Quicky
Just as a quick update, the laptop was supposed to be returned yesterday, but I received a call from Dave Edwards saying the computer was with the "Department of Homeland Security". Even my attorney agrees that this is extreme and noone I have talked to seems to understand what Edwards is up to, but under the circumstances, it does not seem good... Hopefully, I can post an all clear soon, but as it stands, the seizure without a warrant of my laptop is still a pending issue and coming into Christmas with the potential of being incarcerated over the holidays...

Quick Update
Just as a method of protecting myself, I am making public notice that today, Dave Edwards of Probation and Parole seized my computer laptop, and intends to keep it from me for at least until Tuesday of this next week. The specific reason for the seizure is that a friend used the computer to access pornography, which I reported and which the friend has come forth and admitted to. But this is being used as an excuse to remove the computer from my custody, and to conduct a search of it outside my presence.
If this is a legitimate search, there will be nothing to find. I do not use my computer to search for porn or view it. And I cannot recall (certainly not in the recent past) when the last time was that I have inadvertently had a pop-up open on something inappropriate (which again, I have reported in the past, as necessary). But considering my history with local officials, knowing that I was set-up on a false charge once before, I am greatly concerned that the computer was taken to be inspected without my presence. This several day obstruction makes it difficult for me to know what could be potentially placed on the computer when it is not in my custody.
I have cooperated and been very clear that I have nothing to hide - but this is very disconcerting the way it was done. There is also some concern because I was working on legal work that I now have no access to, and this could be used to bar my access from that legal work. I am as such posting here that a malicious act has been taken and will update if this resolves without further complications. If I do not post here by sometime next week, then anyone reading this can assume that something was concocted and I have been taken into custody yet again...

New Court Filing
Last time I filed an action (my petition for writ of habeas), I was arrested the next day and incarcerated for six weeks while the powers-that-be tried to retun me to prison. That may well happen again, but I am being left with little choice - in order to try to get past the obstructions by the local court, obstructions that have barred me proceeding in a simple suit to recover my property, I am being forced to take steps to further that claim - and in this instance, the only thing left for me to do is to try to move the claims, pursuant to RICO, to federal court.
I expect that I will simply be arrested again, but I need to take these steps to try to preserve my civil rights... Anyone reading this, wish me luck...
Attached is the action as I am filing it tomorrow. Hopefully I will be able to get it served before I am once again arrested...

