https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlaHj9QN9yc

3. Disgraced Suffolk County Register of Probate told him to “fuck off”

after he noted deceit in her office. https://www.youtube.com/watch?

v=gAnq7Dlq3ls

4. Defendant City of Quincy was at all times a duly-chartered

municipality in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

5. Defendant Timmins was at all times relevant to this Action the

Quincy City Solicitor charged with administering Public Information

Requests. He is being sued in his Individual and Professional

Capacities as his conduct in this matter is patently ultra vires.

JURISDICTION and VENUE

6. This is a Court of general jurisdiction fully vested with full authority

to hear all Claims mounted herein.

7. Defendants Reside in, and work in Norfolk County, Massachusetts.

8. The misconduct giving rise to this Action occurred in Norfolk

County, Massachusetts.

FACTS

9. This is a simple matter but the corrupt City of Quincy is making it

very complicated.

10. The City have refused James Berlo a build permit for the past three

(3) years on his home, which is located on a shoreline with beautiful

views.

11. Defendant LaForest failed to send Mr. Berlo an email from FEMA

Director Jeb Killion to her, that explained that Mr. Berlo does not

have to have insurance because he owns his own home outright

and he is not in a velocity zone. Appendix B.

12. Margaret LaForest knows as much and she told the general

populous that much in a letter dated but yet she told Plaintiff a

different story as once can see in movies #1 and #2 in para 18 and

at Appendix B.

13. Further, they have refused to provide Plaintiff any updates to his

Public Records Request when all he wanted was updates from 1

September, 2015 to 20 October, 2015.

14. Plaintiff has substantial permitting and zoning experience in Texas,

Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia and New England as a communications

attorney who also worked for major press prior to law school.

15. Nonetheless, Defendant Timmins instructed staff on our about 13

October, 2015

I advise each and all of you not to respond to this man. Not certain

where he is coming from, but let’s see…

I will advise each of you if I hear from him again.

James S. TimminsCITY SOLICITOR1305 HANCOCK STREETQUINCY MA 02169(617) 376-1511FAX [email protected]

16. Which in turn predicated the following response from Plaintiff, who

has already been crystal clear as to “where he was coming from”

On Oct 14, 2015, at 03:13 PM, Christopher King <[email protected]> wrote:Dear Attorney Timmins:Let me get this straight:You are advising your clients not to fully respond to a publicrecords request?

You may wind up being sued as well for that.

You want to know where I am coming from, well I am coming

from a position that transparency and open government is

the only government. That would be something not

practiced by certain of your clients, who withheld crucial

FEMA information from Mr. Burlo. And Mr. Fatseas

answering without due diligence. If you want to know where

I am coming from then listen up.

17. Since that time, on or about 19 October, 2015 Defendant Timmins

willfully violated the Statute, in an action that is at once clearly

ultra vires and arbitrary and capricious in nature, by demonstrating

his contempt for the Statute:1

“….Here is my response to your email, to the extent a response

is warranted:

The material you want from Jay Duca will cost a total of $55.60.

A check payable to the city of Quincy should be mailed or

delivered to Jay Duca, Quincy Building Department, 55 Sea

Street, Quincy MA 02169; and he will then produce the

requested copies.

1 For more proof of this assertion see further his attitude in condemning Mr. Berlo in Appendix C without ever even discussing the matter with him.

Page 6: JUDGE CITY OF QUINCY ) AND JAMES S. TIMMINS, Esq. 1305 ...docshare02.docshare.tips/files/28709/287097349.pdf · in the superior court norfolk county commonwealth of massachusetts

I will not be providing any “updates” on any matters…..”

(emphasis added in case the Court can’t smell how foul this is to start with,

see generally Worcester Telegram & Gazette Corp. v. Chief of Police of Worcester, 436 Mass. 378 (2002))

18. Timmins has conducted his own research on Mr. Berlo and

determined that he would just go away and that the “clatter” would

die down. He further took it upon himself to conduct his own

Google search of Mr. Berlo – without ever contacting Berlo to get his

side of the story mind you – and determined that Mr. Berlo was

properly found to have an illegal narcotic in his system while

opining that Mr. Berlo’s inquiry was “beyond the pale.” See

Appendix C.

Page 7: JUDGE CITY OF QUINCY ) AND JAMES S. TIMMINS, Esq. 1305 ...docshare02.docshare.tips/files/28709/287097349.pdf · in the superior court norfolk county commonwealth of massachusetts

19. In response to the allegations of Defendant Timmins, Mr. Berlo

claims that he did make a call regarding whether or not it was legal

for certain staff members to hold multiple positions in different

municipalities and he was told by an ethics administrator that it was

not. Further, he and Plaintiff have noted that even if it were actually

true that he was on an unauthorized narcotic when he sustained a

work-related injury, it would not have any bearing on his build

permit: He claims that he could not even obtain a dumpster at the

residence at the inception, which is ridiculous, and he claims further

that despite the allegations in Appendix C, he did in fact permit full

documentation excepting the elevation documentation because it

simply is not needed because he owns his property in full, and he is

not in a velocity zone and the proper evaluation is market value,

see para 20.

