STATEMENT OF THE CASE
1. Since the founding of our nation, the constitution has been a cornerstone of the most
basic principles this country affords every citizen to be free from the arbitrary or tyrannical acts
of the government. In the event of tyrannical actions upon a citizen, there are provided by
constitutional right, ways a citizen can defend themselves in a court of law. That is, if they are
fortunate enough to escape the grasp of the original illegal acts perpetrated upon them in the first
place. If those constitutional and due process rights and opportunities are then again arbitrarily
denied or ignored at a federal level, leaving no redress for the citizens to defend themselves; the
tyranny is in fact the very nature and intent of the government itself to operate without justice for
all. The Supreme Court noted that "in the federal courts, the right of self-representation has been
protected by statute since the beginnings of our Nation. Section 35 of the Judiciary Act of 1789,
1 Stat. 73, 92, enacted by the First Congress and signed by President Washington one day before
the Sixth Amendment was proposed, provided that 'in all the courts of the United States, the
parties may plead and manage their own causes personally or by the assistance of counsel.
2. According to the National Center for State Courts 2006 report, in the United States,
many state court systems and the federal courts are experiencing an increasing proportion of pro
se litigants. Estimates of the pro se rate of family law overall averaged 67% in California, 73% in
Florida's large counties, and 70% in some Wisconsin counties. Madelynn Herman (September
25, 2006). "Self-Representation: Pro Se Statistics". National Center for State Courts. Archived
from the original on 2012-05-04. In San Diego, for example, the number of divorce filings
involving at least one pro se litigant rose from 46% in 1992 to 77% in 2000, in Florida from 66%
in 1999 to 73% in 2001. California reports in 2001 that over 50% of family matters filings in
5
custody and visitation are by pro se litigants. "Trends in Pro Se Litigation". In the U.S. Federal
Court system for the year 2013 approximately 27% of civil actions filed, 92% of prisoner
petitions and 11% of non-prisoner petitions were filed by pro se litigants "Civil Pro Se And Non-
Pro Se Filings, by District, During the 12-Month Period Ending September 30, 2013".
3. Some rules express a preference for resolution of every case on the merits, even if
resolution requires excusing inadvertence by a pro se litigant that would otherwise result in a
dismissal. The Judicial Council justifies this position based on the idea that "Judges are charged
with ascertaining the truth, not just playing referee... A lawsuit is not a game, where the party
with the cleverest lawyer prevails regardless of the merits." Ibid (quoting Gamet v. Blanchard).
It suggests "the court should take whatever measures may be reasonable and necessary to
insure a fair trial" and says "There is only one reported case in the U.S. finding a judge's
specific accommodations have gone too far". The committee notes to the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure rule 56 on summary judgments notes that: "Many courts take extra care with pro se
litigants, advising them of the need to respond and the risk of losing by summary judgment if an
adequate response is not filed. And the court may seek to reassure itself by some examination of
the record before granting summary judgment against a pro se litigant. Right to present relevant
evidence: Cooper v. California (1967), McCray v. Illinois (1967), Pennsylvania v. Ritchie (1987)
Olden v. Kentucky (1988), Michigan v. Lucas (1991).

4. This instant suit was originally filed pro-se in Washington D.C. in pauper status
February 15, 2013, and time stamped February 25, 2013. However, the docket date is April 12,
2013. This case was reviewed by a panel of D.C. judges and docked number 13-CV- 0496 and
listed as 42:1983 civil rights act. While the claim was being screened by a "panel of judges" it
was ordered that the case would “proceed” and be transferred to the eastern district of Michigan
on April 12, 2013. Transfer was completed electronically April 30, 2013. The case was not only
"not dismissed" but transferred by the D.C. district to move forward in the eastern district of
Michigan. Plaintiff filed an objection to transfer May 5, 2013 due to conflict of interest in that
Judge Cleland of the eastern district is a defendant and "guilty of extortion, fraud and other acts
8
and is employed currently" in Michigan, On June 5, 2013, there was apparently an order
reassigning case from Lawrence P. Zatkoff to, unbelievably, “defendant” Judge Cleland. The
plaintiff was not copied on the order. The plaintiffs May 5, 2013 filing was posted as June 11,
2013. Then an order vacating the June 5, 2013 assignment was docketed and the case was
reassigned to Zatkoff again. On January 22, 2014 the U.S. court of appeals for the sixth circuit
intervened and assigned District Judge James G. Carr from the Northern District of Ohio to
preside over the case. Only after ten of the defendants have already been served, and the
defendants call the court house to coerce the judge Carr illegally, does he decide to take adverse
action outside of a motion to dismiss, and prior to the defendants time to respond to the
complaint (another fraud upon the court). His involuntary dismissal is without precedent.
5. April 11, 2014, Judge Carr outrageously dismissed all claims with prejudice, even
though the D.C. court listed it as 42:1983 civil rights act and did not dismiss it but reassigned it.
Carr also illegally and outrageously stated that since an appeal could not be taken in “good faith”
that any appeal must be with prepayment of applicable fees; this was again to punish the pro se
plaintiff without precedent or cause. Florida Judge Davies, some time ago after the initial
abduction and kidnapping, made a statement which Carr latched on to personally. Judge Carr
goes on to pick out of 119 pages of plaintiff’s complaint to cite the fact someone was mentioned
by Judge Davies himself, implying that she may have done someone a favor in facilitating the
outrageous high level kidnapping and abduction pulled off with the assistance of federal and
state agencies. ( Willie Meggs personally knows her). Judge Davies stated, “There was nothing
you could have done that would have changed what we were going to do to you or your
daughter, so don’t fight it”. He said, “As long as Hillary is in office you will never get her back”,
referring to Hillary Clinton of course. It was a clear implication of the surrounding
9
circumstances. Judge Davies said it, not the plaintiff, so people can infer what they want from it.
If that is not enough, see the action Judge Carr takes in the matter.
6. In Carr’s effort to dismiss the complaint, he exposes his conflict of interest. Obviously,
he has an issue with Clinton showing up on the complaint because he was in fact "Hired By
Them"; further convoluting the case. According to record on federal judicial service: Judge Carr
was nominated by William J. Clinton on January 27, 1994 to a seat vacated by Richard B.