STATEMENT
Since in or around 2003, Plaintiff has been repeatedly deprived of substantial civil liberties through the coordinated efforts of Defendants who, acting as a racketeering enterprise and under color of State law, have sought to oppress and persecute Plaintiff in retaliation for pursuing a civil liberties complaint against local authorities. Plaintiff has been subjected to everything from vexatious litigation to deprivation of due process and constitutional protections to outright theft of his personal and business assets as a means by which to penalize him for protesting his mistreatment and deprive him of financial capacity to challenge said deprivations. Though some Defendants have acted under duress and coercion, and others have acted solely to preserve the status quo of corrupt authorities, the end result of a coordinated effort as part of a racketeering enterprise designed to deprive Plaintiff of his civil liberties and property remains the same, and Plaintiff is entitled to redress.
JURISDICTION
This action is brought pursuant to 42 USCS Sections 1983 and 1443, in that this Court has authority over deprivation of civil liberties under color of State law, 28 USCS Sections 1343 and 1443, in that this Court has authority to assume jurisdiction over State causes wherein a defendant is deprived, under color of State law, of any right secured by the United States Constitution, 18 USCS Section 1961, et seq., in that this Court has authority to prevent and restrain the misconduct of individuals and agencies who act as a criminal racketeering enterprise, and the First, Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. Jurisdiction is founded under 28 USCS Sections 1331 and 1343(3) and (4) and the aforesaid Constitutional provisions.
BACKGROUND
Plaintiff has had officers of Defendant Eleventh District Court, in and for Flathead County, State of Montana, obstruct his legal actions and, in coordination with and under the protection of other Defendants and other City of Kalispell officials, deprive Plaintiff of his civil liberties since in or around July, 2003. Such actions have been part of an ongoing vendetta against Plaintiff for pursuing civil liberty violation claims against City of Kalispell and County of Flathead officials, in direct violation of Plaintiff's First Amendment right to seek redress against government without reprisal nor molestation. Over the course of this longstanding crusade against Plaintiff, other non-official parties have been coerced and manipulated into supporting the actions of said officials, as well.
Plaintiff established a nonprofit youth recreations program in or around October, 1996, originally named The Flipside CCG, though later changed to The Outpost CCG. Through years of solicited donations, Plaintiff acquired an inventory that well exceeded one million dollars. In or around April, 2002, Plaintiff and Defendant [*], then [*], who was also then Plaintiff's girlfriend, established a for-profit business, Arcadia, and parent corporation, Multiverse Enterprises, Incorporated, to work in partnership with the youth program. Though Plaintiff and Defendant [*] shared equal ownership of the for-profit business, Ms. [*] had no ownership claim over any of the youth program assets.
Plaintiff's initial conflict with local authorities occurred on or about July 9, 2003, when a false allegation of sexual assault was made against him and an officer of the Kalispell Police Department, Myron Wilson, tampered with witnesses in order to secure a false report against Plaintiff. Plaintiff initiated a claim against said officer, only to be subsequently beset upon by officials of Kalispell and Flathead government agencies. Though the initial complaint against Plaintiff was dismissed and the original complainant recanted her allegation following closer of official investigations, harassments from said agencies continued and Plaintiff initiated legal action against City of Kalispell officials on or about October 30, 2003, and advanced his cause to full complaint against such parties on or about November 18, 2003 (Cause No. DV 03-572, Glick v. City of Kalispell, et al., Eleventh District Court of Montana). In response, Plaintiff's step-daughters were abducted on or about November 20, 2003, and held by the Flathead County Office of Child Protective Services, detained without contact with friends or family for weeks until the eldest step-daughter could be coerced to reassert her allegation against Plaintiff, said reassertment occurring on or about December 8, 2003.
Following the abduction of his step-daughters, Plaintiff continued to pursue his complaint against City of Kalispell officials and, in absence of any appearance in the cause by the defendants, filed for default judgment on or about December 23, 2003, which Defendant Peg Allison blocked, alleging service had not properly been performed. Upon inquiry, said Defendant first insisted that no proof of service had been filed, but when challenged upon this point, said Defendant changed her reason for denying default judgment to be that allegedly no summons had ever been issued, even though Plaintiff had personally retrieved issued summons on the cause. When Plaintiff offered the testimony of Defendant [*], then [*], to attest to service of the summons, Defendant Allison insisted on speaking to her personally, and thereafter made direct threat against Defendant [*] that if she attested to service of summons, she would be prosecuted for perjury since Defendant [*] allegedly could not lawfully attest to service of lawfully issued summons, which Defendant Allison insisted had not been issued. In response to this intimidation, Defendant [*] called Plaintiff, literally terrified and in tears, refusing to file subpoena attesting to her service of the summons.
Notably, Plaintiff has made numerous requests to Defendants Eleventh District Court and Allison for production of the court docket for Cause No. DV 03-572 to confirm or deny whether the summons had been removed from the court file, but said Defendants have refused to comply or even respond to such requests.
Upon conclusion that Defendant Allison had tampered with a witness and was unconstitutionally barring Plaintiff's right of access to the courts and due process, and that Plaintiff could not possibly proceed within such jurisdiction, Plaintiff sent directly to Defendant Allison a notice of intent to remove the cause then filed to this Court's jurisdiction within thirty (30) days on or about January 28, 2004.
Prior to the expiration of said deadline on or about February 27, 2004, Plaintiff was charged and arrested for the alleged sexual assault and witness tampering on or about February 20, 2004, and was thereafter continuously detained and deprived all access to court to pursue his complaint until after he was transferred into prison population in or around June, 2006. Since Plaintiff had only three years to have his legal service acknowledged, his suit was dismissed within Defendant Eleventh District Court.
Upon arrest, Plaintiff sought support from Defendant [*], who possessed exculpatory evidence for Plaintiff's defense as well as fiscal support through their mutual business, and she was subsequently charged and arrested for alleged witness tampering on or about February 27, 2004, though was released upon her own recognizance after only a few days upon the stipulation that she would have no contact with and provide no support to Plaintiff, said directive issued by Defendant Ted Lympus. The charge of witness tampering was maintained against both Plaintiff and Defendant [*] until on or about July 7, 2005, dismissed without prejudice only four days prior to Plaintiff's trial, so that the charge could not be mentioned at trial (or so Plaintiff's trial counsel Eduardo Gurtierez Falla insisted), though it was clear that the charge could be brought again should Defendant [*] not conform to her prior restrictions of support of and contact with Plaintiff. Plaintiff thereafter was convicted and sentenced to twenty (20) years with fifteen (15) suspended through a mockery of trial, said conviction still being challenged within the State court system (Cause No. DC 04-066, State v Glick, Eleventh District Court of Montana).
It should be noted that Defendant sought intervention against misconduct from Defendants Eleventh District Court and Katherine Curtis from Defendant Montana Supreme Court through application for writ of supervisory control in or around April, 2005 (Glick v. Curtis, Cause No. 05-261), but said Defendant refused to grant relief in spite of over forty independent reported violations, many of which involved blatant deprivation of due process by Defendant Curtis.
This Court has previously ruled, after Plaintiff was finally able to file for relief in this Court in or around July, 2006, that Plaintiff is unable to challenge the specific issues of official misconduct heretofore cites since a civil action cannot be used to undermine a criminal conviction, and the initial suit had become intimately entwined into the criminal conviction as cause for vexatious prosecution (Glick v. [*], et al., Cause No. CV 06-112-M-DWM). Though Plaintiff does not seek of this Court a specific rescindment of that order, he does however believe that the specific circumstances of the civil suit that preceded the criminal cause, as well as circumstances that occurred during the course thereof, are relevant to this cause for establishment of a pattern of racketeering activity that extends well beyond the scope of the criminal cause. As such, Plaintiff references it herein as part of this cause. Additionally, since part of the relief sought in this cause is removal of said criminal cause to this Court's jurisdiction, it is appropriate to summarize said proceeding herein.
In or around October, 2004, Plaintiff was contacted by Defendant Tim Harris, a patron of Plaintiff's and Defendant [*]'s business, who informed Plaintiff that Defendant [*] had closed said business and had left a sizable percentage of the youth program assets with him in trust until such time as Plaintiff could retrieve the property himself, though reportedly the contents of such deposit consisted of little of the for-profit business assets and only part of the youth program assets. Defendant [*] had at no time consulted with Plaintiff over this action and this action had allegedly been done because said Defendant was not permitted to have contact with Plaintiff pursuant to Defendant Lympus' order.
Plaintiff has since learned that Defendant [*] maintained a storage unit wherein she stored the physical assets which she had retained, with the declared intent to reopen a new business, though said Defendant had also been selling off portions of said property piecemeal for personal gain. Additionally, it has been discovered by Plaintiff that said Defendant has retained numerous boxes of assets which belonged solely to Plaintiff's youth program of which said Defendant has been using to sell off for personal gain, as well.
Defendant Harris later proved duplicitous and the majority of the property he held was left, without notice or agreement, with a nonprofit organization, Special Friends Advocacy Program, who notified Plaintiff that he had a limited time to have the property retrieved or forfeit claim thereof. Defendant Harris, by self-admission, retained some of the assets for himself and destroyed parts of the property out of spite rather than relinquish it.
Plaintiff thereafter contracted with Defendant Ray Evert to have the property stored by his father, Defendant Earl Evert, in exchange for legal and clerical work Plaintiff performed for Defendant Ray Evert. Ultimately, Defendants Ray and Earl Evert also proved untrustworthy, as Defendant Ray Evert expended efforts to seize the property for himself and Defendant Earl Evert would not respond to efforts to bypass Defendant Ray Evert's duplicity.
Prompted by the successive abuses of his property and entitlements, Plaintiff filed suit against Defendants [*], Harris, Ray Evert and Earl Evert in or around November, 2007, in Dawson County where he was at the time detained. Plaintiff thereafter had Defendants Ray and Earl Evert served on or about December 22 and 26, 2007, respectively. When neither Defendant filed response to the complaint, Plaintiff sought default judgment against them on or about January 28, 2008. Though Defendant Earl Evert managed to avoid default through an eleventh-hour filing by his son, Defendant Wayne Evert, Defendant Ray Evert has never to date filed a response of any kind, and default judgment should properly have been entered against him, though to date never has.
Defendant Earl Evert's eleventh hour pleading was actually filed by Defendant Wayne Evert, who had assumed power of attorney over Defendant Earl Evert to defend his father's cause. However, in addition to such filing, Defendant Wayne Evert also attempted to extort money from Plaintiff for the safety of his property and made threats to dispose of the property should the extortion not be paid. Further, Plaintiff has learned independently that, when Plaintiff refused to comply with said extortion, that said Defendant attempted to sell the property by piecemeal, of which Plaintiff has no way to at this time affirm as to what degree said Defendant may have been successful or not. Reportedly, at least part of Plaintiff's property still remains with said Defendant, though.
On or about March 28, 2008, the Dawson County District Court, on motion of Defendant Earl Evert's later appointed counsel, Defendant Gregory Paskell, ordered venue transferred to Flathead County and the jurisdiction of Defendant Eleventh District Court without acting upon the motion for default judgment against Defendant Ray Evert and other outstanding issues. Plaintiff had objected to this transfer, citing hid federal claim against City of Kalispell and Flathead County officials, including many of the Defendants in this cause of action, stating specifically that Plaintiff “cannot receive a fair nor impartial hearing in Flathead County due to the bias and prejudice of officials therein” (Plaintiff's Response to Defendant Earl Evert's Motion For Change of Venue, et seq., Cause No. 07-128, Glick v. [*], et al. (Seventh District Court of Montana, transferred to Defendant Eleventh District Court as Cause No. DV 08-391)). This objection was clearly disregarded and Plaintiff's forewarning has come to pass.
Prior to transfer, Plaintiff had filed to remove Defendant Paskell for conflict of interest, since he had previously represented Defendant [*] and had once before withdrawn for such conflict in the divorce proceedings between Ms. [*] and [*] for this exact reason and, by necessity, Defendant Paskell would need to work against the interests of Ms. [*] in pursuit of the rights of his current clients, Defendants Ray, Earl and Wayne Evert, such split of loyalty being impermissible. Defendant Stuart Stadler issued an order on or about April 15, 2008, denying said motion. This motion was noticeably filed well after the motion for default judgment against Defendant Ray Evert, but to date, no ruling has been issued pursuant to this preexisting motion.
Since transfer to Defendant Eleventh District Court, Plaintiff has additionally sought issuance of new summonses for Defendants [*] and Harris, who remain unserved, but Defendant Allison has refused to issue such. Additionally, Plaintiff has filed numerous motions that have largely been obstructed and denied in absence of law and precedent, including acts of conspiracy between Defendants Eleventh District Court, Allison, Stadler and Paskell to conceal the death of Defendant Earl Evert, and Defendants Allison and Stadler to tamper with official records.
Defendant Earl Evert died on or about May 31, 2008. Defendant Paskell had a duty to report such death to Plaintiff, but failed to do so, though did notify Defendant Eleventh District Court and, presumably Defendants Allison and Stadler. After Plaintiff learned of Defendant Earl Evert's death through an independent source in or around November, 2008, Plaintiff sought record of whether an official estate had been filed through both Defendants Allison and Paskell, yet both ignored his request for information. Plaintiff believes and thereon alleges that Defendant Earl Evert's death was kept from Plaintiff to aid in Defendant Wayne Evert's efforts to conceal his father's property, which Plaintiff has learned had been transferred to said Defendant's name immediately prior to Defendant Earl Evert's death, before a claim against Defendant Estate of Earl Evert could be lawfully made by Plaintiff.
The delays caused by said Defendants effectively barred Plaintiff from making a claim pursuant to Montana estate law so that separate suit is necessitated to claim said assets. Additionally, Plaintiff has been informed by Defendant Paskell that no official estate was filed because Defendant Earl Evert died “penniless”, which is in direct opposition to the official records concerning property transferred from Defendant Earl Evert's name by Defendant Wayne Evert, which further implicates all of said Defendants in criminal fraud.
Still further, as part of the machination to deprive Plaintiff of claim against Defendant Estate of Earl Evert, Defendant Allison, in collaboration with Defendant Stadler, tampered with official court records to assist in concealing said death, effectively depriving Plaintiff of any pretense of due process as consequence. On or about May 15, 2008, approximately two weeks prior to Defendant Earl Evert's death, Plaintiff filed two motions with Defendant Eleventh District Court: a motion for judgment on the pleadings against Defendant Earl Evert, upon the grounds that said Defendant's response admitted to all the necessary material elements necessary for judgment against him, ie, that he had taken possession of Plaintiff's property and continued to hold such pursuant to agreement, and a motion to amend the complaint to name Doe One in said complaint as Defendant Wayne Evert. No response was ever filed to either motion, and Plaintiff subsequently filed for default rulings in his favor on or about June 9, 2008. All motions were held in limbo until on or about August 1, 2008, when Defendant Stadler subsequently denied the motion for judgment on the pleadings, modified the motion to amend to require Plaintiff to refile his complaint, and denied the motion for default judgment upon the pretense that the issue was rendered moot by the rulings to the prior motions.
A subsequent acquisition of the court docket and records established that Defendant Allison, in collaberation with Defendant Stadler, had actually tampered with records and manipulated the proceedings to assure Plaintiff would not prevail and to conceal the fact of Defendant Earl Evert's death. Said court docket, supported by a separate letter from Defendant Allison, prove that Defendant Allison removed the motions for judgment on the pleadings and to amend from their date of receipt on or about May 19, 2008, until on or about July 29, 2008, and presumably reported to Defendant Paskell that he had no need to file responses since said motions would not be docketed. Defendant Allison acknowledged in a separate letter that she had kept the summons sent for issuance that had accompanied said motions on her desk, and presumably kept the motions there as well.
Additionally, said letter also affirmed that the motion for default rulings had arrived while said Defendant was out of town, and as such said motion was entered on the docket without Defendant Allison's knowledge. This motion was only docketed and scheduled for hearing because Defendant Allison was not present to remove it from the court file, as well. The records demonstrate thereafter that the motion to dismiss was reviewed by Defendant Stadler on or about July 3, 2008, but was returned to Defendant Allison without being ruled upon. Clearly, it was returned to Defendant Allison with instructions to handle it in the same manner as the prior two motions, but said Defendant was unable to delete an entry made into the computerized docket records.
Since entry onto the docket was not deletable, Defendant Allison and Stadler conspired to assure that the two motions referenced in the motion to dismiss would be re-entered in the docket on or about July 29, 2008, so that Defendant Stadler could summarily deny them on or about August 1, 2009.
However, Defendant Stadler's order defied all pretense of jurisprudence. He altered the motion to amend to be a motion to file an amended complaint, an act needless to simply amend the identity of a defendant, and which would have effectively removed Plaintiff's default judgment claim against Defendant Ray Evert and any potential claim against Defendant Earl Evert, since said Defendant had since died (of which Plaintiff had willfully been kept ignorant) and Plaintiff could not serve a deceased party. Further, Defendant Stadler denied the motion for judgment on the pleadings by omitting critical language in Defendant Earl Evert's response. Still further, Defendant Stadler denied the motion for default rulings upon the pretense that the motions in question had now been ruled upon, ignoring that the motion for default rulings had been filed well in advance of such rulings and that Plaintiff was entitled to relief automatically in any claim that was undisputed by defense. Essentially, Defendant Stadler, who was supposed to act as impartial magistrate, acted as co-counsel to the defendants in the cause by asserting legal defense and manipulating due process to assure that Plaintiff's relief would not be granted, to further keep Plaintiff ignorant of the status of Defendant Earl Evert and to further obstruct the cause of action from speedy resolution.
To implicate Defendants further, said ruling by Defendant Stadler was actually kept out of the docket as well, and was only returned to the docket on or about August 15, 2008, upon receipt by Defendant Eleventh District Court of an application for writ of supervisory control filed with Defendant Montana Supreme Court, to which a copy of said ruling was attached.
The records clearly establish a timeline in this instance. Plaintiff's motions were received by Defendant Eleventh District Court on or about May 19, 2008, and were subsequently removed from the docket. Defendant Allison acknowledged keeping documents properly contained in the court's docket on her desk during this time. Said docket further establishes that Plaintiff's motion for default rulings was received by Defendant Eleventh District Court on June 12, 2008, and was docketed and scheduled for hearing on or about June 17, 2008. Court records further establish that said motion was forwarded to Defendant Stadler on or about July 3, 2008, and that the motion was returned to the court clerk's office without being ruled upon. The court docket thereafter demonstrates that the motions previously removed were returned to the court docket on or about July 29, 2008, in time to be ruled upon by Defendant Stadler on or about August 1, 2008. Further, the complete and total absence of any response being filed by Defendant Paskell clearly indicates a preexisting knowledge that the motions had not been docketed, since otherwise he would dutifully have filed responses in defense of his clients.
Plaintiff filed two separate applications for writ of supervisory control with Defendant Montana Supreme Court over these issues, but in each instance said Defendant acted in defense of the other Defendants in this cause. In spite of blatant violations of standards of conduct and criminal misconduct by said Defendants, Defendant Montana Supreme Court acted in conspiracy to shelter said Defendants from the consequences of their criminal misconduct. Collectively, Plaintiff has filed three separate applications for writ of supervisory control over Defendants, and in each instance, Defendant Montana Supreme Court has acted to defend and shelter the misconduct of Defendant Eleventh District Court officials.
Further, Plaintiff filed a complaint against Defendant Paskell with Defendant Office of Discliplinary Counsel, to which Defendant Paskell blatantly perjured himself by attesting to multiple issues that were readily impeachable by official records, yet Defendant Office of Disciplinary Counsel defended the misconduct of Defendant Paskell. Plaintiff had previously filed numerous complaints against other attorneys involved in his criminal prosecution, and had innumerable issues of misconduct also dismissed by Defendant Office of Disciplinary Counsel. Collectively, Plaintiff has filed five separate complaints of misconduct against attorneys acting in conspiracy with Defendant Eleventh District Court officials, and in each instance, Defendant Office of Disciplinary Counsel has acted to defend and shelter the misconduct of said attorneys, just as they have in the case of Defendant Paskell.
Upon release from prison, Plaintiff was remanded to the custody of the Montana Department of Adult Probation and Parole for a fifteen (15) year probation sentence, that was not specifically imposed by his sentencing court, and placed under the authority of Defendant Dave Edwards. From the time of Plaintiff's release, said Defendant acted to provoke and harass Plaintiff, attempting to obstruct his rights to pursue his legal claims and his capacity to support himself, as well as manipulating circumstances of that said Defendant could violate Plaintiff's release and return him to prison.
Upon learning of Plaintiff's suit against Defendant [*], Defendant Edwards contacted her and provoked in her an irrational fear of Plaintiff, convincing Defendant [*] that Plaintiff was seeking her out to harm her. Defendant Edwards later claimed that Defendant [*] had contacted him because she had learned of Plaintiff's efforts to contact her and ordered Plaintiff to cease all attempts to contact her. When Plaintiff filed a complaint against Defendant Edwards for exceeding his authority, said Defendant instructed Defendant [*] to file a restraining order to further obstruct Plaintiff from pursuing or settling his claim against Defendant [*], which was served upon Plaintiff on or about April 15, 2009 ([*] v. Glick, Cause No. CV 2009-19-OP, Kalispell Municipal Court).
Defendant [*]'s application for order of protection included numerous perjured statements, and Plaintiff filed a response to Defendant [*]'s petition on or about April 20, 2009, as well as having subpoenas issued against Defendant Edwards and others.
Following these blatant obstructions and clear intent to attempt to violate him, Plaintiff filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus on or about April 22, 2009, challenging the legality of his commitment to probation amongst other issues. Learning of this petition, Defendant Edwards filed to revoke Plaintiff's probation and had a warrant issued for his arrest on or about April 23, 2009, upon the pretense that Plaintiff had not successfully obtained employment in two months after release, ignoring Plaintiff's ninety (90) day application period for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) that was still pending, his application for assistance through Vocational Rehabilitation for retraining and a recessed economy where people in the region had been out of work six months to a year, and had not enrolled in allegedly court appointed treatment, despite absence of the court ordered prerequisite of a counselor's recommendation. Subsequently, Defendant Edwards called Social Security instructing them to cancel his application because he had been arrested and contacted Vocational Rehabilitation claiming that I was no longer eligible for services because Plaintiff had been denied SSI.
Incidentally, Defendant Edward's contact with Social Security did not cancel Plaintiff's claim and he was accepted for SSI benefits on or about May 15, 2009, though his efforts to attempt to sabotage such application cannot be overlooked. As a direct result of this approval, the efforts to revoke Plaintiff were undermined and he was released from custody after approximately six weeks of detention on or about June 2, 2009, with the condition that Plaintiff was now required to enroll in and pay for sex offender treatment.
During the course of Plaintiff's incarceration, he was permitted only a video conference appearance at the hearing on Defendant [*]'s order of protection, which occurred over two hearing dates. Defendant Edwards defied his subpoena and did not appear at either, and Defendant Heidi Ulbricht, who oversaw the proceedings, would not enforce his appearance. Further, Defendant Ulbricht acted completely contrary to law by having ex parte communications with Defendant [*] prior to the commencement of the second hearing in which she offered assurances to Defendant [*] that her restraining order would be granted, as witnessed by one of Plaintiff's witnesses present in the courtroom. Still further, Defendant Ulbricht quashed two other subpoenas, one for production of records and another for the appearance of Melvin Williams, both of which, coupled with the subpoena for Defendant Edwards, would have impeached the testimony of Defendant [*] at the hearing.
It was made abundantly clear during the course of the proceedings that Defendant [*] was acting under direction from someone else, yet would not reveal the identity of such when asked, and Defendant Ulbricht would not compel the identity, and that her only real reason is seeking the order of protection was to obstruct the lawsuit Plaintiff had pending against her. Further, not only did Defendant Ulbricht bar introduction of evidence that would impeach Defendant [*], Defendant Ulbricht also suppressed any evidence or cross-examination that would demonstrate that Defendant [*]'s fears had been engendered by others, not by Plaintiff.
It was effectively clear that Defendant Ulbricht had a prejudicial predisposition to decide in favor of Defendant [*]. This was made even more abundantly clear when Defendant Ulbricht, in issuing her ruling, could not summarize any actual reason for granting the order of protection, and even stumbled upon reading the law when required to state that there was a reasonable apprehension of harm. In spite of this, Defendant Ulbricht granted the order of protection, though could not compel Plaintiff to not continue his lawsuit. This cause is presently being appealed before Defendant Curtis ([*] v. Glick, Cause No. DR-09-396B, Eleventh District Court).
As it presently stands, Defendant is unable to pursue even the simplest of civil actions. Defendant Eleventh District Court officials are actively obstructing service of unserved defendants by refusing to issue summons, and otherwise obstructing the cause of action from proceeding. Said Defendants have demonstrated that they have no intention of providing Plaintiff with even a modicum of fair hearing, and remain actively in pursuit of finding cause to return Plaintiff to prison in order to further obstruct his legal access and civil liberties. Further, said Defendants have demonstrated a capacity for manipulating others into furthering their objectives, through both coercion and duplicity. Still further, considering that Defendants have retaliated to previous legal filings by having Plaintiff arrested, he anticipates that he will yet again be deprived of his liberty as consequence for filing this action, which will likely impede his constitutional right of access to the courts.
Plaintiff has exhausted every reasonable measure to reach settlement on his property suit, but he has met with further obstructions from other Defendants in this, as well. Defendant Paskell has repeatedly caused delays in reaching settlement by many bad faith gestures of settlement, while his client, Defendant Wayne Evert, has met with Defendants Harris and [*] to provoke them into refusing to settle. In the instance of Defendant Harris, this occurred after a settlement had been reached and Plaintiff had simply been waiting for Defendant Harris to sign the settlement agreement. All of this collectively contributes to the long-standing effort to assure that Plaintiff will remain financially bereft, a state that has been the objective of Defendant Eleventh District Court officials and other local authorities for nearly six years now.
Individually, each of the Defendants' actions as cited herein have been contrary to law. Collectively, they demonstrate a pattern of abuse that seeks one universal purpose: the oppression and harm of Plaintiff. Though not all Defendants have acted in full knowledge of the actions nor motivations of others, this is not necessary in a conspiracy, only that conspirators' conduct is in pursuit of a common cause. That this conduct was part of a larger criminal enterprise through a pattern of racketeering activity, including but not limited to witness tampering, coercion, obstruction of due process, and other crimes, that have caused injury to Plaintiff and his property is equally indisputable. Further, the actions of Defendants have grossly undermined the integrity of this country's judicial and legal system, and such infringements upon liberty entitle Plaintiff to redress.

