"A delusional belief held only inside the mind of Birnbaum" - Judge Ron Chapman,  $125,770 unlawful Court FINE      how this INSANE FINE came to be

There was not even a  case left in the court - had not been for FOUR years - had NOT been the trial judge, therefore cannot sign ANY judgment or ANY sanction. PERIOD. Also PLUM UNLAWFUL unconditional punishment done by civil process.

Also patently ARBITRARY and EXCESSIVE.

In America?

Started (1994) with my neighbor (deceased) complaining about BEAVERS (deceased) - but suing me for violating the Texas Water Code. ALL FRAUD. (co-mingling BEAVER dams - with a dam I was supposed to have built)

 Van Zandt Courthouse Beaver Dam Scheme (YouTube) - good short intro

Got a unanimous verdict of exactly ZERO damages - but Judge James B. Zimmermann (deceased) nevertheless wanting to put $10,000 attorney fees against me. ALL FRAUD. The Court in Trump Mode    Emergency Motion for Relief from Twelve Giant Hogs  as signed PDF  Wacky Deposition - beavers 101 times   Transcript - ALL WEEK trial - search for "beavers" 160 times!  Petition to set aside

Next, a Dallas Lawyer, G. David Westfall (deceased) talks me into paying him an up-front $20,000 non-refundable pre-paid retainer - to file a federal civil racketeering suit ("civil RICO", "pattern of racketeering activity") against Judge Tommy Wallace (deceased), Judge James B. Zimmermann (deceased), etc. etc.

Things go really screwy in the Dallas Federal Court. Westfall tells me our judge, Judge Jerry Buchmeyer  "never saw our case" . I fire David Westfall.

SIX months later he concocts an additional $18,000 in "legal fees" - and sues me claiming an UNPAID OPEN ACCOUNT. No such account ever existed, was a pre-paid retainer "letter memorandum of understanding" - "to make time available" - "we retain the right to terminate ... .. for [your] non-payment"). The suit against me was ALL FRAUD.  retainer agreement  fraudulent suit

Next:  fraudulent jury instructions and questions    unlawful sanction of $62,885   unlawful sanction of $125,770   My sworn complaint    OFFICIAL NOTICE

"Oh what tangled webs we weave ... ... When first we practice to deceive"

a little bit about me

I was eight years old, in Germany, as a German, at the end of World War II, survived Hitler, came to the US as a thirteen year old hardly speaking any English - then in my dodage years comes this damn fraudulent BEAVER DAM MESS upon me!

My coming Book - a little bit about Germany, World War II, our little village, village life. Our school was one classroom - eight grades - all at the same time. One teacher who lived in the schoolhouse. One outside hand water pump. One two-holer outhouse - across the village dirt street. No text books, paper, or pencils - we scratched on slates! Few pictures.

But we missed ALL of the war. NOTHING was bombed, no one got hurt, NEVER went hungry. Lived off our garden and RABBITS. Never saw a soldier till the Americans came. Details My coming Book

Details - Judge Ron Chapman Unlawful Court Fine of $125,770  - additional FINE - for complaining - about the above $62,885. CRAZY

Details - Judge Paul Banner fraudulent jury instructions and questions

Earlier Complaint about Judge Paul Banner - to Van Zandt District Attorney Chris Martin    w Exhibits   

Much earlier Complaint about Judge Paul Banner - to then Van Zandt District Attorney Leslie Dixon in 2003     w Exhibits  (she let me present this to the Grand Jury - then argued against me all the time - "you need a lawyer", "this is a civil matter"). HELL NO - THIS IS A CRIME!

Notice of Securing Execution of Document by Deception - to the Van Zandt "powers that be"    signed w exhibits   (Penal 32.46, First deg. felony because of the huge sums)

Judge John Ovard - Get this Madman off My Back - My THIRD Motion for Recusal of Judge Ron Chapman - after he just got assigned to the stupid BEAVER dam case, and long AFTER he had put that stupid $125,770 FINE upon me - "to stop Birnbaum and others like him" - "from filing lawsuits" - a First Amendment Right.

PUBLIC NOTICE - Looks like I need to put myself into JAIL to be HEARD      signed and sworn   (Look up "mens rea" and "actus reus") 

Issue before the jury is going to be whether I was doing "criminal trespass", "loitering", "threats", etc - or whether there was INTIMIDATION and RETALIATION upon my report of a CRIME - at the very scene of the crime.

THE DIARY OF A MADMAN  ("there are in the world many undiscovered madmen as adroit and as much to be feared as this monstrous lunatic")

The entire court proceedings was fraud.  - perpetrated by Judge Paul Banner.  I was sued to collect on a supposed "unpaid Open Account" - when there was no such account AT ALL - with Judge Paul Banner aiding and abetting by giving fraudulent jury instructions and questions to the JURY. (Did not instruct the jury what "Open Account" was, did not ask them if such even EXISTED, i.e. if there existed  "systematic sale and delivery".  Details in the Appeals briefs and my criminal complaints.

MISSION STATEMENT

This website as a WARNING and TUTORIAL of just how outright EVIL, DEVIOUS, and CRIMINAL a COURT, JUDGES, and LAWYERS can get.

WHY I need to get them to ARREST me   (PDF)

Synopsis of Evil - The Emperor has no Clothes  (PDF)

They have been "noticed" in each other's presence:  (AUDIO)                        
 

With TWO such 17x11 signs, one in each hand over my head, I so presented myself into our courtroom. Here is the AUDIO(MP3) - very short but precise.  Was jury selection day - for 80 or so criminal cases.

 

Intro - START here

Van Zandt Courthouse Beaver Dam Scheme (YouTube)   same - hosted off this site.  How it all started - all fraud.   Good "first time" OVERVIEW.  Extra, my  Big East Texas Rat Snake unwinding (YouTube)

Happy April Fools Day - (same material as text)  Judge Ron Chapman puts Unlawful FINE of additional $125,770 upon me, for complaining about the Unlawful FINE of $62,885 that Judge Paul Banner had put upon me.

Judge John McCraw threatens me with SIX months in JAIL. (Audio full court transcript      Nice Man, avid dinosaur bone hunter - better informed about that. Likewise finds me a "nice person" - good TUTORIAL - told me to "next time, bring your toothbrush" Suit I had filed  Suit w attach  more  more  more  more

District Attorney investigator threatens me with JAIL (Audio) - He immediately shuffles me outside into the raw January cold - because "the walls have ears" - then threatened to "personally put the handcuffs" on me - if what I said was not true. Told me to "stay quiet". Not to show up at the DA again - HE would contact ME, - but did NOT. So again to the DA Office.  District Attorney investigator immediately shuffles me OUTSIDE again  (Audio) - "Mr. Birnbaum, what are you doing here?" - I hand him more paper. Tells me to "stay quiet" again. Then never hear from the SOB again. So I show up again at the DA Office again. - see next

Our District Attorney himself threatens me with JAIL -  for "criminal trespass"     my that morning go-by  (Audio)   my that afternoon follow up (Audio)   My criminal complaint about the District Attorney - to the District Attorney    w Attach  - that is when "the fit hit the shan".