McQuade, Jr. Judge Carr knew this fact full well, and coming upon this issue in the complaint,
he should have immediately recused himself. But instead, he chooses to act on his compulsions
and do the wrong and unjust thing, by enforcing his prejudice in drafting an order which in effect
maliciously punishes a pro se plaintiff for filing a complaint at all. The order was even stated to
be with prejudice by Car himself. Carr’s compensation is clearly tied to other parties mentioned
in the complaint by Judge Davies, even though they are not defendants in the complaint. This
clearly compelled Carr’s prejudicial, illegal, unjust, and untimely decision. On April 21, 2014,
the plaintiff filed a Plaintiff's Motion to Quash, Motion for Recusal, and Objection to Order. On
May 5, 2014, Judge Carr ordered the motion was deemed an appeal, however, he ordered as
another malicious “punishment” a certification that no appeal may be taken by the plaintiff
without prepayment of applicable fees, because, he outrageously contended, it could not be
taken in “good faith” under 28 U.S.C. 1915 (a) (3).
7. He clearly knew this was untrue as did the court of appeals as they ultimately charged
no costs per February 5, 2015 mandate 14-1584; even though they neglected to do the rest of
their job properly. The HSC pointed out that an involuntary dismissal of a complaint with
prejudice are disfavored and the threshold for doing so is set high. Dismissal with prejudice
"cannot be affirmed absent deliberate delay, contumacious conduct, or actual prejudice."
10
Shasteen, Inc. v. Hilton Hawaiian Village Joint Venture, 79 Hawai'i 103, 107, 899 P.2d 386, 390
(1995). Without evidence of any one of these three elements, the dismissal is an abuse of
discretion. Carr presented no evidence of any misconduct of any kind by the plaintiff. If you
were a non-represented litigant, and should the court not follow the law as to non-represented
litigants, then the judge has expressed an "appearance of partiality" and, under the law, it would
seem that he/she has disqualified him/herself. Pro se plaintiffs are supposed to have due process
and constitutional rights too. That Court also stated that Section 455(a) "requires a judge to
recuse himself in any proceeding in which her impartiality might reasonably be questioned."
Taylor v. O'Grady, 888 F.2d 1189 (7th Cir. 1989). In Pfizer Inc. v. Lord, 456 F.2d 532 (8th Cir.
1972), the Court stated that "It is important that the litigant not only actually receive justice, but
that he believes that he has received justice." The Supreme Court has ruled and has reaffirmed
the principle that "justice must satisfy the appearance of justice", Levine v. United States, 362
U.S. 610, 80 S.Ct. 1038 (1960), citing Offutt v. United States, 348 U.S. 11, 14, 75 S.Ct. 11, 13
(1954).
8. On May 30, 2014 Plaintiff filed in the appeals court “Plaintiff’s Motion for Default
Judgment” citing the defendants had already been served and their time had run out to reply and
comply with court rules of pleading. They also filed no request for extension, retained no
counsel, and intentionally chose not to comply or participate. Additionally, Judge Carr’s order
was void as a matter of law because he was clearly required to recuse himself and did not;
another fraud upon the court and abuse of discretion. Plaintiff filed his appellate brief on July 14,
2014 which addressed every component of Carr’s order in great detail with some partial
snapshots of some prime, irrefutable, signed, dated, documentary exhibits from the complaint
11
itself for ease of reference. The brief was accepted on first submission without any revisions
required.
9. December 12, 2014 the sixth circuit court of appeals affirmed Carr’s order without a
reasoned opinion. The order doesn’t even mention the brief at all, or the specific, irrefutable,
evidence which was presented in it, as components of the original exhibits. It simply ignores the
entire brief, documentary evidence, facts, and applicable law presented without refuting them or
correcting any application. A pro se plaintiff should never be intentionally mistreated and denied
due process rights in this manner by a federal court. The order intentionally misrepresents,
trivializes, and ignores outrageous, felonious, misconduct by the defendants; only to cover up the
case with insulting allegations of implausibility as if it is some sort of personal issue and not a
complaint with 400 pages of exhibits. Not only that, but the appeals court insanely accuses the
father of doing the kidnapping and states “which led to his arrest in 1997 in Michigan for
kidnapping”. The father was “never” arrested for kidnapping; he was arrested illegally on
trumped up fraudulent “grand theft” charges which were dismissed. The father/ pastor has been
denied all contact with his daughter for last 10 years through illegal acts of pagan terrorism.
AMENDMENT IV of the U.S. Constitution ….” no Warrants shall issue, but upon
probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” (Fraud is does not establish probable cause to arrest an innocent citizen and take their child)
12
10. That is the whole point, and the court of appeals itself intentionally misrepresents the
facts and law to cover it up through fraud upon the court defaming the father and intentionally
ignoring the law, evidence, and facts. (Excerpt 14-1584 C.O.A. order page 2 Dec.12, 2014). This
is defamatory per se.
11. It is also without the necessary specific reference and reasoning because it has none.
A complaint cannot be implausible if it is a fact supported with hard copy, irrefutable,
documentary evidence of illegal acts per se; you can’t make this stuff up it is so outrageous and
obviously illegal.
12. The plaintiff divorced his former wife in 97’and the divorce agreement was drafted
by the former wife’s attorney, the father was unrepresented. The plaintiff and former wife
agreed to give the plaintiff, (father) “sole custody”, in “exchange” for ex-wife not having to pay
any child support. The agreement included a separation and noninterference clause and was
13
approved, witnessed, ratified and ordered. During the proceedings it was always understood, by
the attorney and the judge, the plaintiff was moving to Michigan for better job opportunities and
the former wife was free to come along and live separately; the truck was even being packed
while the papers were being approved and the lease for the town home ran out that same day.
There were no restrictive covenants at all on moving and it was all on the up and up. The father
called the ex-wife when he arrived in Michigan and it was not some big secret where he was,
unlike what they tried to make it seem, because the father’s sister was there. The former wife
decided to stay in Florida, intentionally. The ex-mother in law harassed and tormented the former
wife about the agreement and stated that she should have taken the child and all the money. She
also stated “you can’t let him have her, he loves Jesus too much!” Rather than file any motion for
change of custody and serve it on the father as the law requires, the former wife, her mother, and
new attorney (Marilyn Morris) decided to conspire with State Attorney Willie Meggs, local,
state, and federal officials to illegally fabricate baseless, trumped up, grand theft charges to
abduct the child and falsely imprison and arrest the father (who just graduated with honors from
Florida State 19 months earlier). This was a blatant act of unprovoked, illegal, discriminatory,
terrorism and intentional fraud upon the court.
13. The former wife filed fraudulent sworn statements while she was on probation for
domestic violence, the former mother in law filed fraudulent statements about a car theft from
her house, attorney Marilyn Morris was instructed to come up with ”some sort of felony
warrant”. The grand theft was even exaggerated monetarily and was comprised only of
children’s clothes and a couple pieces of furniture with a value of maybe 750.00 which were
already part of the marital settlement agreement. The child was illegally abducted, and the father
falsely arrested and imprisoned and put in leg chains and hand cuffs. Father was then carted
14
around from one federal institution to another around the country with murders and rapists in leg
chains and handcuffs on con-air flights for a month. ( purely “insane” and “unconstitutional”)
14. Once back in Florida, the father was forced to get a criminal attorney who “required”
the father to get a family law attorney (and even paid the retainer out of his retainer). The family
law attorney failed to appeal anything and was simply a pawn of the state in a kangaroo court.