CONCLUSION
Plaintiff has continuously sought to defend his own civil liberties for nearly six years, yet in every instance that he has tried, Defendants have come forth to retaliate against him and further deprive him of his liberty interests. In spite of all he has endured and lost, Plaintiff continues to try to pursue legal remedies to these conflicts, yet in each instance, Defendants abuse their positions, authorities and opportunities to further the objective of invidiously persecuting Plaintiff. And despite Plaintiff's best efforts to seek intervention of proper authorities, repeatedly he has been denied any form of proper relief.
Simply put, Plaintiff is a United States citizen entitled to constitutional protections and liberties that he has been repeatedly denied in order to perpetuate a corrupt authority entrenched in Montana. And when Plaintiff has sought assistance from supervisory authorities, those same authorities have acted to empower the corruption rather than to take the proper legal measures necessary to restore Plaintiff's constitutional rights. Effectively, Plaintiff is a political prisoner in his own country, where the rights and privileges of all other citizens do not apply to him.
Plaintiff continues to fight against an unjust conviction wherein he was deprived all pretense of constitutional protections, just as he strives to regain the property that he was unlawfully stripped of by others intent upon their own gains. Plaintiff has at every measure acted within the confines of law, yet he is faced by authorities and those empowered thereby who are not required to follow the law. Essentially, there is a blanket immunity when it comes to violating the law and constitutional provisions of America for anyone who acts specifically against Plaintiff.
The underlying purpose in all of this is to oppress Plaintiff and to assure that he remains oppressed and incapable of standing against the corruption that has oppressed him. And the corrupt powers-that-be, of which many of the Defendants herein are counted in their number, are willing to permit any atrocity so long as the end result perpetuates their end-game, which is the continuance of the status quo, regardless of who has to be harmed to maintain the corrupt system. Plaintiff remains an outspoken opponent of the corrupt authorities in Montana, and as such has been victimized in order to disempower his capacity to fight back. Plaintiff has been labled with the worst conceivable crime in order to blacklist him and to make him an undesirable. It matters little that it is all based upon falsehood and manipulated, coerced evidence. All that matters in the end is the result: the utter ruination of an innocent man in order to preserve the financial gains of a corrupt government.
To accomplish this goal, Defendants have formed a criminal enterprise using racketeering activities for the sole purpose of causing harm to Plaintiff and his property. This is a clear and blatant violation of Federal RICO law, and Plaintiff is entitled to both protection from this abuse and to damages for the harm that has been caused him.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests relief as follows:
A. Temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief prohibiting Defendants, or agent, associate, representative, employee or supervisory authority thereof, from maintaining jurisdiction, control or influence over Plaintiff or any witness that Plaintiff may have cause to name, and to remand all active and future causes of action presently or in the future litigated in the State of Montana in which said Defendants, or agent, associate, representative, employee or supervisory authority thereof, is named or involved, to this Court's jurisdiction;
B. Punitive damages in the amount of four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000) per Defendant;
C. Cost of suit herein, including any reasonable attorney fees which Plaintiff may accrue;
D. Such other and further relief as the Court may deem proper.
Plaintiff above named does hereby attest under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of his ability to present and that this is respectfully submitted on the 24th day of August, 2009.

