Update 12/09/2024: CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION STATUS REPORT. (Click here)
Update 11/29/24: I sent the Court (all 9 Justices; Clerk Harris; and PIO McCabe) a letter (Click here) asking why they are marching towards Conference (set for 12/13/24) to consider their Motion for Reconsideration of my Motion to Take Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis...when I have already paid the fee (Click here) (Click here) ?
Hello?
Update 11/26/24: The Court distributed its own Motion for Reconsideration of their having Dismissed my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus by Denying my Motion to Take Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (distributed for Conference on 12/13/24) (Click here).
Why are they distributing a Motion for Reconsideration of their having Denied my Motion to not pay the fee...when they received my fee the day before (Click here) (Click here) ?
Hello?
Maybe the Court will eliminate this “double jeopardy” given a bit more time.
Update 11/25/24, Mid-Morning: My check for $300 to pay the fee for my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus arrived the Clerk’s Office at 9:56AM (Click here). This payment should eliminate the need for the Court to consider their Motion for Reconsideration, and so return my Petition to Conference for consideration as the Petition for a Writ of Mandamus I filed.
Update 11/25/24, Late-Morning: I mailed another 153 copies of my letter to Chief Justice Roberts and fellow Justices (Click here) .
I will be delivering the remaining 80 copies to various parties in Washington, DC, the week of December 9 (mostly “on the Hill”), and meeting with various organizations in the DC area.
Update 11/23/24: I sent a letter to Chief Justice John Roberts, his fellow Justices; Clerk of Court Harris; and PIO Patricia McCabe (Click here) . See my cover letter to Clerk Harris asking him to Docket both my letter to the Justices, and my cover letter to him (Click here).
In my letter to the Justices, I outlined a number of the documented errant acts by Clerk Harris and his staff, and the corruption at the Ninth Circuit, and the Arizona District Court, that Harris has been hiding.
I CC’d 500 of the most prominent legal minds in the United States including: The Administrative Office of the United States Courts; Federal Judicial Center; DOJ, several IG’s; appropriate Senate/House Committees; related and relevant Senators and Representatives, e.g., Sen. Grassley (who is sponsoring legislation to establish an IG for our Federal Courts); the FBI (delivered by hand); every Dean at every US Law School; various Court WatchDog groups; press; and more (Click here).
I mailed 270 of the 500 today.
Update 11/22/24: As the Court had filed its own Rule 21 Motion for Reconsideration of their Denying my Motion to Take Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (and thereby Dismissing my Petition), I sent the Court a check for $300 to pay the fee for my Petition (Click here) . This payment should eliminate the need for the Court to consider their Motion for Reconsideration, and so return my Petition to Conference for consideration as the Petition for a Writ of Mandamus I filed.
Then, as the fee was paid, the Court should have voided its Motion for Reconsideration, and sent my Petition back to Conference for review.
Update 11/21/24: The Court “converted” my Rule 44 Petition for Rehearing of the Court’s (anticipated) Denial of my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus, to a Rule 21 Motion for Reconsideration (Click here) for their having Dismissed my Petition by Denying my Motion to Take Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Click here) .
Please consider, Clerk Harris has previously returned pleadings of mine for corrections and re-file as simple as 1 word...but here they took a Petition for Rehearing, based on Harris having Docketed my Supplemental Brief as a Letter, and not posting the Exhibits with that Petition, and they converted my Petition to a Motion for Reconsideration of their having Dismissed my Petition by Denying my Motion to Take Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis, for apparently being frivolous.
Update 11/18/24, Midday: I had anticipated the Court Denying my Snow Mandamus at Conference on Friday, 11/15/24, and posting their Ruling on Monday 11/18/24. In my anticipation, on Friday 11/15/24, I sent 3 pleadings to arrive to the Court on Monday 11/18/24, and they did arrive midmorning Monday (Click here) . The 3 pleadings are:
- a Rule 44 Petition for Rehearing of the Court’s (anticipated) Denial of my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus in Snow (Click here) . The basis of my Motion is that Clerk of Court Harris Docketed my Rule 15.8 Supplemental Brief, as a “Letter” (Click here) and did not Docket my Exhibits (Click here) . The Clerk’s cleverness here was that by deleting that my Brief was filed under Rule 15.8, and was then Docketed as just a “letter,” there was no requirement for the Court to consider my Brief, nor review my Exhibits.
- a Motion to Vacate the Court’s (anticipated) Denial of my Petition for Mandamus in Sow. The similar basis of this Motion is that Clerk of Court Harris Docketed my Rule 15.8 Supplemental Brief, as a “Letter,” and did not Docket my Exhibits. The Clerk’s cleverness here was that by deleting that my Brief was filed under Rule 15.8, there was no requirement for the Court to consider my Brief, nor review my Exhibits.
- an Application to Remove Clerk Harris from my case, for his errant acts, including, I noted his similarly errant behaviors in my just previous case, Graven v Brnovich, et al (23-7130).
Update 11/18/24, Late-Morning: The Court Dismissed my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus in Graven v Snow, et al by Denying my Motion to Take Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (which would have eliminated my needing to pay the Petition filings fees), as the Court apparently saw my Petition as “frivolous” (Click here). #1 DOCKET 11/18/24 In other words, the Court saw my objecting tot he Ninth Circuit and Arizona District Court forging their Dockets, as frivolous.

Update mid morning 9/16/24:
Introduction:
The Supreme Court/all of our Courts need to be exposed and challenged for their unbridled self-serving, corrupt behavior.
A corrupt Judicial System always brings about the demise of a People.
Our Courts are to serve us, not the Judges, and/or Clerks of Court we have entrusted with this sacred duty.
I mean, seriously, should the Supreme Court’s recent approval of our Courts being able to forge their dockets, to make false case law citations by, and rule by , those forgeries/citations be allowed to stand? (Which see these claims/acts detailed in my 3 new pleadings with the Supreme Court just below.)
I have filed three new pleadings with the court (which see just below dealing with these serious issues), which the Court received on Monday, September 16… Will they post them? (See the three “click here” buttons just below this Introduction.)
Or will the Clerk of Court Harris sandbag them as he did my Supplemental Brief to my Petition for a Mandamus; my Application to have the Clerk of Court Removed; and my Motion to Vacate (which see my petition for Mandamus against Clerk of Court Harris below)?
What else could I do to expose and challenge the Judicial corruption I have documented?
The Supreme Court should be our most trusted and respected Court, above suspicion.

Update 8/20/24: Now the Clerk of Court has sandbagged both my Application for his being Removed, and my Motion to Vacate! I guess anything goes in our Courts now! (Post the Supreme Court approving/condoning forgery of a Court’s Docket; deleting key words and terms from a litigant’s pleading; and refusing to rule; by Denying my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus.)
I sent both my Application to have the Clerk of Court Removed (for sandbagging my Supplemental Brief) and Motion to Vacate the Court’s misinformed Denial of my Petition (as they had not seen my sandbagged Brief), on August 13.
The Court normally treats the day a pleading is given to a carrier/deliver service, as the day it is filed.
For instance, my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus was sent overnight via UPS on Thursday March 28, reaching the Court on Monday, April 1, but it was stamped as “FILED March 28,” and Docketed as March 28.
Similarly, my first version Petition for Reconsideration was sent on June 3; it was received and rejected by the Court on the same day, June 6; I sent a second Petition for Rehearing on June 20; and my final/accepted Petition for Rehearing was sent on July 1, received by the Court on July 2, but it was Docketed as June 3 (yes, J-u-n-e 3, they backdated my Petition for Rehearing by almost a month…as my first version submitted was dated June 3).
But then for my Application to Remove, and Motion to Vacate, again, both sent on August 13, arriving on August 14, but the Clerk sat on them for a day, then claiming/stamping them as “RECEIVED AUG 15,” see cover letter returning my 2 pleadings, and see date-stamps lower right-hand corner (click here) (click here) (click here).
Well, OK...so they delayed filing these 2 pleadings a day...but why weren’t they then stamped “FILED AUG 13” and Docketed as AUG 13? Oh...I can tell you: Because they were trying to figure out how to keep these 2 pleadings also from the Docket also (as they did for my Supplemental Brief [very different treatment than they gave my Petition for Rehearing]).
So they quickly moved up the decision to Deny my Rehearing to August 19, although it was just Distributed on July 25... and by having waited to Docket my Application/Motion, they could thereby simply return my 2 pleadings…with the excuse that as my Rehearing was Denied, they must return the pleadings (although, they have never returned either version of my May 8 and May 15 Briefs).
Shouldn’t a Motion to Vacate have significantly impacted a Rehearing Decision?
Shouldn’t the Court have seen that Clerk of Court Harris had sandbagged my Supplemental Brief (by my Application, and Motion), and therefore, that their having Denied my Petition for a Mandamus was in error?
But as the Clerk once again sandbagged my pleadings, the Court was not allowed to make a well informed Decision.
As I warned in my Petition for a Mandamus, Judicial anarchy seems to be afoot.
Update 8/19/24: Our GOP controlled US Supreme Court could not help itself in what they thought would be their final deathblow to my efforts for Justice.
The GOP members of the Court are not caught between a rock and a hard place…they are caught between GOP Judicial corruption, and an attempt to bury that corruption…which they seem to think will end by now Denying my Petition for Rehearing…and so burying me.
But, incredibly, how they Denied my Petition, simply/clearly/obviously adds to their string of corrupt acts, and the overall weight/obviousness of their corruption.
I filed my Petition for Rehearing on July 1 [click here], still not realizing that Clerk of Court Harris had sandbagged my Supplemental Brief [click here] (which I had filed on May 15, which see). See my Update 8/14/24 Parts 1 and 2 for detail on Mr. Harris sandbagging my Brief/me.
I filed my Brief on May 15, the Clerk’s Office received it on May 16…but it was never Docketed, or returned (i.e., it was sandbagged), and the Clerk’s Office did not notify me that they had any issues with my Brief (until prompted, on July 26 [2 months after my Conference/Denied Petition for a Mandamus]).
My Petition for a Writ of Mandamus (my reason for going to the Supreme Court) was Denied on May 30/June 3 (when I filed my Brief, I offered to have the date of my Conference moved back, due to the filing date of my Brief).
My (accepted/3rd try [the first 2 tries were returned]) Petition for Rehearing was accepted on July 1 (it is listed as June 3 on the Court’s Docket [that is the date of my 1st try]); it was Distributed July 25, see that entry on the Court’s Docket from earlier today [click here].
As the Court’s Rules describe, if a petition for rehearing is not acted upon by certain Justices before the end of 30 days from Distribution, it is deemed denied (so that would have been Monday, August 26, for my Petition for Rehearing).
But just letting my Petition die on August 26 was not good enough for the Court’s needs in the present matter.
Why not good enough?
Because on August 13, I filed a Motion to Vacate the Court having Denied my Petition for a Mandamus, due to the Clerk’s having sandbagged my Brief [click here], and I filed an Application to remove Clerk of Court Harris from my case [click here], [click here]
So…being the ever clever/corrupt GOP Supreme Court members we have…they acted early, and they acted to actually Deny my Petition for Rehearing, today, August 19 [click here], rather than confront my Motion to Vacate and Application to Remove which were filed on August 13, to thereby evade Mr. Harris having sandbagged my Supplemental Brief, and their thereby having Denied my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus by his sandbagging (I am guessing they will return my Motion and Application [or will they pretend these 2 pleadings never arrived/existed, as they did for my Supplemental Brief?]).
This is now documented GOP corruption at all 3 levels of our Federal Judiciary.
And so, by Denying my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus, our Supreme Court has approved/condoned all Courts forging their Dockets; ruling by those forgeries (e.g., by false case law citations); and they have approved/condoned our Appeals Courts refusing to rule on a properly appealed and argued on On-Appeal low Court Order, for whatever reason the Appeals Court chooses, with no explanation.
Update 8/16/24: A lot of water has gone over the dam, and under the bridge…and around both, since this legal adventure (aka: nightmare) began, and since I began this website.
So, I thought I would try put together the most succinct overview I possibly could.
And here it is: (click Here].
Now, at first blush you may think 61 pages is not very succinct…but you only need to the first page, and a bit of the top of page 2 (which includes a current status “report”).
The rest of the pages are referenced Exhibits from page 1, should you wish to verify my claims/allegations.
The overview file is 7.3MB…please download a copy, and send it to parties you think should know about the corruption at all 3 levels of our Federal Judiciary, that I have experienced, and documented here.
Thank you.

Update 8/14/24, Part 1: Due to the now documented errant acts of Clerk of Court Scott Harris, acts which I have have summarized as “sandbagging," and my concern for what will likely be his “defending” his documented errant acts (which see in my below Motion to Vacate), which will likely lead to his committing even more errant acts, I filed a Rule 22 Application with Justice Kagan to have him Removed as the Clerk of Court from my case.
Please see my cover letter to Mr. Harris and Asst. Clerk Angela Jimenez [click here], asking them to forward my Application to Justice Kagan [click here].
Update 8/14/24, Part 2: As Mr. Danny Bickell, on behalf of Mr. Harris, sent a letter (which see in my Update 8/3/24 [to the original letter, without the Update [click here]) is clearly an admission of their having sandbagged me, I filed a Rule 21 Motion to Vacate the Supreme Court’s having Denied my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus, as Mr. Harris had prevented (“sandbagged”) my Supplemental Brief from being Docketed, and Distributed to the Justices, so added to my Petition, for the Justices to consider them together, I filed a Motion to Vacate the Court having Denied my Petition (which see just below; or to see the original pleading [click here]).
I currently have a Petition for Rehearing pending [click here], which neither has my “missing” Supplemental Brief (which Mr. Harris allegedly disqualified when hos Office received it on May 13, but did not tell me about until 2 months after Conference…and I Note: I filed no Brief on May 13; nor was I given an opportunity to correct either of my May 8 or May 15 versions of my Briefs; nor were either of my Briefs returned…they are “missing”).
My Brief [click here] exposes my Appeals Panel of 3 GOP Court Judges (how was I “randomly” assigned 3 GOP Judges, at the Ninth Circuit no less?) using a forged Docket to make false case law citations to Affirm a GOP District Court Chief Judge; who errantly dismissed my Complaint against several of fellow Arizona GOP Power Elites.

ON PETITION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
_______________
PETITIONER’S RULE 21 MOTION TO VACATE THE COURT’S HAVING DENIED MY PETITION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS, DUE TO THE CLERK OF COURT SCOTT HARRIS HAVING INTENTIONALLY “SANDBAGGED” ME/MY SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEF FROM BEING ADDED TO MY PETITION FOR THE COURT’S CONSIDERATION
________
Synopsis: I submitted a Rule 15.8 Supplemental Brief, which the Clerk received on May 16. I waited for my Brief to be Docketed; distributed; and considered at Conference on May 30. None of that happened, so the Court Denied my Petition. Mr. Harris had “sandbagged” me; including, he did not return either of my Briefs (one sent in error, and one to be Docketed); to possibly be corrected; nor did he notice me that he had “disqualified” my Brief, allegedly on May 13, until July 26 (2 1/2 months after my Brief was filed)! Mr. Harris sat on my Brief for as long as he could, first to get passed Conference, then as he hoped I would go away. He didn’t explain himself until I tried to re-file my Brief on July 16, for my Rehearing. My Brief exposes 3 GOP Appeals Judges using a forged Docket to make false case law citations.

Clerk of the Supreme Court Harris intentionally Sandbagged me/my Supplemental Brief, and so the Court went into Conference with only my Petition; and my Petition for Rehearing is yet without my Brief.
Note 1: See much more detail for this saga than is in this Motion in my August 8 letter and Ex’s to Clerk of Court Harris, asking him to take corrective action (Ex 1) (see this Ex 1/Letter with Ex’s below as my Update 8/8/24) for his errant acts (I have filed a Rule 22 Application with Justice Kagan to have Mr. Harris removed as the Clerk of Court from my case). The original of this Motion has a 196 page Ex 1 (my August 8 letter is 11 of those pages, and 185 pages are 37 Exhibits), but the 10 copies for distribution only have my cover letter; and 15 current Exhibits (I could not afford the 10 sets of 185 page copies each, or the shipping). I trust all participants will be able to access the 37 Ex’s of my Ex 1 through your e-Docket. The 15 current Ex’s are included with both my original Motion and each of my 10 copies.
I. Introduction and Background
At an Assistant Clerk’s suggestion, after I had mistakenly filed a Reply to the Ninth Circuit’s not having Responded to the Court’s Order to respond to my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus, the Asst. Clerk suggested I file a Supplemental Brief (Ex 2, Ref 1 [you will see cover sheets to the Exhibits of my August 8 letter to Clerk of Court Harris]), and he gave me a roadmap to file a Supplemental Brief (Ex 2, Ref 2).
My first effort for my Supplemental Brief was sent May 8, which the Clerk received on May 10 (Ex 3; see my FedEx delivery receipt as the last page to this Exhibit).
Over the weekend of May 11/12, I realized I had mistakenly sent the wrong version of this first real Brief (see my replacement Brief dated May 15 as Ex 4; here, for Ref 1). So on Sunday evening May 12, and the again Monday morning May 13, I called the Clerk’s Office leaving voice-messages asking for the May 8 version to be pulled, and apologizing my causing this extra confusion (Ex 4, Ref’s 2 and 3). See my phone log as Brief Review Exhibits 3, 4, and 5 to my August 8 letter to Mr. Harris.
A “Laurie” in the Clerk’s Office called me Monday morning (see just above phone log Ex 5) saying they had received my voice-messages and that she had pulled my FedEx package from circulation (Ex 4, Ref 5); we discussed what to do with the envelope, and agreed she would return the contents to me, as per normal (which they did for my faulty pleadings, 8 of 10 times, see the 2 times they did not return such, in Note 3).
My correct (missing) replacement Brief is dated May 15 (Ex 4), and was received by the Clerk on May 16 (see my FedEx delivery receipt as the last page to this Exhibit).
Note 2: The voided/to be returned May 8 Brief/version received by the Clerk on May 10 is what Clerk of Court Harris claimed he received on May 13, and “at that time” disqualified my Brief by (Ex 15, Ref’s 4 and 3). Yes, he somehow disqualified my Brief by a voided/pulled version of my Brief. And he has said nothing of my May 15 correct Brief, cover letter, and 10 copies (Ex 15).
II. Clerk of Court Harris sought to destroy my chances at Conference
Due to various delays in getting my Brief to the Court (including, FedEx sent my 1st replacement/correct Brief to New Hampshire [Ex 4, Ref’s 6 and 7), I offered to have my Conference delayed (Ex 4, Ref 9).
I literally begged for my Brief to be Docketed and distributed, stating I was desperate to have my Brief seen by the Justices at Conference (Ex 4, Ref’s 8 and Ref 9).
In spite of my clearly expressed desperation on May 15, Mr. Harris will intentionally sandbag me, and not say a word until July 26, about having allegedly “disqualified” my Brief on May 13 (Ex 15, Ref’s 3/4). Mr. Harris finally informing me 2 ½ months after he disqualified my Brief; and 2 months after Conference, is sandbagging.
But as the Clerk had not returned my May 15 Brief, which, based on those eight other erred letters/pleadings I had sent, and were returned for correction, this meant to me that my Supplemental Brief was being accepted, and would soon be Docketed.
As I waited for my Brief to be Docketed, distributed, and considered at Conference, with my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus, the Court Denied my Petition. The Clerk of Court posted to the Docket on June 3 that my Petition had been Denied. He will not tell me for another almost 8 weeks (July 26) that he had “disqualified” my Brief on May 13. I believe he delayed telling me, until after the Conference, to ensure that I would not raise an objection to his errant disqualification of my Brief...as he sought to make certain the embers of a possible objection were cold. This is sandbagging.
Note 3: Clerk of Court Harris has not returned my May 8 Brief cover letter/10 copies (Ex 3); nor has he returned, let alone even acknowledged my May 15 cover letter/10 copies (Ex 4). These are the only 2 of 10 times the Clerk of Court did not return my “faulty” pleadings to be corrected. Said somewhat differently, out of my 10 different pleadings that someone in the Clerk’s Office determined to be faulty, there are only 2 pleadings that I was not given the opportunity to correct and resubmit, and that were not returned to me (this is sandbagging): Yes, my May 8 and my May 15 versions of my Supplemental Brief.