 Regarding the DA's claim that I had not provided "sufficient evidence":  ("I do not believe you have articulated a criminal offense with sufficient evidence to merit an investigation or prosecution") - that is BULLSHIT.  My evidence    w Exhibits

Pre-Admittance at our JAIL? (Audio) - My inquiry about the "jail services" there. "We feed our inmates", "all you'll be able to bring - are your glasses" (Judge John McCraw had told me to bring my toothbrush)

Tyler FBI tells me to "just shoot them"  (Video)  - hard to believe - but true - coming.  Other suggestions: "just borrow the money" ($500,000 or so?) - to pay them off.  Else "bankruptcy", else "see if they will maybe settle for "$50, or so".  

Notice of Intent to Confront Court   I may need to put MYSELF in JAIL - if necessary - to establish my RIGHT - by JURY TRIAL - to thus petition my government for relief - by such as my appearance with  WHEELBARROW, PLASTIC CHAIR, GARBAGE CAN, TOILET PAPER, POTTED PLANT (with the roots UP) etc. and other items that cannot be mistaken as posing a physical threat

25 minutes "with" Judge Banner (Audiomy spoof  Assignment to Pass out Pumpkins  Why not?  Judge Banner had not, and was not going to go by the law. This hearing upon Application for a Writ of Scire Facias to Revive an Order    Orders do NOT go "dormant".  Something really stinks.

A court is FORBIDDEN to “sanction” upon the merit of a case – only upon conduct of a party – and Judge Paul Banner was caught (by the court reporter) finding me well-intentioned“In assessing the sanction, the court has taken into consideration, that although Mr. Birnbaum may have been well-intentioned, and may have believed that he had etc".  As caught by the court reporter - 'well-intentioned'     as by Judge Paul Banner - $62,885 - ALL VENOM     as by Judge Ron Chapman - $125,770 - ALL VENOM   Also see:  Happy April Fools Day

Details of the Extrinsic Fraud in the Texas 294th District Court of Van Zandt County - i.e. "fraud by the court" - as I appealed on up the line

Dallas Appeals Court

I detailed to the Texas Fifth Court of Appeals - exactly how the Texas 294th had truly gone rogue.

My further appeal was to the Texas Supreme Court and the US Supreme Court - with main emphasis on the $62,885 and $125,770 unlawful unconditional (not "coercive) sanctions - by civil process.

Regarding Judge Banner's "just made" Findings

Petition for Rehearing en Banc

Opinion of the Court - They found that the $62,885 Sanction DOES NOT MEET THE RULES - but affirmed it anyway!

The appeals court never addressed my complaint - that the $62,885 PUNISHMENT - for making a counter-claim when sued - is plum UNLAWFUL.

 Judgment

 Texas Supreme Court

I presented how the Texas 5th COA found that the $62,885 sanction did NOT comply with rules, yet affirmed such penalty ANYWAY!

I presented how the Texas 5th COA made no ruling WHATSOEVER on my issue that such unconditional PUNISHMENT was unconstitutional and UNLAWFUL.

 re the "printing" of my US Supreme Court Brief

The US Supreme Court, unlike everybody else, does NOT operate with 8 1/2 x 11 pieces of paper, but instead requires submission of FORTY (40) little BOOKLETS portrait style 6 x 9 1/4

Required precisely specified paper thickness, font, margins, cover thickness and color, even the type of "serif" of the font (the little "ticks" hanging on the letters).

 I myself researched the law - as I had been doing ever since the 1994 "BEAVER dam scheme" upon me, used WORD to format per Supreme Court specifications, "printed" to KINKO format via one of their "printer" programs installed to my computer, and took it all to Tyler to let KINCO do the actual printing and assembly of 50 booklets. 

 US Supreme Court

Since the Supreme Court takes ONLY cases that raise an "issue of law" - not "issues of fact" - I carried on up ONLY the issue of the $62,885 unlawful SANCTION

And in general the Court does not even take misapplication of the law - if the law is "clearly established" - and not "merely" just "misapplied".

Of course there should be NO "misapplication" coming before the US Supreme Court - certainly not such as PUNISHING for a "well-intentioned" exercise of the First Amendment Right to make a claim in a court of law - with this "stuff" - having been before 1) 294th for RECONSIDERATION, then 2) Dallas Court of Appeals, then 3) Texas Supreme Court!  Enough said.

So, the essence of my Petition before the US Supreme Court was that the PATTERN of all the courts below (of letting stand PUNISHMENT for filing "civil RICO" pleadings) - was in conflict with this court's urging victims to file such, as urged by Rotella vs. Wood - "rising to the level of an important issue of law"

"[a] Congressional objective [in enacting civil RICO with treble damages] of encouraging civil litigation not merely to compensate victims but also to turn them into private attorneys general, supplementing Government efforts by undertaking litigation in the public good". Rotella v. Wood et al., 528 U.S. 549 (2000)

And I got punished for doing as they themselves told me!

My Appeal to the US Supreme Court

"Oh, what tangled webs we weave - - when first we practice to deceive"

       

Before the fraudulent "BEAVER DAM" suit upon me, I was peacefully RETIRED on my farm, taking care of my cows and invalid 90 year old mother, and had only known the courthouse from getting LICENSE PLATES!   The "Beaver Dam Scheme" suit

Now I am accused of "living in the courthouse", "vengeance and anger towards the legal system", and sued for "libel", "libel and slander", etc., "with malice", and for causing a lawyer "to suffer from stress, anxiety, and loss of confidence", and loss of the "benefits of social intercourse", etc. ad nauseam.   Lawyer's suit for libel and slander     And $700,000 or so (with the 10% interest since 2002) in unlawful judgments and liens against me - (I surely don't have that kind of money!)

But the real EVIL - is Texas "senior visiting" Judge Paul Banner!  assessing a  $62,885 FINE on me for - upon me being sued - for making a "well - intentioned" (Judge Paul Banner, as caught by the court reporter!) counter-claim - a First Amendment Right!  criminal complaint - text only    criminal complaint - w exhibits    Hearing (AUDIO) "with" Judge Banner.  And for context and background,  Happy April Fools Day  -  would be funny - if it were not so EVIL.  And for more "depth" - Hearing (AUDIO) before Judge John McCraw re Judge Paul Banner. Listen for YOURSELF!  Judge Banner was present!  Good law in there on Due Process and First Amendment.   Related documents:  Oral Pleading in Writing    Assignment of Judge Banner    Assignment to Pass out Pumpkins   Suit to declare these judgments as NULL     Amended suit to declare these judgments as UNLAWFUL (damning)  w exhibits     Hey, FBI - time to pick them up

But the real QUESTION - upon Judge Paul Banner - why would Judge Paul Banner do this upon me? And keep on doing such upon me for TWELVE (12) YEARS? What does he have to gain? Whose bidding could he be doing? The "Westfall Bunch", to whom he shoveled all these FINES?  Judge Mary Murphy, Presiding Judge First Administrative Judicial Region, who keeps on assigning him? I would NOT think so.  So WHY?    WHY?    WHY?

Short ANSWER - "Oh Horror of Horrors" - a Pro Se whistle-blower - (me) countering with a civil RICO ("civil racketeering") claim - as encouraged by no less than the US Supreme Court in Rotella vs Wood ("private attorneys general") - and as permitted in State Court - per US Supreme Court Tafflin vs Levitt - bringing a counter-claim - in full legal conformance - upon a "pattern of racketeering activity" - claiming abuse of the 294th District Court - as the "enterprise" ("affecting interstate commerce") per definitions in the RICO statute - and entering such counter-claim - in the VERY 294th District Court - in which I was being fraudulently sued!   "Oh Horror of Horrors!"   Judge Paul Banner Admission (re RICO) - as caught by the court reporter!    for details and the law on civil RICO:  Petition for Writ of Certiorari to the Supreme Court of the United States  Also Hearing (AUDIO) before Judge John McCraw re Judge Paul Banner  Listen for YOURSELF!  Judge Banner was present!