STATEMENT
Since in or around 2003, Plaintiff has been repeatedly deprived of substantial civil liberties through the coordinated efforts of Defendants who, acting as a racketeering enterprise and under color of State law, have sought to oppress and persecute Plaintiff in retaliation for pursuing a civil liberties complaint against local authorities. Plaintiff has been subjected to everything from vexatious litigation to deprivation of due process and constitutional protections to outright theft of his personal and business assets as a means by which to penalize him for protesting his mistreatment and deprive him of financial capacity to challenge said deprivations. Though some Defendants have acted under duress and coercion, and others have acted solely to preserve the status quo of corrupt authorities, the end result of a coordinated effort as part of a racketeering enterprise designed to deprive Plaintiff of his civil liberties and property remains the same, and Plaintiff is entitled to redress.
JURISDICTION
This action is brought pursuant to 42 USCS Sections 1983 and 1443, in that this Court has authority over deprivation of civil liberties under color of State law, 28 USCS Sections 1343 and 1443, in that this Court has authority to assume jurisdiction over State causes wherein a defendant is deprived, under color of State law, of any right secured by the United States Constitution, 18 USCS Section 1961, et seq., in that this Court has authority to prevent and restrain the misconduct of individuals and agencies who act as a criminal racketeering enterprise, and the First, Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. Jurisdiction is founded under 28 USCS Sections 1331 and 1343(3) and (4) and the aforesaid Constitutional provisions.
BACKGROUND
Plaintiff has had officers of Defendant Eleventh District Court, in and for Flathead County, State of Montana, obstruct his legal actions and, in coordination with and under the protection of other Defendants and other City of Kalispell officials, deprive Plaintiff of his civil liberties since in or around July, 2003. Such actions have been part of an ongoing vendetta against Plaintiff for pursuing civil liberty violation claims against City of Kalispell and County of Flathead officials, in direct violation of Plaintiff's First Amendment right to seek redress against government without reprisal nor molestation. Over the course of this longstanding crusade against Plaintiff, other non-official parties have been coerced and manipulated into supporting the actions of said officials, as well.
Plaintiff established a nonprofit youth recreations program in or around October, 1996, originally named The Flipside CCG, though later changed to The Outpost CCG. Through years of solicited donations, Plaintiff acquired an inventory that well exceeded one million dollars. In or around April, 2002, Plaintiff and Defendant [*], then [*], who was also then Plaintiff's girlfriend, established a for-profit business, Arcadia, and parent corporation, Multiverse Enterprises, Incorporated, to work in partnership with the youth program. Though Plaintiff and Defendant [*] shared equal ownership of the for-profit business, Ms. [*] had no ownership claim over any of the youth program assets.
Plaintiff's initial conflict with local authorities occurred on or about July 9, 2003, when a false allegation of sexual assault was made against him and an officer of the Kalispell Police Department, Myron Wilson, tampered with witnesses in order to secure a false report against Plaintiff. Plaintiff initiated a claim against said officer, only to be subsequently beset upon by officials of Kalispell and Flathead government agencies. Though the initial complaint against Plaintiff was dismissed and the original complainant recanted her allegation following closer of official investigations, harassments from said agencies continued and Plaintiff initiated legal action against City of Kalispell officials on or about October 30, 2003, and advanced his cause to full complaint against such parties on or about November 18, 2003 (Cause No. DV 03-572, Glick v. City of Kalispell, et al., Eleventh District Court of Montana). In response, Plaintiff's step-daughters were abducted on or about November 20, 2003, and held by the Flathead County Office of Child Protective Services, detained without contact with friends or family for weeks until the eldest step-daughter could be coerced to reassert her allegation against Plaintiff, said reassertment occurring on or about December 8, 2003.
Following the abduction of his step-daughters, Plaintiff continued to pursue his complaint against City of Kalispell officials and, in absence of any appearance in the cause by the defendants, filed for default judgment on or about December 23, 2003, which Defendant Peg Allison blocked, alleging service had not properly been performed. Upon inquiry, said Defendant first insisted that no proof of service had been filed, but when challenged upon this point, said Defendant changed her reason for denying default judgment to be that allegedly no summons had ever been issued, even though Plaintiff had personally retrieved issued summons on the cause. When Plaintiff offered the testimony of Defendant [*], then [*], to attest to service of the summons, Defendant Allison insisted on speaking to her personally, and thereafter made direct threat against Defendant [*] that if she attested to service of summons, she would be prosecuted for perjury since Defendant [*] allegedly could not lawfully attest to service of lawfully issued summons, which Defendant Allison insisted had not been issued. In response to this intimidation, Defendant [*] called Plaintiff, literally terrified and in tears, refusing to file subpoena attesting to her service of the summons.
Notably, Plaintiff has made numerous requests to Defendants Eleventh District Court and Allison for production of the court docket for Cause No. DV 03-572 to confirm or deny whether the summons had been removed from the court file, but said Defendants have refused to comply or even respond to such requests.
Upon conclusion that Defendant Allison had tampered with a witness and was unconstitutionally barring Plaintiff's right of access to the courts and due process, and that Plaintiff could not possibly proceed within such jurisdiction, Plaintiff sent directly to Defendant Allison a notice of intent to remove the cause then filed to this Court's jurisdiction within thirty (30) days on or about January 28, 2004.
Prior to the expiration of said deadline on or about February 27, 2004, Plaintiff was charged and arrested for the alleged sexual assault and witness tampering on or about February 20, 2004, and was thereafter continuously detained and deprived all access to court to pursue his complaint until after he was transferred into prison population in or around June, 2006. Since Plaintiff had only three years to have his legal service acknowledged, his suit was dismissed within Defendant Eleventh District Court.
Upon arrest, Plaintiff sought support from Defendant [*], who possessed exculpatory evidence for Plaintiff's defense as well as fiscal support through their mutual business, and she was subsequently charged and arrested for alleged witness tampering on or about February 27, 2004, though was released upon her own recognizance after only a few days upon the stipulation that she would have no contact with and provide no support to Plaintiff, said directive issued by Defendant Ted Lympus. The charge of witness tampering was maintained against both Plaintiff and Defendant [*] until on or about July 7, 2005, dismissed without prejudice only four days prior to Plaintiff's trial, so that the charge could not be mentioned at trial (or so Plaintiff's trial counsel Eduardo Gurtierez Falla insisted), though it was clear that the charge could be brought again should Defendant [*] not conform to her prior restrictions of support of and contact with Plaintiff. Plaintiff thereafter was convicted and sentenced to twenty (20) years with fifteen (15) suspended through a mockery of trial, said conviction still being challenged within the State court system (Cause No. DC 04-066, State v Glick, Eleventh District Court of Montana).
It should be noted that Defendant sought intervention against misconduct from Defendants Eleventh District Court and Katherine Curtis from Defendant Montana Supreme Court through application for writ of supervisory control in or around April, 2005 (Glick v. Curtis, Cause No. 05-261), but said Defendant refused to grant relief in spite of over forty independent reported violations, many of which involved blatant deprivation of due process by Defendant Curtis.
This Court has previously ruled, after Plaintiff was finally able to file for relief in this Court in or around July, 2006, that Plaintiff is unable to challenge the specific issues of official misconduct heretofore cites since a civil action cannot be used to undermine a criminal conviction, and the initial suit had become intimately entwined into the criminal conviction as cause for vexatious prosecution (Glick v. [*], et al., Cause No. CV 06-112-M-DWM). Though Plaintiff does not seek of this Court a specific rescindment of that order, he does however believe that the specific circumstances of the civil suit that preceded the criminal cause, as well as circumstances that occurred during the course thereof, are relevant to this cause for establishment of a pattern of racketeering activity that extends well beyond the scope of the criminal cause. As such, Plaintiff references it herein as part of this cause. Additionally, since part of the relief sought in this cause is removal of said criminal cause to this Court's jurisdiction, it is appropriate to summarize said proceeding herein.
In or around October, 2004, Plaintiff was contacted by Defendant Tim Harris, a patron of Plaintiff's and Defendant [*]'s business, who informed Plaintiff that Defendant [*] had closed said business and had left a sizable percentage of the youth program assets with him in trust until such time as Plaintiff could retrieve the property himself, though reportedly the contents of such deposit consisted of little of the for-profit business assets and only part of the youth program assets. Defendant [*] had at no time consulted with Plaintiff over this action and this action had allegedly been done because said Defendant was not permitted to have contact with Plaintiff pursuant to Defendant Lympus' order.
Plaintiff has since learned that Defendant [*] maintained a storage unit wherein she stored the physical assets which she had retained, with the declared intent to reopen a new business, though said Defendant had also been selling off portions of said property piecemeal for personal gain. Additionally, it has been discovered by Plaintiff that said Defendant has retained numerous boxes of assets which belonged solely to Plaintiff's youth program of which said Defendant has been using to sell off for personal gain, as well.
Defendant Harris later proved duplicitous and the majority of the property he held was left, without notice or agreement, with a nonprofit organization, Special Friends Advocacy Program, who notified Plaintiff that he had a limited time to have the property retrieved or forfeit claim thereof. Defendant Harris, by self-admission, retained some of the assets for himself and destroyed parts of the property out of spite rather than relinquish it.
Plaintiff thereafter contracted with Defendant Ray Evert to have the property stored by his father, Defendant Earl Evert, in exchange for legal and clerical work Plaintiff performed for Defendant Ray Evert. Ultimately, Defendants Ray and Earl Evert also proved untrustworthy, as Defendant Ray Evert expended efforts to seize the property for himself and Defendant Earl Evert would not respond to efforts to bypass Defendant Ray Evert's duplicity.
Prompted by the successive abuses of his property and entitlements, Plaintiff filed suit against Defendants [*], Harris, Ray Evert and Earl Evert in or around November, 2007, in Dawson County where he was at the time detained. Plaintiff thereafter had Defendants Ray and Earl Evert served on or about December 22 and 26, 2007, respectively. When neither Defendant filed response to the complaint, Plaintiff sought default judgment against them on or about January 28, 2008. Though Defendant Earl Evert managed to avoid default through an eleventh-hour filing by his son, Defendant Wayne Evert, Defendant Ray Evert has never to date filed a response of any kind, and default judgment should properly have been entered against him, though to date never has.
Defendant Earl Evert's eleventh hour pleading was actually filed by Defendant Wayne Evert, who had assumed power of attorney over Defendant Earl Evert to defend his father's cause. However, in addition to such filing, Defendant Wayne Evert also attempted to extort money from Plaintiff for the safety of his property and made threats to dispose of the property should the extortion not be paid. Further, Plaintiff has learned independently that, when Plaintiff refused to comply with said extortion, that said Defendant attempted to sell the property by piecemeal, of which Plaintiff has no way to at this time affirm as to what degree said Defendant may have been successful or not. Reportedly, at least part of Plaintiff's property still remains with said Defendant, though.
On or about March 28, 2008, the Dawson County District Court, on motion of Defendant Earl Evert's later appointed counsel, Defendant Gregory Paskell, ordered venue transferred to Flathead County and the jurisdiction of Defendant Eleventh District Court without acting upon the motion for default judgment against Defendant Ray Evert and other outstanding issues. Plaintiff had objected to this transfer, citing hid federal claim against City of Kalispell and Flathead County officials, including many of the Defendants in this cause of action, stating specifically that Plaintiff “cannot receive a fair nor impartial hearing in Flathead County due to the bias and prejudice of officials therein” (Plaintiff's Response to Defendant Earl Evert's Motion For Change of Venue, et seq., Cause No. 07-128, Glick v. [*], et al. (Seventh District Court of Montana, transferred to Defendant Eleventh District Court as Cause No. DV 08-391)). This objection was clearly disregarded and Plaintiff's forewarning has come to pass.
Prior to transfer, Plaintiff had filed to remove Defendant Paskell for conflict of interest, since he had previously represented Defendant [*] and had once before withdrawn for such conflict in the divorce proceedings between Ms. [*] and [*] for this exact reason and, by necessity, Defendant Paskell would need to work against the interests of Ms. [*] in pursuit of the rights of his current clients, Defendants Ray, Earl and Wayne Evert, such split of loyalty being impermissible. Defendant Stuart Stadler issued an order on or about April 15, 2008, denying said motion. This motion was noticeably filed well after the motion for default judgment against Defendant Ray Evert, but to date, no ruling has been issued pursuant to this preexisting motion.
Since transfer to Defendant Eleventh District Court, Plaintiff has additionally sought issuance of new summonses for Defendants [*] and Harris, who remain unserved, but Defendant Allison has refused to issue such. Additionally, Plaintiff has filed numerous motions that have largely been obstructed and denied in absence of law and precedent, including acts of conspiracy between Defendants Eleventh District Court, Allison, Stadler and Paskell to conceal the death of Defendant Earl Evert, and Defendants Allison and Stadler to tamper with official records.
Defendant Earl Evert died on or about May 31, 2008. Defendant Paskell had a duty to report such death to Plaintiff, but failed to do so, though did notify Defendant Eleventh District Court and, presumably Defendants Allison and Stadler. After Plaintiff learned of Defendant Earl Evert's death through an independent source in or around November, 2008, Plaintiff sought record of whether an official estate had been filed through both Defendants Allison and Paskell, yet both ignored his request for information. Plaintiff believes and thereon alleges that Defendant Earl Evert's death was kept from Plaintiff to aid in Defendant Wayne Evert's efforts to conceal his father's property, which Plaintiff has learned had been transferred to said Defendant's name immediately prior to Defendant Earl Evert's death, before a claim against Defendant Estate of Earl Evert could be lawfully made by Plaintiff.
The delays caused by said Defendants effectively barred Plaintiff from making a claim pursuant to Montana estate law so that separate suit is necessitated to claim said assets. Additionally, Plaintiff has been informed by Defendant Paskell that no official estate was filed because Defendant Earl Evert died “penniless”, which is in direct opposition to the official records concerning property transferred from Defendant Earl Evert's name by Defendant Wayne Evert, which further implicates all of said Defendants in criminal fraud.
Still further, as part of the machination to deprive Plaintiff of claim against Defendant Estate of Earl Evert, Defendant Allison, in collaboration with Defendant Stadler, tampered with official court records to assist in concealing said death, effectively depriving Plaintiff of any pretense of due process as consequence. On or about May 15, 2008, approximately two weeks prior to Defendant Earl Evert's death, Plaintiff filed two motions with Defendant Eleventh District Court: a motion for judgment on the pleadings against Defendant Earl Evert, upon the grounds that said Defendant's response admitted to all the necessary material elements necessary for judgment against him, ie, that he had taken possession of Plaintiff's property and continued to hold such pursuant to agreement, and a motion to amend the complaint to name Doe One in said complaint as Defendant Wayne Evert. No response was ever filed to either motion, and Plaintiff subsequently filed for default rulings in his favor on or about June 9, 2008. All motions were held in limbo until on or about August 1, 2008, when Defendant Stadler subsequently denied the motion for judgment on the pleadings, modified the motion to amend to require Plaintiff to refile his complaint, and denied the motion for default judgment upon the pretense that the issue was rendered moot by the rulings to the prior motions.
A subsequent acquisition of the court docket and records established that Defendant Allison, in collaberation with Defendant Stadler, had actually tampered with records and manipulated the proceedings to assure Plaintiff would not prevail and to conceal the fact of Defendant Earl Evert's death. Said court docket, supported by a separate letter from Defendant Allison, prove that Defendant Allison removed the motions for judgment on the pleadings and to amend from their date of receipt on or about May 19, 2008, until on or about July 29, 2008, and presumably reported to Defendant Paskell that he had no need to file responses since said motions would not be docketed. Defendant Allison acknowledged in a separate letter that she had kept the summons sent for issuance that had accompanied said motions on her desk, and presumably kept the motions there as well.
Additionally, said letter also affirmed that the motion for default rulings had arrived while said Defendant was out of town, and as such said motion was entered on the docket without Defendant Allison's knowledge. This motion was only docketed and scheduled for hearing because Defendant Allison was not present to remove it from the court file, as well. The records demonstrate thereafter that the motion to dismiss was reviewed by Defendant Stadler on or about July 3, 2008, but was returned to Defendant Allison without being ruled upon. Clearly, it was returned to Defendant Allison with instructions to handle it in the same manner as the prior two motions, but said Defendant was unable to delete an entry made into the computerized docket records.
Since entry onto the docket was not deletable, Defendant Allison and Stadler conspired to assure that the two motions referenced in the motion to dismiss would be re-entered in the docket on or about July 29, 2008, so that Defendant Stadler could summarily deny them on or about August 1, 2009.
However, Defendant Stadler's order defied all pretense of jurisprudence. He altered the motion to amend to be a motion to file an amended complaint, an act needless to simply amend the identity of a defendant, and which would have effectively removed Plaintiff's default judgment claim against Defendant Ray Evert and any potential claim against Defendant Earl Evert, since said Defendant had since died (of which Plaintiff had willfully been kept ignorant) and Plaintiff could not serve a deceased party. Further, Defendant Stadler denied the motion for judgment on the pleadings by omitting critical language in Defendant Earl Evert's response. Still further, Defendant Stadler denied the motion for default rulings upon the pretense that the motions in question had now been ruled upon, ignoring that the motion for default rulings had been filed well in advance of such rulings and that Plaintiff was entitled to relief automatically in any claim that was undisputed by defense. Essentially, Defendant Stadler, who was supposed to act as impartial magistrate, acted as co-counsel to the defendants in the cause by asserting legal defense and manipulating due process to assure that Plaintiff's relief would not be granted, to further keep Plaintiff ignorant of the status of Defendant Earl Evert and to further obstruct the cause of action from speedy resolution.
To implicate Defendants further, said ruling by Defendant Stadler was actually kept out of the docket as well, and was only returned to the docket on or about August 15, 2008, upon receipt by Defendant Eleventh District Court of an application for writ of supervisory control filed with Defendant Montana Supreme Court, to which a copy of said ruling was attached.
The records clearly establish a timeline in this instance. Plaintiff's motions were received by Defendant Eleventh District Court on or about May 19, 2008, and were subsequently removed from the docket. Defendant Allison acknowledged keeping documents properly contained in the court's docket on her desk during this time. Said docket further establishes that Plaintiff's motion for default rulings was received by Defendant Eleventh District Court on June 12, 2008, and was docketed and scheduled for hearing on or about June 17, 2008. Court records further establish that said motion was forwarded to Defendant Stadler on or about July 3, 2008, and that the motion was returned to the court clerk's office without being ruled upon. The court docket thereafter demonstrates that the motions previously removed were returned to the court docket on or about July 29, 2008, in time to be ruled upon by Defendant Stadler on or about August 1, 2008. Further, the complete and total absence of any response being filed by Defendant Paskell clearly indicates a preexisting knowledge that the motions had not been docketed, since otherwise he would dutifully have filed responses in defense of his clients.
Plaintiff filed two separate applications for writ of supervisory control with Defendant Montana Supreme Court over these issues, but in each instance said Defendant acted in defense of the other Defendants in this cause. In spite of blatant violations of standards of conduct and criminal misconduct by said Defendants, Defendant Montana Supreme Court acted in conspiracy to shelter said Defendants from the consequences of their criminal misconduct. Collectively, Plaintiff has filed three separate applications for writ of supervisory control over Defendants, and in each instance, Defendant Montana Supreme Court has acted to defend and shelter the misconduct of Defendant Eleventh District Court officials.
Further, Plaintiff filed a complaint against Defendant Paskell with Defendant Office of Discliplinary Counsel, to which Defendant Paskell blatantly perjured himself by attesting to multiple issues that were readily impeachable by official records, yet Defendant Office of Disciplinary Counsel defended the misconduct of Defendant Paskell. Plaintiff had previously filed numerous complaints against other attorneys involved in his criminal prosecution, and had innumerable issues of misconduct also dismissed by Defendant Office of Disciplinary Counsel. Collectively, Plaintiff has filed five separate complaints of misconduct against attorneys acting in conspiracy with Defendant Eleventh District Court officials, and in each instance, Defendant Office of Disciplinary Counsel has acted to defend and shelter the misconduct of said attorneys, just as they have in the case of Defendant Paskell.
Upon release from prison, Plaintiff was remanded to the custody of the Montana Department of Adult Probation and Parole for a fifteen (15) year probation sentence, that was not specifically imposed by his sentencing court, and placed under the authority of Defendant Dave Edwards. From the time of Plaintiff's release, said Defendant acted to provoke and harass Plaintiff, attempting to obstruct his rights to pursue his legal claims and his capacity to support himself, as well as manipulating circumstances of that said Defendant could violate Plaintiff's release and return him to prison.
Upon learning of Plaintiff's suit against Defendant [*], Defendant Edwards contacted her and provoked in her an irrational fear of Plaintiff, convincing Defendant [*] that Plaintiff was seeking her out to harm her. Defendant Edwards later claimed that Defendant [*] had contacted him because she had learned of Plaintiff's efforts to contact her and ordered Plaintiff to cease all attempts to contact her. When Plaintiff filed a complaint against Defendant Edwards for exceeding his authority, said Defendant instructed Defendant [*] to file a restraining order to further obstruct Plaintiff from pursuing or settling his claim against Defendant [*], which was served upon Plaintiff on or about April 15, 2009 ([*] v. Glick, Cause No. CV 2009-19-OP, Kalispell Municipal Court).
Defendant [*]'s application for order of protection included numerous perjured statements, and Plaintiff filed a response to Defendant [*]'s petition on or about April 20, 2009, as well as having subpoenas issued against Defendant Edwards and others.
Following these blatant obstructions and clear intent to attempt to violate him, Plaintiff filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus on or about April 22, 2009, challenging the legality of his commitment to probation amongst other issues. Learning of this petition, Defendant Edwards filed to revoke Plaintiff's probation and had a warrant issued for his arrest on or about April 23, 2009, upon the pretense that Plaintiff had not successfully obtained employment in two months after release, ignoring Plaintiff's ninety (90) day application period for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) that was still pending, his application for assistance through Vocational Rehabilitation for retraining and a recessed economy where people in the region had been out of work six months to a year, and had not enrolled in allegedly court appointed treatment, despite absence of the court ordered prerequisite of a counselor's recommendation. Subsequently, Defendant Edwards called Social Security instructing them to cancel his application because he had been arrested and contacted Vocational Rehabilitation claiming that I was no longer eligible for services because Plaintiff had been denied SSI.
Incidentally, Defendant Edward's contact with Social Security did not cancel Plaintiff's claim and he was accepted for SSI benefits on or about May 15, 2009, though his efforts to attempt to sabotage such application cannot be overlooked. As a direct result of this approval, the efforts to revoke Plaintiff were undermined and he was released from custody after approximately six weeks of detention on or about June 2, 2009, with the condition that Plaintiff was now required to enroll in and pay for sex offender treatment.
During the course of Plaintiff's incarceration, he was permitted only a video conference appearance at the hearing on Defendant [*]'s order of protection, which occurred over two hearing dates. Defendant Edwards defied his subpoena and did not appear at either, and Defendant Heidi Ulbricht, who oversaw the proceedings, would not enforce his appearance. Further, Defendant Ulbricht acted completely contrary to law by having ex parte communications with Defendant [*] prior to the commencement of the second hearing in which she offered assurances to Defendant [*] that her restraining order would be granted, as witnessed by one of Plaintiff's witnesses present in the courtroom. Still further, Defendant Ulbricht quashed two other subpoenas, one for production of records and another for the appearance of Melvin Williams, both of which, coupled with the subpoena for Defendant Edwards, would have impeached the testimony of Defendant [*] at the hearing.
It was made abundantly clear during the course of the proceedings that Defendant [*] was acting under direction from someone else, yet would not reveal the identity of such when asked, and Defendant Ulbricht would not compel the identity, and that her only real reason is seeking the order of protection was to obstruct the lawsuit Plaintiff had pending against her. Further, not only did Defendant Ulbricht bar introduction of evidence that would impeach Defendant [*], Defendant Ulbricht also suppressed any evidence or cross-examination that would demonstrate that Defendant [*]'s fears had been engendered by others, not by Plaintiff.
It was effectively clear that Defendant Ulbricht had a prejudicial predisposition to decide in favor of Defendant [*]. This was made even more abundantly clear when Defendant Ulbricht, in issuing her ruling, could not summarize any actual reason for granting the order of protection, and even stumbled upon reading the law when required to state that there was a reasonable apprehension of harm. In spite of this, Defendant Ulbricht granted the order of protection, though could not compel Plaintiff to not continue his lawsuit. This cause is presently being appealed before Defendant Curtis ([*] v. Glick, Cause No. DR-09-396B, Eleventh District Court).
As it presently stands, Defendant is unable to pursue even the simplest of civil actions. Defendant Eleventh District Court officials are actively obstructing service of unserved defendants by refusing to issue summons, and otherwise obstructing the cause of action from proceeding. Said Defendants have demonstrated that they have no intention of providing Plaintiff with even a modicum of fair hearing, and remain actively in pursuit of finding cause to return Plaintiff to prison in order to further obstruct his legal access and civil liberties. Further, said Defendants have demonstrated a capacity for manipulating others into furthering their objectives, through both coercion and duplicity. Still further, considering that Defendants have retaliated to previous legal filings by having Plaintiff arrested, he anticipates that he will yet again be deprived of his liberty as consequence for filing this action, which will likely impede his constitutional right of access to the courts.
Plaintiff has exhausted every reasonable measure to reach settlement on his property suit, but he has met with further obstructions from other Defendants in this, as well. Defendant Paskell has repeatedly caused delays in reaching settlement by many bad faith gestures of settlement, while his client, Defendant Wayne Evert, has met with Defendants Harris and [*] to provoke them into refusing to settle. In the instance of Defendant Harris, this occurred after a settlement had been reached and Plaintiff had simply been waiting for Defendant Harris to sign the settlement agreement. All of this collectively contributes to the long-standing effort to assure that Plaintiff will remain financially bereft, a state that has been the objective of Defendant Eleventh District Court officials and other local authorities for nearly six years now.
Individually, each of the Defendants' actions as cited herein have been contrary to law. Collectively, they demonstrate a pattern of abuse that seeks one universal purpose: the oppression and harm of Plaintiff. Though not all Defendants have acted in full knowledge of the actions nor motivations of others, this is not necessary in a conspiracy, only that conspirators' conduct is in pursuit of a common cause. That this conduct was part of a larger criminal enterprise through a pattern of racketeering activity, including but not limited to witness tampering, coercion, obstruction of due process, and other crimes, that have caused injury to Plaintiff and his property is equally indisputable. Further, the actions of Defendants have grossly undermined the integrity of this country's judicial and legal system, and such infringements upon liberty entitle Plaintiff to redress.