III. My first “Petition for “Reconsideration””
That very day, June 3, while in a state of shock (no, I am not being overly melodramatic), I filed a Petition for Reconsideration...see my missing (”missing,” as best I knew) Supplemental Brief as the backbone of my asking to be Reheard (Ex 5).
In my cover letter to my quickly done Petition for Reconsideration, in making an issue of what I had not yet realized was my sandbagged Brief, I stated (Ex 5, Ref 1):
“Nor did the Appeals Court therefore respond to who forged “Attorney General, Attorney General” to my Appeal Docket, and various entries.” (This is what my Brief is about.)
In my one page Petition for Reconsideration, in making an issue of what I had not yet realized was my sandbagged Brief, I stated (Ex 5, Ref 2):
“And what of “Someone” at the Appeals Court having forged “Attorney General, Attorney General” onto the Appeal Docket? That is a term that appeared nowhere in District Court. This can’t be acceptable/real! The Appeals Court forging the Docket?” (This is what my Brief is about.)
And (Ex 5, Ref 3):
“PS I note that my Panel Affirmed the 1 Order of Dismissal by the Docket having been forged, citing Lujan and Linda RS, by “Attorney General, Attorney General,” which see in my Petition, and my Supplemental Brief.” (Bold underline by Petitioner.)
My first effort for a Rehearing (which I had mistakenly called “Reconsideration”) was returned (Ex 6). Please note: I sent this Petition on June 3rd; the Clerk Office received it on June 6 (see the date stamp as Ref 2), and responded that very day (versus, the 2 ½ month response time for my Brief).
Asst Clerk, Ms. Angela Jimenez (who became my primary contact in the Clerk’s Office), told me what I had done wrong in my first Petition; how to fix it; and also she emphasized (Ex 6, Ref 1): “Please correct and resubmit as soon as possible.”
This represents the spirit of how I was treated as an In Pro Se (except for my Brief). I sincerely appreciated the detailed assistance given me by Asst. Clerk Jimenez.
In Ms. Jimenez’s comments as to why she was returning my June 3 Petition, I heard nothing about my Supplemental Brief having been disqualified, and/or my using a “disqualified” pleading as the basis for my Petition for Rehearing (Ex 6).
IV. My Supplemental Brief was still missing when I filed my second “Petition for “Rehearing” (thusly, my missing Brief was the backbone of my second Petition)
Due to mail delivery issues, I did not receive the Clerk’s Office returning my first “Petition for Reconsideration” until June 18.
Much to my surprise/shock, neither my May 8 or May 15 versions of my Supplemental Brief were included with my returned Petition for Rehearing (Reconsideration). (Ex 6)
When my Brief was not Docketed, to be considered at Conference, and then my Petition for a Mandamus was Denied, I became suspicious.
By June 18, I had already (prior to my first Petition for Reconsideration being returned on June18) begun to ask Asst. Clerk Jimenez:
Where is my Brief?
Why isn’t it Docketed?
The only answer I could elicit from Ms. Jimenez was: “There is a copy in the file.” (Which see more about this below.)
V. I began to suspect foul play
On June 18, when my first Petition for Reconsideration was returned, and my Briefs were not returned, nor had one been Docketed, I began to suspect foul play (I had ready experienced Judicial corruption at the Ninth Circuit and in Arizona District Court).
VI. My second Petition for Rehearing, June 20; and it’s all about my missing Brief
On June 20, I sent in my second effort at a Petition for Rehearing, and I began to make a lotta noise about my missing Brief (Ex 7), first in my cover letter (Ref’s 1, 2, and 3):
“Re: My Prayer for a “Complete Hearing” (i.e., with all materials as submitted) at Conference.” (Bolder underline here by Petitioner.)
Ref 1: “However, it is not a rehearing I need...it is your finding my Supplemental Brief, which is there, somewhere (your Office received it on 5-16-24), and then posting it, distributing it for Conference, and having it considered at Conference, a “complete hearing,” if you will, with all materials I submitted for my Petition, is what I need.
Ref 2: I believe it is the Court not having my Supplemental Brief which caused them to Deny my Petition...which thereby approved “Someone” at the Ninth Circuit having forged the Docket, and my Appeal Panel having Affirmed 1 of 2 Orders On-Appeal by those forgeries (the Panel did not rule on the 2nd Order, which was 1 of 2 reasons for my Petition).
Ref 3: I would appreciate your posting this “Petitioner’s Prayer for a Complete Hearing at Conference,” at your earliest convenience. You will also find 10 copies included for distribution.”
And then right on the cover my Petition for a Rehearing (Underline by Petitioner):
“IS THIS A RULE 44 PETITION FOR A REHEARING?
I DO NOT BELIEVE SO.
I BELIEVE THIS IS A PRAYER FOR MY PROPERLY SUBMITTED (but apparently lost/misplaced by someone at the Court) RULE 15.8 SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEF TO BE POSTED, DISTRIBUTED, AND CONSIDERED IN A SUPPLEMENTAL MANNER WITH MY PETITION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
Synopsis: I properly submitted a Rule 15.8 Supplemental Brief. The Clerk received it on 5-16-24 (Ex 1). While I waited for my Brief to be posted, distributed for Conference, and considered at Conference (or returned, which it was not), the Court Denied my Petition. Thusly, my Petition does not need a Re-Hearing, it needs a first-time Hearing complete with my Supplemental Brief.”
And from my Petition for a Rehearing (Ex 7, page 2):
“I made mention in my Petition of what I thought were irregularities (forgeries) to the Appeals Court’s Docket Header and various Docket Entries.
I was not experienced/bright enough to pick up on what those forgeries meant to my Appeal Panel having considered, and ruled on my Appeal of the 2 District Court Orders.
Upon further study and reflection of those “irregularities,” I realized what those forgeries to the Appeals Court’s Docket Header and various Docket Entries meant, and how my Appeal Panel had corruptly used them in Affirming the 1 Order (and why they ignored my 8 pleadings asking about those forgeries [see Petition Apndx I]).
So, I filed a Supplemental Brief that is focused on the forgeries and how my Panel used them (see a copy of my Supplemental Brief as submitted on 5-15-24, with its cover letter, attached as Exhibit 2).
I experienced corruption at the Appeals Court with my Appeal Panel using forgeries to Affirm the 1st Order (again see Petition Apndx I).
I also experienced corruption at the Appeals Court with my Appeal Panel refusing to rule on the 2nd Order (as apparently, they could not think of a way to forge the Docket to Affirm that 2nd Order, a Dismissal that was done on legal grounds entirely contrary to Ninth Circuit Case Law [which explains why my Panel ignored my 6 pleadings about the 2nd Order not having been ruled on [see Petition Apndx E1-6]).
I trust that my Supplemental Brief being lost here and not making its way to the Docket, then distribution, and consideration, was merely a processing error of some kind. (Bold underline by Petitioner.)
I believe the Court not having my Supplemental Brief caused you to Deny my Petition... which thereby approved “Someone” at the Ninth Circuit having forged the Docket, and my Appeal Panel having Affirmed by those forgeries. And you thereby approved Courts ignoring/not ruling on Appealed and argued Orders.
The Court being incompletely informed, and Denying my Petition, created what appeared to be a condoning of Docket forgery, and Courts being allowed to ignore Appealed Orders.
I pray the Court will simply step back from an incomplete, if not improperly influenced decision, and give my Petition and Supplemental Brief honest consideration by a “Complete Hearing” at Conference.”
And from my “PS” (again, Ex 7, page 4):
“PS I note that my Panel Affirmed the 1 Order of Dismissal by the Docket having been forged to include “Attorney General, Attorney General” and exclude (delete) “for acts as,” thereby citing Lujan and Linda RS, which see in my Supplemental Brief (which is what my Supplemental Brief was for, and makes clear: my Appeal Panel ruled by a forged Docket and so false citations).”
My Supplemental Brief is Ex 2 to this Petition for Rehearing...my Brief speaks for itself...and my Petition for a Rehearing is based on that Brief. My Petition for Rehearing yells and screams for attention to my missing Brief!
But no one from the Clerk’s Office said anything about my Brief being disqualified.
VII. Asst. Clerk Jimenez shows she is an authorized decision maker
As Asst. Clerk Jimenez and I “negotiated” whether or not she would accept my second Petition (Ex 7, received by the Clerk on June 24, see the UPS delivery receipt), she left this voice-message on the morning of June 27, at 9:05AM EDST (Ex 8, Ref 1):
“Hello, my name is Angela. I’m calling from the clerks office with the US Supreme Court in Washington DC returning your call. I have received your submission. I have not reviewed it yet. I will be reviewing it in the. If you have Any further questions feel free to call me back in 202-479-3392 thank you...”
Please note...she needs to review my “submission” to determine if it is acceptable...not take it to her coworker, not to her manager...she has the necessary authority.
Asst. Clerk Jimenez is not just the person who picks up at the end of the day, she is a trusted, responsible decision maker in the Clerk’s Office.
On July 1, Ms. Jimenez returned my earlier call, and we spoke for 10 minutes (as fast/ succinct as she is, we covered quite a lot [Ex 9]). She told me that she was not happy with the language of the title of my eplacement Petition (Ms. Jimenez did not like, and would not accept: “I DO NOT BELIEVE SO”). I asked about my Supplemental Brief. She said: “There is a copy in the file.” I said but it should be Docketed...there are people who are missing it...I said the Justices might even be missing it, to which she said: “There is a copy in the file.” I said I will not push/argue with any longer on this, but to me, there is something strange about this, even your own website explains how people can electronically access/obtain copies of pleadings...I said no one can do that for my Brief. She concluded with: “There is a copy in the file.” Nothing more...
VIII. Asst. Clerk Jimenez also rejected my 2nd Petition for Rehearing, making no mention, in talking, or in her review/rejection letter, of my extensive use of my missing Brief as the almost sole basis for my Petition for Rehearing
Yes, Asst. Clerk Jimenez rejected my second Petition for Rehearing (Ex 7), telling me that my having said: “I DON’T BELIEVE SO” in the title/header on the cover...disqualified it being from being a Petition for Rehearing (I “negotiated” with Asst. Clerk Jimenez for a week over this version).
Ms. Jimenez wanted my Petition to be about a Rehearing, I wanted it to be about a first time hearing...and she knew why: The Court having my Brief would be a first.
But that my “I don’t believe so” explanation was about my missing Supplemental Brief, so I was really looking for a first hearing, did not prompt any comment at all, such as:
“By the way, your Supplemental Brief was disqualified on May 13...sorry we didn’t tell you...or return either your May 8 or May 15 Briefs and copies.”
As the trusted, responsible Asst. Clerk of Court Ms. Jimenez is, she should have told me what she knew had happened to my Brief...not just: “There is a copy in the file.”
But in Asst. Clerk Jimenez’s rejection letter, besides telling what I needed to change, and on what schedule, she emphatically added (Ex 10, Ref 1):
“Please correct and resubmit as soon as possible.”
IX. I tried a third version of my Petition for Rehearing
Later that day, I sent my 3rd attempt for a Rehearing, dated July1, with a replacement cover letter and Petition for Rehearing. This version is again all about my Supplemental Brief having gone missing, and so not considered (Ex 11):
“PETITIONER’S RULE 44 PETITION FOR A REHEARING
(Or, is it for a first-time Hearing with my Petition/Supplemental Brief together?)
AND I BELIEVE THIS IS A PRAYER FOR MY PROPERLY SUBMITTED (but apparently misplaced/lost by someone at the Court) RULE 15.8 SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEF TO BE DOCKETED, DISTRIBUTED, AND AVAILABLE TO BE CONSIDERED IN A “COMPLETE PETITION PROCESS” WITH MY PETITION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
Synopsis: I properly submitted a Rule 15.8 Supplemental Brief. The Court received it on 5-16-24 (Ex 1). While I waited for my Brief to be Docketed; distributed for Conference; and considered at Conference (or returned, which it was not), the Court Denied my Petition. This Court did not see; nor did the Appeals Court, nor were a Friend of the Court allowed to see/respond/support my Brief. Thusly, my Petition needs a ReHearing, and it needs a first-time Complete Petition Process with my Brief being widely considered.”
I heard nothing from the Clerk’s Office about this July 1 version being all about/based on my Supplemental Brief, and so not an acceptable basis for a Rehearing. Although my Brief had been disqualified almost 2 months earlier at that time (2 months and 10 days by the time the Clerk’s Office came clean, which see below as Ex 15 on July 26).
This July 1 version (Ex 11) was accepted, and Docketed.
So I received 3 chances for this Petition...but not even a 2nd chance for my Supplemental Brief? (Let alone notice that my Brief was disqualified.)
X. As Ms. Jimenez was being evasive about my Brief, and I could not get a real answer to why it was not Docketed; distributed, and heard at Conference, I filed it again.
On July 16, I again attempted to file my Supplemental Brief (from Ex 12, Ref 1):
“It was 2 months ago today that you first received my Supplemental Brief (your Office has twice confirmed receipt of it), but which has not yet been Docketed.
Attached, you will please find a copy of my Brief as originally sent to you, with my signature of today, 7/16/24 added.
I would appreciate your Docketing my Brief dated today, but noting on the Docket that it was first received by your Office on 5/16/24, but due to something or another, it was not Docketed until 7/16/24.
I trust my Brief will be distributed to be considered with my Petition for a Rehearing.”
I then left Clerk of Court Harris 2 voice-messages (see Ex’s 13 and 14) suggesting we meet in early September to settle this matter of my missing Brief (my Petition for Rehearing had not yet been Docketed).
XI. The Clerk of Court admits/documents that he had sandbagged me since May 13
This time (for my Brief), the Clerk of Court quickly responded to my attempt to file my Brief. The Clerk quickly returned my July 16 version, my cover letter, and copies, and a letter which is a signed confession, admitting, they sandbagged me since May 13 (Ex 15):
Ref 3: “...was received by this office on May 13, 2024.” and a
Ref 4: “...determination was made at that time that the brief did not comply with Rule 15.8...”
Note 4: There is no Brief nor any other pleading dated May 13. There was a Brief dated May 8, but it was voided/pulled; and there is a “missing” Brief dated May 15.
Note 5: So if they did make a determination on May 13, it could have only been done by the May 8/an incorrect/pulled/voided Brief. How can this Court not correct that?
So...the Clerk of Court admitted they disqualified my Supplemental Brief on May 13, (again, there is no May 13 Brief); but said nothing to me...until July 26 (Ex 15).
That is a quintessential example of sandbagging.
Again, out of the 10 pleadings of mine that the Clerk’ Office determined to be faulty, there are only 2 that I was not given the opportunity to correct, and that were not returned to me...my 2 yet missing Supplemental Brief’s (May 8 and May 15).
I note that the Clerk’s Office giving me notice of my Brief being disqualified on July 26, is 2 months and 10 days after they received my Supplemental Brief, with cover letter, begging for their help (Ex 3); and it was 2 months less 4 days after the Conference (on May 30) at which my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus was Denied.
The Clerk of Court, and his staff, hid that they had disqualified my Brief, saying nothing, in spite of dozens of contacts, and multiple pleadings I submitted, that relied upon my Brief. The Clerk’s Office acted errantly, corruptly, and without conscience.
I note that although the Clerk of Court returned my July 16 version, he did not return/ include my May 8 and/or my May 15 versions (Ex’s 3 and 4), and he still has not.
XII. MOTION TO VACATE
I hereby Motion the Court to Vacate its Denial of my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus on May 30/June 3, and begin my Petition process again, but this time, consider with my Petition with my still missing, but (twice) properly filed Supplemental Brief.
XIII. CONCLUSION
The Clerk’s Office killed my Petition for a Mandamus, by manipulating standard processes, for my Supplemental Brief, to prevent it from being considered by the Justices, or made public. Why? (What was his sandbagging me/my Brief for?)
They did this because my Brief exposes my Appeal Panel of 3 GOP Judges at the Ninth Circuit acting corruptly to Affirm a GOP District Court Chief Judge; who had errantly acted to protect several of his fellow Arizona GOP Power Elites...and the Clerk of the Supreme Court either himself, and/or with someone else, decided to evade this reality.
This is a reality that would have forced the Justices to grant my Petition.
The Clerk of Court acted to protect the powers at be, at the cost of my right to Justice.
The Clerk of Court did this, in part, by not notifying me there were any alleged faults in my Brief, as they did not want to alert me to the fact that they were tanking my Brief, and they did not want me to expect that I would have had the opportunity to correct my Brief, to resubmit it, as I was allowed/encouraged to with every other pleading the Clerk’s Office told me needed correcting.
That is why Mr. Harris did not return either my May 8 Brief version/copies or my May 15 version /copies, as is their standard process, as returning them would have been a huge red flag that a fraud on the Court was in process.
Why didn’t Mr. Harris react as quickly on May 8 and May 15... as he did on every other pleading, including my July 16 attempt to again file my Brief? He was sandbagging me.
In spite of numerous calls between myself and Asst. Clerk Jimenez (see numerous phone log Exhibits in my letter to Mr. Harris (Ex 1), discussing my June 3 Petition for Reconsideration; my June 20 Petition for Rehearing; and my July 1 Petition for Rehearing, and other matters...over a 2 ½ month period, from May 8 through July 26...the Clerk’s Office did not say a word about my Brief having been disqualified on May 13, and would only say: “There is a copy in the file.” This is sandbagging.
Why didn’t Ms. Jimenez say something? She was told not to. This is sandbagging.
Respectfully,
William “Will” A. Graven, In Pro Se Petitioner/Appellant/Plaintiff
Date: August 13, 2024
Update 8/8/24: Here is my Letter and Exhibits, to Clerk of Court Scott Harris, described earlier today…
Will Graven

Flagstaff, AZ 86001
Email: will@willgraven.com; Phone: 928-890-8825
Mr. Scott Harris, August 8, 2024
Clerk of the Supreme Court of the United States;
Mr. Danny Bickell, Asst to Mr. Harris; and
CC: Ms. Angela Jimenez, Asst. Clerk
1 First Street, NE; Washington, DC 20543
Re: Your letter of July 26, 2024, regarding my Case No. 23-7130.
Mr. Harris and Mr. Bickell:
You killed my Petition for a Mandamus, by manipulating standard processes, for my Supplemental Brief, to prevent it from being considered by the Justices, or made public.
You did this because my Brief exposes my Appeal Panel of 3 GOP Judges at the Ninth Circuit acting corruptly to Affirm a GOP District Court Chief Judge; who had errantly acted to protect several of his fellow Arizona GOP Power Elites...and you did not want this corrupt reality to become public.
This is a reality that would have forced the Justices to grant my Petition, and it would have been scandalous. You acted to protect the powers at be, at the cost of my right to Justice.
You did this, in part, by not notifying me there were any alleged faults in my Brief, as you did not want to alert me to the fact that you were tanking my Brief, and you did not want me to ask/expect that I would have had the opportunity to correct my Brief, to resubmit it, as I had been able to with any other pleading that your Office told me needed correcting.
That is why you did not return either my May 8 Brief version/copies or my May 15 version /copies, as is your standard process. I note you still have not returned them.
Here are 3 more of your clandestine acts of cleverness (you should move over to the CIA):
1.) I highlighted my Brief in my 1st Petition for Reconsideration (on 6/3), you did not say anything about my Brief being disqualified (e.g., “Oh by the way, your Brief was ...”);
2.) I again highlighted my Brief in my 1st Petition for Rehearing (6/20), which you rejected, but said nothing of my Brief;
3.) I again highlighted my Brief in my 2nd Petition for Rehearing (7/1), which you accepted, but said nothing of my Brief. The basis of my Rehearing is my missing Brief.
I now understand, why, when I repeatedly asked your staff why my Brief was not yet Docketed, I always received the same rehearsed/mechanical answer: “There is a copy in the file.” You instructed your staff to be a part of your fraud, by telling them to not say a word to me about your having “disqualified” my Brief (which see your staff perform).I note that by your cleverness, you hid my Brief and the fact that you were sandbagging me until well after my Conference on 5/30; and well after I filed my Petition for Rehearing.