The original and legal marital settlement agreement was completely thrown out by Judge Davies
in violation of law, and a new one created by “fraud upon the court”; removing the father’s sole
custody (without cause or due process) and extorting child support from the father illegally
(without submission of a guidelines sheet by the family law attorney) . Immediately after the
change in custody, the fake grand theft charges were dropped (nolle processed) because they
knew the fake trumped up charges were a pretext for change in custody and they accomplished
their true agenda (hold them over the father’s head as a form of duress) and preconceived means
to an end. The criminal attorney later took an employment position with the State Attorney
Willie Meggs who he was defending the father against showing the true conflict of interest and
causation.
15. Judge Davies, who threw out the original and only legal MSA agreement, told the
father where to go to get a job, which was with a government contractor Detroit Diesel. He stated
that the “mother would get the child and you will do okay financially”. The father was still given
shared custody though, likely out of their feelings of guilt. From then on the father was working
for government cronies at Detroit Diesel as a financial analyst, they were aware of the situation
and even commented on it at times; and that brought to light a whole other set of other illegal
issues, because of their and the judge’s admitted involvement.
15
16. The father thought that if other courts could see what was really happening, he could
get the family law issues corrected, but all the Florida family law and appeals courts went along
with, ignored, or covered up the barbaric illegal acts. The family law attorney attempted to sue
the father for 30,000.00 more than he was already paid, even though he didn’t do proper
representation, any appeals, or submit, and wasn’t required to submit by the judge, a guidelines
sheet (another fraud upon the court). The father was forced to file for bankruptcy. As a pro se,
the father attempted to get the child support set to a reasonable amount so he could still travel to
see his daughter. After the mock hearing, hearing officer Dawn Coloca -Johnson sent a
fraudulent extortion order that did not represent at all what was determined at the hearing and
even increased the support. Additionally, cruelly and barbarically, the hearing officer required
the father to pay support in June and July when he would have his daughter for summer. This
extortion and fraud upon the court was to intentionally and maliciously sabotage the father’s
ability to provide his daughter a proper summer vacation while no travel expenses were shared
either. The father was informed that the hearing officer actually checked out the tape of the
hearing, and erased it. She did this to destroy and block any evidence on appeal. ( Another insane
fraud upon the court).
17. When the daughter was 7 years old, the mother and aunt tried to get her in to
pornography and showed her pictures of other naked women, specifically one named “Michelle”,
naked with her legs spread and stated to the child that it would be “cute” if she did it also. The
child told her father about it on a visit and the father filed charges immediately and the reviewing
officer, after speaking with the child, also was concerned and called child services to report the
incident. (Exhibit 13 in the complaint)
16
18. There was an admission and the pornographic pictures were found but the case was
blocked by State Attorney Willie Meggs, who stated he was the “only game in town” (another
fraud upon the court) the same one who, with Judge Reynolds, abducted the child, kidnapped and
falsely imprisoned the father in the first place, abusing the child. (Exhibits to the original
complaint verify this). It was becoming quite clear that was how the government operated, down
there, at the very least. Willie Meggs, in a face to face meeting with the father February 16,
2001, even stated, “We do things differently down here” as an admission. He also said, “so let
me see, you want me to do for you what we did to you for her?” Father said, “No, what you did
to me was illegal, what I want you to do is enforce the law. Meggs stated, “If I say charges aren’t
going to be filed then charges aren’t going to be filed”.
17
19. Assistant state attorney Goodwin and Chief investigator Gandy were present also, all
we wearing loaded guns in holsters. They made one comment that they would have not done to
the father what they did, “if we knew what you were like”. This again demonstrates the arbitrary
original kidnapping and abduction had nothing to do with the law, but was entirely and illegally
contrived and fabricated. Plaintiff mentioned to Meggs that he knew a retired Judge who my
come down there to help and Meggs said, that he was the "only game in town" and the facts
didn't matter. The father/plaintiff mentioned that he had some recent opinions on the matter by a
retired judge. The Meggs stated, " go ahead and bring him down here, he'll be like a fish out of
water" and "we do things differently down here", and "good for her if she can get away with
breaking the law".
20. From then on, in retaliation, the fathers work environment suffered at the government
contractor Detroit Diesel through harassment. Plaintiff’s supervisor Bob Green made additional
comments about the plaintiff's marital status, having to "leave the country to get a job", having to
"kill your parents" or "rob a bank' to have enough money to see your daughter again, stating
"nothing is going to be easy", in addition to other various kinds of harassment detailed in the
complaint. Green made the comment about the plaintiff “never” seeing his daughter again in
2005; and since 2005 all contact the father had with his daughter, including phone calls, has been
blocked. Bob Green clearly had a role in knowing of the continued illegal kidnapping and
abduction just as Judge Davies told the plaintiff he would work for Detroit Diesel before he even
got the job. Green stated to he was told he could do anything he wanted to do the plaintiff, short
of hitting the plaintiff. Mr. Green stated he was considered an "officer" and used homeland
security to label the plaintiff a "terrorist" because Green is a mentally ill. No employer in their
18
right mind would ever even consider making such outrageous disturbed comments about
someone’s child.
21. Obviously, there was prior knowledge. This was all admitted in the Green civil suit
and they never denied any of it. The father took the Green case all the way to this Supreme Court
based on USCA6 No. 07-1941-2260/2389/2492 but certiorari was denied, it was stated, because
the printer made the font off 1 point off, as the only error. Even though rules state a pro se is not
to be held to the same level of perfection as a practicing attorney, the plaintiff was, in this case.
April 1, 2009, plaintiff filed a motion with this U.S. Supreme Court to correct the clerical error,
but it was denied submission and actually returned without a number. I guess we will find out
what happens this time with the whole world watching this case proceed over the internet as it
goes down in history. For a pastor, it all serves a greater purpose no matter what happens.
22. The plaintiff was physically attacked by the former wife on numerous occasions,
sometimes with others assisting in the act such as Mona Vonk and Tonya Smith at the child’s
school who assaulted the father, when he went to pick up his daughter. The Leon County
Sheriff’s Deputy by named John Meeks arrived and attempted to persuade the employees that the
father hit them back and he could take the father to jail if they would "just say he did". The
deputy fabricated a no trespassing warrant, contrary to the principal Johnson's wishes, and forced
the father by threat to let his daughter go when he had physical and legal custody, again
abducting her, defaming the father, traumatizing the child, causing severe emotional distress to
daughter and father and forcing the father to "leave town". This was after threatening several
times to put the father in jail and refusing as before to press charges against those who
committed illegal acts. Lauren even said, “Why are they trying to make you look like a bad
daddy?” Leon County Sheriff's Deputy Meeks stated that plaintiff should "stay up in Michigan"
19
and that the plaintiff is only making it harder on his daughter by trying to see her and that "the
more you come down the harder we will make it for her" just as Bob Green stated "maybe you
just won’t be able to pick her up".
