Motion to Schedule Trial (Speedy Trial Rights)Rich Bergeron
1. Richard Bergeron III filed a motion to schedule his trial as soon as possible in his criminal case in Belknap County Superior Court, citing violations of his right to a speedy trial.
2. Bergeron was arrested in February 2019 and remains on bail conditions, but over two years later there is still no trial date set due to scheduling delays and a backlogged court docket.
3. Bergeron argues that further delays in scheduling his trial would continue to violate his constitutional right to a speedy trial and requests that his case be scheduled for trial immediately or dismissed.
Defendant's Motion to dismiss for violation of speedy trial rightsRich Bergeron
I prepared a very crisp and professional motion to dismiss just to watch Judge James D. O'Neill shoot it down with junk logic and misrepresentation of the law. He continues to show his blind loyalty to the bumbling prosecutors on my case. I had more than one lawyer tell me this was an excellent motion and hit on all the right points. This is where an appeal would expose how biased the judge really is.
Deputy Grafton County Attorney Tara Heater Tells Judge James O'Neill III How ...Rich Bergeron
Pay particular attention to how this "objection" is worded. Judge O'Neill ends up not only filing the fastest order in my favor in the history of the case, but he also writes it as if he's only addressing it to the prosecution. My initial motion asked for the judge to either schedule a prompt trial date or dismiss the case. It was not a motion to dismiss, but the mere mention of a suggested dismissal made Judge O'Neill act fast, and the language of the request criticizing him so vociferously obviously made him furious.
Petition In intervention to the Supreme Court of the Philippines on Marriage ...Crescencio Agbayani
This document is a petition-in-intervention filed with the Supreme Court of the Philippines challenging provisions of the Family Code that define marriage as only between a man and a woman. The petition is filed by an LGBT Christian church and three individuals, including a gay couple who were denied a marriage license. The petition argues that the relevant Family Code provisions violate constitutional rights to equal protection and the right to found a family according to one's religious convictions. It seeks to have those Family Code provisions declared unconstitutional.

Defendant Johnson's attorney has conferred with Plaintiff's attorney but Plaintiff has not produced the requested documents. Defendant Johnson is seeking an order from the court compelling Plaintiff to allow inspection of the requested documents and is also seeking reimbursement of attorney's fees for bringing this motion.
Defendant's Reply to State's Objection to Motion to Dismiss (Speedy Trial)Rich Bergeron
Here I take the prosecutor from Grafton County to task for all her mistakes and lack of proper legal analysis. Judge O'Neill will still rule in her favor, no matter how lax in her duties she is. I do go overboard and keep insisting the state had no motion pending. There was actually a motion to amend before the court, so I screwed up myself there, but not nearly as badly as Deputy Grafton County Attorney Tara Heater did.
Motion to Reconsider Denial of Motion to Dismiss on Speedy Trial GroundsRich Bergeron
Judge James D. O'Neill III denied my motion to dismiss. He had to overlook a great deal of facts and precedent law to come to the conclusion he did. I lay it all out for him in this motion to reconsider. Can he admit he was wrong, or will he keep being an ignorant and unethical disgrace to the bench? See WWW.NHDRUGTASKFORCE.COM to find out.

Brown Opposition To Plaintiff Motion To Amend ComplaintJRachelle
This document is a memorandum filed by Susan M. Brown and the Law Offices of Susan M. Brown in opposition to Howard K. Stern's motion to amend his complaint to join them as additional defendants. The memorandum argues that the motion to amend should be denied on the grounds of prejudice and futility. It asserts that Brown would be prejudiced by the late addition as a defendant since discovery is largely complete. It also argues that the attempts to apply California law are futile since South Carolina law applies, and that the complaint fails to properly plead causes of action under South Carolina law against Brown.
Roark v. usa plaintiff's reply and responseBaddddBoyyyy
This document is Plaintiff Diane Roark's reply to the Defendant's response to her cross-motion for summary judgment in her case against the United States. She argues that the government had no legal right to conduct additional searches of her seized materials without new search warrants.

Finally, she maintains that the NSA and her former employer have overreached in their claims of authority over her unclassified materials.
The Supreme Court of Kansas heard a case regarding the constitutionality of a Kansas statute that caps noneconomic damages in medical malpractice cases at $250,000. The Court upheld the statute as constitutional, finding that: (1) the statute and broader medical malpractice legislation further a valid public interest in promoting public welfare and healthcare availability; and (2) the legislature substituted an adequate statutory remedy for any modification of common law rights. The Court also rejected claims that the statute violated separation of powers, equal protection, or other constitutional provisions. While the cap limits damages awards, the Court found it did not prevent reasonable compensation or obstruct the right to a jury trial.