You are kidding yourselves if you think I will quietly accept your sandbagging me on a major pleading, to then claim I did not follow the Rules. I believe what you have done is commonly known as fraud.
I will show you by 4 Sections here how badly you have documented yourselves as errant:
I.) A Brief Review of your letter dated July 26, 2024;
II.) How Faulty Pleadings are Actually Handled by the Clerk of the US Supreme Court;
III.) An Example of the Cooperative Nature for How Faulty Pleadings were Actually Handled Between Will Graven and the Clerk of the US Supreme Court; and
IV.) A Detailed History of our Interactions.
I. A Brief Review of your letter dated July 26, 2024
In your letter (which see Brief Review Ex 1, as attached), you stated/admitted, that by a “determination” which you “made at that time” (May 13), my Brief did not meet the requirements of Rule 15.8.
But before addressing your canard of a “determination,” I want to comment on your (Ref 1) “RE: Letter of July 16, 2024,” and your first line (Ref 2): “This letter is in response to your letter of July 16, 2024.”
No Mr. Harris and Mr. Bickell, you are not responding to my letter of July 16...you are responding to my letter of May 15 (which see my May 15 letter as Brief Review Ex 2), which you should have responded to 2 1/2 months ago; and you should have rescheduled my Conference by, as I offered (2 months/10 days earlier, to be exact).
In your letter, you claimed my Brief (BR Ex 1 Ref 3) “was received by this office on May 13, 2024.” and a (BR Ex Ref 4): “determination was made at that time that the brief did not comply with Rule 15.8...”
But you do not have a pleading from me dated May 13 (I am using your standard procedure, referring to pleadings as being received as of the date they were handed over to a carrier/delivery service).
You did not yet have a copy of my Supplemental Brief on Monday the 13th...you did not have copy until it arrived Thursday the 16th, with my detailed cover letter, which you have not referred to, at all (BR Ex 2).
And as your “determination was made...” by my May 8th version, which was pulled at my request by “Laurie,” (I sent you the wrong version, which see) in your Office, which she confirmed; so you made your determination by a voided pleading.
Let me provide you the actual facts here, which you apparently thought your letter could make invisible...your letter, the grand finale to your fraud of making my Brief vanish:I mistakenly sent you an incorrect version of my Supplemental brief on May 8; which you received from me on Friday morning, May 10 (which see later, the pleading and the FedEx delivery receipt]). But by sometime first thing Monday morning, May 13, my FedEx envelope had been pulled from circulation in your Office; due to my voicemessages of later Sunday afternoon the 12th; and Monday morning the 13th; for which I received a call in response to my voicemessages, confirming that the envelope had then already been pulled; and at which time I was asked what I would like done with the pleading; to which I responded that I hate to trouble you with sending it back; to which I was told that is your standard procedure; to which I responded: yes, that is certainly what I have experienced, and so I thank you for that; and I added, oh by the way, you don’t need to bother with a cover letter; to which the woman I was speaking with said thank you, and that she would drop the envelope off to your mailroom and ask for everything to be sent back to me. On Tuesday the 14th, I learned that FedEx had sent my Replacement Brief to Dover, NH; and that I would need to resend my Brief; which I did the next day, Wednesday the 15th; which arrived your Offices on the 16th. I described the ordeal I had gone through to be able to send you a replacement for my lost FedEx package. I left a voicemessage at your Office regarding the delay. Due to the delays, I stated in my cover letter to my Replacement Brief:
“I desperately would like this Supplemental Brief to be considered with my Petition, including, if you need to reschedule my Petition for a later conference, I wholeheartedly would accept that.” (Why didn’t you do this for me? I’m guessing delays do occur.)
Please turn to my letter of May 15th, which is the cover letter to my replacement Supplemental Brief that I asked be filed (see Brief Review Ex 2, attached [and see the FedEx delivery receipt as the last page to this Ex]):
Ref 1: “I mistakenly sent you the wrong version, on the afternoon of Wednesday, May 8.”;
Ref 2: “...and so called Sunday (12th) evening, leaving a voice-message,...” (see phone records as Ex 3);
Ref 3: “...and then again Monday (13th) morning,...” (see phone records as Ex 4);
Ref 4: “...asking if you could throw that version out,...”;
Ref 5: “...and by the courtesy of “Laurie,” she called me to say she would take care of that. (Thank you Laurie!) .” (see phone records as Ex 5);
Ref 6: “...but they sent my envelope to Dover, NH.”;
Ref 7: “I called and left a voicemessage regarding the delay.” (see phone records as Ex 6);
Ref 8: “I have just spent almost 10 hours traveling from the bush in British Columbia, to Bellingham, WA, to resend the enclosed...please use this letter and version, to help me try to get (push) this through your process(es), before Conference on May 30 (or, for a later Conference, which see).”
Ref 9: “I desperately would like this Supplemental Brief to be considered with my Petition, including, if you need to reschedule my Petition for a later conference, I wholeheartedly would accept that.”
Mr. Harris and Mr. Bickell: Which part of my being desperate/begging for your help wasn’t clear? (But how naive of me...you weren’t guided by serving Justice, or me...)
And Mr. Harris and Mr. Bickell: What pleading are you claiming to have received on May 13, and made a “determination” by? You had no pleading; you had voicemessages and staff who knew I had pulled my May 8 version (and my version to be filed was not received by your Office until May 16); and your staff were to return my May 8 version and copies to me (which you just did with my July 16 re-file; and as is your standard procedure for faulty pleadings [which see me discuss such in Sec’s II and III]); and as you rejected my Brief, where are my at least 10 returned copies? (10, if you in fact put a copy in my file [Ref 9], but then we all know “ the brief was added to the file” is smoke and mirrors on your part). Why have you ignored my May 15 letter? Where are those 11 copies?
II.) How Faulty Pleadings are Actually Handled by the Clerk of the
US Supreme Court
On 10 different occasions in my dealings with the Supreme Court, I sent a document/ pleading that was to the wrong party; and/or had other errors; and/or was a document I sent in error, and asked to be pulled...and 8 times, the Clerk of Court returned that document/ pleading back to me (including even my original cover letter); with detailed instructions as to what I had done wrong (often, reference materials were included, which see); and every time with at least 1 phone call (on several occasions, this involved several calls, which see); explaining my error, with detailed instructions how to correct my errors; and how much time I had to make those corrections, and resubmit; the Court often acted on the same day they received my error filled pleading, but was almost always within a two or three days (but as per above, it took you 2 ½ months to act on my Briefs of May 7 and 15).
Oh, and what of the 2 of the 10 times my pleadings weren’t returned/nothing was said?
Not coincidentally, they are my Supplemental Briefs of May 7 and 15 (which are still missing). Now you are trying to complete your bastardization of Justice by having first concealed, then retroactively disqualifying those pleadings, with your July 16 letter.
I must first say, in spite of my having no legal training, nor any real sense of how the black magic of law is practiced, I never felt any angst nor impatience by the Clerk’s staff who had contacted me, and were trying to walk me through what I had done wrong, and needed to fix, to try again (as embarrassing as this is, it once took me a 3rd try/document to have the Clerk’s Office approve/accept/Docket it).
It is the 9th and 10th times that are at the root of my allegations here, and as has been described above by an overview of the errant acts it took to commit fraud on this Court, Lady Justice, the American Public, and me, by a party or parties within the Clerk’s Office.
I would like to demonstrate how well the Clerk assists us In Pro Se’s, with their expertise, and great patience. (I have often been reminded, by your staff’s immeasurably important and patient assistance, of what Justice Black was quoted to have said sometime in the early 50’s...something to the effect that if the Right to Self Representation had not been included with the Bill of Rights, and acted on by the first Session of the 1st Congress, it is doubtful the Constitution would have been ratified [taxation without representation was the Colonialists’ biggest gripe, but the tyranny of the English Courts was a close second]):
Faulty Pleading Ex 1: See my letter with Exhibits to Justice Kagan on 2/23/24 (which I thought I could do under Rule 22), returned with an overview of why my letter was being returned; and an extremely insightful bit of legal advice: How to file a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari, and the timing I needed to be mindful of. A copy of the Court’s Rules was included, as well a sample petition of certiorari.
Ex 2: See my letter with Exhibits to Justice Kagan on 2/29/24returned with an overview of why my letter was being returned; and an extremely insightful bit of legal advice: How to file a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari, and the timing I needed to be mindful of. A copy of the Court’s Rules was included, as well a sample petition of certiorari.
Note 1: I had an issue with receiving my mail at this time, and was not aware I was receiving the Court’s letters, and so the error of my (4) letters to Justice Kagan were not known to me until the Clerk of the Court’s Office called me in late-March. I learned a great deal in that first phone call.
Ex 3: See my letter with Exhibits to Justice Kagan on 3/5/24 returned with an overview of why my letter was being returned; and an extremely insightful bit of legal advice: How to file a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari, and the timing I needed to be mindful of. A copy of the Court’s Rules was included, as well a sample petition of certiorari.
Ex 4: See my letter with Exhibits to Justice Kagan on 3/5/24 returned with an overview of why my letter was being returned; and an extremely insightful bit of legal advice: How to file a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari, and the timing I needed to be mindful of. A copy of the Court’s Rules was included, as well a sample petition of certiorari.
I submitted a Petition for a Writ of Mandamus on 3/28/24; it was Docketed on 4/1/24; and the Ninth Circuit was Ordered to respond by May 2. The Ninth Circuit did not Respond.
Ex 5: See Mr. Donald Baker of the Clerk of Court’s Office write me explaining that my Reply to the Ninth Circuit’s “non response” did not translate to my being able to file a Reply. But, Mr. Baker was extremely helpful in explaining that if I wished to supplement my case, I could do so in the form of a supplemental brief, under Rule 15.8. Mr. Baker included a copy of the Court’s Rules.
Please note the date of Mr. Baker’s latter: May 8, 2024.
Ex 6: See my 1st Supplemental Brief (this is the May 8 Brief that arrived the Court on May 10, which I then had pulled/returned to me Monday morning the 13th, as confirmed by “Laurie” in the Clerk’s Office, and for which she stated she would drop my error filled Brief off at the mailroom to be returned.
This is the (voided by me/by Laurie’s pulling it from circulation) version by which Mr. Bickell claims he made a “determination” that my Brief did not fall within the Rules.
Please note the date of my Brief: 5/8/24: The same day Mr. Baker was writing me from the Clerk’s Office, telling me my Reply pleading was not acceptable, and suggesting I file a Supplemental Brief.
How could I be responding to his letter the same day, before it was even sent? See Ex 7.
Ex 7: See a screenshot of my phone calls log, please note a call I received dated, coincidentally, May 8, and see that it was a call from the Clerk of the US Supreme Court.
Per my rhetorical question just above: How could I be responding the same day? Because since I started receiving calls from the Clerk’s Office (late March), I already knew my Reply was being disqualified; that a Supplemental Brief was being suggested; and, with the multiple copies of the Rules that I had received, I had already been able to start preparing a Supplemental Brief, even before Mr. Baker had finished writing me (in fact, I was just waiting to hear [per Ex 7] that he was putting his letter in the mail, to send my Brief).
Ex 8: See my cover letter to my 2nd (replacement) Supplemental Brief (my May 15 version), as discussed above in “A Brief Review,” Ex 2. I have this letter here, to demonstrate that not only did the Clerk’s Office at times reject my submitted pleading... they also allowed me to reject/pull my own pleadings (see Ex 8 Ref’s 1 – 5) when I discovered an error(s).
Ex 9: As described above, the Supreme Court was set to consider my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus at Conference on May 30, at which time they voted to Deny my Petition, which was posted on 6/3/24. That very afternoon, I filed this Petition for Reconsideration.
Ex 10: First, please look at page 2, and see my cover letter to my Petition for Reconsideration dated 6/3/24...and see the Clerk’s Received stamp as 6/6/24. And now, note the date of the letter, sending my Petition back: June 6. So, Received by the Clerk, and returned in the same day. And of course, the letter tells me what to do to make good, and (Ref 1): “Please correct and resubmit as soon as possible.”
Please note: There is no comment in the Court’s cover letter informing me that they noted my Petition for Reconsideration was in part based on a Brief (my Supplemental Brief), that they had disqualified 3 weeks earlier, and so by your Rules, the usage of that pleading is invalid; i.e., I should not have used an invalid pleading.
Ex 11: This is my response to the Clerk’s Office returning my Petition for Reconsideration, as there is no such Petition...it is properly called a “Petition for Rehearing.” Please note my bit of sarcasm:
“IS THIS A RULE 44 PETITION FOR A REHEARING?
I DO NOT BELIEVE SO.”
My sarcasm was due to I did not believe I was for a Rehearing...but a first time Hearing...but his time with my missing Supplemental Brief ((which see my cover letter go on and one about my missing Brief).
The “I DO NOT BELIEVE SO” will lead a number of “debates” between Ms. Angela Jimenez, Asst Clerk, and myself, and result in the Clerk’s Office rejecting this version of my Petition for Rehearing (which see below as Ex’s 12 and 13 on July 8).
Note 2: I believed this Petition about a first, complete, Hearing, not a Rehearing.
Note 3: Although my cover letter is based on my Brief; the Petition itself is based on my Brief; and my Brief is Ex 2; all of these make it clear my Petition is based on the Justices needing to consider my Petition for a Mandamus, with my Supplemental Brief; the Clerk’s Office will not say a word about your having disqualified my Brief, without giving me chance to correct and resubmit, or return my 2 originals (May 8 and May 15), and 10 copies of each, as they did for ever other pleading you see here.
Note 4: My efforts for Rehearing without my Brief, are likely wasted efforts...but the Clerk’s Office said nothing, as outlined above (i.e., the sandbagged me).
Ex 12: This is the Clerk’s Office telling me I need to correct and replace, what is already on the way, because we had discussed, even “negotiated” my Ex 12. But “I do not believe so” voided that version.
Ex 13: This is another one of those instances, where my resubmission is dated the same day as the being rejected/returned pleading I am replacing. This Exhibit is my replacement Petition for Rehearing (replacing Ex 11).
Note 5: See Ex’s 11, 12, and 13 as the basis for the next Section: “III. An Example of the Cooperative Nature for How Faulty Pleadings are Actually Handled by the Clerk of the US Supreme Court.”
Ex 14: This Exhibit is my trying to re-file my missing Supplemental Brief (which the Clerk’s Office staff will only respond to my demanding to know where it is, with” “There is a copy in the file.”
Ex 15: Oh, now the Clerk’s Office will follow procedure and return errant pleadings...in part, because I refilled my Brief; and in part, because I left Mr. Harris 3 voicemessages asking to meet in early September, to settle this issue. Why didn’t you return my May 8 and May 15 Briefs, earlier...or even now?
Conclusion to Section II: The Clerk’s Office was wonderfully helpful; patient; and most of all, flexible... allowing my personal In Pro Se incompetence, with no demeaning responses by the exceptionally bright and talented staff of the Clerk’s Office.
But you sandbagged me...not letting me you allegedly had issues with my Brief; not returning my originals and/or copies. And you kept me in the dark, until 2 months after Conference, and 6 weeks after I filed my original Petition for Reconsideration. This is a fraud scheme to protect GOP Judges.
III.) An Example of the Cooperative Nature for How Faulty Pleadings were Actually Handled between Will Graven and the Clerk of the
US Supreme Court
As an example of how well your staff and I have worked together (except, apparently, someone telling your staff to not tell me my Supplemental Brief had been rejected, since May 13), I would like to review one particularly interactive exchange between myself and Ms. Jimenez.
The point here, and as you saw in Section II: Your office is interactive, supportive, patient...and that is a part of what made it obvious: You sandbagged me on the matter of my Brief.
As I mentioned above, the interactive exchange between myself and Ms. Jimenez in those Ex’s 11, 12, 13, and Note 3, you will see the depth of our cooperation, and the dark contrast to what you did to me/my Supplemental Briefs.
Cooperation Ex 1: As described above, the Supreme Court was to consider my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus at Conference on May 30, at which time they voted to Deny my Petition, which was posted on 6/3/24 (the Justices did not, of course, have my Supplemental Brief...you did). That very same day, I filed this Petition for Reconsideration (on 6/3/24).
Ex 2: This is the Clerk’s Office telling me I needed to correct and resubmit my Petition of 6/3/24 (Ref 1), that there is no such Petition as a Petition for Reconsideration. Please note, the Clerk’s Office received my Petition on 6/6, and Ms. Jimenez wrote on that same day (not 2 ½ months later, as you did in your July 26 letter).
Please note: There is no comment in the Court’s cover letter informing me that they noted my Petition for Reconsideration was in part based on a Brief (my Supplemental Brief [see page 2]), that they had disqualified 3 weeks earlier, and so by your Rules, the usage of that pleading is invalid; i.e., I should not have used an invalid pleading.
Ex 3: This Exhibit is my replacement Petition for Rehearing (replacing Ex 1). This is a “real” Petition for Rehearing. Please note my May 15 Supplemental Brief is Ex 2. Please note I even included my May 15 cover letter, and FedEx delivery receipt, to explain why it had not arrived later. See the delivery date for this Exhibit by UPS as Monday, June 24.
Note 6: Ms. Jimenez will reject this draft (which see Ex 14). And although my cover letter; my Petition for Rehearing; and my Ex 2, the Brief, are all about my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus being mistakenly Denied because the Justices did not have my Brief at Conference (on 5/30), Ms. Jimenez will say nothing to be about my Brief having been “determined” to fall within the Rules. She did tell me, when I asked, she doesn’t know what happens to pleadings after they are received in the Clerk’s Office (which see below).
Ex 4: This Exhibit is a screenshot of my phone logs of my calling Ms. Jimenez on the morning of June 25, to ask if she had received my Replacement Petition for a Rehearing.
Ex 5: Ms. Jimenez must have seen my call, as she called me back within the same minute (6:33AM). She quickly told me that she had received my voicemail from Saturday evening; that not received my Replacement Petition (received by the Clerk’s Office the day before, June 24); and I asked why my Supplemental Brief had not been Docketed, to which she confirmed they had received my Brief on May 16, and explained that there is a copy of it in my file; and that she does not handle/does not know what happens to pleadings after they leave her Office, so she could not comment on why it had not been Docketed.
Ex 6: Following my conversation with Ms. Jimenez, I texted my very good friend Harry about my call with Ms. Jimenez.
Ex 7: Following my text to Harry regarding conversation with Ms. Jimenez, I texted my very close friend Laura about my call with Ms. Jimenez.
Ex 8: I called Ms. Jimenez on the afternoon of June 26, asking if she had received my replacement Petition for Rehearing yet.
Ex 9: The next morning (June 27), Ms. Jimenez called at 9:05AM EDST, leaving the following voicemessage:
“Hello, my name is Angela. I’m calling from the clerks office with the US Supreme Court in Washington DC returning your call. I have received your submission. I have not reviewed it yet. I will be reviewing it in the. If you have Any further questions feel free to call me back in 202-479-3392 thank you...”
Ex 10: On Sunday evening, June 30, I called and left Ms. Jimenez a voicemessage asking about the status of her accepting my replacement Petition for Rehearing.
Ex 11: On Monday morning, July 1, Ms. Jimenez called at 9:30AM EDST, leaving the following voicemessage:
“Hello, my name is Angela. I’m calling from the clerks office with the US supreme court returning your phone call. Feel free to give me a call back at 2-20479-3392 two thank you...”
Ex 12: On that Monday morning, July 1, I returned Ms. Jimenez’s earlier, leaving her a voicemessage at 7:34AM RMST.
Ex 13: Four minutes later, Ms. Jimenez returned my call, and we spoke for 10 minutes (as fast/succinct as she is, we covered quite a lot). She told me that she was happy with the language of the title of my replacement Petition (as I mentioned above in Section II, Ex 11, she did not like: “I DO NOT BELIEVE SO”). I asked about my Supplemental Brief. She said: “There is a copy in the file.” I said but it should be Docketed...there are people who are missing it...I said the Justices might even be missing it, to which she said: “There is a copy in the file.” I said I will not push/argue with any longer on this, but to me, there is something strange about this, even your own website explains how people can electronically access/obtain copies of pleadings...I said no one can do that for my Brief.