23. When assault and battery charges were filed against the ex-wife, they would be
blocked by Sheriff Larry Campbell who would ignore the assault and battery incidents and
instead threaten the father, illegally, with additional arrests. Campbell would harass, terrorize,
and threaten the father through hypocrisy and lies stating, “YOU WERE IN THE WRONG”.
(Attached exhibit 18 from complaint) This is after the father would travel over 1000 miles each
way just to see his daughter. This is just another insane abduction, after one of many physical
attacks in retaliation for reporting the ex-wife’s insane abusive act of coercing and involving the
daughter in pornography. According to Campbell it was his “instructions”.
24. From then on, the father was eventually denied any and all contact, even phone calls,
20
with his daughter, regardless of what visitation required, since she was 11 years old. There is no
greater tyranny, or cruel and unusual punishment, than taking someone’s child! AMENDMENT
VIII of the Constitution in part: …. nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. However, they
still did illegal income tax intercepts and income deduction for child support (involuntary
servitude) while denying any contact! The Florida courts refused to enforce the visitation at all
by order of Willie Meggs. The father was also run out of town from then on, repeatedly and
illegally, by the Tallahassee and Leon county police and Sheriff Larry Campbell and his
deputies.
25. The father was repeatedly and illegally threatened with additional illegal false arrests
and false charges. All this was done because a father was trying to protect his daughter from
child abuse (supported by actual e-mail and dozens of other exhibits and documents in the
complaint). Similar to Meggs prior admission, they were doing to the father what they should
have been doing to the ex-wife. AMENDMENT XIV of the constitution: No State shall make or
enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States;
nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Federal
kidnapping statute envisages continuing offense. U.S. v. Denny-Shaffer, C.A.10 (N.M.) 1993, 2
F.3d 999.
e-mail letter from ex-wife and intent of illegal denial of all contact. More threats and
admission of criminal, fraudulent, second court order she refers to as (“ours”) of which there still
is no violation from the father. Here is more intentional, hypocritical, harassment and pure evil.
This is continuing intentional infliction of emotional distress by definition per se. One of the
deputies also offered to knock off the father.

Here's the deal, Dan. You don't matter. Nothing you say or do or think or
feel matters. You know why? Because there's no rewind button on life. Lauren
is 14 and you have never been a father to her and never will be. My best
advice to you is to get some help and try to make something of your miserable
existance and stop interefereing with those of us who are living our
productive lives. You are the product of the choices you have made and until
you realize that there will never be any hope for you. You think you are
SOOOOOOOOOO smart, so take some responsiblity, smartass. No one is smart
enough to have taken advantage of you, right? So my other advice to you is
to terminate parental rights in the legal sense, since you did so many years
ago in the emotional, financial, and every other sense. That way, the state
will not have any recourse to "extort" any more money from you for supporting
your child. You were really more of a sperm donor than anything else so you
should just act accordingly. So I'll remind you, there is no rewind. Its
over. Wow. Funny for you to be the one to refer to court orders when you
are so clearly in violation of ours! Your harrassing emails will be
forwarded to the court and the proper authorities for review for criminal
prosecution. Please refrain from any such contact with me in the future.
26. The father filed suits against government contractor Detroit Diesel, Supervisor Bob
Green, and the other defendants including the state and federal agencies, Willie Meggs, Larry
Campbell, and others responsible for the original abduction and kidnapping and other continuing
acts. When the suit was filed against Detroit Diesel for their illegal acts, they fired the father in
retaliation within two weeks of the filing (this act is in itself enough to state a claim of retaliation
sufficient to go to trial). They never denied the alleged retaliation in the accepted amended
complaint, and lost by default and failure to respond. The father was illegally denied a decision
in his favor (another fraud upon the court), even though the opposing attorney admitted the
plaintiff won as a matter of law. What makes this an even more extreme case of fraud was the
fact that the father won the cases pro se, and as a matter of law has a right to more liberal
interpretations of pleadings than that of a practicing attorney. The opposing attorney never even
asked for a more definite statement and even admitted the father pleaded “exactly what you
intended to” and “they will probably give you that one on appeal”.
22
27. When the green case was filed, federal Judge Cleland attempted to sanction the
father, illegally, through another extortion and fraud upon the court. Amazingly, the court of
appeals recognized this and overruled his illegal $20,000.00 in sanctions designed to punish the
pro se father. Then, the father is attacked by the Police immediately after the initial filing of this
similar obstructed complaint in September of 2007 in which the plaintiff was nearly killed (on
video) when illegally and arbitrarily attacked, beaten, choked, tasered, and imprisoned by the
Southfield, MI Police; outrageous Illegal bail was set at $150,000.00 !, and the plaintiff was
charged with 3 trumped up felonies all of which the jury found not guilty (establishing the
prosecution was malicious). AMENDMENT VIII to the Constitution, Excessive bail shall not be
required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. In reality,
this was the second illegal kidnapping and false imprisonment of the father. Nobody can deny
150,000 is excessive bail for a false arrest.
28. End of trial, after the Jury foreman states “not guilty” three times, ”the prosecutor
actually jumps up and yells at the jury, "but he’s suing the FBI!!" showing true basis for the
attack right from the beginning. This is not a surprise since Dave Kotel of the FBI called the
plaintiff’s parents before the initial attack. Dave. Kotel personally contacted the plaintiffs Father
and Mother and told them that it would be in their "best interest" not to help the plaintiff (Para.
146 complaint). After plaintiff found out who he called, plaintiff called Kotel back and asked if
he had contact with anyone. He initially denied it, then, when plaintiff proved to him he was
lying and gave him specific details of his calls to plaintiff's parents he became combative and
said, “So what!?”, and admitted contact. This is COINTELPRO per se. That is when plaintiff
asked to speak with his supervisor Toni Charabot , who basically admitted the phone call and did
23
not deny the plaintiff was followed but that it was “another agency” i.e. Homeland Security
doing it.
