. There are some unusual feature in the litigation, which are likely to qualify it as "sham litigation". I believe that sham litigations are the most common severe abuses of human rights in the U.S.A. today.