I asked her to let me know what she decides on the language of my replacement Petition as soon as she can (I told her I had been reviewing my as-submitted draft, for changes that she might want).
Ms. Jimenez made no comment about your having “disqualified” my Supplemental Brief 7 weeks earlier.
Ex 14: Ms. Jimenez called me back a few minutes later and said she could not accept “I DO NOT BELIEVE SO” in my title; and I apologized for being so much trouble. She said she would return it, and I said I would send her off a “new and improved” version yet today.
Ex 15: Ms. Jimenez returned my June 20 draft (which was replacement to my June first Petition for Reconsideration). There is no comment in the Court’s cover letter informing me that my Petition for Reconsideration was in part based on a Brief (my Supplemental Brief) that they disqualified 3 weeks earlier. By your Rules, I should not have used a voided pleading.
Ex 16: I sent my now approved by Ms. Jimenez Petition for Rehearing...which is based on my Supplemental Brief.
We had a great working relationship (except for her hiding the truth about my Supplemental Brief), and this example was a representative effort by us.
IV. A Detailed History of our Interactions
I yet have upwards of 40 more bits and pieces of what I could fill this Section with...but you know where you are...what you have done...so I will just conclude.
CONCLUSION
As I began to write you, I found myself wondering, as you have documented/admitted you “mishandled” my Supplemental Brief, and so killed my best chance for a Writ of Mandamus to correct documented corrupt acts at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, I find myself wondering if you will do the right thing(s), to restore Justice to my Petition process here, or will you make excuses, perhaps even try to gaslight me, as you did with your July 26 letter...or will just ignore me, as you did for almost 2 ½ months, while my American Right to EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW slipped away.
It wasn’t until I re-filed my Supplemental Brief on 7/16/24, and that I left Mr. Harris 3 voicemessages (after attempting to re-file my Brief), about meeting to discuss your not having filed my Supplemental Brief, that you started to come clean.
I hope you continue to come clean...
Sincerely,
Will Graven, In Pro Se; as Petitioner, Appellant, Plaintiff
Update 8/8/24: I wrote to the Clerk of the Supreme Court, Scott Harris [click here], asking him to take corrective action for his and his staff’s having sandbagged me/my Supplemental Brief.
I properly submitted a Rule 15.8 Supplemental Brief, which the Clerk received on 5/16/24.
While I was waiting for my Brief to be Docketed; distributed; and considered at Conference on May 30 (or returned, which it was not); the Court Denied my Petition.
The Clerk “sandbagged” me/my Brief, i.e., the Clerk did not return either of my Brief’s (one sent in error, and one filed); nor did the Clerk notice me, until Jul 26, that he had “disqualified” my Brief on May 13!
Thusly, the Court did not see/consider my Brief; nor did the Appeals Court see it, to possibly be prompted to Respond; nor was the Public allowed to see it, possibly prompting support.
My Brief exposes 3 GOP Appeals Judges at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal using a forged Docket to make false case law citations by; to Affirm a GOP District Court Chief Judge; who had acted errantly to Dismiss my Complaint against several of his Arizona GOP Power elites.
I am confronted with/fighting corruption at all 3 levels of our Federal Courts.
Update 8/3/24: Since receiving Asst Clerk of the Supreme Court Danny Bickell’s letter of 7/26/24 this past Wednesday the 31st (as reported in my “Update 8/2/24” yesterday, which see), by which he represented/signed for Mr Scott Harris, the Clerk of the Supreme Court, I have spent a number of hours trying to avoid what have become several inescapable conclusions to what the Clerk of the Supreme Court has done to Lady Justice, and me…net/net:
They have cheated (screwed) us/me, and they have made it obvious.
I really do not want to think this, nor experience it, but Asst Clerk Bickell actually documented their errant behavior, almost in the form of a signed confession, and doing so very directly, very simply, admitting what they had done to me/my Brief.
Let’s take another look his letter, beginning at Ref 1, with [click here ]:
“This letter is in response to your letter of July 16, 2024.”
No it isn’t, and he admitted it’s not at Ref 2 [click here ]:
“Your supplemental brief to your petition for a writ of mandamus in case No. 23-7130 was received by this office on May 13, 2024.”
So his letter is actually in response to my letter and Supplemental Brief filed on 5/8/24...and as will be seen, the Brief version submitted on the 8th, was thrown out (at my request), and it is the Brief I submitted on 5-15-24 that the Clerk should have addressed.
In other words, by my 5/15/24 date, the Clerk is writing 2 months and 11 days after the Clerk’s Office received my Brief.
And see Asst Clerk Bickell admit at Ref 3 that [click here]:
“A determination was made at that time...” (This is not a recent decision!)
Which time? Which see just before his quote, at Ref 2 [click here]:
“...May 13, 2024.”
They sure didn’t tell me “…at that time!"
So, by my 5/15/24 date, he is writing to tell me that 2 months and 11 days earlier, that “a determination was made at that time” that my Brief allegedly did not comply with Rule 15.8.
This is the only pleading the Clerk’s Office did not notify me of a possible deficiency, and allow me the opportunity to fix it (see at least 4 examples tomorrow of their having allowed me to fix other pleadings).
I note that the Supreme Court Conference at which my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus was to be considered, was on 5/30/24...2 months less 4 days before he wrote me.
Please see in my cover letter to my 5/15/24 Supplemental Brief filing (Asst Clerk Bickell is wrong about his 5/13/24 date, which see below) at Ref 1 [click here], that:
“I desperately would like this Supplemental Brief to be considered with my Petition, including, if you need to reschedule my Petition for a later Conference, I wholeheartedly would accept that.”
I note that my Petition was Denied at that Conference on 5/30/24, without, of course, my disqualified Brief.
And I note, emphatically, the version Asst Clerk is basing his letter on (per his letter, 5/13/24), and basing their decision on, is wrong, and was thrown out by another Asst Clerk, back on that very day (by another Asst Clerk), as can be seen in my cover letter to my 5/15/24 filing, at Ref’s 2 and 3 [click here ], see the accompanying Brief [click here ]:
“In my anxiousness to re-file my Reply, as a Rule 15.8 Supplemental Brief, I mistakenly sent you the wrong version, on the afternoon of Wednesday, May 8.
In reviewing my Supplemental Brief over this past weekend, May 11-12, I realized I had sent you the wrong version, and so called Sunday (12th) evening, leaving a voice-message, and then again Monday (13th) morning, asking if you could throw that version out, and allow me to replace it...and by the courtesy of “Laurie,” she called to me she would take care of that. (Thank you Laurie!)”
And see Asst Clerk Bickell admit at Ref 4 that my Brief [click here]:
“...does not appear on the docket,” (But, of course, it would not, after secretly being disqualified).
So…out of the dozens of times that I have had contact with different parties at the Clerk of the Supreme Court’s Office, since they received my Supplemental Brief on 5/16/24…not once did anyone from the Clerk’s Office say anything about my Brief being disqualified, until this letter which I received on July 31, 2024. (which see many of those dozens of times in the next Update, which will include a hell-raising letter to the Clerk of the Supreme Court).
The Clerk of the Supreme Court has grossly cheated Lady Justice, and me.
So, in a final death knell my Petition for a Rehearing for my Denied Writ of Mandamus, which was Distributed the day before Asst Clerk Bickell’s letter, it will be left to rot without my Brief being Docketed (“docketed,” aka, readily seen/referenced by the Justices, who live by the e-Docket, of course).
Update 8/2/24: Like most people, I am fed up with gaslighting.
The just recent Director of the Secret Service claimed she had not posted a SS sniper on the roof where would-be sniper Crooks shot former President Trump and others from, because the roof was too steep, and so too dangerous to post one of her people there (as a former developer and contractor of steel buildings [one of which was large enough to cover 2 US football fields, clear-span], I can say the assassin’s roof was almost flat [perhaps more so than the 2 buildings where she did have snipers posted]).
And now the acting Director, in explaining why the SS and local law enforcement had not communicated prior to the shooting (because they couldn’t, technically, at that rally), stating that while it is technically possible, it would have taken months of planning...for a single, short/maybe 8 hour event.
Regardless of one’s politics, we immediately knew these 2 people were flat-out lying, I mean gaslighting, us.
On May 16, the Clerk of the US Supreme Court received my Supplemental Brief [click here].
I was expecting my Brief to be Docketed, of course, and Distributed for Conference on May 30, to be considered with my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus to the Ninth Circuit.
My Brief details “Someone” at the Ninth Circuit repeatedly forging the Docket to my Appeal there (by claims not seen in District Court); and my Appeal Panel of 3 GOP Judges Affirming the 1st of 2 Orders of Dismissal I appealed, through false Case Law Citations based on those forgeries (for a GOP District Judge, and GOP Defendants). My Petition for a Writ of Mandamus details my Appeal Panel refusing to rule on the 2nd Order I had appealed, and that was argued On-Appeal, by both sides, but my Petition did not cover/detail the forgeries, and their usage, as my Brief does (hence, the reason for my Brief).
While waiting for my Brief to be Docketed (or returned, which it wasn’t [please see Note 1]), Distributed, and considered, May 30 came, but my Brief was nowhere to be seen.
Note 1: Four times now I have submitted pleadings that the Clerk of the Supreme Court has rejected. I received a call each time, with an Asst Clerk explaining why my pleading was being rejected; what I needed to do to correct/accomplish what I was attempting; and the Asst Clerk would ask if I wanted my rejected pleading returned, or simply thrown away. This call would come the day of or the day after they received my pleading, which would be followed that day or a day later with a cover letter and my rejected pleading. Sometimes, after a bit of back and forth, my pleading would be accepted.
One June 3, the Supreme Court Denied my Petition for a Mandamus [click here].
I submitted a Motion for Reconsideration, which was rejected, and which I replaced with a Rule 44 Petition for a Rehearing [click here] (which was finally approved, after a bit of back and forth, on 7/9/24, but Docketed as 6/3/24, and then Distributed on July 25, and so is currently pending [click here]).
I began asking about my missing Brief (I believed its being missing is why my Petition for a Mandamus was Denied), and I was told on 3 separate occasions (by an Asst Clerk) that it would not be Docketed, but “A copy is in the file.” (As described throughout various “Updates” below.)
On July 16, I Re-filed my Supplemental Brief [click here] (I was/am desperate to make certain the Justices are seeing it, and will see it for my Rehearing).
Please see my full “Update 7/17/24” below, but which starts like this:
“Update 7/17/24: The Supreme Court has been evading Docketing my Supplemental Brief as described in several Updates below (yesterday was the 2 month anniversary of the Court receiving my Brief, which the Clerk of the Supreme Court has confirmed, twice).”
And please see my “Footnote” to that Update (and the Asst Clerk confirming a 3rd time they have it, including their having received in on 5/16/24, but that they would not be posting it...as “A copy is in the file.”).
For the 3rd time, over a 2 month period, no reason was given as to why my Brief would not be Docketed (except that “A copy is in the file.”).
I made a lot of noise within this website (and to Congress), questioning why the Supreme Court was hiding my Brief. (It couldn’t be because my Brief exposes GOP corruption at the Ninth Circuit, and below, could it?)
Earlier this week (7/30/24), I received a letter from a Mr Bickell in the Clerk’s Office [click here], apparently writing on behalf of the Clerk of the Supreme Court, Mr Scott Harris (returning my Re-filed Supplemental Brief, from 7-16/24, but not the original from 5/16/24).
Mr Bickell now claims, after 2 months and 10 days (his letter is date 7/26/24), post receiving my original Supplemental Brief (which he also confirmed), that my Brief did not comply with Rule 15.8.
Two months and 10 days?
What happened to 1, 2, or 3 days?
What happened to letting me know there was a problem with one my pleadings, and giving me some idea of how to overcome whatever the supposed deficiency was?
The Supreme Court is gaslighting me. It did not 2 months and 10 for this all to happen.
They are doing this to hide GOP corruption at the Ninth Circuit, to protect 3 GOP Panel Judges, who acted errantly to protect a District Court GOP Judge, who acted errantly to protect several of his fellow Arizona GOP Power Elites.
I had not posted to this website since receiving Mr Bickell’s letter, as I was saddened to see our Supreme Court hiding the information in my Brief (rather than seeking to fix these injustices), and their so obviously resorting to gaslighting.
In closing, for those that have seen what my allegations of forging are about: One of the forgeries used by my Appeal Panel was “Someone” forging my individual Defendant Mark Brnovich, sued in part under 42 USC Sec 1983 “for acts as” Attorney General [click here], as Docketed correctly in District Court [click here], but was forged to Mark Brnovich Attorney General, Attorney General [click here]. My Appeal Panel then Affirmed 1 of 2 appealed Orders by false Case Law Citations based on these forgeries.
So, in other words…I submitted what would normally be considered a make or break pleading (my Supplemental Brief), and I was not told for one month and 27 days, after that pleading should have been considered (and that I was counting on it being considered) with my Petition for a Writ Mandamus, that it was rejected, and not considered?
And I am being told this, 2 months and 27 after the Clerk of the Supreme Court received my Brief?
Not to mention, this is entirely different than every other exchange I have had with the Supreme Court. This is American Justice?
There is no conclusion to be drawn but the Supreme Court is trying to hide the Judicial corruption my Brief exposes.
Update 7/26/24: My Rule 44 Petition for a Rehearing [click here] with the US Supreme Court for my Denied Petition for a Writ of Mandamus to the Ninth Circuit was Distributed late yesterday [click here].
My Petition for a Writ of Mandamus [click here] was necessitated by the corruption of 3 GOP Appeal Panel Judges; who acted for a GOP District Court Judge; who had acted errantly for Arizona GOP Power Elite Defendants.
But as can be seen on the Supreme Court’s Docket [click here], they have not yet Docketed my Supplemental Brief, which they received on 5/15/24 [click here], and which I tried to Re-file/have Docketed on 7/16/24 [click here].
See the Supreme Court (twice) refuse to Docket/make public my Supplemental Brief, defending their refusal to follow standard procedure with: “But there’s a copy in the file.”
Since when don’t major pleadings get Docketed? Isn’t that how Judges/Justices review cases, by turning to the Docket?
There is no way to know if my Supplemental Brief was considered at Conference, with my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus…I believe it was not, or our Supreme Court could not have Denied my Simple request for a Mandamus for the Ninth Circuit to explain why it used forged Docket Entries to Affirm the 1st Appealed Order, and why they had not ruled on the 2nd Order.
And my Brief was certainly not seen by either the Senate or House Judiciary Committees, public watchdogs, or the public.
Note: Now see a copy of my Supplemental Brief as Exhibit 2 to my Petition for a Rehearing (the first “click here” above).
My Brief details “Someone” at the Ninth Circuit repeatedly forging the Docket to my Appeal there (by claims not seen in District Court); and my Appeal Panel of 3 GOP Judges Affirming the 1st of 2 Orders of Dismissal I appealed, through false Case Law Citations by those forgeries. My Petition for a Writ of Mandamus details my Appeal Panel refusing to rule on the 2nd Order I appealed, and that was argued On-Appeal, by both sides. Note: My Defendants had split themselves into 2 different Groups, by my different allegations, with the 2nd Group/Defendant not having worked as an employee for the State.
One of the forgeries used by my Appeal Panel was “Someone” forging my individual Defendant Mark Brnovich, sued in part under 42 USC Sec 1983 “for acts as” Attorney General [click here], as Docketed correctly in District Court [click here], but was forged to Mark Brnovich Attorney General, Attorney General [click here].
I ask rhetorically: What is an “Attorney General, Attorney General”? Is that a Department: the Attorney General’s Office? Or is that a person: the Attorney General?
Apparently, forging my individual Defendant Mark Brnovich to Mark Brnovich Attorney General, Attorney General, made him both AGO/AG...as my Appeal Panel first Affirmed, as if I had sued the Attorney General’s Office [click here] (see pg 3), citing Lujan v Defenders of Wildlife, ruling I had no standing to do so; and secondly, this forgery made it as if I had sued my Defendant as the Attorney General (per “Attorney General, Attorney General”), citing Linda RS v Richard D [click here] (again see pg 3), ruling I had no rights by his nonprosecution.
See my 10 other Defendants have their names, with no titles, being sued “for acts as” maintained as exactly that in the Ninth Circuit Docket. Only my individual Defendant Mark Brnovich had a title added to his name, and “for acts as” deleted.
And now, in a Rehearing, will the Supreme Court reverse its having Denied my simple Petition for a Writ of Mandamus, asking the Ninth Circuit to explain why it used forged Docket Entries to make false Case Law citations by, and why they did not Rule on the 2nd of Orders argued On-Appeal, by both sides?
Or will the Supreme Court reaffirm its approval of our Courts forging their Dockets (to rule as they wish), and refusing to rule on appealed matters?
Said somewhat differently, will the US Supreme Court affirm its already approved (by Denying my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus) Judicial anarchy and open-ended Judicial corruption?
Update 7/25/24: Late today, my Petition for a Rehearing was Distributed to the Justices [click here] (see Update 7/26/24 for a full review).
Update 7/19/24: I called the Clerk of the Supreme Court this morning, Mr Scott Harris, and left a voicemessage saying that it made no sense to me that I could end up being a witness for questions regarding Supreme Court ethics, or how our Federal Courts are run, because his Office will not Docket my Supplemental Brief.
See my again attempting to have my Supplemental Brief Docketed [click here] [click here]. My Brief details how “Someone” at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals forged the Docket to my Appeal there, and how my Appeal Panel of 3 GOP Judges used those forgeries to make false Case Law Citations by, to Affirm my District Court GOP Judge.
I again asked for him to call me, and offered to meet face to face in early September.
I have not heard back from him. He well could be taking a deserved break as the Court went into recess as of Tuesday afternoon…time will tell.
Update 7/18/24: I called the Clerk of the Supreme Court this morning, Mr Scott Harris (not just my “Contact” there), and left a detailed voicemessage (as his message invites a caller to do).
I explained what has been happening to my Supplemental Brief, which his Office first received on 5/16/24, but has not yet been Docketed (I do not know who the “gatekeeper” for this matter is: My “Contact" at the Court? Mr Harris? Someone further up at the Court?)
I read to him from the Supreme Court’s own website, under “Case Documents,” which includes: “The most common way to find information about a case is to review the case’s docket – a list of all of the filings and rulings in that case, arranged in chronological order.” (Bold underline by me.)
But then it is no secret that every Court in this Country Dockets all measurable activity.
A Supplemental Brief to a Petition for a Writ of Mandamus is certainly measurable.
I commented that by the Court’s not Docketing my Brief, it would not be available by Searches on the Court’s own website; through services such a LexisNexis; or Westlaw; or others; or a simple Internet Search.
And, it is even possible that certain/most/all Justices may not have seen my Brief (don’t Judges/Justices now just work from fully e-Dockets?), and thereby Denied my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus (for which I filed a Petition for a Rehearing, and which has been Docketed).
I commented that it appears the Court is hiding my Supplemental Brief (because it details forgeries to the Docket at the Ninth Circuit, and how my Appeal Panel ruled by those forgeries, thereby making false Case Law citations by those forgeries).
I complemented my “Contact” there in the Clerk’s Office.
I asked Mt Harris to contact me, and ended my call.
PS: I then called back and added a “PS” to my first voicemessage, inviting him to this website by “judicialethics.net,” for my version of what has happened since they first received my Brief (on 5/16/24), up to and including his Office receiving a replacement copy of my Brief to file on Tuesday (7/16/24).
I also noted that my version of what should happen to correct this matter was in my cover letter to the replacement copy of my Brief his Office received on Tuesday.
I pray Mr Harris will correct this matter...a matter that at face value, appears to be, a gross manipulation of Justice, and even worse, reflective of happened to me at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (someone there forged several entries to my Appeal Case Docket, and my Appeal Panel ruled by those forgeries, and thereby making false Case Law citations).
Am I exposing a deep dark secret? Our US Courts regularly forge their Dockets to deny Justice to In Pro Se litigants? (Is this how our Courts get rid of a large portion of the 90% of their case load they must get rid of/do not have time/resources for?)