CONCLUSION
Plaintiff has continuously sought to defend his own civil liberties for nearly six years, yet in every instance that he has tried, Defendants have come forth to retaliate against him and further deprive him of his liberty interests. In spite of all he has endured and lost, Plaintiff continues to try to pursue legal remedies to these conflicts, yet in each instance, Defendants abuse their positions, authorities and opportunities to further the objective of invidiously persecuting Plaintiff. And despite Plaintiff's best efforts to seek intervention of proper authorities, repeatedly he has been denied any form of proper relief.
Simply put, Plaintiff is a United States citizen entitled to constitutional protections and liberties that he has been repeatedly denied in order to perpetuate a corrupt authority entrenched in Montana. And when Plaintiff has sought assistance from supervisory authorities, those same authorities have acted to empower the corruption rather than to take the proper legal measures necessary to restore Plaintiff's constitutional rights. Effectively, Plaintiff is a political prisoner in his own country, where the rights and privileges of all other citizens do not apply to him.
Plaintiff continues to fight against an unjust conviction wherein he was deprived all pretense of constitutional protections, just as he strives to regain the property that he was unlawfully stripped of by others intent upon their own gains. Plaintiff has at every measure acted within the confines of law, yet he is faced by authorities and those empowered thereby who are not required to follow the law. Essentially, there is a blanket immunity when it comes to violating the law and constitutional provisions of America for anyone who acts specifically against Plaintiff.
The underlying purpose in all of this is to oppress Plaintiff and to assure that he remains oppressed and incapable of standing against the corruption that has oppressed him. And the corrupt powers-that-be, of which many of the Defendants herein are counted in their number, are willing to permit any atrocity so long as the end result perpetuates their end-game, which is the continuance of the status quo, regardless of who has to be harmed to maintain the corrupt system. Plaintiff remains an outspoken opponent of the corrupt authorities in Montana, and as such has been victimized in order to disempower his capacity to fight back. Plaintiff has been labled with the worst conceivable crime in order to blacklist him and to make him an undesirable. It matters little that it is all based upon falsehood and manipulated, coerced evidence. All that matters in the end is the result: the utter ruination of an innocent man in order to preserve the financial gains of a corrupt government.
To accomplish this goal, Defendants have formed a criminal enterprise using racketeering activities for the sole purpose of causing harm to Plaintiff and his property. This is a clear and blatant violation of Federal RICO law, and Plaintiff is entitled to both protection from this abuse and to damages for the harm that has been caused him.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests relief as follows:
A. Temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief prohibiting Defendants, or agent, associate, representative, employee or supervisory authority thereof, from maintaining jurisdiction, control or influence over Plaintiff or any witness that Plaintiff may have cause to name, and to remand all active and future causes of action presently or in the future litigated in the State of Montana in which said Defendants, or agent, associate, representative, employee or supervisory authority thereof, is named or involved, to this Court's jurisdiction;
B. Punitive damages in the amount of four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000) per Defendant;
C. Cost of suit herein, including any reasonable attorney fees which Plaintiff may accrue;
D. Such other and further relief as the Court may deem proper.
Plaintiff above named does hereby attest under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of his ability to present and that this is respectfully submitted on the 24th day of August, 2009.