29. This is also not surprising, since the original illegal kidnapping and abduction
displayed additional similar behavior with illegal stalking of family members and the plaintiff by
government agencies involved. It was never a secret where the father was when he moved, this is
all ridiculous and unjustified drama, exaggeration, and fabrication by the police for a political
favor. (Excerpt from evidence exhibit 5 in complaint c 97-9637 evidence of police illegally
kidnapping plaintiff on file) This behavior is intolerable in a civilized society and was already
addressed by the U.S. senate committee investigation on COINTELPRO.
30. Then, in another in conflict of interest and obstruction, Cleland then “again” illegally
intervened “again” to block the pending federal civil case and commit “another” fraud upon the
court. Judge Robert H. Cleland, who is a “defendant” named in the suit, illegally takes the case
from the judge assigned to it and arbitrarily and illegally dismisses it using the illegal detention
as a pretext for failure to proceed in a timely manner.
31. Then, yet again, Cleland attempts to intervene in this instant civil suit by having the
case assigned to him when he is one of the defendants, “again”. But the court of appeals
intervenes again assigning another judge. Cleland is violently in opposition to the Constitution,
rules of the court and the cannons he was sworn to uphold. He intentionally, repeatedly, and
criminally, obstructs justice and violently attacks pro se filers rights. No plaintiff, or any citizen
for that matter, should be brutally and maliciously obstructed, stalked, and denied justice like this
24
by any judge. This especially applies to pro se filers who are to be treated with greater
consideration as a matter of law. It is just insane and outrageous.
32. The irrational and brutal abuse which has been inflicted on the father for attempting
to exercise his rights and find justice just to see and protect his daughter is tyrannical. It is illegal,
unconstitutional, and completely in opposition to the rules and procedures for how pro- se filers
should be treated. This is simply insane terrorism, child abduction, alienation, and abuse. It
continues to this day, and 10 years later the daughter still lives in fear of the terrorist acts of the
government that destroyed her father’s life, and what they may do to her if she wants to see her
father. Now the federal courts are blocking the case too.
33. The Supreme Court noted that in the federal courts, the right of self-representation
has been protected by statute since the beginnings of our Nation. Section 35 of the Judiciary Act
of 1789, 1 Stat. 73, 92, enacted by the First Congress and signed by President Washington one
day before the Sixth Amendment was proposed, provided that 'in all the courts of the United
States, the parties may plead and manage their own causes personally or by the assistance of
counsel.
34. Most courts will interpret a pro se litigant’s pleading “liberally” and will not dismiss
the complaint for mere technical violations of rules. Stanley v. Goodwin, 475 F. Supp. 2d 1026,
1032-33(D. Haw. 2006) (citing Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519, 520-21 (1972)) In fact, some
courts will go so far as to advise the pro se litigants of the defects in their pleadings and give
them an opportunity to amend before dismissal. Fedrik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1261 (9th
Cir. 1992)). If the plaintiff fails to include sufficient information, counsel should consider filing a
motion for a more definite statement that clearly articulates the deficiencies of the pro se
25
complaint. 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claims are brought frequently by pro se prisoners. Such claims
require that a defendant, “acting under the color of state law,” has deprived the plaintiff of a right
under the Constitution or the laws of the United States. West v. Atkins, 487 U.S. 42, 47 (1988).
35. Many pro se litigants will use this in their pleadings; "Pleadings in this case are being
filed by Plaintiff In Propria Persona, wherein pleadings are to be considered without regard to
technicalities. Propria, pleadings are not to be held to the same high standards of perfection as
practicing lawyers. See Haines v. Kerner 92 Sct 594, also See Power 914 F2d 1459 (11th
Cir1990), also See Hulsey v. Ownes 63 F3d 354 (5th Cir 1995). also See In Re: HALL v.
BELLMON 935 F.2d 1106 (10th Cir. 1991)." In Puckett v. Cox, it was held that a pro-se
pleading requires less stringent reading than one drafted by a lawyer (456 F2d 233 (1972 Sixth
Circuit USCA). Justice Black in Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41 at 48 (1957) "The Federal Rules
rejects the approach that pleading is a game of skill in which one misstep by counsel may be
decisive to the outcome and accept the principle that the purpose of pleading is to facilitate a
proper decision on the merits." According to Rule 8(f) FRCP and the State Court rule which
holds that all pleadings shall be construed to do substantial justice."
REASONS FOR GRANTING THE WRIT
I. The questions presented are exceedingly important. The court(s) below "so far
departed from the accepted and usual course of judicial proceedings, or sanctioned
(gave explicit approval of) such a departure by a lower court, as to call for an
exercise of this Court's supervisory power."
36. Innocent citizens of this country have a right to be free from arbitrary kidnappings,
false imprisonment, denial of contact with their children as a political favor, and other forms of
tyranny. The 6th circuit deliberately misrepresents the circumstances surrounding the complaint
by stating “which led to his arrest in 1997 for kidnapping”. The plaintiff has “never” been
26
arrested for kidnapping but was the “victim” of a kidnapping(s). Then there is the attack and
beating after filing the first federal suit by the police which is also on video. The 6th circuit court
recognizes an arrest, yet arbitrarily denies the evidence by a pro se and even outrageously
defames the plaintiff to cover up the truth to make it look as if the plaintiff didn’t have “sole
custody”. The D.C. court already assigned the case and flagged it as 42 USC § 1983 - CIVIL
ACTION FOR DEPRIVATION OF RIGHTS. A pro se case assigned by another court and
already reviewed cannot be dismissed for failure to state a claim when a claim has already been
recognized and even “stated by another court”. It is not in the interest of judicial economy for a
panel of judges to assign a case if they know it would be dismissed. In the appellate brief there is
a section which states “what law do you want applied” for a pro se. The 6th Circuit Court of
Appeals never followed through and applied any of the law that was listed or denied their
application. There was no reasoned opinion, but a pro se should be especially entitled to have
one in a federal case. Additionally, the defendants have already been served and failed to file a
response in the time required by rules and procedures causing a default judgment against them.
II. The decision below conflicts with Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662,678 (2009).
37. The 6th circuit does not directly apply any law, but makes bald general applications
without specificity and expects us to guess their application. This means, there is no reasoned
opinion because they do not provide a “reason” the case applies. Although they cite Iqbal,556
U.S. at 678; Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319,327-28 (1989) they fundamentally neglect to
apply any law and this conflict with other courts. The order provides no reasoned opinion for
their decision. Common sense must prevail here, there will never be a precedent intended to
prevent a pro se from presenting a valid complaint of fraud upon the court. The court is not an
institution of ignorance and stupidity designed to ignore and facilitate illegal acts in violation of
27
the constitution. Justice must satisfy the appearance of justice. Unlike the plaintiff, Iqbal had no
written document admissions of the specific acts upon which he was basing his claims, he had no
personal meetings with the defendants in which admissions were made as to illegal behavior as
the plaintiff does here with Meggs. This supports factual matter, accepted as true, to state a claim
that is more than plausible. There is no case law to the contrary.