Update 7/17/24: The Supreme Court has been evading Docketing my Supplemental Brief as described in several Updates below (yesterday was the 2 month anniversary of the Court receiving my Brief, which the Clerk of the Supreme Court has confirmed, twice).
Why won’t they Docket it? I have never seen, read of, nor even heard of a Court not Docketing a major pleading.
Could it be because my Brief details 3 GOP Appeals Panel Judges Affirming my District Court GOP Judge (the Chief Judge for the District) by using "Someone's" forgeries of my Appeal case Docket (by entries/deletions not seen in District Court), for my Panel to thereby make false case law citations by those forgeries? (Not to mention, my Judge errantly Dismissed my lawsuit against several of his fellow Arizona GOP Power Elites, including my lead Defendant, who is married to one of his Judges [to whom my lawsuit was first assigned].)
So I have Re-filed my Brief, which should be heard at the Rehearing of my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus (I filed a Rule 44 Petition for a Rehearing, which has been Docketed), which was Denied on 6/3/24...by the Supreme Court's having excluded my Supplemental Brief (see my cover letter to the Clerk of the Supreme Court [click here] , and my re-filed Supplemental Brief [click here], noting with particularity, my signature; the date of; and accompanying note; on page 7).
The Court received my Re-file for my Supplemental Brief this morning at 9:41 [click here] [click here] . Let’s see what they do with it…
Footnote to my Re-filing efforts: I just called my Contact at the Clerk of the Supreme Court’s Office to leave a voicemessage that there was an envelope that had arrived to her Attention; she answered, and when I explained why I was calling, she asked what it is; I said a Re-file of my missing Supplemental Brief; she said there is already a copy of it in the file, which the Justices can access, and that my new copy would not be Docketed, but just be added to the file; I asked why it wouldn’t be Docketed; she said its already available to the Justices as it is in the file; I said but there are many others who look at the Docket, and won’t see it if it is not Docketed; she said anyone can ask for a copy; I said but they won’t know that it exists, if it is not on the Docket; she said it will not be Docketed; I said it is an important part of my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus, and that I had never seen a Court not Docket a major pleading, but that I would not argue any further; she said have good one.
Update 7/16/24: Last evening, I called my Contact at the Clerk of the Supreme Court's Office and left a voicemessage again regarding my yet missing/not yet Dockted Supplemental Brief (which I reminded my Contact that she has twice confirmed they received on 5-16/24).
It is 2 months today since they received my Brief.
My Brief details how "Someone" at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals forged their Docket, and how my Appeal Panel of 3 GOP Judges Affirmed my District Court Judge, also GOP, by those forgeries.
Update 7/15/24: Please allow me to introduce myself, and give you an overview of what I am up against by 5 approximately 1 to 2 minute video segments:
Segment 1: Introduction of myself and my legal Odyssey [click here];
Segment 2: Judge Snow’s errant Dismissal; “Someone” at the Appeals Court forges their Docket [click here];
Segment 3: My GOP Appeal Panel Affirms by a forged Docket; my efforts with the US Supreme Court [click here];
Segment 4: the Supreme Court misplaces my Supplemental Brief, and Denies my Petition [click here]; and
Segment 5: If the Supreme Court does not Rehear and correct itself [click here].
Update 7/12/24: Last evening (7/11/24), I called my Contact at the Clerk of the Supreme Court’s Office and left a voicemessage regarding my earlier sent/but not yet Docketed Supplemental Brief [click here] (I often prefer using voicemail rather than interrupting someone during their workday).
I originally sent my Brief with a cover letter on 5/15/24 [click here] [click here].
The Court received my Brief on 5/16/24, which they have since confirmed, twice (see my “Update 7/1/24”).
But at that time (5/16/24), someone at the Court misplaced/lost my Brief, and so it was not Docketed, distributed, or considered at Conference for my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus on 5/30/24.
My Petition for a Writ of Mandamus (without my Supplemental Brief) was Denied on the morning of 6/3/24.
I then filed a Petition for a Rehearing (which has been Docketed, which see in “Update 7/10/24” just below), which was filed partly based on my Supplemental Brief not having been considered with my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus at Conference (my Petition for a Rehearing contains a copy of my Brief and cover letter as Ex’s 2 and 1 [per the above 2 “click here’s”]).
But my original Supplemental Brief of 5/16/24 has not yet been Docketed, nor the date it arrived noted.
So, in my voicemessage last evening, I asked when my original Supplemental Brief (which, again, the Court has) would be Docketed, and being Docketed as the Court having received it on 5/16/24, but noted as not Docketed until the date it is, to bring the Court’s Docket up to date, to continue documenting my case as it has actually unfolded.
I am now waiting for the Court to Docket my Supplemental Brief as it was submitted, dated as recevied on 5/16/24, but noted it was not Docketed until the date it is.
Update 7/10/24: Late yesterday afternoon, the Supreme Court Docketed my Rule 44 Petition for a Rehearing [click here], which includes as Ex 2, my missing Supplemental Brief (which I filed on 5/15/24, but which went missing as “someone” at the Court misplaced/lost my Brief) .
I note that because my Supplemental Brief was lost [click here], it was not Docketed nor distributed for Conference (on 5/30/24), and so not considered at Conference when my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus was thereby incompletely considered/Denied.
When I first filed my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus on 3/28/24 [click here], it was filed to obtain an Order of Mandamus for the Supreme Court to Order that a new Appeal Panel be appointed at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to then rule on the 2nd of 2 District Court Orders of Dismissal which I had Appealed (the 1st Order was Ruled on, which see); which was argued On-Appeal, by both sides; but not ruled on (and the Ninth Circuit refused to respond to any of my 6 pleadings questioning why they did not Rule on the 2nd Order [see my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus for the 6 pleadings, Apndx E1-6]).
I made mention in my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus of what I thought were irregularities (forgeries) to the Appeals Court’s Docket Header and various Docket Entries. And I asked that the new Appeal Panel I was requesting be Ordered to also review the one/the 1st of the 2 Orders of Dismissal my Appeal Panel did Rule on, as that Order looked suspect.
I was not experienced/bright enough to pick up on what those forgeries meant to my Appeal Panel when they considered, and then ruled on, my Appeal of the 2 District Court Orders I had appealed.
Upon further study and reflection of those “irregularities,” I realized what “Someone’s” forgeries to the Appeals Court’s Docket Header and various Docket Entries meant, and how my Appeal Panel had errantly used them to Affirm the 1st of the 2 Orders of Dismissal I had appealed (and why they ignored my 8 pleadings asking about those forgeries [see Petition for a Writ of Mandamus, Apndx I]).
So, I filed a Supplemental Brief that focused on the forgeries and how my Appeal Panel used “Someone’s” forgeries to make false Case Law citations by to corruptly Affirm the 1st of the 2 Orders of Dismissal by the District Court I had appealed (again, see a copy of my replacement Supplemental Brief as submitted on 5-15-24 [click here], which, again, appears above as Ex 2 to my just Docketed Petition for a Rehearing). As noted above, my Brief was misplaced/lost/or pulled by someone at the Court (I say this as the Clerk of Supreme Court has confirmed to me they had received my Brief on 5/15/24).
Note: “Someone” at the Ninth Circuit forged “Attorney General, Attorney General” on to the Docket (a title not seen in District Court); deleted “for acts as” from the Docket (also not seen in District Court), and committed other forgeries not seen in District Court. These forgeries occurred to just 1 of my 11 Defendants/Appellees. My Appeal Panel then used these forgeries to Rule by, making fraudulent Case Law citations (see my replacement Supplemental Brief at the just above “click here” or as Ex 2 to my Petition for a Rehearing).
My Appeal Panel also refused to Rule on the 2nd Order I had Appealed, and that was argued On-Appeal, by both sides (see my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus). Apparently, the Ninth Circuit could not think of a forgery to commit to Rule by for this 2nd of 2 Appealed and argued On-Appeal Orders.
I pray our respected Supreme Court will now Grant my simple, straightforward Petition for a Writ of Mandamus to Order the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to explain:
1.) why there are at least 15 forged Entries to their Docket for my Appeal (forged with titles/deletions that appeared nowhere in District Court);
2.) why my Appeal Panel used certain of those forgeries to make false Case Law citations by to Affirm the 1st of the 2 Orders of Dismissal I appealed; and
3.) why my Appeal Panel refused to Rule on the 2nd of the 2 Orders I appealed; and that was argued On-Appeal, by both sides.
These simple, basic requests, must be an unquestionable part of American Justice, including Due Process.
The Dismissal of my lawsuit in District Court by 2 errant Orders of Dismissal; my Appeal of the 2 Orders to the Ninth Circuit; and then my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus to the US Supreme Court, and my missing/now replaced Supplemental Brief; document a string of Republicans corruptly protecting one another, treating Lady Justice with disdain (I am a moderate Independent).
Update 7/9/24: I am waiting for my Petition for a Rehearing to be Docketed (the Clerk of the Supreme Court received it one week ago this morning [noting the 4th of July Holiday]).
This Petition contains a replacement copy of my Supplemental Brief which someone at the Supreme Court either misplaced, lost, or pulled, and so was not Docketed nor therefor seen by interested parties or considered at Conference by the Court when it considered my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus (and thusly, my Petition was Denied).
My Supplemental Brief documents “Someone” at the Ninth Circuit of Appeals having forged Docket entries there (“entries” including deletions); and then my Appeal Panel of 3 (GOP) Judges Affirming the 1st of 2 Orders of Dismissal by the Arizona US District Court Chief (GOP) Judge I had Appealed; Affirming him by false Case Law citations based on “Someone’s” forgeries (the Chief District Court GOP Judge errantly Dismissed my lawsuit against several of his fellow Arizona GOP Power Elites).
Note: “Someone” at the Ninth Circuit forged “Attorney General, Attorney General” on to the Docket (a title not seen in District Court); deleted “for acts as” from the Docket, and committed other forgeries. These forgeries occurred to just 1 of 11 Defendants/Appellees. My Appeal Panel then used these forgeries to Rule by, making fraudulent Case Law citations (see my replacement Supplemental Brief as Ex 2 to my Petition for a Rehearing).
My Appeal Panel also refused to Rule on the 2nd Order of the 2 Orders I Appealed, and that was argued On-Appeal, by both sides (see my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus). Apparently, the Ninth Circuit could not think of a forgery to commit to Rule by for this 2nd of 2 Appealed and argued On-Appeal Orders.
The Dismissal of my lawsuit in District Court by 2 errant Orders; my Appeal of the 2 Orders to the Ninth Circuit; and then my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus to the US Supreme Court, and my missing/now replaced Supplemental Brief; document a string of Republicans corruptly protecting one another, treating Lady Justice with disdain (I am a moderate Independent).
Update 7/8/24 10:12 AM: My Contact in the Clerk of the Supreme Court’s Office called and left a voicemessage repeating that they do have my Petition for a Rehearing, but they have not had time to review it yet, but would be doing so soon…she noted that with the July 4th Holiday, and all that is going on at the Court, they just have not had time, but soon would, and that I should “just hang tight.” My Contact invited me to call if I have any further questions.
Update 7/8/24 early AM: I called the Supreme Court late last evening (7/7/24) and left a voicemessage for my Contact there, saying:
“Good morning...this is Will Graven checking in.
I hope you had a 4 day weekend...now back to work.
I have 2 short items on my list for this call:
1) a quick reminder that I would appreciate your letting me know when there has been movement on my Petition for a Rehearing being Docketed (besides myself, there are a number of people wondering if the Court will Docket this, or bury it like my Supplemental Brief);
2) you hadn’t said anything about receiving my message regarding my website, so I wanted to make certain you received that information...you can find my site by 1 of 3 addresses;
a. senatejudiciarycommitteeforsupremecourtethics.com;
b. housejudiciarycommitteeforsupremecourtethics.com; or
c. judicialethics.net
There are a lot of people following my case that do not believe what the Ninth Circuit did was right...nor do they believe the Supreme Court denying my Petition was right.
I guess you realize my case involves someone at the Ninth Circuit forging that Court’s Docket...and that my Appeal Panel ruled by those forgeries for the 1st of 2 District Court Orders I Appealed...and that the Ninth simply refused to rule on the 2nd Order.
Thank you...I look forward to hearing from you.”
I am waiting for my Petition for a Rehearing to be Docketed…
Update 7/5/24: I am waiting for the Supreme Court to Docket my Petition for a Rehearing [click here], with my lost-by-the-Court/now replaced by me Supplemental Brief (see Ex 2 to this new Petition), to then correct their having approved/condoned (by Denying my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus, the result of someone at the Court having lost/pulled my Brief) the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals for having forged various Entries to the Docket (yes, entries forged at/by the Ninth), and then having used those forged Docket Entries to make false Case Law Citations by those forgeries, to Affirm the 1st of 2 District Court Orders I appealed for the District Court’s errant Dismissal of my lawsuit (see my Supplemental Brief as Ex 2 just above); and the Ninth having simply refused to Rule on the 2nd of the 2 Orders I Appealed, that were argued On-Appeal (by both sides), but which the Ninth refused to Rule on (see my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus just below at “click here”).
Comments: The Ninth Circuit refused to answer where those forgeries came from, as they refused to respond to my 8 pleadings regarding such (see my Supplemental Brief as Ex 2 above), and they refused to respond to the Supreme Court’s Order to respond to my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus (which see below at “click here”); and the Ninth also refused to answer why they would not Rule on the 2nd Order, as they refused to respond to my 6 pleadings regarding such (see my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus at “click here”), and they refused to respond to the Supreme Court’s Order to respond to my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus (which see [click here]).
If the Supreme Court does not correct itself through a Rehearing, we will have 3 (new?) precedents for Judicial anarchy, and endless Judicial corruption:
1.) the Supreme Court’s approval for our Courts to forge their Docket Entries (as happened to me) (please see Notes 1, 2, and 3 in my Update 7/3/24 just below);
2.) the Supreme Court’s approval for our Courts to use their forged Docket Entries to rule by (e.g., to make false Case Law citations by those forged Docket Entries [as happened to me]); and
3.) the Supreme Court’s approval for our Courts to simply refuse to Rule (as happened to me).
Any one of these 3 “precedents” being used by our Courts, let alone 2 or 3, would be the end of American Justice (as it has been for me).
Update 7/4/24: Happy Birthday USA!
I pray we still have Justice in this great Country…
Update 7/3/24: Early this morning, before the Supreme Court opened, I left a voicemessage asking my Contact there to let me know, if convenient, when there has been movement on Docketing my Petition for a Rehearing (in truth, it would be my first-time Hearing, with both my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus and my Supplemental Brief being considered together).
As the Supreme Court’s Denial of my Petition now stands, by someone at the Court having buried my Supplemental Brief, the Court has given us a two-part recipe for Judicial anarchy (and/or 3 clever tools to dismiss/rule against/eliminate Pro Se litigants, en masse):
1.) The US Supreme Court has approved/condoned US Courts forging their (the forging Court) Docket (noting, the forging Court does not need to explain why/where these forgeries came from), and
2.) Then using those forgeries to make false Case Law citations by to manipulate their (the forging Court) rulings (see Notes 1, 2, and 3 below); and
3.) The US Supreme Court has approved/condoned US Appeals Court simply refusing to rule on Appealed/argued On-Appeal Orders (noting, the belligerent Court does not need to explain why they did not/will not rule).
Note 1: “Someone” at the Appeals Court forged “Attorney General, Attorney General” (yes, they said/forged it twice, in a row) into several entries on that Court’s Docket for one individually named Defendant/Appellee (who was sued in part under 42 USC Sec 1983), and that “Someone” at the Appeals Court also deleted “for acts as” from that same Appellee’s Defendant Header, while leaving “for acts as” in place for the 10 other Defendants/Appellees, and not randomly giving/forging unwarranted titles to any of the 10 others, as the Appeals Court did the one Defendant/Appellee.
Note 2: My Appeal Panel gave 2 citations of Case Law by the forgery of “Attorney General, Attorney General” and the forgery/deletion of “for acts as” to Affirm the 1st of 2 Orders that I had Appealed and that were argued On-Appeal (argued by both myself as the Appellant, and the Appellees).
Note 3: The term “Attorney General, Attorney General” was not used anywhere for this Defendant/Appellee in District Court (not by me/not by the Defendant(s)/not by the Judge).I will certainly post when my Petition for a ReHearing is Docketed.
Update 7/2/24: At 10:06AM this morning, my Petition for a Rehearing arrived to the Supreme Court [Click Here] [Click Here].
My Petition for a Rehearing simply states that if the Court does not Re-Hear my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus, considering such with my Supplemental Brief (which someone at the Court lost/pulled, and so it was not Docketed), and thereby reverse its Denial of my request for an Order of Mandamus, the Court will be approving and setting precedent for:
1.) US Federal Courts would now be openly approved/condoned to forge entries on a Court’s Docket, by which a/any Court can manipulate how it rules (is this our Federal Courts’ “secret weapon" against In Pro Se litigants?);
2.) US Appeals Courts would now be openly approved/condoned to simply ignore ruling on an Appealed and argued On-Appeal Order (for my Appeal, argued by both sides), for whatever reason it chooses, and without explanation to the Appellant (another tool for our Federal Courts to wage war against In Pro Se litigants?)
This is clearly a two-part recipe for Judicial anarchy (and/or clever tools to dismiss/rule against/eliminate In Pro Se litigants, en masse).
Is allowing our Courts the tool of forgery, a “deep state” vehicle for manipulating Justice, and protecting those privy to the deep state? (In my Case, our GOP controlled Supreme Court is Denying my Appeal/Petition to protect 3 GOP Appeals Court Judges who Affirmed by 2 false case law citations that were based on the Docket of my Appeal being forged; and simply refusing to rule on a 2nd Appealed/argued On-Appeal Order, to protect a GOP Chief District Court Judge who errantly Dismissed my lawsuit to protect fellow GOP Power Elites).
Is allowing our Courts the tool of simply refusing to rule on an Appealed Order, also a “deep state” vehicle for manipulating Justice, and protecting those privy to the deep state?
I argued that I had not been given a “Complete Petition Process" (i.e., the Justices did not see my Supplemental Brief; nor did potential “Friends of the Court” see my Brief, and so could not have been motivated to join in; nor was my Brief seen by the Appeals Court, possibly soliciting a response from them).
I reminded the Court (in my Petition for a ReHearing [2nd blue “click here” just above]) how “Someone” at the Ninth Circuit had used forgery to give my 3 GOP Judge Appeals Panel a false basis to Affirm the GOP Chief Judge for the District of Arizona (who had errantly Dismissed my lawsuit against several Arizona GOP Power Elites):
Note 1: “Someone” at the Appeals Court forged “Attorney General, Attorney General” (yes, they said/forged it twice, in a row) into several entries on that Court’s Docket for one individually named Defendant/Appellee (who was sued in part under 42 USC Sec 1983), and that “Someone” deleted “for acts as” from that same Appellee’s Defendant Header (the Appeals Court did not respond to any of my 8 different pleadings I filed asking about these forgeries, see my Petition), while leaving “for acts as” in place for the 10 other Defendants/Appellees, and not randomly giving/forging unwarranted titles to any of the 10 others, as the Appeals Court did the one Defendant/Appellee.
Note 2: The term “Attorney General, Attorney General” was not used anywhere for this Defendant/Appellee in District Court (not by me/not by the Defendant(s)/not by the Judge).
And I reminded the Court that my 3 GOP Judge Appeal Panel adamantly refused to rule on the 2nd of the 2 Orders I had Appealed (and that had been argued On-Appeal, by both sides). They did not even explain why they had not ruled (although I filed 6 different pleadings asking why they did not rule on the 2nd Order).
I am now waiting to see if the Court will post my Petition for a ReHearing (or will they hide that also? [as they did my Supplemental Brief]).
Update 7/1/24 mid AM: Not long after the Court opened this morning, my Contact returned my voicemessage, and we spoke.
My Contact explained the only pleading I could at this time (post Denial) was a Rule 44 Petition for a rehearing.
I noted that it did not seem to me I should be asking for a Re-Hearing, when I had really not been given a first-time Hearing (at Conference) as the Court Denied my Petition by only considering my Petition, and not with my Supplemental Brief, as it had not been Docketed; or apparently, distributed. My Contact confirmed there was a copy in the Court’s folder for my Case.