Reason For My Silence
Okay, so I have gone on silent running for a couple of months, but I have good cause. I just figured it was time to come on here to explain why.
Immediately following my last post, in fact the next day, I was arrested, just as I foresaw. The reason was allegedly violating terms of the probation sentence that I had challenged through the habeas filed the day before, but even the reasons given were frivolous (charging that I had not gained employment in only two months and that I had not paid for allegedly court-ordered "treatment"). The end result was that this was a vexatious and retaliatory act, but it kept me incarcerated for over six weeks while my life and court access was once again severed. In the end, the State agreed that the alleged violations had no grounds, but the message that was sent was crystal clear - if I continued to openly fight what they have done, to expose their corruption on here, they have no qualms against doing this all over again...
And so I have, reluctantly, decided to end my public postings. I need my freedom out here to prove my innocence and provoking corrupt authorities in this way will only result in my being arrested and detained again - perhaps this time for longer than six weeks.
This does not mean that I have abandoned my efforts to expose these corrupt officials. It only means that my methods are changing and I will not be telegraphing my moves. If anyone wants to know more of my private plans, they can still email me at ron_glick@yahoo.com - so long as I remain free, I guarantee I will respond.
In the end though, I feel I have proven my point pretty well - I remain a political prisoner because the local authorities have a vendetta against me. When I challenge the powers-that-be, I get retaliated against. My recent incarceration is bona fide proof of that. I have said all along that this entire fiasco was a malicious act designed to quash my legal claims; the action taken by State agents in recent months prove that this agenda is ongoing. What further proof could anyone need?
And so I bid adieu for now. But for anyone finding this blog and caring about what happens to me, just remember that I have no given up - I have only changed direction...
I am and remain,

Addendum To Newer Threat
After writing yesterday's entry, I went home and hand-wrote the petition for writ of habeas corpus. But interestingly enough, in the course of preparing it, I went through my original order to extract the exact language committing me to probation and (surprise, surprise) there isn't any! That's right - though the order is resplendent with conditions for probation or parole, there is no order actually committing me to either! The only language of commitment is for the suspended sentence!
As a result of this discovery, I actually wrote a petition requesting relief in three areas: first, since there is no order committing me to probation, my commitment thereto is unlawful; second, that imposition of simultaneous suspended and probationary sentences violates protections against double jeopardy; and third, that many of the conditions I have been subjected to have no legal foundation in law, principally because there is no relationship between the convicted offense and rehabilitation or protection of victim and society, as well as restitution orders that are not related to pecuniary loss of a victim.
Hopefully, when I get time I will be able to type in the actual petition. Since I hand-wrote it, it will take some time to type it in, and I don't think I have time today...
Interestingly enough, if I am released from probationary custody, I will no longer be a political prisoner... Somehow, I do not believe that the State will permit that, no matter how righteous my position is...
As always, I would welcome any help or suggestions in this regard. But I am mailing the petition this afternoon...
Ciao for now...

Newer Threat
It is looking like I will be violated before too much longer. Each time I meet with my probation officer, new pressure is exerted upon me with unrealistic demands. As of today, I am left with no choice but to pursue filing a petition for writ of habeas corpus to try to relieve myself of this unlawful custody.
As anyone who has read my earliest entries will know, Montana violates the double jeopardy clause of the US Constitution by imposing two simultaneous sentences upon its convicts: both a suspended sentence and a probationary sentence. This dual sentencing is used to justify recommitment to prison of anyone who has been released from custody. this is done via a probation violation being considered a crime and this serves as grounds to revoke a probationary sentence (since a probation violation is a crime in Montana, and the suspended sentence is conditional upon remaining law-abiding).
I do not believe my efforts will be greatly successful, as this State has demonstrated a penchance for standing behind unlawful actions of its own officials. And if I prevail upon this claim, it would majorly upset the powers-that-be within the State by providing a pretense for every person on probation in the State to file for their own habeas. And I do not believe the State will easily pass on the means to continue to reap financial rewards from their imprisoned citizens.
At any rate, all I can do is try...

As anyone who has read my earliest entries will know, Montana violates the double jeopardy clause of the US Constitution by imposing two simultaneous sentences upon its convicts: both a suspended sentence and a probationary sentence. This dual sentencing is used to justify recommitment to prison of anyone who has been released from custody. this is done via a probation violation being considered a crime and this serves as grounds to revoke a probationary sentence (since a probation violation is a crime in Montana, and the suspended sentence is conditional upon remaining law-abiding).