38. The plaintiff's allegations cannot be considered to be general, the evidence shown in
the complaint as exhibits supports the allegations and elaborates and expounds on the allegations
with very intricate and specific details; it is also to be considered a part of the plausibility or
reasonable inference of pleading as a whole. Must the obvious be restated twice in order not to
be ignored? Court...should view each allegation in the context of the entire complaint to
determine whether a plaintiff has alleged sufficient facts to support his or her claim. See In re
Polyurethane Foam Antitrust Litig., 799 F. Supp. 2d 777, 782 (N.D. Ohio 2011) A Pro se
plaintiff’s complaints, if construed liberally, prevent a judge from using hyper critical
misrepresentations and arbitrarily ignoring the facts to punish pro se plaintiff's by hinging their
rights, or the denial of them, on the pleading alone rather than the irrefutable facts. This is so
“common sense”, rather than prejudice, prevails. Also, in the interest of justice, the judge has the
flexibility to request additional facts or evidence or a more definite statement before making an
arbitrary adverse judgment without context and devoid of common sense. PLEADING §103
Importantly, said the Court, plausibility is not an invitation for judges to engage in probabilistic
reasoning to weed out improbable, but well-pleaded complaints. Determining whether a claim is
plausible is a “contextspecific task” requiring the exercise of “judicial experience and common
sense".
28
III. The court misapplies Arkenbrandt v. Richards 504 U.S. 689 703 (1992) and Bell
Atl. Corp v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544,570 without a reasoned opinion as supporting
their position. This is not a family law case, but a constitutional and civil rights case
as recognized by the D.C. court and cannot be “factually implausible”. Family law
courts do not legalize the use of fraudulent grand theft charges, illegal beatings, or
fraud upon the court to facilitate or cover up a proceeding, or addressing the illegal
criminal acts themselves.
39. The 6th circuit states “Despite Meier’s contentions to the contrary, the claims raised in
his complaint are often fantastical or factually implausible.” It is not in the court’s procedure or
rules to use a term like “despite” as a flip denial or dismissal of facts for a pro se. If they are
attempting to allude to some sort of mental instability, by using the insult as a “pretext” for a
denial of due process rights, the plaintiff was already illegally forced by the government to go
through testing of a psychologist after the illegal retaliation attack and beating when the first
federal filing was made. In addition, the plaintiff paid for his own evaluation by a second
psychiatrist. Plaintiff was found to have no such issues at all, and when it went to jury trial, the
government lost on that and the three fraudulent felony charges too. They already used that
ridiculous, defamatory, ploy and lost at jury trial, so that game is over. It is simple, on the
plaintiff’s complaint, and here, what you see is what you get with documentary evidence.
Additionally, the plaintiff is a world class corporate analyst and auditor, in addition to being a
pastor. The plaintiff was trained and educated to find and analyze all the facts and facets of an
issue and assemble a logical conclusion to the matter. The fact is, everyone else is outraged and
shocked at the inaction and negligence by the courts, and they complain that only the courts are
making the irrational accusations perceived by all as an obvious cover up.
40. The 6th circuit is maliciously ignoring the merits and evidence because it is
“impossible” for the complaint to be “implausible; since it is based on facts and documentary
evidence. It is not implausible that the claims are supported by documentary evidence. Is not
29
implausible that the plaintiff’s daughter was illegally abducted and the plaintiff kidnapped with
documentary evidence. It is not implausible that the plaintiff was attacked, beaten (on video) and
charged with 3 trumped up felonies in retaliation for a federal suit and won at jury trial in case
08-43959. We already have the documentary evidence, and admissions, that a pleading satisfying
Twombly would not even require before discovery, so we are “beyond factual allegations that
are required by law” or even “reasonable inference” we have “undeniable proof “and “prima
facie evidence”. Nothing anyone could possibly write or plead or state about any evidence in any
case could go beyond the actual evidence itself, yet Twombly allows for the lower acceptable
threshold of a well plead fact before the evidence or discovery. Considering only those well-
pleaded facts, a complaint must "state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face." Twombly,
550 U.S. at 570. "A claim has facial plausibility when the plaintiff pleads factual content that
allows the court to draw the reasonable inference that the defendant is liable for the misconduct
alleged." Iqbal, 556 U.S. at 678 (citing Twombly, 550 U.S. at 556). A plaintiff's factual
allegations must be enough to raise the claimed right to relief above the speculative level and to
create a reasonable expectation that discovery will reveal evidence to support the claim.
41. In a First Amendment retaliation claim, "retaliation for the exercise of constitutional
rights is itself a violation of the Constitution." Thaddeus-X, 175 F.3d at 394. Do we need a
video of the attack, beating, choking, and tasering to state a claim? Plaintiff should not have to
go to such lengths, especially as a pro se, because there is already a full court record of trial to
review. But, if the court needs it, there “is” a video of the attack. Also, the order says “often”
fantastical or factually implausible without a single example or reason; and by the choice of the
word “often” rather than “always”, we know that it does not apply to all of the claims anyway.
30
42. The lack of a reasoned opinion in a dismissal by the court is similar to an admission
in Rule 8, if you will. Rule 8(d), a pleader must do more than make a “passing reference” to the
allegations in the preceding pleading or interpose an “ambiguous response” to them. As
discussed under Rule 8(b) a denial must meet the substance of the averments denied; otherwise
the response will be treated as an “admission” under Rule 8(d) Similarly, as is discussed in
earlier sections, a denial on “information and belief” or a denial based upon a lack of knowledge
or information that is addressed to matters of “public record or items that are peculiarly within
the pleader's knowledge” will be ineffective and the matter deemed admitted under Rule 8(d).
The trial and evidence, including the video of the illegal act, is a matter of public record as are
the exhibits in the complaint.
43. The 6th circuit mentions, but never denies, there was repeated fraud upon the court
and a kidnapping. This is what is accepted as “Supporting Factual Positions”: Rule 56 C(1) (A)
citing to particular parts of materials in the record, including depositions, documents,
electronically stored information, affidavits or declarations, stipulations (including those made
for purposes of the motion only), admissions, interrogatory answers, or other materials. Plaintiff
fulfilled the rules by providing evidence of cases cited, documents provided and not denied,
admissions cited, stipulations cited, affidavits signed and notarized cited, yet the due process
rights of a full and fair opportunity to litigate are still being denied illegally even on appeal.
Chief Justice William Howard Taft explained the purpose behind the clauses in Truax v.
