Defendant's Motion to Dismiss Indictments Filed by Belknap County Attorney An...Rich Bergeron
Belknap County Attorney Andrew Livernois is pressing a case against me that represents clear cut entrapment. This is my motion to dismiss the six felony indictments based on the subjective and objective approaches to entrapment law.
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.
Reply to State's Objection to Request For Court-Ordered SanctionsRich Bergeron
This is my quick reply to the ridiculously deficient objection to my sanctions motion filed by Deputy Grafton County Attorney Tara Heater. The judge ended up not giving Heater an extension and set the hearing for March 5, 2021.

Data Breach Notifications Laws - Time for a Pimp Slap Presented by Steve Werb...Steve Werby
Data breach notification laws have proliferated worldwide, beginning with California’s law, which was enacted nearly a decade ago. As a result, citizens are being bombarded by breach notifications and media coverage of data exposures has skyrocketed. But are these increasingly onerous laws leading to stronger information security and better decisions by citizens or are they backfiring? I’ll compare existing laws, analyze data breach notifications and explore the effects of these laws, including feedback from citizens and information security professionals. By comparing data exposure disclosure to other negative events that don't require disclosure and sharing alternate disclosure models, I'll leave the audience questioning whether there's a better way.
Motion For Sanctions Against Andrew Livernois, Keith Cormier,Tara Heater and ...Rich Bergeron
My motion for sanctions against a pair of attorneys from Belknap County and another two from Grafton County. Four attorneys handling my case all lied and misrepresented the law. This motion demonstrates what is fundamentally wrong about your local justice system in New Hampshire.
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.

Warning how background checks can get your staffing agency in big troubleMike McCarty
The highly unregulated background screening industry has peddled extremely low quality background checks by relying on incomplete databases, limiting the scope of the search to 7 years or not including alias names. Now, there is a fast growing movement to restrict the use of criminal background checks. It is critical that staffing companies understand how to conduct legally compliant criminal background checks that align with:
• Ban the Box
• EEOC 2012-2016 Strategic Plan
• Fair Credit Reporting Act
• Social Media Background Checks
Do you ever feel like you are involved in a mystery when conducting criminal record searches? You are not alone.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

What about offenders coming from other states?