Touching Base
I have not been posting in here for a few days. Mostly, the reason for this is just general stress and anxiety. This whole thing with [*] ([*], aka [*]) has really hurt me deeply, and I am just not really in a frame of mind to write in here. But in the event anyone might be reading this, I do not want the impression to be given that I have (at least not yet) been taken out of circulation.
After spending two months casually seeking [*], by the way, suddenly I am being overwhelmed by info, even when I am not actively seeking it. I had already gleaned her home address from the post office prior to service of the so-called order of protection ([*]); I had been holding off pursuing this in hopes of [*] following up on my invitation to meet and settle things, but her actions in calling my probation officer to cause me grief showed me she had no intention of doing so.
But now I am being told by friends that she is back to working at Wendy's on Idaho, and that she is working at the hospital during the week. I had not really been pursuing finding her work, as I did not want to disturb her there. I also knew she was going to Friday Night Magic out at Heroic Realms on LaSalle every Friday night, but was not disturbing her there, either. I just wanted things to resolve peacefully. But I guess there's no getting that wish granted...
All in all, I have just been aching in my heart and soul over all of this. I knew [*] had been manipulated and deceived, but until now it's always been others lying about me to her - but now she's lying about me herself, and that's just a whole new rip in my heart...
I will survive, I imagine. Unfortunately, I always do. The question is, will there be anything left of who I really am when the dust settles, or am I going to just be some worthless husk...?
I just feel so alone... And I am so tired of hurting all the time...

[*]'s Secret
There have been developments since I started working on the "Dear [*]" post this morning - [*] has filed a restraining order against me. Personally, I am not bothered by the restraining order itself because I was not doing nor intending to do anything to [*], so the restraining order serves no purpose. I obtained an updated address from the post office today, and service upon her of the legal papers is all being done by a third party. So the restraining order does nothing to inhibit me in the least.
What does bother me though is that my ideal of [*] has been shattered. True, I knew [*] had been manipulated, threatened, intimidated, coerced and deceived into actually believing ill of me. None of it was true, but I throughout all of it, I believed that [*] was honestly being deceived, and that she was still the woman I loved underneath. However, there were things described in the restraining order that are not the result of manipulations from others - they are outright lies. And they need to be addressed.
Truth to tell, I never thought I would be put into a position to publicly disclose what follows. It is both demeaning and degrading, and it is emasculating. But [*] has made a very specific claim in her TRO (temporary restraing order) that compels me to breach my silence.
Aside from mostly vague allegations of being afraid of me without any justifiable cause, [*] states the following: "He has forced me to engage in sexual acts that physically hurt me & he would not stop."
First, this is entirely fabricated. I have never engaged in forceful sex with anyone, and I challenge anyone to produce a single person other than [*] who ahs claimed I have. This was an isolated statement that followed what was clearly a very weak effort to justify the restraining order. She says first that I had never harmed her nor directly threatened to harm her, but then makes this statement. This is a lie, and it is designed for no other purpose than to defame me. But worse than this, not only was I not the sexual aggressor in our relationship, but [*] was.
On countless occasions, [*] raped me in my sleep. Plain and simple. I was not conscious nor could I give consent. And no matter how many times I told her I was uncomfortable or that I felt violated by this conduct, [*] would continue to do this deploarable thing. I was too ashamed to come forward with this, and even when my attorney wanted me to turn on [*] during my prosecution, I kept this to myself. It is humiliating to admit it now - but the truth is, [*] is the real sexual predator. And for years I have kept my silence to safeguard her from harm, even knowing I could have used this information in my defense.
Simply put, I have still been protecting [*] all these years. And I am going to have to go into a court of law and publicly admit this. So if I am already going to have to do this there, I might as well do it here.
At any rate, there's the deep dark secret about [*]. I wish I never had to disclose it, but at this point, I no longer have cause to remain silent...
All this time, I thought that the one thing [*] would never do was lie. But now not only has she shown me to be wrong, violating the last good value I believed she possessed, but she actually has tried to shift the blame of sexual deviancy upon me in the process. I can no longer say that I believe her to be redeemable. The woman I had loved is lost forever...

Dear [*]
As anyone who reads this blog will know, [*], aka [*], was once my girlfriend and business partner. When I was arrested in February, 2004, she collaborated with the corrupt officials (who had had me arrested to stop my lawsuit against the City of Kalispell) after she herself was arrested on a false charge of witness tampering (that was subsequently dismissed four days before my trial in July, 2005), and barred me from my personal and business assets. Also, she betrayed me even further by cheating on me with [*].
As I posted yesterday, someone has been manipulating [*] into believing that I am a threat to her. The only conceivable reason for this (at least to me) is that someone has a vested interest in keeping [*] from even speaking to me, and is terrorizing her under my name as a means of controlling her.
Had this been a recent occurrence, I could conceive that this was a game of the local authorities who continue to deprive me my civil liberties. But this started back after I was arrested and continued throughout my trial and sentencing in 2005. At that point in time, the authorities already had a measure of control over [*] - they had a false charge hanging over her head with threat of being returned to jail. This intimidation was all they needed to keep [*] under their thumb.
Therefore the threats came from a different source, someone who had an interest in both controlling [*] and assuring that she would betray my faith. As I have said, I had nothing to gain from terrorizing [*] and a lot more to lose, not to mention that I did not even know she had a cell phone, much less had her number. As such, the only person who had access to [*] (ie, opportunity and means) as well as something to gain from this (ie, motive) was [*].
I am explaining this only to flesh out what I said yesterday. But all of this is important in what I am going to say next, as well.
As of yesterday, my probation officer, Dave Edwards, has ordered me to have no direct contact with [*]. He is utilizing a part of my order that says he can restrict my contact with people who have a negative influence over me. This is not applicable here, and I have filed a grievance against the action. But I have already been told that the grievance will be denied, which means I am just going to be fighting through appeal to try to overturn this - but anyone who has been following this blog will know, I have no rights and this so-called grievance system is little more than a pretense of justice. I have dealt with Montana Department of Corrections grievances for over three years now and I can assure you that, being an enemy of the state, my objections will be denied, regardless how illegal the measures taken against me are.
If [*] genuinely felt threatened, she could have filed a restraining order, and I would have welcomed the chance to face her in court to tell her what was going on. But she did not - she attacked me through the corrupt authorities who have control over my life. If this was really [*] who made this complaint and not just someone [*] put up to it, she has fallen incredibly far from the woman I once loved with so much of my heart...
Therefore, I am powerless to try to correct these falsehoods. I do have permission to have [*] served, as I had planned to, with the copy of the motion removing the civil cause to federal court. Originally, I had written a two page cover letter to accompany the documents, but after the events of yesterday, I re-wrote the letter, hoping to resolve this conflict. Then I realized that I could not deliver such a letter with the documents, since I am quite certain that a complaint would be made that I had used the service to attempt direct contact, and I would most assuredly be arrested. I have therefore re-written it again to be a brief letter explaining what I am doing, that I am forced to withdraw my offer to settle this issue out of court by Dave Edwards' order, and that if she wants to resolve this out of court, she will need to contact Edwards to have the instruction rescinded. In other words, the barest minimum legal position I can take.
This being said though, there are things in the letter I have abandoned that I would like [*] to see one day. She probably will not, but since I believe that I will be soon re-incarcerated over all of these faux reports of making threats, I want the letter entered here at least for prosperity.
Everyone who has read this blog knows that I hold no malice against [*]. I have gone to great lengths to set the record straight on that. I regret that I lost her, I am pained by her betrayal, but I hold no ill will toward her. I do not, nor have I ever, wished her harm. But, as has been the case from the beginning of this fiasco, no one wants to believe the truth when a lie is so much easier to believe. I believe it was Mark Twain who said that a lie is far easier to believe than the truth because it can be molded to fit what the speaker wants to be heard, and that the truth, by comparison, is far more rigid and less likely to be believed.
The truth is that I have been working hard to prove my innocence for nearly six years now, and that effort is not helped in the least by terrifying [*]. Regardless of whether anyone believes that I could not hold some deep hatred for [*], common sense says that terrorizing her works contrary to my objective. Only someone with a suicide wish would think to scare away one of his greatest resources. None of this makes sense, but I cannot reach [*] to reason with her. And so I am going to type here what I wanted so badly to say to her in my letter. And hope that some day after I am gone that she may possibly learn the truth...