Corrigan (1921) as follows: “The due process clause requires that every man shall have the
protection of his day in court, and the benefit of the general law, a law which hears before it
condemns, which proceeds not arbitrarily or capriciously, but upon inquiry, and renders
judgment only after trial, so that every citizen shall hold his life, liberty, property and immunities
31
under the protection of the general rules which govern society. It, of course, tends to secure
equality of law in the sense that it makes a required minimum of protection for every one’s right
of life, liberty, and property, which the Congress or the Legislature may not withhold.”
44. Definition: Plausible Wikipedia: Apparently reasonable and valid, and truthful. So is a
truth that has been proven by fact and evidence plausible? By definition, it is impossible for it
not to be. The court recognizes the father was arrested by their own admission, so they recognize
this is “plausible”; yet they intentionally misrepresent who did the kidnapping. The father was
the “victim” of the kidnapping, as is obvious from the documents. This is why a civil jury trial
has been continually denied and why they make intentional false decisions in opposition to the
mounds of irrefutable evidence of the government conspiring and illegally kidnapping innocent
citizens. The court, rather than helping the pro se plaintiff exercise his rights, is acting as an
adversary as if they are employed by the defendants in that capacity. Thaddeus-X, 175 F.3d at
398. Moreover, because "there is no justification for harassing people for exercising their
constitutional rights," the deterrent effect of the adverse action need not be great in order to be
actionable. Id. at 397 (citation and internal quotation marks omitted). "The plaintiff's evidentiary
burden is merely to establish the factual basis for his claim that the retaliatory acts amounted to
more than a de minimis injury." Bell, 308 F.3d at 606.
45. The plaintiff filed a demand for a jury trial and is guaranteed a right to jury trial by
Amendment VII of the constitution; but that right is being denied time and again to obstruct
justice. The Court in Iqbal reiterated that "the pleading standard Rule 8 announces does not
require 'detailed factual allegations,' but it demands more than 'an unadorned, the defendant-
unlawfully-harmed-me-accusation.'" Thus, .Iqbal established the most current precedent for
courts to follow when making the determination as to whether plaintiff’s allegations in the
32
complaint are able to survive a motion to dismiss. However, many courts still have implied the
plausibility standard is not strictly adhered to when ruling on a pro se complaint's ability to
survive a motion to dismiss. However, this pro se plaintiff is being arbitrarily treated with
misrepresentations, hypercritical conclusionary statements, and deliberate indifference without a
proper reasoned opinion by Judge Carr and the 6th circuit court of appeals in violation of due
process.
IV. The court misapplies any statute of limitations as barring a claim of fraud upon the
court and continuing acts.
46. In CJS JUDGMENTS § 782 XXI. Res Judicata§ 782. Considerations of fairness and
justice Collateral estoppel, or issue preclusion, being an equitable doctrine, as discussed supra §
779, will generally be applied “only where no unfairness or injustice results.” So, even if the
elements of the doctrine are otherwise met, a court may still deny application of the doctrine
where such application would be fundamentally unfair. Is it unfair to deny someone their
Constitutional rights and contact with their own child because he “loves Jesus too much”? First,
we will consider that any state court action which is void by “fraud upon the court” as was
mentioned before is 7 Moore's Federal Practice, 2d ed., p. 512, ¶ 60.23. The 7th Circuit further
stated "a decision produced by fraud upon the court is not in essence a decision at all, and
never becomes final." The court must use common sense, and not attempt to trick people into
believing their order by using bald citings of law, as if they automatically apply to any complaint
without a reasoned opinion to back it up.
47. It is only fair that we provide the court a foundation in which to hold fast to the
doctrine of fraud upon the court as an exception to “any time bar”. As such, we cite the
following: Herrington v. United States 424 F.3d 384; 2005. Plaintiff widow and the heirs of two
33
other widows filed an action to set aside a 57-year-old "settlement agreement" on the grounds
that it was procured by fraud upon the court. That is correct, a "57 year old settlement
agreement" Did the court throw this case out as time barred? No, they examined the case to see if
there was in fact a "fraud upon the court" 57 years ago, which may have denied them their rights.
What was the alleged fraud that rose to the level of consideration 57 years later? It was simply
the allegation, “without evidence”, that the government fraudulently misrepresented the nature of
the reason for not providing enough specifications about a plane in 1948.
48. For that allegation, which we use as precedent, the court found it stated a claim for
relief sufficient for the court to investigate the fraud for a simple "settlement agreement". But,
according to Carr and the 6th circuit, an illegal and continuing felony kidnapping, fraudulent
charges, beatings, false imprisonment and extortion by the government is not a claim even if
illegal. No one believes Carr or the 6th circuit court order that the plaintiff has no claims, and it is
clear and obvious to all what is a Constitutional violation. It is obvious to the United Nations,
who is being copied on all of the filings, and has responded to the plaintiff. It is obvious to all on
You Tube who watch Pastor Luke’s videos; it is obvious to the thousands watching the
“meiervmeggs” website which posts all the filings. This is precisely why there are guaranteed
jury trials; they are to prevent this kind of extreme and brutal tyranny and denial of obvious
constitutional rights by a corrupt government. If you Google ” Meier V. Meggs”, you will see
how much is out there for everyone to see.
49. This is also why pro se dismissals are such an abomination. They open the door, not
to clear frivolous lawsuits, but to a pretext for bullying pro se citizens who are seeking justice. If
someone files a frivolous lawsuit and they want to proceed then let them. If it was indeed
frivolous, then the real rules and procedures will address this. They will lose at trial and have to
34
pay court costs, sanctions, attorney’s fees, and more. Today, dismissals are intentionally misused
as a pretext to allow frivolous cases to proceed as political favors when arbitrarily ignored. Then
dismissals are used as a threat, or club, to deny truly obvious and outrageous cases from
proceeding when they are applied arbitrarily, unfairly, and maliciously, just as is happening here.
50. Someone negligently spills hot coffee on themselves at McDonalds and their claim is
not dismissed because of who they are, or there are ridiculous trip and fall lawsuits that proceed
as stating a claim. But, here we have an outrageous illegal kidnapping, beating, false
imprisonment, child abuse, emotional distress, abductions, denial of due process rights,
retaliations, and denial of obvious constitutional rights, which are being unjustly and
outrageously ignored simply because criminals working in the government are the perpetrators;
outrageous! No one will ever believe that is the way to provide justice, but; everyone who is
watching this case on the internet knows full well that it is a historically significant example of
tyranny. The 6th circuit won’t even publish their own orders on this case in an attempt to keep it
unknown to the public; it is even stated on the top of the order: “NOT RECOMMENDED FOR
FULL-TEXT PUBLICATION” because it is such an abomination. This is why all court orders
must be published, so some are not arbitrarily and inconsistently hidden from public view by the
courts based on the intentional denial of due process, civil, and constitutional rights.