I explained my “Prayer Pleading” (which see late in my “Update 6/28/24,” the 2nd of 3 “click here” buttons) did ask for a Hearing, a first time Hearing, with my Petition and Brief being considered together, with my Brief being what it was intended for: to be Supplemental to what is not in my Brief.
My Contact could not confirm that although they received my Brief on 5/16/24, and there is a copy in my folder there (but again, it was not Docketed), that it was distributed and considered at Conference.
My Contact again stated that a Rule 44 Petition for a Rehearing was the only pleading I could now file. She said she would return my Prayer Pleading with a cover letter explaining this.
By this time on the 1st, I had approximately 6 hours to convert my Prayer Pleading to a Petition for a ReHearing, which I immediately set about doing.
My Petition for a ReHearing was sent just before the 4:30PM cutoff (where I am) for overnight delivery to the Court the next morning (7/2/24).
Update 7/1/24 early am: I called and left a voicemessage for my contact at the Supreme Court asking if she would let me know when my Replacement Supplemental Brief had been forwarded to the next department for Docketing (and I commented that they had received my Replacement Brief 1 week ago this morning).
I noted it was someone at the Court who had lost or pulled my Brief, and thereby caused the Court’s Consideration of my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus at my Conference to be incomplete, causing a Denial of my Petition.
I noted it was not my fault we have this mess/redo being required.
I noted I was concerned my Brief would be lost or pulled again.
I suggested the Court take a look at my/this website: judicialethics.net
I thanked my contact for her time and efforts.
I am now waiting for the Court to set a new Conference for a “Complete Hearing” (my Petition being considered with and supported by my Replacement Supplemental Brief [which contains information not in my Petition, and so information not considered at Conference on 5/30/24]).
Update 6/28/24: Here is what I am waiting for the Supreme Court to do, to fix, and why: On 5/16/24, the Clerk of the Supreme Court received my Rule 15.8 Supplemental Brief to my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus (the Clerk actually suggested the Supplemental Brief, with a mistaken/returned pleading I had submitted). I sent my Supplemental Brief on 5/10/24, to arrive on 5/13/24 (but which the Court did not receive until 5/16/24). The Clerk of the Supreme Court has confirmed they received my Brief on 5/16/24 (which see here, and in detail in my “Update 6/24/24” below). My Petition was Docketed on 4/1/24 as having been sent/filed on 3/28/24; and by which the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals was Ordered on 4/2/24 to Respond to my Petition by 5/2/24 (Case No 23-7130).
Yes, the Clerk of the Supreme Court received my Supplemental Brief on 5/16/24, reviewed it, approved it, and forwarded it to the next “department” for Docketing (see the Clerk confirm this). In my cover letter to my Brief, I offered to have my Conference moved to a later date/Conference if more time was needed for the Justices to review my Brief for Conference (on 5/15/24, the Court scheduled the Conference for 5/30/24),.
But then, after the Clerk of the Supreme Court forwarded my Supplemental Brief to the next department, someone in that department, or another party at the Court, “misplaced” or “lost” (or pulled?) my Brief, so it was not Docketed, nor distributed, so therefore, not considered at Conference, as intended/filed: To support my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus with new information/detail not in my Petition (at Conference on 5/30/24).
The Court therefore “considered”” and Denied my Petition at Conference without my Supplemental Brief (which someone at the Court lost/pulled).
My “lost” Supplemental Brief details corrupt acts by 3 Ninth Circuit GOP Judges (which see my Note just below). My “lost” Brief and the implications of it being lost are suspect (the Supreme Court of the United States does not lose/misplace pleadings).
Note: The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals did not respond to the Supreme Court’s Order to respond to my Petition (the Ninth Circuit was to respond by 5/2/24). The Ninth Circuit was to respond to why they had used forged Docket entries to rule by on the 1st of 2 District Court Orders I had Appealed (forged Docket entries with information that appeared no where in District Court); and why they refused to rule at all on the 2nd Order. So, although the Ninth Circuit refused to explain their errant acts as I alleged and documented in my Petition, the Supreme Court Denied my Petition for an Order of Mandamus to force them to explain their errant acts on the 1st Order Appealed, and to rule on the 2nd Order (but then again, I believe the Supreme Court Denied my Petition because someone lost/pulled my Supplemental Brief and so it was not considered in the Court’s decision making process at Conference on 5/30/24).
My Supplemental Brief just vanished after being processed/approved by the Clerk of the Supreme Court (as told to me by the Asst Clerk of the Supreme Court: After they received my Brief on 5/16/24, they reviewed/approved and then passed my Brief on to the next department to be Docketed [again, see the Clerk of the Supreme Court confirm this in my “Update 6/24/24”]).
On 6/3/24, as I was waiting for my Supplemental Brief to be Docketed (or returned with comment, which it wasn’t), the Court Denied my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus...I immediately filed a Petition for Reconsideration (not yet knowing that my Supplemental Brief had been lost/pulled, and so had not been used/not considered at Conference). It was not until 6/19/24 that I realized/knew my Brief had been lost/misplaced/pulled by someone at the Supreme Court, and so not considered at Conference. (I realized my Brief had not been used/not considered/had disappeared, when the Clerk of the Supreme Court returned my Petition for Reconsideration [suggesting an alternate], but did not return any other pleadings [i.e., they did not return my Supplemental Brief, which had been submitted 3 weeks earlier than my Petition for Reconsideration], and my Brief was not Docketed [i.e., it had disappeared].)
So, on 6/20/24, I sent the Supreme Court what I called my “Prayer Pleading” (which see just below) as a “replacement” or “alternate" to my returned Petition for Reconsideration (or a Petition for a Re-Hearing), with a copy of my previously filed Supplemental Brief the Court had lost, asking the Court to step back from its having Denied my Petition, and take a good/fair look at my Petition, by including what they had lost: My Supplemental Brief.
I have not asked for a “Re-Hearing” (Rule 44), I have asked for a “first-time” Hearing, a “Complete Hearing“ if you will, of my Petition and my “lost” Brief, together: See my “Prayer Pleading” cover letter [click here]; my Prayer Pleading, with a copy of my original Supplemental Brief as earlier filed/but lost/pulled by someone at the Court [click here]; and my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus [click here].
The Clerk of the Supreme Court also confirmed (which again see below in my “Update 6/24/24”) they received my voicemessage on Friday morning 6/21/24 that my overnight envelope with my Replacement Supplemental Brief (the Prayer Pleading) would be delayed until Monday morning 6/24/24, and that they had received my Replacement Brief that morning (6/24/24).
How could the Supreme Court of the United States lose/misplace (be pulled by someone?) such an important pleading, and not take steps to correct whatever happened, by holding a new Conference, a “Complete Hearing”? Is our GOP controlled Supreme Court protecting 3 Ninth Circuit GOP Judges, and a GOP Chief District Judge (who errantly dismissed my lawsuit against Arizona GOP Power Elites) by evading my Supplemental Brief (which documents and details corruption by these 4 GOP Judges)?
I whole heartedly believe our Supreme Court will do the right thing and hold a new Conference with my Petition and Brief being considered, together.
Updated 6/27/24: I received a callback/voicemessage from the Clerk of the Supreme Court first thing this morning, in response to my 2 voicemessages from yesterday, saying they have received my replacement Supplemental Brief, but that it has not been processed so not yet posted, but that they would be doing so, in time, inviting me to call back if I had any further questions. I did make a quick callback, thanking the Asst Clerk for their call and voicemessage.
I am now waiting to see when my replacement Supplemental Brief will be posted, and distributed, for a new Conference, to then be considered as the properly submitted and accepted Petition for a Writ of Mandamus, supported by a Supplemental Brief, that I filed (which, as recounted below, my Brief was misplaced or pulled from consideration by someone at the Court, so it was missing at my first Conference, which led to my Petition being Denied. This Denial thereby put our Supreme Court in the position of having approved/condoned documented corrupt acts by 3 Ninth Circuit GOP Judges. The 3 GOP Appeal Judges used forged Docket entries [that are documented to have occurred at the Ninth Circuit] to make false citations by to Affirm a District Court GOP Judge, who had errantly Dismissed my case against Arizona GOP Power Elite Defendants; and the Supreme Court’s Denial approved/condoned my 3 Appeal Judges flat-out refusing to rule on the 2nd of 2 District Court Orders that I had Appealed, and that had been argued On-Appeal [argued by both sides]).
Updated 6/26/24 PM: I called and left another message with the Clerk of the Supreme Court asking when my replacement Supplemental Brief would be posted…I again expressed my concern that my replacement would be lost/pulled, as the first one was (I believe this happened/is happening because it exposes 3 Ninth Circuit GOP Judges corrupt acts).
Updated 6/26/24 AM: I called the Clerk of Supreme Court this morning leaving a voicemessage (for my established contact there) commenting that my replacement Supplemental Brief had arrived Monday morning at 9:36AM, but I note that it has not yet been posted to the Docket...and that I am concerned it will be lost (or pulled) by someone at the Court again...and I asked the Clerk of Court’s Office to please advise.
I understand the Clerk may need to investigate what happened to my first/lost/pulled Supplemental Brief, but that should not slow them down from posting my replacement copy, distributing it, and setting a date for a new Conference to consider my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus with my Supplemental Brief, together.
Updated 6/25/24: On Monday, 6-24-24, a Member of the Clerk of the Supreme Court’s Staff called me (I am withholding the Staff Member’s name, but I do have proof of the call).
The Staffer confirmed that they had received my voice-message from Friday morning that my overnight envelope with my replacement Supplemental Brief (which, per my Update below on 6-24-24, the replacement was needed because “someone” at the Court either misplaced my Brief, or pulled it from the Court’s processes, which see) would not be arriving that Friday (6-21-24), as it should have, but that it would be arriving yesterday morning (which it did, Monday, 6-24-24, at 9:36AM [click here]).
In Speaking with the Staffer, she confirmed that they had received my original Supplemental Brief on 5-16-24, and then after processing, they passed it on (as I claimed in my Update below, on 6-24-24, and pleadings filed that day; see both blue “click here” buttons towards the end of my 6-24-24 Update for those pleadings).
The Staffer did not offer an explanation of what happened to my originally submitted Brief, that has gone missing, and is yet missing, since the Clerk’s Office processed it, and passed it on (and this is why I had to send a replacement Brief, and ask for the Court to hold a new Conference to consider my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus and my Supplemental Brief, together).
Thusly, it has been confirmed: I filed a Supplemental Brief (which detailed the forged Docket my 3 GOP Judge Appeal Panel ruled by); it was not posted; nor distributed for Conference; and so not considered at Conference (on 5-30-24), as supplemental material to support my Petition.
And so, the Court needs to step back, and consider my Petition and my Supplemental Brief, together, at a new Conference.
Oh, and…where is my missing Brief? Who misplaced/pulled it? Why? (I believe, it was pulled to protect a string of errant GOP Judges and Republican stalwart Defendants).
Things just don’t get misplaced at the US Supreme Court…someone pulled it, to increase the likelihood that my Petition, representing only 1/2 of my case/argument, would be Denied.

Updated 6/24/24: Was my Supplemental Brief lost by the Clerk of the Supreme Court, or pulled by someone at the Court? (More SCOTUS ethics questions?)
Yes…my Supplemental Brief was received by the Clerk of the Supreme Court, but not posted on to the Docket, nor distributed, and so not considered at Conference to support my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus to Order my Appeal Panel of 3 GOP Judges at the Ninth Circuit to explain their errant acts (my Panel acted errantly to Affirm the Chief Judge for the District of Arizona, a GOP Judge who had Dismissed my Lawsuit against several of his fellow Arizona Republican Power Elites [my lead Defendant, who is Arizona GOP royalty, is married to one of that GOP Chief Judge’s District Court Judges] [noting: my GOP Appeal Panel Affirmed 1 of 2 District Court Orders I Appealed, by documented forged Appeals Court Docket entries, making false citations by those forgeries; and they simply refused to rule on the 2nd Appealed Order] [See my 6-11-24 Update below for more detail on these matters.]).
The SCOTUS “erred” in Denying my Petition because “someone” at the Court lost/pulled my Supplemental Brief. (Was this done by someone in the Clerk’s Office, or higher? Who was it done for? This string of GOP stalwarts?) But then again, my Petition covered much of the events described above (So why did our GOP controlled Supreme Court not Order 3 GOP Appeals Court Judges to explain whey they used a forged Docket to rule by, and why ignored the 2nd of 2 Appealed District Court Orders?).
I have asked the Supreme Court to step back from their Denying my Petition, by mangled input, and give my Petition a “Complete Hearing” at a new Conference…with my Supplemental Brief being considered as it was intended/filed: As important supplemental material to my Petition [click here] [click here].

Updated 6/11/24: Our GOP controlled Supreme Court of the United States has just ruled by the errant ethics our US Senate Judiciary Committee is attempting to fix: GOP Federal Judges are above the law (as just documented in my own case, No 23-7130 [click here]).
And see the GOP Justices of our Supreme Court attempt to hide this corrupt GOP Judicial reality (by not publishing, considering, returning, but rather hiding, Petition documentation I submitted to advance my case).
I need your help, our Country needs your help…to expose errant, albeit, somewhat clever, case reversing, GOP Judicial frauds (some of which are criminal, which see) they use to protect their own (be it GOP District Court Judges protecting Republican defendants, or senior Courts GOP Judges protecting lower court GOP Judges).
US Senators Durbin, Blumenthal, Whitehouse, Welch, and Booker, amongst others, have been diligently working on the Senate Judiciary Committee to improve the errant ethics of our Supreme Court.
Thank you for visiting my website.
Introduction: Yes, our GOP controlled US Supreme Court has ruled: GOP Federal Judges (i.e., not only GOP Supreme Court Justice, but GOP Appeals Court and District Court Judges) are above the law, even when their (the GOP Judges) errant and corrupt acts are documented by their own records. My GOP Appeals Court Judges’ corrupt acts include (which the Supreme Court just approved):
(1) Affirming a District Court GOP Judge’s Order by an anonymously forged Appeals Court Docket Header (“forged” by terms not seen/used/nor even claimed by anyone in the District Court [not by the District Court Judge, not by the Defendants, nor by me]), and other forged Docket Entries (which see these seemingly outrageous allegations fully documented); and
(2) refusing to Order my GOP Appeal Judges to rule on the 2nd of 2 Appealed and argued On-Appeal District Court Orders (which later see this [by our Supreme Court] refusal translate into other errant/corrupt GOP Judge supporting acts).
To be clear on No (1): “Someone” at the Appeals Court forged the Appeals Court’s Docket for my Appeal…and those forgeries are what my GOP Appeal Panel Judges ruled by…protecting the District Court GOP Judge and my GOP Power Elite Defendants (this is fully documented, which see),
My Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Panel of 3 GOP Judges refused to take action, or explain their acts, when I repeatedly questioned them about these matters by a series of pleadings (i.e., after I realized what they had done/were doing). You will see these multiple pleadings below.
These GOP Appeal Judges refused to respond to the GOP controlled Supreme Court because they (the GOP Appeal Judges) knew the Supreme Court would back them up.
The Supreme Court just (on June 3) allowed these corrupt acts by 4 GOP Judges to stand (my 3 Appeal Judges, and my 1 District Court Judge, which see), and the Supreme Court allowed their (the GOP Judges) refusing to act, or respond, to stand (post the Supreme Court having ordered the Appeals Court Judges to Respond to my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus [which they did not]).
In other words, the Supreme Court just accepted/condoned 4 GOP Judges not only acting errantly, but committing criminal acts, as using forged portions of the Appeals Court Docket to issue false Federal documents by (e.g., Court Orders); and other, here, are not just corrupt, they are criminal.
The Supreme Court did not require the Appeal Judges to take action or explain their acts, and so thereby accepted/endorsed these Appeal Judges’ documented errant acts by their (the GOP Appeal Judges) non-responses.
To state this clearly, without the Appeal Judges explanation, the Supreme Court decided on its own (although the Supreme Court had the physical evidence of the Appeals Judges’ criminal acts): These GOP Appeal Judges’ documented criminal acts are acceptable (perhaps the Supreme Court was acting to protect the useful tools of corruption my Appeals Judges used on me, as much as they [the Supreme Court] were protecting the GOP Appeal Judges).
Will other Federal Courts now use these corrupt acts (forging the Docket; and ignoring Appealed Orders, only ruling when and on what they want to for whom they want) to manipulate “Justice” in their own Courts, for their own purposes? (Or, are other GOP Judges already using these corrupt acts?)
Isn’t the Supreme Court stoking the fires of the Judicial anarchy that are now so widely causing concern in our great Country (and even causing concern worldwide)?
Is this another example of the out of control Judicial Ethics our US Senate Judiciary Committee is currently pursuing?
And again, yes, I just experienced this myself, in my own case (again, on June 3), at the US Supreme Court (Case No 23-7130), and it is documented, as you will see below.
Background: I filed a lawsuit in the US District Court for Arizona, in Phoenix. My lawsuit was against a number of then current/former State employees (and a former State retained civil defense attorney), whom I sued in part under a Federal law, 42 USC Sec 1983, which is for suing State employees who acted under the color of State law (see Note 7 for more on Sec 1983). After a flurry of activity, my case was Dismissed, and so I Appealed that Dismissal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, after which I went to the US Supreme Court (which see my lawsuit: Graven v Brnovich et al, Case No 2-22-cv-00062-GMS [click here]; see my Appeal to the Ninth Circuit as Case No 22-16909 [click here]; and again, see my Supreme Court case as No 23-7130 [click here].
Note 1: Please take note of my Defendant Header to my District Court lawsuit [click here], and that I sued these Defendants individually “for acts as” (which a part of Sec 1983), and that I sued for personal liabilities, that I excluded the State’s Treasury [see the importance of this in Dugan v Rank, US], and etc, all making it a personal liability lawsuit). And also please note that the terms “Attorney General, Attorney General” or “Attorney General’s Office” do not appear there, nor will it be seen in any other District Court documentation, including in any of the Judge’s Orders, e.g., in his 2 Orders of Dismissal [click here] [see the Order Header, and page 6 for the 2 Orders]). Please take particular note that the qualifier of “for acts as” appears with every one of my Defendants [click here] (Noting, with particularity, “Someone” at the Ninth Circuit will later delete “for acts as” from my lead Defendant, Mark Brnovich [click here] [which see, at the bottom of page one]). See the legal importance of “for acts as” in Note 7.
Note 2: Please take note, neither Mark Brnovich nor any of his 10 fellow Defendants claimed, at anytime, in any pleading, in District Court or at the Ninth Circuit, that I had sued him as the as the “Attorney General, Attorney General,” or “Attorney General, “ or as the “Attorney General’s Office” (they did not make these claims, because I I had not). But “Someone” at the Ninth Circuit later forged the Appeal Docket for my Appeal Panel to rule by (and thereby Affirm District Court Judge Snow), claiming I allegedly sued him as both “the “Attorney General, Attorney General” and the “Attorney General’s Office” (which see).
Note 2 1/2: Forging the Docket to add “Attorney General, Attorney General,” a term which changes the legal nature of my Defendants, is not just clever attorney shit (and it was done by “Someone” at the Ninth Circuit, not the Defendants’ attorney), it is criminal (as is ruling by such a forgery).
Note 3: Please take note, my Defendants themselves, in their own pleadings, used the term “for acts as” (e.g., see their own Headers in their 2 Motions to Dismiss [click here] [click here]) (noting, with particularity, my lead Defendant, Mark Brnovich), but that “Someone” at the Ninth Circuit later deleted “for acts as” for Defendant Brnovich (but no one else [28 click]), and then also ruled by this forgery (which see). Again, see the legal importance of “for acts as” with Note 7.
Note 3 1/2: Forging the Docket, by deleting a term which changes the legal nature of a Defendant, is not just clever attorney shit (and it was done by “Someone” at the Ninth Circuit, not the Defendant’s attorney), it is criminal (as is ruling by such a forgery).