Short ANSWER - "Oh Evil of Evils" - Judge Paul Banner, in furthering the Westfalls' unlawful scheme - as the OPPORTUNITY AND MEANS to execute HIS OWN unlawful scheme of Official Oppression - of course makes him a 100% ACCOMPLICE in THEIR scheme of SECURING EXECUTION OF DOCUMENTS BY DECEPTION - FIRST DEGREE FELONY Penal Code 32.46 because of the HUGE amounts involved - SEVEN YEARS statute of limitations - running anew upon Judge Paul Banner in 2014 re-executing the original crime - by "revival" of all HIS unlawful 2002 assessments - as had by 2014 gone "dormant" - Details in the criminal complaints, below. Hey, FBI - time to pick them up

WELCOME ABOARD - and WARNING - "Ladies and Gentlemen" - Whosoever, having been ON this "tar baby" - we are now on our SIXTH judge in cause 14-00266 (Judge Teresa Drum, Judge Randall McDonald, Judge Joe Leonard, Judge Richard Mays, Judge Joe Clayton, and now Judge Don Metcalfe). Plus TWO in the underlying 00-00619 fraudulent "Open Account" cause (Judge Paul Banner, Judge Ron Chapman). Plus TWO more in the under-underlying fraudulent 0095-0063 BEAVER DAM case (Judge Tommy Wallace, Judge James B. Zimmermann). Plus THREE more in all the other causes: (Judge Don Jarvis, Judge Andrew Kupper, Judge John McCraw).  Plus THREE First Administrative Judicial Region judges (Judge Pat McDowell, Judge John Ovard, Judge Mary Murphy). Plus TWO District Attorneys, and now ONE extra "attorney pro tem" (look up the term) - Plus WHATEVER other judges and other assorted kinds - all the way up to the Supreme Court of the United States - SHAME ON YOU!   Plus TWO all week jury trials. ALL OF YOU, having RECEIVED, or now having KNOWLEGE OF these criminal complaints, and in spite of your sworn duty to "preserve, protect, and defend etc" - NOT doing so - WELCOME ABOARD!    CEASE AND DESIST - text only    CEASE AND DESIST - w exhibits - (7.0MB)    Criminal Complaint to Van Zandt District Attorney - re Judge Paul Banner  - plain tutorial language - very early 2002 criminal complaint to then District Attorney Leslie Dixon. She actually let me present this to her GRAND JURY - then argued against me ALL THE TIME.

 

SHORT INTRO - How did this seemingly "simple" fraud - over a natural BEAVER DAM - in a natural creek - get so out of hand - to $700,000 or so in judgments and liens - NO UNDERYLING DAMAGES - of any kind - all fraudulent "attorney fees" - and attorney fees for suing for "attorney fees"?  The [$85,000] "judgments" and [$62,885 + $125,770] "sanctions" - on their faces in violation of the First Amendment and due process - and NOBODY in law enforcement will do anything about it - see below. Been going on upon me for TWENTY (20) YEARS. That is how this site came to be - because NOBODY in law enforcement will do anything about it.  So, enough is enough - and here I AM!  For a fast-paced general intro, read  Happy April Fools Day .   For those seeking a more "legalese" format, read Petition for Writ of Certiorari to the Supreme Court of the United States, and for details, the TWO (2) layers of appeal courts documents (Texas 5th COA in Dallas, Texas Supreme Court) in between - see below.    "The Emperor has no Clothes!  CEASE AND DESIST - text only    CEASE AND DESIST - w exhibits - (7.0MB)

SHORT ANSWER - I have thought about this quite a bit - over the last 20 years. It has to be, that either  1) THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS CORRUPT AND OUTRIGHT CRIMINAL  -  or 2) SOME OF THESE GUYS ARE JUST PLUM NUTTY - -  and plum evil underneath, but it does not normally show - with TWO lawyers in there to sort of keep the "queen bee" (the judge) from doing anything too idiotic. My experience is mainly with these senior "visiting judges" types -- that it is some sort of "occupational disease" - - like from sitting on high perches -- and having lost touch with reality from watching "the lawyer show" for too long -- else some kind of "stupid virus" that they catch between each other. Their conduct becomes "problematic" with ONE lawyer missing - - and plum idiotic when there is NONE.   Official Oppression and Abuse of Official Capacity -  by Judge Joe M Leonard   w exhibits . Likewise with the idiotic hearing before Judge Ron Chapman - to recuse Judge Paul Banner (remove him from the case) - there was NOT EVEN A CASE left in the court!    Happy April Fools Day.

SHORT INTRO - via AUDIO - step right into the fire with me - REAL COURT HEARINGS - real "doozies", but good constitutional law in here:  Hearing "with" Judge Paul Banner - evil beyond belief - me lecturing him about his unlawful "assignment" for this hearing, comparing it to my spoof Assignment to Pass out Pumpkins from his "perch".  Hearing before Judge John McCraw - re Judge Paul Banner -  hearing was about this suit, Judge John McCraw told me to "bring your toothbrush" (for SIX months in jail) - if he ever saw me again!   On the lighter side:  Pre-Admittance at our JAIL?  "we feed our inmates"  "all you'll be able to bring - are your GLASSES" (no "toothbrush" - I suppose?) 

SHORT INTRO - via the criminal complaints - These sworn "packages" - each with sworn evidence - can serve as a sort of "executive summary" over this whole sorry mess - evincing the very fraud from the start via a suit claiming an "open account" - for "legal fees" (there just ain't no such animal) - and Judge Paul Banner "aiding and abetting" all along - including unconscionable questions and instructions to the jury - and unlawful "sanctions" of $62,885 for having made a "well-intentioned" (judge Banner's phrase) counter-claim (a First Amendment Right at that). [1]  Securing Execution of Document by Deception - re 1st judgment   w exhibits   [2] Securing Execution of Document by Deception - re 2nd judgment   w exhibits  [3] Securing Execution of Document by Deception - re 3rd judgment   w exhibits   [4]  Official Oppression and Abuse of Official Capacity - by Judge Paul Banner   w exhibits   [5]  Official Oppression - by District Attorney Chris Martin   w exhibits  [6]  Official Oppression and Abuse of Official Capacity -  by Judge Joe M Leonard   w exhibits  [7]  Earlier Complaint - re Judge Paul Banner - text only   Earlier Complaint - re Judge Paul Banner - w exhibits   Ready "assortment" for the DA to take to the grand jury - except for one little problem - ONE of the complaints - is upon the DA - no. 5 above. Also, more below.