51. In the Herrinigton case, we use as precedent; the court did not dismiss it as res
judicata, or sovereign immunity, but reviewed the case stating: "The court rejected the
Government's argument that an abuse of discretion standard of review was appropriate and
instead reviewed de novo." The fraud is the main focus in seeking justice, not the passage of time
to cover it up so the perpetrators can get away with illegal acts. In order to meet the necessarily
demanding standard for proof of fraud upon the court, the United States Court of Appeals for the
35
Third Circuit concludes that there must be: (1) an intentional fraud; (2) by an officer of the court;
(3) which is directed at the court itself; and (4) in fact deceives the court. The Third Circuit
further concludes that a determination of fraud on the court may be justified only by the most
egregious misconduct directed to the court itself, and that it must be supported by clear,
unequivocal and convincing evidence. This case most certainly, by all accounts, contains
egregious misconduct of all kinds providing clear, unequivocal and convincing evidence per se.
52. In this petition alone, we have proof of a “prima facie” case of fraud upon the court:
We have a father with sole custody, proof of illegal charges, proof of conspiring to concoct these
charges illegally by an officer of the court, deception of the court in another jurisdiction with the
fraudulent charges, and the police officer stating there was no violation of court order by the
father, an actual federal extradition and more. Then we have another case of false arrest, false
imprisonment, more beatings, more fraudulent charges and an entire jury trial to expose it! Then
we have never ending threats and harassment after that. Which is worse, an allegation of missing
specifications of a plane for a “settlement agreement” 57 years ago, or a proven (with written
documentation) conspired illegal kidnapping, abduction, extortion, false arrest, false
imprisonment, and fraud upon the court, and more which continues to this day? (See paragrephs
9-21 in appellate brief).
53. This is only a fraction of the proof available referenced in the original complaint with
400 pages of exhibits. Are pro se plaintiff’s entitled to relief from illegal judgments as every
other citizen? Why are citizens, who just happen to work for the government, given the
immunity to terrorize innocent people outside the law? This is called tyranny. Due Process: The
Constitution states only one command twice. The Fifth Amendment says to the federal
government that no one shall be "deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of
36
law." The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, uses the same eleven words, called the Due
Process Clause, to describe a legal obligation of all states. These words have as their central
promise an assurance that all levels of American government must operate within the law
("legality") and provide “fair procedures”. Historically, the clause reflects the Magna Carta of
Great Britain, King John's thirteenth century promise to his noblemen that he would act only in
accordance with law (“legality”) and that all would receive the ordinary processes (procedures)
of law. The requirement that government function in accordance with law is, in itself, ample
basis for understanding the stress given these words.
54. A commitment to legality is at the heart of all advanced legal systems, and the Due
Process Clause often thought to embody that commitment. The clause also promises that before
depriving a citizen of life, liberty or property, government must follow “fair procedures”.
Thus, it is not always enough for the government just to act in accordance with whatever law
there may happen to be. Citizens may also be entitled to have the government observe or offer
fair procedures, whether or not those procedures have been provided for in the law on the basis
of which it is acting. Action denying the process that is “due” would be unconstitutional.
55. A judge is an officer of the court, as well as are all attorneys. A state judge is a state
judicial officer, paid by the State to act impartially and lawfully. A federal judge is a federal
judicial officer, paid by the federal government to act impartially and lawfully. State and federal
attorneys fall into the same general category and must meet the same requirements. A judge is
not the court. People v. Zajic, 88 Ill.App.3d 477, 410 N.E.2d 626 (1980). Whenever any officer
of the court commits fraud during a proceeding in the court, he/she is engaged in "fraud upon the
court". In Bulloch v. United States, 763 F.2d 1115, 1121 (10th Cir. 1985), the court stated "Fraud
upon the court is fraud which is directed to the judicial machinery itself and is not fraud between
37
the parties or fraudulent documents, false statements or perjury. ... It is where the court or a
member is corrupted or influenced or influence is attempted or where the judge has not
performed his judicial function --- thus where the impartial functions of the court have been
directly corrupted."
56. "Fraud upon the court" has been defined by the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals to
"embrace that species of fraud which does, or attempts to, defile the court itself, or is a fraud
perpetrated by officers of the court so that the judicial machinery can not perform in the usual
manner its impartial task of adjudging cases that are presented for adjudication." Kenner v.
C.I.R., 387 F.3d 689 (1968); 7 Moore's Federal Practice, 2d ed., p. 512, ¶ 60.23. The 7th Circuit
further stated "a decision produced by fraud upon the court is not in essence a decision at all,
and never becomes final." Under Illinois and Federal law, when any officer of the court has
committed "fraud upon the court", the orders and judgment of that court are void, of no legal
force or effect.
57. That Court also stated that Section 455(a) "requires a judge to recuse himself in any
proceeding in which her impartiality might reasonably be questioned." Taylor v. O'Grady, 888
F.2d 1189 (7th Cir. 1989). In Pfizer Inc. v. Lord, 456 F.2d 532 (8th Cir. 1972), the Court stated
that "It is important that the litigant not only actually receive justice, but that he believes that he
has received justice."
58. This Supreme Court has ruled and has reaffirmed the principle that "justice must
satisfy the appearance of justice", Levine v. United States, 362 U.S. 610, 80 S.Ct. 1038 (1960),
citing Offutt v. United States, 348 U.S. 11, 14, 75 S.Ct. 11, 13 (1954). A judge receiving a bribe
from an interested party over which he is presiding, does not give the appearance of justice. A
38
judge ignoring or facilitating a kidnapping, taking a case which he is a defendant, denying a jury
trial, or using his position to obstruct justice, does not give the appearance of justice.
59. "Recusal under Section 455 is self-executing; a party need not file affidavits in
support of recusal and the judge is obligated to recuse herself sua sponte under the stated
circumstances." Taylor v. O'Grady, 888 F.2d 1189 (7th Cir. 1989). None of the orders issued by
any judge who has been disqualified by law would appear to be valid. It would appear that they
are void as a matter of law, and are of no legal force or effect.
60. Should a judge not disqualify himself, then the judge is violation of the Due Process
Clause of the U.S. Constitution. United States v. Sciuto, 521 F.2d 842, 845 (7th Cir. 1996) ("The
right to a tribunal free from bias or prejudice is based, not on section 144, but on the Due Process
Clause."). Should a judge issue any order after he has been disqualified “by law”, and if the party
has been denied of any of his / her property, then the judge may have been engaged in the
Federal Crime of "interference with interstate commerce". The judge has acted in the judge's
“personal capacity” and “not in the judge's judicial capacity”. It has been said that this judge,
acting in this manner, has no more lawful authority than someone's next-door neighbor (provided
that he is not a judge).