Note 4: My District Court Judge was G Murray Snow, a well known Arizona Republican. One of his Judges, Susan Brnovich, is married to my lead Defendant, well known Arizona Republican Mark Brnovich (most of my Defendants are Arizona Republican Power Elites [again, later see all 3 of my Ninth Circuit Appeal Panel Judges being Republican]).
My lawsuit had 11 Defendants, who divided themselves into 2 Groups by my different allegations, and so the 2 Groups filed 2 different Motion to Dismiss [click here] [click here].
Judge Snow considered the 2 Motion to Dismiss, and Granted both Motions.
Judge Snow committed no less that 20 clear/obvious frauds in Dismissing my Defendants, many of whom are his fellow Arizona Republican Power Elites (and again, one of his Judges is married to my lead Defendant).
The Appeals Court forging my individual Defendant to “Attorney General, Attorney General” and deleting “for acts as” is the platform my GOP Appeal Judges created to Affirm District Court GOP Judge Snow, and save my Republican Power Elite Defendants.
I Appealed District Court Judge Snow’s 2 Dismissals to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals: I Appealed both Orders of Dismissal to the Ninth Circuit; both Orders were argued, by myself as the Appellant, and the 2 Groups of Defendants as then Appellees.
Note 5: The Chief Judge for the Ninth Circuit is Judge Mary Murguia, a longtime Phoenix attorney, and then Judge, who has long officed and worked with Judge Snow, and Judge Brnovich. Although she (Judge Murguia) has long been on the Ninth Circuit, she has done so from Phoenix.
Note 6: Somehow, in an Appeals Court with less than ½ of the Judges being Republican appointees, all 3 of my Appeal Panel Judges are Republican (clearly, they were handpicked, to Affirm Republican Judge Snow [likely, by his long-term office neighbor, Chief Judge Murguia]).
“Someone” at Ninth Circuit Forged the Docket for my Appeal Panel to Rule by: Here is where the errant, blatantly criminal corruption of my GOP Appeal Panel, becomes apparent (and will later [again, on June 3rd] be accepted/endorsed by our Supreme Court).
My Appeal begins: Let’s begin with the first communication I received from the Ninth Circuit [click here]. Please take note, the Header, or “Short Title” of of the Appeal that the Ninth Circuit had opened was, clearly, “William Graven v Mark Brnovich et al” (point here: There is no “Attorney General, Attorney General, nor even just “AG” before or after my individual Defendant Brnovich)
But then, ”Someone” at the Ninth Circuit forged my lead individual Defendant (Mark Brnovich), to “Attorney General, Attorney General” (yes, saying Attorney General, twice) on to the Appeal Court’s Docket Header [click here], and in other Docket Entries (at least 15 times). Please see the Docket Header of this Exhibit for Defendant Mark Brnovich, versus my lawsuit, my Defendants own pleading Headers (which all have no title for Defendant Brnovich, and have “for acts as” for him ), and the see the next 10 Defendants names, all with “for acts as” (just like my pleadings, and just like my Defendants’ pleadings), then see the Docker Summary at the top of page 5 to this Exhibit; and then see the 1st Entry to the Docket at the top of page 6 (these are just 3 of the 15 plus times “Someone" at the Ninth Circuit forged the Docket).
This term “Attorney General, Attorney General” appeared nowhere in District Court, and the term “for acts as” always did.
Yes, that “Someone” deleted “for acts as,” but only for Defendant Brnovich, no other Defendant (which see [click here] at the bottom of page one]). (Please see Note 7 just below for the importance of this particular forgery.)
Note 7: Using “for acts as” is a part of suing under 42 USC Sec 1983, which is a Federal Law that allows aggrieved parties to sue (in Federal Court) State employees who acted under the color of State law. Again, deleting “for acts as” and forging “Attorney General, Attorney General” on to the Docket was not just clever attorney shit...it is criminal, as is ruling by it...and it wasn’t the Defendants’ attorney who forged these items, it was “Someone” at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Note 8: As I am certain is entirely obvious, even to us non-attorneys, forging “Attorney General, Attorney General” on to the Docket, and having deleted “for acts as,” entirely changed the legal nature of my Defendants (“Appellees” at the Ninth Circuit)…from a group of individuals, to the State…which errantly/criminally gave my individuals a number of protections…and a number of errant/criminal avenues for my Appeal Panel to Affirm GOP Judge Snow, and save my Republican Power Elite Defendants…
…which is, of course, why that “Someone” committed these forgeries/criminal acts! To corruptly Affirm District Court Judge Snow (and save my Arizona GOP Power Elite Defendants).
Have you ever seen the term “Attorney General, Attorney General”?
Neither have I.
Have you ever seen a Court forge the Docket?
Neither had I (until recently…).
Again, the Defendants did not use the term of “Attorney General, Attorney General,” but they did use the term “for acts as,” as has/can be seen. Again, for example, in their own Headers of their 2 Motions to Dismiss in District Court which see [click here] [click here], nor did Judge Snow use this term, nor did I.
My point here? None of these forgeries had occurred in District Court (i.e., these forgeries all occurred at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals).
If I had sued the “Attorney General, Attorney General”...If I had sued the “Attorney General, Attorney General,” or the “Attorney General,” or the “Attorney General’s Office,” or not used “for acts as,” my Defendants would have absolutely used either/both of these titles in their Motions to Dismiss, and claimed I had not sued my Defendants as individuals (which is what “for acts as” is a part of: suing individuals).
And by the way, neither did my Defendants use any of these forgeries/false claims in our District Court Ordered Rule 12.1(c) Meet and Confer Conference...or, again, in any of their District Court pleadings (and again, neither did Judge Snow use/delete such). Nor did my Defendants, as Appellees at the Appeals Court, use/claim/delete any of these terms.
I yelled and screamed at the Appeals Court about their use of the term “Attorney General, Attorney General:” I raised this matter of “Attorney General, Attorney General” with my Appeal Panel of GOP Judges...8 times! (See Docket No’s 23, 47, 48, 49, 52, 53, 54, and 84 below [e.g., see Dkt 84 [click here], which reviewed my earlier pleadings raising this matter].)
But my GOP Appeal Panel refused to address this obvious forgery of the Docket Header and Docket Entries (again, there are at least 15 such forged uses of “Attorney General, Attorney General” or “Attorney General” or the delelted “for acts as”).
By ignoring my 8 pleadings, my Appeal Panel Judges were able to criminally Affirm Judge Snow.
My Appeal Panel affirms just the 1st Oder On-Appeal: My Appeal Panel of GOP Judges Affirmed the 1st Order of Dismissal by using the forged title of “Attorney General, Attorney General” from the forged Docket Header, and by using the deleted “for acts as.” See Dkt No 65 for my Panel’s Order Affirming 1 of 2 of Judge Snow’s 2 Orders of Dismissal (please note the Order Header [click here]).
My Appeal Panel of GOP Judges used Forged Docket Entries to Rule on the 1st of the 2 Appealed District Court Orders: Please take note of the 2 cases my Appeal Panel cited to support their Affirming Judge Snow’s 1 of 2 Orders of Dismissal: Lujan [click here, see page 3] and Linda RS [click here, see, page 3], both of which were cited based on the forged “Attorney General, Attorney General” and the deleted “for acts as” (forged by “Someone” at the Ninth Circuit [no one else would have had access]). Again see the Appeals Court’s Docket Header ([click here] (Please see the Docket Header of this Exhibit for Defendant Mark Brnovich, versus my lawsuit, my Defendants own pleading Headers [all of which have no title for Brnovich, and have “for acts as” for him], and the see the next 10 Defendants names, all with “for acts as” [just like my pleadings, and just like my Defendants’ pleadings]; then see the Docket Summary at the top of page 5 to this Exhibit, and then see the 1st Entry to the Docket at the top of page 6) .
My Appeal Panel citing Lujan is based on my allegedly having sued my individual Defendant as the Attorney General’s Office (see more about this in my Supplemental Brief to the Supreme Court below). Apparently, Someone” having forged my individual to “Attorney General, Attorney General” (whatever that means) morphed him to being the Attorney General’s Office (that is what Lujan is about, government agencies, and the standing required to sue them).
My Appeal Panel citing Linda RS is based on my allegedly having sued my individual Defendant as the Attorney General (see more about this in my Supplemental Brief to the Supreme Court below). Linda RS is about private citizens, such as myself, not having any right to sue a prosecutor for not having charged a party (this is based on one of my Defendants’ frauds, which Judge Snow used in Dismissing my lawsuit).
“Bottom line:” If my Appeal Panel had not had the forged “Attorney General, Attorney General” and the deleted “for acts as” to rule by, they would not have been able to Affirm Judge Snow’s 1 Order of Dismissal (the only Order my Appeal Panel Affirmed).
Note 9: I will later detail these forgeries of “Attorney General, Attorney General” and the deleted “for acts as” to the Supreme Court [click here] [click here], but they will find my GOP Appeal Judges ruling by these criminal forgeries acceptable.
Note 10: Please note, my Appeal Panel also used “Attorney General, Attorney General” and the deleted “for acts as” for their Header of their Order Denying my Motion for Reconsideration [click here].
Note 11: Please note, my Appeal Panel also used “Attorney General, Attorney General” and the deleted “for acts as” for their Header of their Case Mandate [click here].
I yelled and screamed to the Appeals Court about their having “missed” the 2nd of the 2 Judge Snow Orders that were On-Appeal...I raised this matter with my Appeal Panel of their only having Affirmed only 1 of 2 Orders...6 times! (See Docket No’s 85, 86, 88, 92, 93, and 95 below).
But my Appeal Panel did not respond to any of my 6 pleadings raising their having “missed” the 2nd Order (they needed to ignore me, and their not having ruled on the 2nd Order (which see why in Note 12 just below).
Note 12: I believe my Appeal Panel Judges could not find a way to Affirm Snow’s errant 2nd Order of Dismissal (as his ruling was contrary to long established Ninth Circuit Case Law, and the Ninth Circuit’s own “Section 1983 Outline”), and so my Appeal Panel simply did not rule on it, and even refused to acknowledge they had not ruled on it (i.e., they could not think of a way, by case law, nor even forging the Docket again, to Affirm Judge Snow’s 2nd Order…so they simply ignored his 2nd Order of Dismissal, and me).
I detailed my Appeal Panel of GOP Judges having “missed” the 2nd Order to the Supreme Court [click here] [click here], but they (the Supreme Court) apparently found GOP Judges ruling or not ruling on an Appealed and argued On-Appeal Order, for whatever reason, acceptable.
My Appeal Panel of GOP Judges themselves documented that their own ruling in the Appeals Process was corruptly voided: What does my Appeal Panel not ruling on the 2nd Order mean? Asked somewhat differently: What does it mean when my Appeal Court Panel belligerently will not explain itself for not having ruled on an Appealed and argued On-Appeal Order, in spite of their having been asked why not, 6 times?
It means my Appeal Panel did not read the District Court Orders, nor any Appeal documents (or they would have known they needed to rule on 2 Orders).
And it means my Appeal was told how to rule, and whomever told them, missed that there were 2 Orders of Dismissal, for 2 Groups of Defendants/Appellees, that had been Appealed, and argued On-Appeal, by both myself as the Appellant, and the 2 Groups of Defendants/Appellees.
Clearly, the Appeal Process was corruptly/criminally voided.
So, I went to the Supreme Court of the United States: I filed a Petition with the Supreme Court for a Writ of Mandamus for my Appeal Panel to be Ordered to explain its having used a forged title from a forged Docket Header and other forged Docket Entries to rule by for the 1st Order [click here], and [click here] and for not having ruled on the 2nd Order. By my Petition, I asked for an Order of Mandamus to compel the Ninth Circuit to correct these matters.
I made certain the Supreme Court knew that I had not only Served my Petition on my Appeal Panel of 3 GOP Judges, but all other related parties [click here].
The Supreme Court accepted my Petition: Interestingly (amazingly [they have such limited time, and so may Petitions] ), the Supreme Court accepted my Petition, and Ordered the Ninth Circuit to respond to my Petition...but the Ninth Circuit did not Respond (I note the adverse inference of that non-response [click here]).
Post the Ninth Circuit not responding, the Supreme Court Distributed my Petition for Conference for May 30 [click here].
I then became concerned that in my having tried to keep my Petition as short as I could, I had missed a number of salient points, and so I filed a Supplemental Brief [click here].
Note 13: I note that I filed my Supplemental Brief on 5-15-24, 2 weeks before Conference, but that the Supreme Court neither posted my Brief to the Court’s Docket, nor have they returned it (my experience is that they return pleadings with errors, and/or pleadings filed in error). As of today, 6-11-24, they still have not posted or returned it (and the 10 copies).
Note 13 1/2: By not posting my Supplemental Brief, I believe the Supreme Court was trying to hide the detail I gave of the Ninth Circuit’s forgeries to the Docket Header and Docket Entries, which I gave in my Supplemental Brief. I had not given much detail for the forgeries in my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus, and so apparently, the Supreme Court quickly accepted and distributed my Petition for my Appeal Panel having “missed” the 2nd Order of Dismissal. But when the Supreme Court saw my Supplemental Brief on the forgeries (see even just the Synopsis [click here, see page one]), they withheld/buried my Supplemental Brief (and they Denied my Petition).
The Supreme Court Denied my Petition for a Writ of Mandamus [click here], and allowed the GOP Judges’ errant, blatantly criminal acts, to stand (isn’t that endorsing such?): But then, the Supreme Court Denied my Petition (with no explanation of why).
The Supreme Court thereby endorsed my GOP Appeal Panel using “Someone’s” criminal forgeries to rule by, and ignoring an Appealed and argued On-Appeal District Court Order (argued by both sides) .
Thusly, 4 GOP Judges were excused for documented/errant/corrupt/criminal, acts.
I filed a Petition for Reconsideration: I immediately filed a Petition for Reconsideration [click here], as I just cannot believe our Supreme Court allows our Courts to forge Docket Headers and other Docket Entries, so an Appeal Panel (or a Federal District Court) can rule as they want (for whomever they want), or that our Courts can simply decide not to rule on a matter (e.g., a matter they cannot find a way to rule on as they want to, for whomever they want).
Note 14: I note that I filed my Petition for Reconsideration on 6-3-24, but that as of the posting this website update (on 6-11-24), it has not been posted on the Supreme Court’s Docket.
UPDATED: 2/22/24 : The Ninth Circuit has become belligerent, made clear by their refusing to acknowledge the documented corrupt actions by my Panel of 3 Republican Judges...who had been handpicked to Affirm Republican Arizona District Court Chief Judge Snow...who had dismissed my Defendants, Arizona Republican Elites, including that my lead Defendant (a well known GOP stalwart) is married to one of Judge Snow’s Judges...so I detailed the documented reality that proves my Panel acted corruptly, and that the Ninth is running a Watergate-like cover-up: Dkt No 93 (Also see Dkt No’s 85/86/92.)
UPDATED: 2/16/24: In the Court’s abuse of its power, see the Court ignore that my Panel’s Order Affirming Judge Snow documented their corrupt actions in Affirming him; see the Court ignore that “Someone” in the Clerk’s Office had forged who my Defendant is (Dkt No 84); and see the Court ignore that Appellee Dangerfield had not been Affirmed by my Panel’s Affirming Judge Snow (per Dkt No’s 85/86/88).
UPDATED: 2/16/24: See a major new development with my Panel having inadvertently documented their acting corruptly, in their Affirmation of 10 of 11 Defendants: Dkt No’s 85; 86; and 88
UPDATED: 2/09/24: Please see three new sections, with headers in Red, providing further detail, and proof, that Chief Judge Murguia and certain parties under her direction at the Ninth Circuit are acting corruptly (e.g., see “Someone” at the Ninth Circuit forge one of my individual Defendants to a government official, thereby attempting to gift my Defendants the absolute protection of Sovereign Immunity [see Red Header 1 below]; having someone in the IT Department forge who one of my Defendants is [Red Header 2 below]; and having me blocked from e-filing pleadings [Red Header 3 below] [I wonder what else?]; which see [I had to drive from Arizona to San Francisco to file my 2 most recent pleadings: Dkt No’s 82/83/84, which also see]).
How Two Longtime Phoenix Based Judges Became Corrupt for One to Rescue the Other as Both Sought to Protect Also Longtime and Influential Associates/Friends.
“Arizona’s Corruption Only Provides Justice For Some”
I would appreciate your time and permission to allow me to introduce you to a travesty of Justice caused by the Chief Judge of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, Judge Mary H. Murguia, who herself has long been based in Phoenix, and has been moving in the upper echelon of Arizona legal circles for over 30 years; the Chief Judge for the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, Judge G. Murray Snow (the District Office is in Phoenix), who has been moving in the upper echelon of Arizona legal circles for over 35 years; a formidable group of Arizona “Power Elites” (11 of whom, for my injuries, by their documented criminal acts, became/are Defendants to a Complaint I filed [a “Complaint” is a lawsuit, for us laypeople]) (see an overview of who these Power Elites are in my Opening Brief below, Chapter 3, Sec III as Exhibit 7 in Ex packet 1-13), who are “the protected” here; and a Phoenix law firm, more powerful than the law firm in John Grisham’s novel, “The Firm” (this Phoenix based firm is commonly know as the “evil empire” in Arizona legal circles); creating an incredibly powerful, and corrupt, Phoenix centric “cabal,” if you will. Please see an 8 page narrative for much more on this story and my below pleadings and Court records, by clicking here.
The evidence/records I have, take us way beyond the Civil standard of “a preponderance of the evidence”...I have proof by the criminal standard of “beyond a reasonable doubt.” Exhibits 12 & 13 prove that Defendants did not act by “declining to indict” but they acted by committing criminal acts as in my Complaint.
Supressing the Truth
The Arizona Daily Independent tried to cover/tell my story… but they were harassed, and even threatened (see the below headlines from the ADI, and click [when the ADI; ABC Phoenix; CBS Phoenix; and my State Representative were scared away, I began a series of legal actions, although I had/have no education or skills for such, nor for creating a website.
My State Representative tried to help, until he was harassed, and threatened. See his attempt to bring this corruption to the Arizona House floor in the article below:
Click video for Investigators PPT report
My Opening Brief
As described throughout, Judge Snow forged who my 11 individual Defendants are, to the State, thereby gifting them Sovereign Immunity (although, Defendants did not claim such, not in our Court Ordered Meet and Confer, nor even in their 2 Motions to Dismiss); and, by using Defendants’ fraud that I alleged they simply “declined to indict,” he ruled that I had “no standing,” rather than rule by what my Complaint actually says: my Defendants injured me by their documented corrupt and criminal acts; and Judge Snow dismissed, by boldface lying, saying I did not give “any reason” why the Statutes of Limitation had been suspended, or Res judicata voided, when my Complaint Sec II, is 42 pgs with 76 Ex’s and over 300 references to those Ex’s why they are suspended/voided; and Judge Snow ignored 5 AGO Records my Defendants had earlier forged and based their later “defenses” on, but such a scheme has been not accepted in American Colonial/US Courts, not since 1694/5, see Booth v Lord Warrington (Ch’s 1a/1b); and Judge Snow dismissed Defendant Dangerfield saying that his (Dangerfield’s) merely being my Defendants’ past, successful, attorney, does not give any basis for liability, when the Ninth Circuit has well settled that attorneys representing State employees and/or entities having acted under the color of law, can also held liable under 42 USC Sec 1983.
Again, please see my Brief Chapters 1a/1b re the 5 Forged AGO Records voiding any potential defense; see Ch’s 2/3 re my Defendants’ lack of immunity but Judge Snow gifting them such; Ch 4 re “declined to indict” et al; Ch 5 re Statutes of Limitation and Res judicata; and Ch 6 re Dangerfield’s liability (all of which my Appeals Panel of 3 Judges will ignore, which see).
The evidence/records I presented, take us way beyond the Civil standard of “a preponderance of the evidence”...I have proof by the criminal standard of “beyond a reasonable doubt.”
The Ninth Circuit Panel of 3 Judges Affirmed Judge Snow
With all of the work I put into my Opening Brief (and a number of related Motions, et al), Chief Judge Murguai’s 3 handpicked Republican appointed Judges (Judge Snow, and most of my Defendants are prominent Arizona Republicans), they issued a 2 sentence Affirmation of Judge Snow, not addressing any of my arguments or evidence in my Brief, saying:
“The district court properly dismissed Graven’s action because Graven failed to allege facts sufficient to demonstrate Article III standing” (see Judge Snow’s Order of dismissal as Ex 5 to the pleading “A Desperate…” at Dkt No 77 below).