NEW - not as sworn criminal complaint - but as OFFICIAL NOTICE to the "court majors"  - the real EVIL - the DRIVING FORCE - is JUDGE PAUL BANNER - wanting to PUNISH me for having made a counter-claim when I was sued - (he said so - and DID so).  A court by CIVIL process CANNOT PUNISH for something in the PAST! - PERIOD. Much less so for exercising a First Amendment Right! - yet he did it anyway! (Note: civil process pseudo "punishment" is strictly to coerce one - into doing - or not doing something. "keys to own release")    OFFICIAL NOTICE - as sent  OFFICIAL NOTICE - no attach   OFFICIAL NOTICE - w attach .    Also, here again, earlier  CEASE AND DESIST - text only    CEASE AND DESIST - w exhibits - (7.0MB)   Also, here again, 2002 much earlier   Criminal Complaint to Van Zandt District Attorney - about Judge Paul Banner       FOLKS - I do not want to have to take a TWO BY FOUR across your heads - BUT THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!    Hey, FBI, where are you? Time to come and pick them up.

MAJOR SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS  - With all this briefing - these guys KNOW - but ... ...    Criminal Complaint to Van Zandt District Attorney - re Judge Paul Banner (in 2002, VERY specific - that time Van Zandt DA Leslie Dixon actually let me present this to her Grand Jury - and then ARGUED against me the whole time - ("this is a civil matter - you need to go to a lawyer, etc")    in the Texas Dallas Fifth Court of Appeals:     Brief for Appellant      Appellees' Brief      Appellant's Reply Brief       Motion for Trial Judge to Produce Findings        To Judge Banner - what the hell is going on?        Objections to Just Made Findings       Motion for Oral Argument        Petition for Rehearing En Banc         in the Texas Supreme Court:   Petition for Review        Appendix to Petition for Review       in the US SUPREME COURT:   Petition for Writ of Certiorari (PDF, very specific)

 Some of the Latest:    Hearing before Judge Joe M. Leonard - he screws up real bad - gets himself  bounced off the case - immediately - upon my my criminal complaint  upon him.  Judge Richard Mays assigned - I have declared "ready for trial" - to show to a jury - for a "finding", that these pieces of paper ("judgments") - do IN FACT - violate the law!  "The right of trial by jury shall remain inviolate". Texas Constitution, Article 1 Section 15. Texas Right to trial by jury in ALL cases is unique! Texas makes NO distinction regarding suits in "common law" and in "equity". Detail later.  Too late for press:   Judge Richard Mays off. Judge Joe Clayton off. We now have Judge Don Metcalf. In the 294th District Court to start -  then to the County Court at Law - and now back into the 294th again. County "out of money" for "visiting judges". (In the District Court - the State picks up the tab) This whole mess has cost the STATE and County a BUNDLE - for me, mainly TIME - but I learned a lot - and certainly encountered some really strange "specimen". Curious issue is why Judge Mary Murphy "transferred" this "tar baby" case into the Court at Law in the first place - it is "highly customary" - to send a "visiting judge" - INTO THE COURT - that requested "assignment" in the FIRST PLACE!

EVEN THE DA - our very own Van Zandt District Attorney - aiding and abetting the evil in the COURT)  DA setting me up for criminal trespass by maligning me to law enforcement   I counter with SWORN COMPLAINT of Official Oppression  as notarized   BACKGROUND:  From DA - "yes, we prosecute official oppression"    To DA - Complaint of Official Oppression    To DA - Complaint of securing execution of documents by deception    From DA - sorry response one gets    To DA - "please explain re why not a crime"    To DA - "please explain re statute of limitations"      SWORN COMPLAINT - Securing execution of documents by deception re THIRD judgment  w exhibits     SWORN COMPLAINT - Securing execution of documents by deception re FIRST judgment    w exhibits       To DA - email "DO THE RIGHT THING MR. DA"    re my 8-6-2015 stopping by at the DA      From DA - our DA is setting me up for criminal trespass  To DA - my inquiry as to all his "COPY TO"   SWORN COMPLAINT of Official Oppression  as notarized  SO ASK YOURSELF (or your DA) - "WHY such hard come-down - for me just petitioning my government (the DA). ("DO THE RIGHT THING MR. DA"). The underlying "ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM" was of course - Official Oppression and "inconsistent with due process" in the 294th District Court - BY JUDGE PAUL BANNER - and now the DA "blowing smoke" all around - to put out the fire I was trying to light under him.

THE ROOT OF THE EVIL - our very own 294th District Court of Van Zandt County - and all the way up the line - to the very NINE robes at the very top (supporting documents, below).   Complaint of Official Oppression     Complaint of Securing Execution of Documents by Deception   Response from Van Zandt District Attorney (they swept it under the rug!)     Motion for Recusal of Judge Paul Banner     Petition to Set Aside Order Reviving Judgment     Petition to Set Aside Judgments    What this is all about -- RETALIATION by "Abuse of Official Capacity" - to make an example of a Pro Se DEFENDANT - who vigorously was NOT ENTIRELY STUPID -- "to stop Birnbaum and others like him" -- "a delusional belief held only inside the mind of Birnbaum"    FIRST JUDGMENT:  Fraudulent Court's Charge to the Jury      SECOND JUDGMENT:  Unlawful Sanction of $62,885  THIRD JUDGMENT:  Unlawful Sanction of $125,770    JUST READ THIS STUFF. A window into their minds!  Did they just get caught this time - because I had no lawyer and "not entirely stupid"?  Or do this stuff all the time?   First Interrogatories to Judge Paul Banner    First Interrogatories to Judge Ron Chapman    Civil RICO suit against Judge Paul Banner    BEAVER DAM Madness:  Petition to Set Aside Judgment of Injunction     Judge John Ovard - Get this Madman off My Back     NEW:  Corruption of the judicial machinery itself:  Original Petition for Injunctive Relief    Get these damn courthouse criminals off my back!   CEASE AND DESIST (7.0MB w exhibits)  as Text Only      Enough is Enough:  Oral Pleading in Writing        Oral Pleading in Oral - (AUDIO)     Assignment of Judge Banner  Assignment to Pass out Pumpkins    THE DIARY OF A MADMAN    Hey, FBI - time to pick them up:  Suit to declare these judgments as NULL (a damning concise summary)  

IN THE COURT AT LAW - How did this matter wind up in the inferior Van Zandt County Court at Law - to "rule" on the lawfulness of what its superior sister, the 294th District Court of Van Zandt County, had done?  I had tried, in the 294th, in the old No. 00-619 Westfall case, Petition to set aside Judgments and Petition to set aside Order Reviving Judgment (the judgments had gone "dormant?" after TEN years?) - with NO response by the Court - except same "visiting" judge Paul Banner - who was the object of the all the "unlawfulls" in the first place - denying "Motion to Reconsider" - where there was of course no such motion at all - and no authority whatsoever to even "reconsider" -- that old 2002 stuff having gone "final" in 2002 - in 2014!  (legalese: "plenary power had expired") So, out of pure desperation, I finally entered, in the 294th, new suite No. 14-00266 as Original Petition for injunctive relief - against the "Westfall Bunch" - to forbid them from using these unlawful frapping "pieces of paper" - i.e. these "judgments". Then amended the suit to First Amended Original Petition to Declare three judgments as inconsistent with due process, unlawful, criminal, and void    w exhibits  -  (the mere title says it all!) - taking the "Westfall Bunch" out of the case - without ever having served suit on the Westfalls, i.e. NO DEFENDANTS in this cause at all. (except the "three pieces of paper?) This had a MAJOR impact - although I had not thought it out that way - turning common "litigation" - into extraordinary "petitioning" of government" - for "redress from grievances" (First Amendment).  Even the judges did not see this one coming - i.e. (3rd) judge Joe Leonard - and my  criminal complaint upon Judge Joe Leonard - upon his unlawful  "vexatious litigant" PREFILING ORDER (last page of the complaint).