This document is a memorandum in support of a motion for a preliminary injunction filed by Daniel Sparaco, a plaintiff seeking ballot access as an unaffiliated candidate for Baltimore City Council. It summarizes that Maryland used to have a July 1 deadline for unaffiliated candidates to file declarations of intent to seek ballot access, but in 2015 changed it to February 3, the same deadline as major party candidates. It argues this new deadline is unconstitutional under Supreme Court and 4th Circuit precedent and asks the court to enjoin its enforcement and accept declarations by the previous July 1 deadline.

State's Objection to Motion to Dismiss (Filed by Deputy Grafton County Attorn...Rich Bergeron
After two straight motions with no response, Tara Heater finally has something to say and doesn't want the case thrown out. Judge O'Neill will no doubt give her whatever she wants, no matter how poorly she is prepared for trial. See more at www.nhdrugtaskforce.com
This document discusses 10 cases where courts have excluded prior bad acts or convictions from being entered as evidence. The cases establish that arrests without convictions cannot be used to impeach credibility, specific acts of misconduct not resulting in convictions are impermissible for impeachment, and extraneous evidence of misconduct only serves to prejudice juries. Prior convictions must have passed the appeal period and involve crimes of dishonesty or false statement to be admissible for impeachment purposes.

MOTION TO STRIKE - Motion To Stay (PKH)VogelDenise
This document is the plaintiff's motion to strike the defendants' motion to stay proceedings and for rule 11 sanctions and default judgment. The plaintiff argues that the judge assigned to the case, Judge Tom S. Lee, has a conflict of interest that requires his recusal from the case. The plaintiff cites case law establishing that a judge must recuse himself if there are facts that cast doubt on his impartiality. The plaintiff claims the integrity of the court has been compromised by Judge Lee's actions, which project an appearance that the case can be won through criminal means. The plaintiff seeks to have the defendants' motion to stay proceedings stricken and requests rule 11 sanctions against the defendants as well as a default judgment.

State's Objection to Motion For Sanctions Against Tara Heater, Martha Ann Hor...Rich Bergeron
Answering a pile of documented accusations with a couple pages of complete BS, Attorney Tara Heater still hasn't provided any affidavits to back up her lies. This is her objection to my latest motion, which basically says she'd like to rely on her objection to the last motion for sanctions. Total laziness and obviously now a matter of being afraid to dig herself deeper.
The grievance concerns a Postal Service policy requiring letter carriers in Frankfort, KY to provide verification of medical appointments for all scheduled sick leave requests of less than 3 days. The arbitrator found that the policy violated the Employee and Labor Relations Manual (ELM) which only allows supervisors to request verification for absences of 3 days or less on a case-by-case basis if the employee is on restricted sick leave or if verification is deemed necessary to protect the employer's interests. The blanket policy constituted an unreasonable and arbitrary application of the ELM. As such, the grievance was sustained.

The letter summarizes the strong case for a substantial settlement in the civil rights lawsuit Darryl Hunt plans to bring against the City of Winston-Salem. The attorney argues that Hunt's case alleging fabrication of evidence is stronger than the Earl Washington case, where a $2.2 million verdict was awarded. The letter provides details of how police destroyed and concealed evidence linking Willard Brown to multiple rapes, fabricating evidence against Hunt instead. It asserts municipal liability for the police department and city's failure to address misconduct despite notice, allowing wrongful convictions of Hunt to persist for decades. A settlement is urged to avoid an even costlier verdict if the case proceeds to trial.

His seven steps include: 1) Get in a document state of mind. 2) Find the records. 3) Know the law. 4) Order records effectively.
5) Overcome denials. 6) Be unafraid of suing. 7) Just do it! The presentation is accompanied by a 39-page handout of the same name that was produced by Cuillier, Charles N. Davis from the University of Georgia and Joel Campbell from Brigham Young University, all three Society of Professional Journalists trainers in freedom of information. A second handout with the presentation is a pop quiz on Arizona public records. NewsTrain is a training initiative of Associated Press Media Editors (APME). More info: http://bit.ly/NewsTrain
The document summarizes the Public Information Act in Texas, which gives citizens the right to access government records. It outlines both citizens' rights to request and obtain public information, as well as governmental bodies' responsibilities to provide public information in a prompt and accessible manner. Exceptions allow some information to be withheld, but governmental bodies must seek an Attorney General ruling for such exceptions. It provides details on how to submit open records requests to obtain public information.
This document summarizes a training for city staff on the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.

Applications will be submitted to the AOC on the 15th of each month and IDs can then be picked up with an acknowledgement form affirming the user will follow program rules. The letter encourages members to renew their membership and forward the information to other interested parties.
Pennsylvania OOR Appeal 1-2023 - Final Determination Ax318960
FOIA and RTKL regulations allow for agency provision of records which are in no way responsive to the requests being made. Said allowance enables agencies to circumvent proper process and protocol and negates the transparency that these laws were created to achieve.
The document summarizes Indiana's public access laws regarding government meetings and records.