Dear [*],
Please find attached a copy of the motion to remove the civil cause I told you about in my last letter to the U.S. District Court. For reference, that court's address is 201 E. Broadway, Missoula, MT 59802. I am providing this copy to you, along with a copy of the original suit and current cause docket, to provide you the opportunity to object to this action if you so choose.
I regret that I have had to proceed in this manner, but you have left me little choice, especially after what was perpetuated today. I tried to approach you equitably by letter sent to your [*] address, which I sent over three weeks ago; Since it was not returned, it was clearly delivered to wherever you are. Yet instead of trying to settle this issue, you have aggravated the circumstances, since today I was told by my probation officer, Dave Edwards, that you had registered a complaint against me, claiming you were "terrified" of me and that I was a "threat" to your safety. At this point, it is fairly obvious that you have no intent of settling these issues out of court, and so I must proceed with the suit against you, as much as I may hate doing so.
This breaches another area that must be addressed though: clearly you are under the misapprehension that I intend you harm. Nothing could be further from the truth.
James Valentino informed me in December, 2005, that someone claiming to represent me had been making threatening calls to you on your cell phone since shortly after my arrest. You should know that I did not even know you had a cell phone until days before my trial in July, 2005, and only then because Carrie Beth mentioned it in a transcribed interview - but the number was not included. Further, thanks to James' and [*]'s spreading the rumor that anyone helping me would go to jail like you did, I had no support outside the jail, and I could not call a cell phone from the jail if I wanted to. All these points show that I could not have been behind the threats against you back then. Someone else was playing the fear card against you, but it was not me. And there's only one other person who actually benefited from you turning away from me in fear: [*]. played the same game with you, if you recall: alienate you from all other support so you would rely solely on him. You resisted ; why do you embrace the lies [*] has spun so readily?
Let me set the record straight: I have never, nor would I ever, wish you harm, threaten to harm you nor victimize you in any way. I have nothing to gain by it, and much to lose. I need your allegiance in my war for my identity, not your enmity. How could terrorizing you possibly help me clear my name or recoup my rightful property from you? If you will set aside this fear that has been inbred into you and think logically about this, you will see that the pretense of my threatening you neither makes sense nor matches the personality of the man you lived with for over two years. And, despite what you have been told, prison did not fundamentally change who I am: I did not turn gay, and did not adopt a criminal mentality. I am still the compulsively truthful man of honor I have always been. And I have suffered through nearly six years of hell because of it.
You should remember that CFS claimed I was physically abusive to you, as well; but you know that was not true then. Why are you willing to believe such malice of me now?
You should know me well enough to know that I would never harm an innocent; I spent my life protecting people, not hurting them. Even when I had cause to, I never did. No matter how badly I had been hurt by people - Melissa, Paul, your parents, the board of directors for Prime Station - I never retaliated. And you know I have lived a life of being betrayed. Remember the curse I told you about? "Destined ever to be loved by those you do not love, and unloved by those you do"? I've lived with that curse my whole life and still never retaliated outside the law, even when I was sorely tempted. So why would I change now?
Regardless of how much pain you have caused me, no matter your betrayal of my trust and love, in spite of your abandonment, I still see you as a victim in all of this, along with myself, [*], [*] and John. We were all victims of cruel, malicious people who acted above the law. And from where I sit, that still makes you an innocent in this conflict. Your actions were motivated by self-preservation and not a small amount of deception and deceit, but that did not make them malicious. I do not condone what you did, cheating on me and turning your back on me, but I've lived with that kind of treatment my whole life. You were not the first nor likely will you be the last. But it does not mean that I would wish you ill. I still love you, [*]. And I always will. I can just never trust you ever again.
Remember how we had this conversation time and again about Melissa? You could not understand how I could still love someone who had betrayed me and left John and I homeless, of how I still held no ill will against her. When we met again at the VFW, you were convinced that my lingering love of her would mean I would leave you to return to her. But you didn't listen, no matter how much I explained it, though maybe you will understand it better now: Once I love someone, I can't stop loving them. My relationship with Melissa or any of my other girlfriends did not end because I stopped loving them - they stopped loving me and ultimately cheated on me. And you did the same thing - you stopped loving me and cheated on me. But that betrayal did not stop me from loving you. I never lost that feeling. And I will live with it for the rest of my days. But there's no going back - I could never trust you not to betray me again. You have shown yourself unfaithful to me, and to me, that hope of happiness with you is forever lost.
The point of all of this is that I have no real desire to prolong this contact. If you had not absconded with the business assets and the Magic cards belonging to the youth program, or you were not a key witness I still need to prove my innocence, I would have left you to your life. You cannot possibly comprehend the amount of pain I deal with every day that this issue remains unsettled. I cannot bear to think of [*] having stolen you away through lies and deceit. terrorizing you in my name to have you for himself. As you have stolen my property, he has stolen you from me. I would prefer to have been able to walk away entirely, but my need to recover what is rightfully mine and clear my name make it necessary to prolong my pursuit of you. And your resistance to settling all of this only makes my agony worse. But this is where my interest in you ends: once I have my property and my good name restored, you can go on and live your life built on lies and misdirection. I will have no further need to contact you ever again.
I will never understand how you could possibly trust , whom you personally witnessed beating [*] and had try to beat you, yet you are too terrified of me to even speak to me, when I have never raised a hand to you or yours?
Regardless what lies you believe though, the truth is unchanged: my sole interest in you is for return of my property and to clear my name. And both issues are being addressed through legal channels, as this is the only option you have left to me. I gain nothing by your being afraid of me. And [*] is only playing the same nonsense game your parents did - remember how they kept claiming I was going to their home to wreck their vehicles and property, even when you knew I had never left your side? You're only falling for [*]'s version of the same manipulative game: make up some heinous act to blame on me to make me look like a threat. For crying out loud, [*], you should know me well enough to know that I do not rely on others to do things anyway - if I had a way to contact you myself, wouldn't I be doing that? I have no legal reason not to after all... Or at least, I did not before today. If I were this threat that you have come to believe me to be, why have I not shown up at your work, or your door, or at places I know you would be? Why would I even be filing through court? In an investigation, one looks for three things: means, opportunity and motive. If you honestly believe I had means and opportunity, you still lack motive because I honestly have nothing to gain. On the other hand, [*] always has - he gains you.
But I know you. None of this will make a difference. [*] will deny it and you will believe him. I can't change that, no matter how I might long to protect you from harm. It's your life and it is yours to live. Just do not expect me to ever be civil with [*], anymore than I was to when he came around to harm you. I want nothing to do with him, so do not send him as a messenger - ever. I will not speak to him or deal with him. And, if after reading this you decide to work this out, I am still not able to talk to you directly because of your game in calling Dave Edwards today. If you ever want to resolve this in person, you will need to undo the limitations you have had placed upon my by calling him to set the record straight.
I may have meandered a bit here, but this letter;s purpose is still legal in nature. I needed to clarify certain issues that have impeded my efforts to settle this issue out of court. You are under a gross misapprehension if you believe I mean you harm or that my purpose for trying to contact you was for any otter purpose than to settle the legal issues discussed herein. And once those issues are settled, you can continue to lobe in your fantasy world all you want - my reasons for needing contact with you end with the legal affairs. You should never have trusted in [*]'s deceptions to begin with, and yo should have questioned his motives from the beginning, especially when his version of events so drastically contradicted what you knew before. And even if you did not know [*] to be behind this, you should still have known me incapable of what I was supposedly doing...
Whatever. So be it. I hope this letter will set things right, though I doubt it will...

I need your allegiance in my war for my identity, not your enmity. How could terrorizing you possibly help me clear my name or recoup my rightful property from you? If you will set aside this fear that has been inbred into you and think logically about this, you will see that the pretense of my threatening you neither makes sense nor matches the personality of the man you lived with for over two years. And, despite what you have been told, prison did not fundamentally change who I am: I did not turn gay, and did not adopt a criminal mentality. I am still the compulsively truthful man of honor I have always been. And I have suffered through nearly six years of hell because of it.
You should remember that CFS claimed I was physically abusive to you, as well; but you know that was not true then. Why are you willing to believe such malice of me now?
You should know me well enough to know that I would never harm an innocent; I spent my life protecting people, not hurting them. Even when I had cause to, I never did. No matter how badly I had been hurt by people - Melissa, Paul, your parents, the board of directors for Prime Station - I never retaliated. And you know I have lived a life of being betrayed. Remember the curse I told you about? "Destined ever to be loved by those you do not love, and unloved by those you do"? I've lived with that curse my whole life and still never retaliated outside the law, even when I was sorely tempted. So why would I change now?
Regardless of how much pain you have caused me, no matter your betrayal of my trust and love, in spite of your abandonment, I still see you as a victim in all of this, along with myself, [*], [*] and John. We were all victims of cruel, malicious people who acted above the law. And from where I sit, that still makes you an innocent in this conflict. Your actions were motivated by self-preservation and not a small amount of deception and deceit, but that did not make them malicious. I do not condone what you did, cheating on me and turning your back on me, but I've lived with that kind of treatment my whole life. You were not the first nor likely will you be the last. But it does not mean that I would wish you ill. I still love you, [*]. And I always will. I can just never trust you ever again.
Remember how we had this conversation time and again about Melissa? You could not understand how I could still love someone who had betrayed me and left John and I homeless, of how I still held no ill will against her. When we met again at the VFW, you were convinced that my lingering love of her would mean I would leave you to return to her. But you didn't listen, no matter how much I explained it, though maybe you will understand it better now: Once I love someone, I can't stop loving them. My relationship with Melissa or any of my other girlfriends did not end because I stopped loving them - they stopped loving me and ultimately cheated on me. And you did the same thing - you stopped loving me and cheated on me. But that betrayal did not stop me from loving you. I never lost that feeling. And I will live with it for the rest of my days. But there's no going back - I could never trust you not to betray me again. You have shown yourself unfaithful to me, and to me, that hope of happiness with you is forever lost.
The point of all of this is that I have no real desire to prolong this contact. If you had not absconded with the business assets and the Magic cards belonging to the youth program, or you were not a key witness I still need to prove my innocence, I would have left you to your life. You cannot possibly comprehend the amount of pain I deal with every day that this issue remains unsettled. I cannot bear to think of [*] having stolen you away through lies and deceit. terrorizing you in my name to have you for himself. As you have stolen my property, he has stolen you from me. I would prefer to have been able to walk away entirely, but my need to recover what is rightfully mine and clear my name make it necessary to prolong my pursuit of you. And your resistance to settling all of this only makes my agony worse. But this is where my interest in you ends: once I have my property and my good name restored, you can go on and live your life built on lies and misdirection. I will have no further need to contact you ever again.
I will never understand how you could possibly trust , whom you personally witnessed beating [*] and had try to beat you, yet you are too terrified of me to even speak to me, when I have never raised a hand to you or yours?
Regardless what lies you believe though, the truth is unchanged: my sole interest in you is for return of my property and to clear my name. And both issues are being addressed through legal channels, as this is the only option you have left to me. I gain nothing by your being afraid of me. And [*] is only playing the same nonsense game your parents did - remember how they kept claiming I was going to their home to wreck their vehicles and property, even when you knew I had never left your side? You're only falling for [*]'s version of the same manipulative game: make up some heinous act to blame on me to make me look like a threat. For crying out loud, [*], you should know me well enough to know that I do not rely on others to do things anyway - if I had a way to contact you myself, wouldn't I be doing that? I have no legal reason not to after all... Or at least, I did not before today. If I were this threat that you have come to believe me to be, why have I not shown up at your work, or your door, or at places I know you would be? Why would I even be filing through court? In an investigation, one looks for three things: means, opportunity and motive. If you honestly believe I had means and opportunity, you still lack motive because I honestly have nothing to gain. On the other hand, [*] always has - he gains you.
But I know you. None of this will make a difference. [*] will deny it and you will believe him. I can't change that, no matter how I might long to protect you from harm. It's your life and it is yours to live. Just do not expect me to ever be civil with [*], anymore than I was to when he came around to harm you. I want nothing to do with him, so do not send him as a messenger - ever. I will not speak to him or deal with him. And, if after reading this you decide to work this out, I am still not able to talk to you directly because of your game in calling Dave Edwards today. If you ever want to resolve this in person, you will need to undo the limitations you have had placed upon my by calling him to set the record straight.
I may have meandered a bit here, but this letter;s purpose is still legal in nature. I needed to clarify certain issues that have impeded my efforts to settle this issue out of court. You are under a gross misapprehension if you believe I mean you harm or that my purpose for trying to contact you was for any otter purpose than to settle the legal issues discussed herein. And once those issues are settled, you can continue to lobe in your fantasy world all you want - my reasons for needing contact with you end with the legal affairs. You should never have trusted in [*]'s deceptions to begin with, and yo should have questioned his motives from the beginning, especially when his version of events so drastically contradicted what you knew before. And even if you did not know [*] to be behind this, you should still have known me incapable of what I was supposedly doing...
Whatever. So be it. I hope this letter will set things right, though I doubt it will...

Appellate Update
I have filed the following motion today with the United States Supreme Court, requesting an extension of time to file an application for writ of certiorari (basically a write of review over the decision of the Montana Supreme Court). I am filing this request because to date I am still having my ability to prepare such an application obstructed, primarily by my own attorney, William Hooks, who will not send me the legal documents I need to prepare the application...
It is just a question of whether the High Court will provide me the time to overcome these delays...

________________________)
Comes now Petitioner to move of the Court for an extension of time to file an application for writ of certiorari, and to wit:
The above-referenced cause was decided on or about February 19, 2009, by the Montana Supreme Court (attached hereafter as Exhibit A), yet the state court failed to address two of the principle arguments raised in the appeal and several lesser issues raised within the arguments it did address. Petitioner sought of his counsel, William Hooks, to file a motion for reconsideration, but said counsel delayed responding to such a request until early March, 2009, at which time he declared his intent to refuse to file such. Petitioner sought to seek an extension of time from the state court on or about March 12, 2009, but the state court issued a remittur on or about March 17, 2009, and applied this retroactively to Petitioner’s motion to reject its filing. Further, Petitioner’s attorney has failed to provide copies of records and transcripts requested by Petitioner necessary to file for writ of certiorari with this Court, making preparation and filing of an application within the time allowed impossible.
Based upon the foregoing, it is presently not possible for Petitioner to prepare a proper application for writ of certiorari and the interests of justice would best be served by this Court granting Petitioner a ninety (90) day extension to overcome the obstacles presently preventing Petitioner from making a timely filing.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests of the Court for a ninety (90) day extension of time to prepare and file an application for writ of certiorari.
Petitioner does hereby attest, under penalty of perjury, that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of his ability to present, and that this is respectfully submitted on the 15th day of April, 2009.
It is just a question of whether the High Court will provide me the time to overcome these delays...