continued - Then filed (still in 14-00266 in the 294th) Notice of Concurrent Criminal Complaint   w exhibits. That is when the "fit hit the shan" - i.e. the immediate Order of Voluntary Recusal - by (1st) judge Teresa Drum - followed by the immediate Order Transferring of the cause into the inferior Court at Law (to rule on the lawfulness of what its superior sister court had done?) - by First Administrative Judicial Region Presiding Judge Mary Murphy (she does NOT have authority to "transfer" cases, only to "assign" judges - of course into the SAME court where the judge had "recused" off the case) - followed by the immediate Order of Voluntary Recusal - by Court at Law (2nd) judge Randall McDonald - and the Order of Assignment by the Presiding Judge - of "visiting" (3rd) judge Joe M. Leonard - followed by my "how the cow eats the cabbage" Synopsis upon Transfer and Plea to the Jurisdiction and Sanity (the name says it all) - as to this crazy transfer into this Court at Law - also clearly outside the $200,000 jurisdictional limit of the Court at Law - and certainly NOT with the required "agreement" of Court at Law Judge Randall McDonald - as required for a TRANSFER, followed by, upon my strong pushing, of Notice of Court Setting - followed by all kinds of fur flying:  badmouthing by the non-defendant Westfalls! (they showed up for the "hearing"!)

 short "out" -  very important "aside" to the "fit hit the shan". Lawyers are FORBIDDEN to raise a criminal issue in "litigation" - it is deemed "raising a criminal issue to gain an advantage in litigation" - or something like that - and they can loose their license. Such rules of course do NOT apply to a self-representing Pro Se, where the issue, the ONLY issue - is "unlawful" - and no opposing party at that. That is why the "fit hit the shan" - upon my criminal complaint - and everybody, instead of doing their duty - per their oath of office - and let the petitioner of government - me - petition his government (the judge) for redress of grievances under the First Amendment - ALL SCATTERED like a bunch of cats! And ever after. That is why we have our SIXTH judge! (Plus TWO more "voluntary" recusals by then judge Tommy Wallace and judge James B. Zimmerman in the way down underlying BEAVER DAM mess!  SORRY STATE OF AFFAIRS.  SHAME.

 continued - "The Rest of the Story" is best told by my  sworn criminal complaint  (read it - very informative) upon what (3rd) judge Joe M. Leonard had "put" upon me at his "hearing" - i.e. declaring me, without due process - as a vexatious litigant - and ordering the clerks of BOTH courts to inform the State of Texas - to "post" my name on the web - ALL punishment upon me for petitioning my government (Judge Leonard) - under my First Amendment Right - for redress from what my government (the 294th) had done to me - (it was not "litigation" - there was no "opposing party").  And again, Judge Joe M. Leonard ruled upon NOTHING in the case - except for his unlawful "vexatious litigant" Prefiling Order. Truly amazing! SHAME.

continued - next comes tortured assignment of (4th) judge Richard Mays - who sets aside the Judge Joe Leonard unlawful Prefiling Order with Order Vacating and Setting Aside Prefiling Order. Only problem - Judge Joe Leonard had additionally issued Amended Prefiling Order, so Judge Richard Mays had to additionally set aside that unlawful order with tortuous worded Amended Order Vacating and Setting Aside Prefiling Order and Amended Prefiling Order - clearly stating what I had stated in my  Criminal Complaint upon Judge Joe Leonard  - that it was plum unlawful what Judge Joe Leonard had done upon me - upon petitioning my government - i.e. official oppression. And, without addressing any of the UNLAWFULLS in my petitioning before the court - Judge Richard Mays disappears.  Regarding Judge Mary Murphy's  ridiculous  "appointment" of Judge Richard Mays - to be the "local administrative judge" - of Van Zandt County - but for me and me ONLY - such is of course plum ridiculous.  Judge Murphy cannot "appoint" at all - that can only be done by an executive officer - like the governor - with confirmation by the Senate!  SHAME.

continued    Next - Assignment of Judge Joe Clayton, followed immediately,  upon my suggestion, by Voluntary recusal of Judge Joe Clayton. Next, our SIXTH (6) judge - Assignment of Judge Don Metcalf.

 SHORT "TAKE" ON "VEXATIOUS LITIGANT" - google on "texas vexatious litigant list" - or something like that. The Oct. 14, 2015 official Texas web site list me as the NEWEST on the list, the FIRST EVER from Van Zandt County - since they started keeping records - in 1998!   See my Official Oppression and Abuse of Official Capacity -  Judge Joe M Leonard  w exhibits

 

START - CONSTRUCTION ZONE --the BEAVERS are down below

 SHORT "TAKE" ON STATUS - in the Van Zandt County Court at Law.   Before the Court, indicative of the "flavor" of this cause, the following: [1]  First Amended Original Petition to Declare Three Judgments as inconsistent with due process, unlawful, criminal, and void   w exhibits   [2]   Notice of Concurrent Criminal Complaint upon this Matter  w exhibits  [3]            Synopsis upon Transfer  w exhibits  – the absurd unlawful “transfer” of this cause, and  [4] Plea to the Jurisdiction and Sanity.   Setting for Oct. 8, 2015 before Judge Joe M. Leonard was for Plea to the Jurisdiction and Sanity.   Instead of addressing what was on the agenda, Plea to the Jurisdiction and Sanity -  that this case does not belong in this court - and taking a cue from "The Westfalls" - who were not even a party - and "lights in" upon me - just like Judge Paul Banner had done for "The Westfalls" in the 294th no. 00-619 - which matter I was complaining of in THIS cause! And just like Judge Paul Banner - he puts an unlawful unconditional (no "keys to own release") contempt on me - by civil process - "turning me in" as one of those awful "vexatious litigants" to the State web site.

 continued- And I was not even "litigating" (i.e. two adverse parties) - It was just me, Pro Se, petitioning my government (Judge Joe Leonard) per my First Amendment Right, for relief from what my government (Judge Paul Banner, the 294th) had done to me. Judge Joe Leonard does not "rule" on what what was before the court for today - or ANYTHING else before the court - just out of the clear blue sky unlawfully and wrongly declares me a "vexatious litigant" with his all-screwed-up Prefiling Order (details later), orders the clerks of BOTH courts (294th, Court at Law) to turn me in to the State to post onto the web - I am the FIRST and ONLY "vexatious litigant" from Van Zandt County - since they started this mess in 1998! Go google on something like "texas vexatious litigant list" - even has the all screwed up Prefiling Order.  (more to this mess down later - the court had to "eat crow" - not once - but TWICE!

 continued - I type up Criminal Complaint of Official Oppression upon Judge Joe Leonard - text only    w exhibits, e-mail it to First Administrative Judicial Region Mary Murphy - who had assigned Judge Leonard in the first place - and presto third (3rd) judge Joe Leonard immediately gets himself bounced off this case by Judge Mary Murphy's Order - and we next have our (4th) judge  - Judge Richard Mays - assigned not only to "try" the case - but appointed as the "local administrative judge" - for my case ONLY - and ONLY for the purpose of providing me with a "local administrative judge" - to rule on such other litigation as I might want to file in the 294th or the Court at Law - BOTH of the Van Zandt County local administrative judges, i.e. 294th Judge Teresa Drum, and Court at Law Judge Randal McDonald having previously "voluntarily" recused themselves off this "tar baby" case! Talk about idiotic! (Note: The Judge Joe Leonard stupid Prefiling Order required me to present any new filing to the "local administrative judge" - BUT THERE WAS NONE! 