Appeal - Bulfaro - Bucks County Court of Common Pleas - 4-2023Ax318960
The Bucks County Prothonotary denied Gregory Bulfaro's request for a copy of page 9 from a civil court document. After multiple attempts to obtain the record from various county offices, Bulfaro filed an appeal with the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records. The Office dismissed both of Bulfaro's appeals for lack of jurisdiction over the judicial agency. Bulfaro argues that as a custodian of public court records, the Prothonotary must facilitate access under the Public Access Policy of the Unified Judicial System of Pennsylvania.
The document provides an overview of the Kentucky Open Records Act and how citizens can use it to access public records from state and local government agencies. It defines what constitutes a public agency and public records. It outlines citizens' rights to inspect records, request copies, and appeal denials.

Jerry Dinzes - Public Records Request for Employee RecordsJerry Dinzes
A complicated records request for emails containing part of the personnel file of Dr. Jacquelyn Bolman. The request was filed in response to campus protests and community outcry regarding the termination of a Native American advisor at Humboldt State University. The records, once received, shed needed light on the termination. Claims that Dr. Bolman was terminated for being critical of Humboldt State's commitment to Native American and minority students were largely supported by the records. Filed: 2014 Oct 13.
Certificate of Relief from DisabilitiesTodd Spodek
This document provides instructions and an application for a Certificate of Relief from Disabilities or Certificate of Good Conduct from the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. The application requires information about an applicant's convictions, residence history, employment, references, and authorization to release background information. It explains eligibility criteria for each certificate and the application process, which involves an investigation of submitted information and supporting documents by a parole officer.
The Nevada Public Records Act requires government records to be made available to the public unless confidentiality restrictions apply. It establishes procedures for requesting records and outlines penalties for noncompliance. A 1990 Nevada Supreme Court case, Donrey v. Bradshaw, created a "balancing test" that weighs the public's interest in disclosure against any reasons for withholding a record. This test and the Act's provisions around record retention and archival are important for transparency and accountability in government. News coverage reflects ongoing debates around what information should remain confidential versus accessible to citizens.
This document is a memorandum submitted to the Gaston County Clerk of Superior Court regarding a public records lawsuit filed by Dan Deitz and Ellen Deitz Tucker against the City of Belmont and its City Manager. The memorandum provides background on the lawsuit, which seeks access to an investigative report into the Belmont Police Department that was compiled by a private firm, ISS Agency. The memorandum argues that the ISS report is not a confidential personnel record exempt from disclosure under the public records law, and requests that the court declare the report a public record subject to disclosure in its entirety or require Defendants to produce public portions of the report.
This brief was submitted by the Georgia First Amendment Foundation as an amicus curiae in support of reversing the lower court's ruling. It argues that (1) personnel records, like Deputy Glisson's file, must be disclosed under the open records act and are not exempt just because they relate to a pending investigation, and (2) 911 tapes should be treated like initial police reports which are disclosable regardless of any investigation under the law. The brief provides background on the case, outlines the legal arguments, and urges the Supreme Court to reverse to ensure transparency as intended by the open records act.
Jane Jetson filed a motion requesting temporary exclusive use of the family residence and $1,000 per month in spousal maintenance from George Jetson. Jane and George are going through a dissolution of marriage. Jane is a teacher raising their two children, one of whom has special needs, and claims she cannot be self-sufficient at this time. George earns $54,500 per year compared to Jane's $25,000 salary. Jane argues she is entitled to spousal support under Arizona law given the circumstances. She asks the court to grant her motion and order George to appear and show cause for denying the requests.
The Georgia Sunshine Law applies to state and local government agencies and requires that meetings and records be open to the public, with some exceptions. Broad access to government records is provided, except for those containing private medical, personal, or other protected information. To request records, a letter or email with follow up phone call can be used. Meetings like city councils and school boards must be open, while some closed sessions are allowed for specific exemptions. FERPA protects student education records and regulates their disclosure.
Menominee Termination Act (1954)Termination” – denial of tribal.docxARIV4
Menominee Termination Act (1954)
“Termination” – denial of tribal sovereignty and the ending of all aspects of the U.S. federal government’s special relationships with Indians – was the primary U.S. policy from the mid-1940s through the mid-1960s. The goal was to facilitate complete assimilation.However, the Menominee of Wisconsin and the Klamath in Oregon were the only two tribes that were ever actually terminated, both in 1954. The Bureau of Indian Affairs had long identified these tribes as among the most acculturated. The Menominee benefitted from a highly profitable timber operation on their reservation, so federal officials assumed they would quickly gain economic self-sufficiency. The Menominee tribal council was coerced into voting in favor of termination: the tribe had recently won a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the federal government for mismanagement of the tribe’s forestry resources, and they were told the money would not be disbersed until the tribe agreed to termination. Termination quickly proved to be an economic and socio-cultural disaster for the Menominee. After years of intense lobbying by Menominee activists, the policy was reversed: the tribe was “restored” in 1973.