20. Timmons claimed to have been overseeing and advising the whole

permitting process, which would include the deliberate

miscalculation that Margaret LaForest and Jay Duca and others used

when calculating whether Mr. Berlo’s property was subject to FEMA

regulations. They used appraisal value when it is clearly MARKET

VALUE:

21. Lastly, as to the Public Records request that is allegedly complete,

Mr. Berlo, on behalf of Plaintiff, dropped off the money on or about

19 October, 2015 with Inspection Director Jay Duca but did not

receive an opportunity to actually retrieve the documents until 26

October, when Plaintiff was compelled to send yet another

threatening email seen at Appendix D.

I will not be providing any “updates” on any matters.Ms Powers sent to me, and I sent to you, documents attached to a September21 email, sent at 5:04 PM to you. I don’t know anything about the documents– we are merely producing what you asked for, and it is really up to you to sort through things.

I never directed anyone not to respond to a public records request. I told city officials who have been receiving emails from you for months not to respond any further, and indicated I will deal with you. I copied Berlo (who is the campo address) because you are asking about his permits. I have no idea what you are after or why – if you need something, ask for it, and we will send it along. If you want to file litigation, do so –

Several of the officials you indicate did not respond to you did in fact respond – you should check that, and I will as well. If anyone did not respond to the initial request I will ask them to do so. Please deal with Jay directly on the document request, as that will be most expeditious.

On Oct 19, 2015, at 08:07 AM, Christopher King <[email protected]> wrote:Dear Attorney Timmins:

Don't get salty with me: I can assure you, a response is warranted. We discussed this matter at length at this weekend's Tea Party Open GovernmentTraining Day, at which I presented on other matters.

http://mortgagemovies.blogspot.com/2015/10/kingcast-and-mortgage-movies-present-at.html

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zltbRvhfqZI(this video is processing and should be available by 11:30 EST today)

Further, litigation is indeed necessary now because you refuse to provide an update, and my request for such an update was clearly reasonable in light of the fact that your clients have, on prior occasion, refused to provide crucial information from FEMA to Mr. Berlo. It is also warranted because Mr. Berlo toldme he has recently sent emails to your clients so don't try to shirk your client's responsibilities under the Law.

So yes even if I give your prior email the best construction possible, your current admonition that you will not be providing any updates runs afoul of the Law. I'm 50-50 on my public information requests and I feel that percentage will increase in my favor with this litigation that you have now made necessary. So I am going to ask you one more time to have your clients provide updated responses to today's date of 19 October, 2015 beforeI submit this email chain as an exhibit in a Declaratory Judgment Action underthe Statute.

And if you are still confused about what it is I want, it is the complete chain ofcorrespondence related to Mr. Berlo's attempts to permit his property. I don't want litigation, I just want facts.

And if Mr. Berlo asks for an update to today's date you owe him one as well. In fact, he told me he is going to do just that. So you can't give him one and not give me one. I'm trying to help you out so you and your clients don't incurliability over this; you can thank me later.

So you check the responses to me and I will check the incoming emails to me so that the facts are absolutely clear in the Complaint. Perhaps Ms. Mahoney will be called as a witness as to her perception of this entire exchange. Impeach her at your own peril. As to what your clients will do with Jeb Killion and his email should Mr. Berlo's attorney sue your client, well I look forward to seeing that.

I told you before: I'm not here to mess around.

Very Truly Yours,CHRISTOPHER KING, J.D.

26 October 2015 email to Attorney Timmins et al.

Dear Attorney Timmins:

I see you are apparently standing your ground on not providing any of the sought materials since September 1, 2015. Suit yourself, pun fully intended.

I look forward to flying out there to run video when we have our first court hearing, as well as Mr. Berlo's litigation. Stay tuned for the lawsuit you'll have a copy of this in a day or two and then it will be filed.

Because as I told you before, I'm not here to, ummmm, play around. Just ask the Boston Herald after I found Joanna Marinova her Counsel. Herald. lawyers said they liked my blog. It's all in the video but below I've got it closed-captioned for the hearing impaired.

Also, it has been a week or so since Mr. Berlo tendered his monies for the firstPublic Information Request.

He still doesn't have anything from Jay Duca.

Ciao.