 Next shows up Judge Leonard's hurried Voluntary Order of Recusal (THIRD "voluntary" in this cause) - and his still-all-screwed-up Amended Prefiling Order.  Judge Richard Mays now assigned - not only to "try" the case, but to be the "local administrative judge" for the 294th District Court and the Court at Law - but ONLY for matters regarding me, Udo Birnbaum, to provide me a place to get "permission" to file in the court - per the screwy Judge Joe M. Leonard Prefiling Order - BOTH of the "local administrative judges" having "voluntarily recused themselves. Even my Plea to the Jurisdiction and Sanity - did not cover such insanity!  Too late for press - Judge Richard Mays OFF - yet another (No. 5) - Judge Joe Clayton www.judgeclayton.com/home.php   (Judges Drum, McDonald, Leonard, Mays, now Clayton!)

 continued -  I have declared "ready for trial" - to show to a jury - for a "finding", that these pieces of paper ("judgments") - do IN FACT - violate the law! As for the Texas Right for trial by jury: "The right of trial by jury shall remain inviolate, The legislature shall pass such laws as may be needed to regulate the same, and to maintain its purity and efficiency". Texas Constitution, Article 1 Section 15. Texas Right to trial by jury in ALL cases is unique! Texas makes NO distinction regarding suits in "common law" and in "equity". I am not a lawyer - but as I read the law, suits at "common law" are the likes of where one sues another, for the likes of negligence - for damages, an injunction, and the likes. Suits at "equity" is where one "sues" - or rather "petitions" - to correct some "wrong". Historically there were courts for common law, and separate courts of equity. Delaware is the only state that still has separate courts. But the distinction between the "type" of case is still carried into the right to trial by jury - except in Texas! As for "such laws as may be needed to regulate" - that is the rules of civil procedure - like "summary judgment" and the like - which does NOT apply to this "case" - there is no party on the other side - to bring such motions. But no telling what Judge Richard Mays "may" or "may-not" do. Nobody else has abided by the law! Anyhow, I have declared "ready for trial" - by a jury!

 SHORT FLASHBACK - to the "beaver dam scheme"- That was in the 1994 - 1998 - 2006 time frame - in our very own 294th District Court of Van Zandt, in 1998 under District Judge Tommy C. Wallace - long before District Judge Teresa Drum in 2003, the all-week trial under "visiting judge" James B. Zimmermann, but already same PATTERN as in the current mess (fraudulent jury questions). BOTH of those TWO - also "voluntarily" recused themselves.  Judge Ron Chapman last judge - see Happy April Fools Day - gets assigned to the then TEN (10) YEAR OLD or so - BEAVER DAM CASE - SIX (6) YEARS or so after trial!  Details - a few paragraphs down.

 

 BACKGROUND - starting with the beavers - Adjacent landowner, retired military (William B. Jones, deceased), in 1994 unbeknownst to me, on Steve's Creek at a remote corner of my farm, on his land declares war on BEAVERS - with DYNAMITE - blowing a 15 foot gap in their dam - and flushing FOUR (4) feet of water, sand, and whatever else from BULLDOZING the whole area - down upon my property. Then about a year later, fearing the enemy would come back, wants permission to also "treat" Steve's Creek on my property for the "overgrown rats". Permission denied. No beavers or dams left. Problem is in his head.

continued - Goes to Canton attorney Richard L. Ray, who sues me for "unlawfully and wrongly" violating Section 11.086 of the Texas Water Code - for ME in 1994 having built a dam - "extending etc" - a perfect description of a BEAVER DAM! All week jury trial on that in 1998, a jury verdict of ZERO damages - and "visiting senior" Judge James B. Zimmerman and attorney Richard L. Ray wanting to impose a "permanent mandatory injunction" - and $10,000 in attorney fees against me. I complain LOUDLY in the court.

continued - BEHEADED CALVES - without any traces of blood - show up at my farm - makes a full-page COLOR spread in the Athens paper. Devil worship? Catches the attention of big-time Dallas lawyer G. David Westfall (deceased, run over by his own tractor) --- who was being prosecuted for animal cruelty for starving 60 animals - gets one of his lady clients working off her legal fees stuck a Westfall Family Farms - to solicit me into getting G. David Westfall to "save" me from that "pocket of corruption" aka the 294th District Court of Van Zandt County.

continued - I retain G. David Westfall - $20,000 non-refundable prepaid (oh, what a trusting fool I was!) - who  by    tosurrepteous eptiously avil - being the one           my properyacross my property. declares warnear a remote corner of my property on Steve's Creek to the "beaver dam scheme"- That was in the 1994 - 1998 - 2006 time frame - in our very own 294th District Court of Van Zandt, in 1998 under District Judge Tommy C. Wallace - long before District Judge Teresa Drum in 2003, the all-week trial under

 

HIGHLIGHTS IN THE 294th- INCOMPLETE

 SUGGESTED INDICTMENTS   -  Hey, FBI, where are you? It is past time to come and pick them up.  I have been complaining - ever since 1995 - and all I get is "dear john" stuff like this - and "advice" from the Tyler FBI - that I cannot - and they will not - do anything about it - and upon my visit to the Tyler FBI, the agent actually suggested to "JUST SHOOT THEM". (I have proof - I am not making this up)  So here are some detailed prepared "indictments" (as a civilized alternative to "just shoot them") - provided in proper "legalese" with marked up evidence - THREE DISTINCT INDICTMENTS, THREE DISTINCT DATES, THREE DISTINCT "PRINCIPALS" - all Texas Penal Code Sec. 32.46 of Second Degree Felony (above $100,000.00) - for "SECURING EXECUTION OF DOCUMENT BY DECEPTION" - ready to pass by the Grand Jury:    Indictment for securing execution re FIRST "judgment"      Indictment for securing execution re SECOND "judgment"      Indictment for securing execution re THIRD "judgment"  For reference, Texas Penal Code Sec. 32.46   When you knowingly do "secure execution" on what you know is your own 2002 lingering fraud - that is a fresh property crime in 2014 - and well within the 7-year statute of limitations - for a crime that strikes at the very heart of the integrity of the documentary processPLUS NOW THREE MORE

VIDEO COLLECTION - "just shoot them" - coming

END - CONSTRUCTION ZONE

Before the fraudulent "BEAVER DAM" suit upon me, I was peacefully RETIRED on my farm, taking care of my cows and invalid 90 year old mother, and had only known the courthouse from getting LICENSE PLATES!   The "Beaver Dam Scheme" suit

Now I am accused of "living in the courthouse", "vengeance and anger towards the legal system", and sued for "libel", "libel and slander", etc., "with malice", and for causing a lawyer "to suffer from stress, anxiety, and loss of confidence", and loss of the "benefits of social intercourse", etc. ad nauseam.   Lawyer's suit for libel and slander     And $700,000 or so (with the 10% interest since 2002) in unlawful judgments and liens against me - (I surely don't have that kind of money!)

The Beaver Dam Scheme (as Q/A)

Your neighbor wanted to use DYNAMITE on YOUR farm?
Yes, wanted permission to blow up beaver dams on our creek.

Why did you not give him permission?
There was no problem, except in his head.

So he sued you?
Yes, over beavers.

How can he sue you over wild beavers?
He can’t, so his lawyer sued for violating the Texas Water Code.

How can beavers violate the Texas Water Code?
They can’t, and that is where the fraud started -- or continued.

What do mean by fraud?
Beavers build a dam, and I get sued for violating the Texas Water Code.

So why did you not complain to the judge?
I did.

So why has this case been going on now for fourteen years?
Because of shyster lawyers and judges, and me screaming fraud, and them trying to cover up all of the previous fraud.. 

Why do you use as strong a word as shyster and fraud?
Any lesser word would be an untruth.  

So, what is this case really about?
Shyster lawyers and crooked judges, them trying to make an example of "Birnbaum and others like him", as the idiots actually put down on paper, and me not putting up with it. Enough is enough!

How about in terms not quite so broad?

to be continued

Those Horrendous Fines (as Q/A)

What started all these horrendous FINES?
I was sued for an unpaid "open account" for "legal fees"

Isn't "open account" like a lumber yard supplying a builder?
Yes, it is "systematic" arrangement for "sale and delivery".

Was your arrangement with your lawyer like that?
Of course not. I paid him a "non-refundable" $20,000 up front.

Then how can he sue you under "open account"?
That is the fraud. Earlier fraud was in the crook soliciting me.

What do you mean by soliciting you?
Dallas attorney G. David Westfall got one of his lady clients, who he had conned to work off her "legal fees" at "Westfall Family Farms", to tell me these bastards in Van Zandt County really needed to be sued over all that BEAVER stuff, that attorney G. David Westfall was honest and different, and that I had a "very good case".

Did you know David Westfall was soliciting you?
No, of course not. I also did not know that a lawyer is strictly prohibited from soliciting on a "particular matter". Like suing someone, then pushing your buddy lawyer on him, and torpedoing him.

What about that strange JUDGMENT by the Dallas Court?
That was after about half a year in the Dallas Federal Court, when Magistrate Paul Stickney and Judge Henry Buchmeyer signed a JUDGMENT in the case ORDERING the amendment of pleadings!

You said you fired David Westfall, your attorney, upon that?
Yes, David Westfall said Judge Henry Buchmeyer never saw our case, and when Westfall would not do anything about it, I fired him.

Games in the Court (as Q/A)

With all this smoke, what is at the bottom of this?
No, at the TOP.

Did not all this stuff start over BEAVERS?
No. Goes on all the time. BEAVERS just made it all blow up.

Explain?
Like Judge Zimmermann told the BEAVER jury, to make a case, "you take a piece of paper, put it in a typewriter, write anything on it, give it to that lady over there, the clerk, she stamps it, and you got a pleading". Problem is that is what they do all the time, and get by with it, because there is a lawyer on the OTHER side, and they can "undo" and hide anything, with no one the wiser.

What does that have to do with BEAVERS?
Real problem was that I had no lawyer. Screws up their play-pen. - incomplete

WEB ARCHIVE - AT TIME I WAS SUED FOR SLANDER AND LIBEL - by the "Beaver Dam Scheme lawyer

NOTE: The below kept as "as was", as was at the time I was sued for "Slander and Libel", "Libel", and "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress", and

 "caused the Counterclaimant to suffer from stress, anxiety, and loss of confidence", and

 "deprived Counterclaimant of the benefits of public confidence and social intercourse."

Lawyer attached copy of this web site, as below, as EXHIBIT "A" to his counter-claim  PDF

As an attorney "public citizen", and under the US Supreme Court's Times vs. Sullivan, he has to prove "actual malice", i.e. that at such time as I may have referred to him in the context of "shyster lawyer", that at that time I did not indeed believe that he was such. GOOD LUCK!

"Oh what tangled webs we weave - - when first we practice to deceive"

Besides - "shyster" is an OPINION (First Amendment) - not a statement of FACT.

"Let US learn more about our American rights under the law, rather than just do LAWYER bashing.
But let US never fall back to our OLD ways of letting a small "good-old-boy" pack of Canton lawyers take advantage of our COURTHOUSE ILLITERACY to talk us into crowning (electing) one of THEM to be THEIR  private judge against US!
See Notice as above.

Latest goings-on:
 On Oct. 24, 2006 retired Judge Ron Chapman actually signs his idiotic $125,770 FINE he sat on ever since April 1, 2004 -- 
   $125,770 Order    Happy April Fools Day -- how it all came about
The case had been DEAD ever since FINAL JUDGMENT on July 30, 2002 !
It was DEAD when Chapman sat on it in April 1, 2004.   Just as DEAD now in 2006!
Also it is a PUNITIVE sanction by CIVIL process ---  that violates "due process"
It is also indictment, medical diagnosis, and punishment -- all rolled into ONE!
            "to stop this litigant and others similarly situated"
            "a delusional belief held only inside the mind of Birnbaum"
The Constitution of course allows "delusional belief", but NOT from the BENCH!
The $125,770 fine             -- key phrases bold emphasized
April 1 2004 docket entry --
occupational hazard from too much looking down from high perches?
"Happy April Fools Day" --
it all started when I was sued because BEAVERS had built a dam on my farm!
RICO suit for $377,310     -- treble damages - for injury by a "scheme to deprive of honest services"
                                                                                                        
                                             The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has
                                             never tried to contact us.

I get FINED $125,770 for wanting a different judge!   more 
    
     Retired judge Ron Chapman came on April 1, 2004 to hear whether retired judge Paul Banner should be removed from the case.  Chapman's April 1 2004 docket entry    
Happy April Fools Day -- A REAL HOOT!
    
    
Then, after more that TWO years, on Oct. 24, 2006 judge Chapman actually signs his idiotic $125,770 FINE, finding that I was guilty of  "attempt to harass, intimidate, and inconvenience",      "delusional belief held only inside the mind of Birnbaum", "bickering and quarreling with judges", "has been vindictive, unwarrented, mean-spirited, frivolous, and totally without substantiation", and that Birnbaum's "conduct … … was engaged in willfully and maliciously with the intent to harm", and that the fine is "an amount narrowly tailored to the amount of harm caused by the offensive conduct to be punished", and "to stop this litigant and others similarly situated"    Chapman's 8 page Order on Motion for Sanctions -- A REAL HOOT!

    "I'm not a lawyer, but this whole thing sounds more like a criminal indictment, medical diagnosis, and sentencing -- all rolled into one". 

    "If I had been guilty of all this stuff, why didn't the judge have the bailiff arrest me right there on the spot?"

    "It ALL started when I was sued because BEAVERS had built a dam on my farm!"

    "And when I did not NOT hire a lawyer, that upset the whole system, and everybody went MAD".

The case had of course been DEAD ever since FINAL JUDGMENT on July 30, 2002
It was DEAD when Chapman sat on it in April 1, 2004.   Just as DEAD now in 2006!
Also it is a PUNITIVE sanction by CIVIL process ---  that violates "due process"

My response to the whole thing -- sue the judges for the damages they did to me.  There was NO CASE to sit on!
 RICO suit for $377,310.00      -- treble damages by a "pattern of racketeering activity" involving a "scheme to deprive of honest services"I
                                                                                                        
                                             The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has
                                             never tried to contact us.

Overview - details below:
The dogs that caught the train
   --   I get sued because BEAVERS had built a DAM on my farm!
Judges and lawyers get sued for "a pattern of racketeering activity" under the federal RICO statute.
And get so MAD they can't THINK  --  and make dam fools of themselves (pun intended) ON APRIL 1!

Overview -- "Oh what tangled webs we weave -- when first we practice to deceive"
Happy April Fools Day   --  "if there is insanity around, well, some of us gotta have it!"
How, on a DEAD case, TWO visiting judges, ONE hearing a motion to remove the OTHER from the case, ONE judge from the bench, the OTHER from the witness box, managed to assess a $125,700 FINE ("sanction") against a 67 year old non-lawyer (me), on APRIL 1, 2004.  (for having filed a ONE page motion SIX  months ago!)

Case of res ipsa loquitur   --  Drunk kids joyriding at night on flatbed truck. One falls off relieving himself. Claims drunk driver was negligent for letting HIM ride drunk on flatbed!
                                                                                                          
Bunk-bed Bunk  --  A circus.  A kid falls out of bed, and the (lots of) lawyers ... ...  ...  Another hoot. More "lawyer speak"
       

Puppy Mill Madness
 --  The Dallas SPCA awarded judgment of $6,480, $24,080, $7,920, $4,970 in seizure of  Van Zandt "puppy mill" animals, to be paid as "costs of court". But the JP courts had NO "costs of housing" (the seized animals) ! And the SPCA was NOT EVEN A PARTY to the case! And the jurisdictional  limit for a JP court is $5000! And Punishment of ANY kind by civil process  "offend the Constitution"!
                                                     

The beaver dam suit against me - a wake-up call -- what started it all:
Beaver Dam Bunk   --  I get sued  because BEAVERS had built a dam on my farm!  Senile neighbor (ex-military) goes to war --  against beavers  --  with DYNAMITE!  Calling them "overgrown rats", he gets mad at me too.
His shyster lawyer, knowing he can't sue me over BEAVERS (they are state animals) , simply changes the facts.
Claims I had violated the TEXAS WATER CODE, by ME having built a dam, that caused "sand, driftwood, and debris" to wash upon my neighbor -- when he is entirely UPSTREAM!
Before that I was living peaceably on my farm taking care of my cows and my 90 year old invalid mother, and had only known the courthouse from getting automobile license tags.

The federal RICO case  --  Against the whole bunch  --  lawyer, judges, district attorney, the whole pack.
Dallas lawyer had talked me into it  --  "you have a very good case"  --  Oh how naive I was!

Also, had to have been a severe case of  "loose screws" by the Dallas lawyer, to sue Texas judges for engaging in a "pattern of racketeering activity" as outlawed by the federal anti -racketeering statute, RICO.

I get sued by my lawyer -- claiming he did $38,121 "worth" of services -- in suing the Texas district judges???

Appeal to U.S. Supreme Court -- "Since when, in AMERICA?"   Filed Aug. 16, 2004
"Whether a person without a lawyer, filing a pleading in a
Texas court under U.S.C. § 1964(c), ("civil RICO"), can be sanctioned as much as $62,885 merely because the evidence is found to be insufficient to show his claim." See Questions Presented   (filing a lawsuit is of course constitutionally protected! Rutan, 497 U.S. 62)

"Smoke Old Mold, the ONLY cigarette that  that is ALL FILTER".
 Let us NEVER again let crooks run our District Court!  So here goes:
        
  The Van Zandt "beaver dam" scheme    1995 suit on me that STARTED IT ALL!          
   
                  Over "my" beavers! Watch "your" fire ants (and some of "our" lawyers)                    
                    Among the 5000+ skeletons (backlog cases) from the  (old Wallace) court.    Still active case.  
              MOTION for new trial   I'm asking that the judge next time put the RIGHT QUESTIONS to the jury
              Motion for Recusal  That the judge was no longer UNBIASED after being sued for "racketeering"
              The "beaver dam" judge finally steps down   after EIGHT YEARS. Now waiting on a different judge.
              STATUS:  waiting on Dallas to assign a judge for the one who stepped aside  inquiry letter  

              On the lighter side  Judge Zimmermann:  "To make a pleading (a lawsuit),
                you put a piece of paper in a typewriter and  you type on it anything you want to --
               And you come down to the courthouse. You give it to this lady right over here,
               the District Clerk. She puts a file stamp on it. It's a pleading."

"Judge, how did you do this?  The jury was supposed to decide!"
        
One and a half year after the case is over, Judge Banner suddenly "finds" that I was not "well-intentioned" as he found at the end of the case, but paints me to be some sort of monster to the judicial system:

        The Appeals Court has spoken  -  Except they made up the "facts" and sprinkled some law on top           
         My Petition for Rehearing En Banc  - Asking ALL (en banc) the judges that this is not per the Law
         (as a group, en banc)   Haven't these guys ever heard about our Constitution!!??  pictures      DENIED!
         Now to the Texas Supreme Court (still more paper)        My Petition:   Front section  Main body
       Then they think they LOST it!
         A failure to communicate - short and self explanatory - would be funny if it were not so sad
        or "Did the Texas Supreme Court really LOOSE 24 lbs of my documents, or WHY?"
         Motion to file another set  - like above letter, except more formal. Maybe they will find my documents first?

         
    Civil RICO Suit against the Dallas lawyer   For perpetrating a scheme to "deprive of honest service"

County judge race
:
         
Archive of my 2002 run as an independent candidate for county judge

District judge race
Rocks (newspaper ads) I threw into the district judge race:                      
         "Is it fair for lawyers to contribute to judges?"  It is not against the law, but is it right?
        "fashioned innovations" or "lawlessness" in Wallace's  [old] 294th District Court
        "Wallace Receives Bar Award"
                 
        "294th District Judge Wallace Endorsed by Good-Old-Boy Network"


          
         No 9-1-1 to call for crimes committed in the courtroom!              
         Complaints of corruption in Wallace's [old] Court        

                                                                            
ISSUES BEING CONSIDERED:          
      Tort Reform (hot topic in Austin. House Bill 4, "Trial Lawyer Extinction Act")
      Whether Texas district judges should be elected or appointed 
      Whether the Rules of Civil Procedure (rules of court) should be taught in high school
      How to get more people to watch what goes on in our courts (and make better jurors)
      How Texas trial lawyers are among the best in the nation at representing plaintiffs before juries,
               yet ineffective when it comes to defending themselves in the court of public opinion.
              (Answer:  In court they can get by with lying)
 

HOW THIS SITE CAME TO BE - My intent is to have US learn how to improve justice in OUR county, rather than just do LAWYER bashing. There are good lawyers. 
    This site grew out of my old campaign web site when I tried to run as an independent for Van Zandt county judge in 2004 on a platform of OPEN GOVERNMENT.  That run sprang from being politically awakened after finding myself suddenly being run over in the [old crooked Wallace] District Court.
    I have since come to recognize that even good lawyers cannot provide JUSTICE, if WE should fall back on OUR old ways, of IGNORANTLY rubber stamping (electing) a bad lawyer which the bad lawyers want to push on US to be THEIR [CROOKED] JUDGE.