In other words, because I had supposedly alleged my Defendants had “declined to indict,” although that is nowhere in my Complaint, but my alleging they injured me by criminal acts is, over 100 times, I had no standing. And, because my Defendants, as AGO employees/prosecutors have the right to “decline to indict,” my Panel ruled I have no say in that:
“[A] private citizen lacks a judicially cognizable interest in the prosecution or nonprosecution of another.”
But...I did not allege they “declined to indict”! See Opening Brief, Ch 4. I challenged the Court to run a search of my Complaint…to look for ”declined to indict”…it is not there, not anywhere (except my describing Defendants’ previous use of this fraudulent claim of ”declined to indict” [and derivatives of it, e.g: “ refusal to indict”; “decision not to indict; ” et al]).
See my efforts just below at Dkt No 73 to have the Court(s) recognize that I had not used ”declined to indict” et al by requesting the Court take “Judicial Notice” of this fact.
My Panel ignored all of Judge Snow’s other obvious signs of a corrupt ruling, including they ignored he had not followed the Rules of Civil Procedure and Case Law for a motion to dismiss (which requires the Judge to take what the plaintiff says as factual/truthful; see the plaintiff ‘s claims in the most favorable light; and more that is favorable to the plaintiff).
1. Further Evidence of Judge Murguia’s corruption: She had someone forge one of my individual Defendants from being an individual to being a State Official, thereby attempting to support Judge Snow’s having forged my individual Defendants to the State, to gift Sovereign Immunity to my individual Defendants (who had no immunity, by Statute, Case Law, and the Arizona State Agency Handbook).
“Someone” in the Ninth Circuit Clerk of Court’s Office, and/or “Someone” who has access to the Court’s Docket, attempted to mislead my Panel by creating the illusion that my individually named Defendant Mark Brnovich, for corrupt and criminal acts he committed as Attorney General...was actually named in my Complaint as Attorney General Mark Brnovich. (As his/his Co-Defendants’ corrupt and criminal acts were outside their Scope of Employment/Authority, he/they severed himself/all Defendants from the State, and they disqualified themselves from Qualified Immunity [as individuals, they would not have had Sovereign Immunity]).
Why is this important? Why did “Someone” at the Court commit this criminal act? Because suing a State Officer is the same as suing the State (see Will v Michigan, US Supreme Court), meaning the Official/State is protected by the 14th Amendment for State Sovereign Immunity.
I excluded the State, and its Treasury, throughout my Complaint (see the importance of this in Dugan v Rank, US, as I have cited it in various pleadings [if the plaintiff is seeking State funds, the lawsuit is against the State]); my Defendants’ Summons were in their individual names (see Ex’s 3-11) ; each was Served at home (Ex’s 3-11); I sued, in part, under 42 USC §1983 (which allows for State parties who acted under the color of State law to be sued as individuals) (see my Opening Brief above, Ex 1; or see my Complaint below, Causes of Action); my Defendants’ acts were outside their Scope of Employment/Authority, so they severed themselves from the State, and they disqualified themselves from Qualified Immunity; etc (see my Opening Brief Ch 2).
My Defendants’ attorneys did not claim to be representing the State (Ex 5); my Defendants did not claim to be the State, nor did they claim Sovereign Immunity, in our Court Ordered Meet and Confer Proceedings (again, Ex 5), or in their Motions to Dismiss (Ex 4) (they do later cite Judge Snow gifting them Sovereign Immunity, but do not argue for it in their Answer Brief, or anywhere else). The State did not: Retain counsel in District Court; did not file a Joinder in District Court; did not retain counsel for this Appeal; the State did not ask to be a part of this Appeal.
But Someone at the Ninth Circuit forged my individual Defendants Mark Brnovich to Attorney General, Attorney Genera (yes, they repeat it twice)l Mark Brnovich (Ex’s 6 and 7).
This “description” of my individual Defendant Brnovich did not come the District Court Docket (Ex ‘s 2 and 3), nor my Complaint (see below at “My Complaint…”), nor any of the District Court’s Orders (e.g., my Opening Brief, Ex 22) , nor any of my other pleadings, nor any of my Defendants’ pleadings.
There was no place to copy “Attorney General Brnovich” from...”Someone” at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals simply made it up/forged it.
Here is the short version of proving what I have just alleged: Please see the Defendants’ header of my Complaint below at “My Complaint…” and/or see their own headers on their own pleadings (e.g., Ex 4), all of which list individuals for acts at what their position was when they committed their criminal acts; please see the District Court Docket (Ex 2), and please note that each of my Defendants is lsited as an individual (i.e., there no one, such as Mark Brnovich, who is listed by his/her title, such as Attorney General Mark Brnovich)…bu then see the Appeals Court’s Docket (Ex 7), e.g., as the first Defendant/Appellee, or at Entry 1, in which individual Mark Brnovich is then listed as Attorney General, Attorney General (yes, twice) Mark Brnovich; and see my Emergency Motion (Ex 8) to have the Court correct the many fraudulent entries of Attorney General Brnovich on the Court’s Docket (see 12 such forged entries, in my Motion for Default Judgment, Ex 11 Sec II).
The Court, and my Panel who Affirmed Judge Snow, ignored my efforts to raise this issue, in the following pleadings (see Ex’s 8-13):
a.) MY CORRESPONDENCE 3 WITH THE COURT: APPELLANT’S REQUEST FOR THE COURT TO HAVE THE CLERK CORRECT THE DOCKET MIS-ENTRIES FOR DEFENDANT MARK BRNOVICH (Ex 1);
b.) APPELLANT’S EMERGENCY MOTION FOR THE COURT TO RECOGNIZE AND ELIMINATE ARIZONA DISTRICT COURT CORRUPTION THAT HAS MADE ITS WAY TO THIS RESPECTED NINTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS (See Form 16 Attchd as Exhibit 1.) (Ex 8);
c.) My CORRESPONDENCE 4: A COORDINATED, FORGED/CORRUPT PLAN TO MANIPULATE THIS COURT INTO A MAL-INFORMED AFFIRMATION OF JUDGE SNOW’S ERRANT DISMISSAL OF MY COMPLAINT HAS BEEN EXPOSED (See my Corr 3, Dkt No 47; my Emergency Motion, Dkt No 48 (filed 1 month ago); and my Reply to Appellees’ No-Response, Dkt No 49.) (Ex 10);
d.) My MOTION FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT TO REVERSE JUDGE SNOW FOR APPELLEES AND COURT PERSONNEL FRAUDS ON THIS COURT (Ex 11);
e.) APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT TO OVERTURN JUDGE SNOW FOR APPELLEES’ CONTINUED, DELIBERATE, VOLUMINOUS, FRAUDS ON THE COURT (SEE APPELLEES’ ALLEGED MOTION TO BAR, DKt No 56, WHICH IS AT CONTROVERSY HERE) (Ex 13).
Not only did the Court do nothing about this fraudulent effort by “Someone” forging who my Defendant really is, in my Panel’s Affirming Judge Snow, they stuck their collective finger in my eye, as they themselves used Attorney General, Attorney General Mark Brnovich (again, per just above, The Ninth Circuit Panel Affirmed in Dkt No 65, page 1) (albeit, they did not Affirm by Someone’s attempt to give my Defendants’ Sovereign Immunity):
“MARK BRNOVICH, Attorney General, Attorney General; et al., Defendants-Appellees.
To me, my Panel using the forgery of my individual Defendant Mark Brnovich to Attorney General, Attorney General Mark Brnovich…while ignoring my pleadings repeatedly raising this issue…is a testament to their corruptly Affirming Judge Snow by an allegation that is not in my Complaint, and is in fact antithetical to my Complaint (again, see Dkt No’s 68-79). Doesn’t this forgery raise the issue of what other corrupt acts by the Court, are there?
My 1st Motion for Reconsideration
Within hours of receiving my Panel’s just above Affirmation of Judge Snow, I had (too hurriedly) filed my first Motion Reconsideration. I will admit, I was, at the risk of being melodramatic, in a state of shock. Shortly after filing (hours, not days) my first drafted Motion, I noticed a number of errors, and so I refiled my Motion to correct those errors (hence, my pleading says: “Notice of Errata,” meaning, for us laypeople: Notice of Errors), and I added that I would like an “En Banc” panel, meaning an 11 Judge Panel, rather my original 3 Judge Panel would review the Affirmation.
As you will see, in this Motion, I was yelling and screaming, at the top of lungs, that I did not allege “declined to indict” et al anywhere in my Complaint. My yelling and screaming will get louder, as I had been screwed by this fraudulent claim...this/one too many times.
How could my Panel Affirm by a claim that is not in my Complaint, which was actually covered in my Complaint and Brief as “watch-out for this fraud, it’s not true but Defendants will use it”...this fraud was very well covered in my Brief Ch 4 (see a portion of Ch 4 in this Motion). I have covered this fraud in a number of pleadings...but it is such a good one, Defendants and corrupt Judges have used and reused it.
I Re-Filed my Earlier Filed Dkt No 35 for 2 Requests for Judicial Notice (“RJN”)
For the not-legally experienced reading this, a “Request for Judicial Notice” is a simple, but interesting/useful legal maneuver. If a party asks for the Court to take Judicial Notice of one issue/fact or another (the opposing party may fight the Request), and if the Court grants Notice, there is then no arguing later as to the truthfulness of that issue/fact or its being admitted in Court.
The textbook example of this was a young attorney representing someone who had been accused of murder...the young attorney asked for the Court to take Notice that on the night of the murder there was no moon. Later, when the prosecutor’s star witness was called, and testified that he could see the defendant commit the murder...the young attorney stood up and noted that the witness was some blocks away, on a pitch black dark night (reminding the Court of its taking Notice of there being no moon on the night of the murder), and so the witness could not have seen that distance to the scene of the crime or what had happened at that distance.
The case was dismissed...the young attorney was Abraham Lincoln.
I Requested the Court take Judicial Notice that there is no place in my Complaint that I alleged “declined to indict” et al or that I had claimed to have a Federal Right to have someone prosecuted (another fraudulent claim my Defendants used to confuse the Judge[s]).
Please note, this RJN was first filed on 6/2/23, 6 months before my Panel Affirmed by Defendants and Judge Snow’s very fraudulent claim of: “declined to indict” et al.
Also please note (in this RJN), I reminded the Court that I had filed a Motion for an Accelerated Ruling at the very beginning of my Appeal (Court of Appeals Dkt No 3), asking the Court to quickly overturn Judge Snow’s dismissal, because...you guessed it...because I had not claimed my Defendants had “declined to indict” et al as Judge Snow had dismissed by.
Neither the Appeals Court at large, nor my Panel responded to, or even mentioned my extremely probative Requests for Judicial Notice (which were for facts as important as there being no moon on the night of the murder).
I filed a Desperate Correspondence to Chief Judge Murguia
I was coming unglued, plain and simple, and I filed a desperate plea for Justice with Chief Judge Murguia.
Why did I approach/bother the Chief Judge of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals for my simple case?
Because I had discovered that as Chief Judge, she was not in San Francisco, where the Ninth Circuit is “located,” but that she was in known-to-be-corrupt Arizona, Phoenix, and had always been there, not only since joining the Arizona District Court, so even before she was moved up to the Ninth Circuit she had been in Phoenix...but I had learned that she has been an attorney at the US Attorney’s Office in Phoenix for a number years before becoming a Judge...and so collectively, she had been in the upper echelon of Arizona legal circles for over 30 years (i.e.., she well knew Judge Snow; my Defendants; and the law firm they had acted to protect.
So had I learned, that she had long been working right next door to District Court Chief Judge Snow, for almost 20 years (and that her Chambers are in the same locale as the wife of my lead Defendant Mark Brnovich, Judge Susan Brnovich).
So again, I realized, she had long worked with, as Judge Snow has also, most of my Defendants, and the law firm they acted to protect, and so I filed my desperate Correspondence.
With these waves of information, and what I then perceived as what was behind why Chief Judge Murguia (Democratically appointed) having handpicked a Panel of 3 Republican Judges. I realized: she picked a Panel to Affirm/rescue her longtime associate Republican Judge Snow, and most of my Defendants, also well-known Republican Power Elites in Arizona, as is the law firm known to be a supporter of Republican causes (e.g., Snell & Wilmer was Mark Brnovich political sponsor for Attorney General).
Plain and simple: Judge Murguia handpicked a Panel to rescue/Affirm Judge Snow; rescue my Defendants; and indirectly benefit the law firm.
So I filed this emotional plea (Dkt No 77) to Chief Judge Murguia, begging her to bring Justice back into my Case…by arguing every point by which Judge Snow had clearly, corruptly, dismissed my Complaint, and how my Panel had merely followed her instructions to rubber stamp/Affirm…by an assertion of Judge Snow’s, that is not even in my Complaint (while ignoring all else Judge Snow had done errantly), and has been shown to be Defendants’ fraud, countless times.
My Complaint is Against 11 Individuals Who Injured me by Their Corrupt and Criminal Acts
In my Complaint, I alleged, over 100 times, my Defendants injured me by their documented corrupt and criminal acts, first as they “exonerated” the Snell Parties (who had been approved to be indicted by the just previous Attorney General); and then when they committed more criminal acts as they attempted to cover their tracks from having criminally “exonerated” the Snell Parties; and then, they committed even more criminal acts as they “defended” themselves in Court(s) against my legal efforts. See Exhibit 11 AGO Special Agent’s PPT for the Grand Jury for the grand jury to indict the Snell case suspects.
For examples of their documented acts, see just below, and see such throughout my Complaint; see in my Opening Brief Chapter 7 Statement of the Case (which is Ex 9 above in my Opening Brief Exhibit packet No’s 1-13). For the just below examples of my Defendants’ corrupt and criminal acts, see my Complaint Ex’s 12 and 13 in the packet of Complaint Exhibits No’s 10-19.
Documented Examples of Defendants Corrupt and Criminal Acts
Defendant Ahler gave Notice (Ex 12 at Ref 1) that he was conflicted with the prosecution/continuing investigation of the Snell & Wilmer Criminal Case (Ref 2) (in part, as his son is an attorney with Snell [they were also Defendant Brnovich’s political sponsor]).
Six Snell Case suspects were found during the investigation and were then approved to be indicted by then-Attorney General Tom Horne.
Ahler’s boss, Defendant Conrad, Screened him (Ref 3), as required by Statute; Case Law; and the Arizona Agency Handbook (the State’s employee manual). The evidence/records I have, take us way beyond the Civil standard of “a preponderance of the evidence”...I have proof by the criminal standard of “beyond a reasonable doubt.”
Exhibits 12 & 13 prove that the Defendants did not act by “declining to indict” but they acted by committing criminal acts.
But then, Ahler participated (Ex 13 at Ref 1) with Conrad and Defendant Waters in the Snell Case Charging Papers, removing the names of the 4 Snell Parties (the law firm and 3 of its attorneys) (Ref 2). This left just 1 suspect to be indicted... but for conspiring with the 4 Snell Parties (Cmplnt Ex 14) (see Note 1).
The 6th suspect had already signed a Plea Agreement (Cmplnt Ex 10), for conspiring with the 5 Snell Case suspects, agreeing to testify against the remaining 5 suspects.
Ahler participating in the Snell Case Charging Papers is Criminal Conflict of Interest (ARS 38-510); Conrad enabling Ahler is Criminal Facilitation (ARS 13-1004); Conrad, Ahler and Water discussing these matters is Criminal Conspiracy (ARS 13-1003); their removing the Snell Parties names is Criminal Forgery (ARS 13-1002); etc.
Defendants then dismissed a number of confessed felons, who, not coincidentally, were to testify against the 5 remaining Snell Case suspects (cases dismissed included the one Snell Case defendant who had pled guilty and signed a Plea Agreement; and others felons who had knowledge of the Snell Case crimes but had been convicted for different, but related crimes); felons whose cases were dismissed included felons that were paying me restitution; and many more injurious acts (see their “Supporting Acts” below; in my Opening Brief Ch 1b, Sec I; and see my Cmplnt Sec II-I, Par’s 407-409 and Ex’s).
For even more of Defendants’ crimes, see my Complaint Paragraphs 33-45, with more evidence/Exhibits.
Note 1 This is the same Snell & Wilmer that is a part of the Ninth Circuit’s Pro Bono Program.
Supporting Acts
Quickly, Defendants “Supporting Acts” include (which see where described above): they concealed records; refused records requests; denied records existed; fired active investigators; threatened witnesses; forged records to stop restitution I was receiving; manufactured evidence; dismissed completed criminal cases against already convicted criminals (who were to testify against the Snell Parties); committed repeated Frauds and other deceptive acts on the Court(s); and hid their corrupt and criminal acts behind/abused the 11th Amendment for State Sovereignty... all to exonerate the Snell Parties for their criminal acts, and to cover their own tracks left from the acts they committed exonerating the Snell Parties, and then they committed even acts “defending” themselves in Court against my legal efforts.
As I stated many times: I alleged and provided evidence for my injuries by Defendants’ documented corrupt criminal acts, not their allegedly having “declined to indict,” et al the Snell Parties; and for dismissing cases against convicted felons who were paying me restitution; and much more.
I filed a Desperate Correspondence to Chief Judge Murguia:
I was coming unglued, plain and simple, and I filed a desperate plea for Justice with the Chief Judge of the Ninth Circuit of Appeal, Judge Mary H. Murguia.
I had discovered that as Chief Judge, she was not in San Francisco, where the Ninth Circuit is “located,” but that she was in Phoenix, and had always been there since joining the Ninth Circuit... and that she had been an attorney at the US Attorney’s Office in Phoenix for a number years...and so had been in Arizona legal circles for over 30 years.
And so I realized, she had been working right next door to District Chief Judge, G Murray Snow, for almost 20 years (and that her Chambers are in the same locale as the wife of my lead Defendant Mark Brnovich, Judge Susan Brnovich).
And so I realized, she had long worked with, as Judge Snow has also, most of the Defendants, and the law firm they acted to protect.
With these waves of information, and what I perceived as the corruption behind why Chief Judge Murguia (Democratically appointed) handpicked a Panel of 3 Republican Judges, to rescue Republican Judge Snow, and most of my Defendants who are well-known Republican Power Elites in Arizona, Judge Murguia handpicked a Panel.
So I filed an emotional plea, to Chief Judge Murguia, to bring Justice back into my Case…by arguing every point by Which Judge had clearly, corruptly, dismissed, and how my Panel and merely followed her instructions to rubber stamp/Affirm…by an assertion of Judge Snow’s, that is not in my Complaint, and has been shown to be Defendants’ fraud, countless times.
My Open Correspondence 1 to Judge Murguia
As I regained my senses/balance, and could see just how corrupt, and why my Panel had Affirmed Judge Snow (again, see who my Defendants are), and that this corruption had infected my Panel/the Ninth Circuit through Judge Murguia’s obvious associations/conflicts, it became apparent that she had acted corruptly to protect her longtime office neighbor, Judge Snow, my Defendants, and the law firm they acted to protect (I made this an “Open” Correspondence, hoping other Circuit Judges, and other servants of Justice at the Ninth Circuit would see my Correspondence).
In my Open Correspondence 1, I called the situation what it is, saying that it had blown up in her Court, and that she needed to clean-up this/her mess.
I asked if she would pull a “Watergate,” and ignore/make the situation worse, or meet this mess head-on and do the right thing(s).
I told her I wanted to see that she had set a Hearing to clean this mess up (per my Motion for a Hearing in Dkt No 77), and that I wanted to see that Hearing set by Friday, January 19, at 5:00PM (this Correspondence was on a Thursday, the week before the week of Jan 15/19).
I concluded my Open Correspondence 1 by saying there was no legitimate reason to not grant me a Hearing.
My Final Plea for a Hearing by Open Correspondence 2 to Chief Judge Murguia 3 days Before my Deadline of 5:00 PM on 1/19/24 to have a set Hearing
On the Wednesday morning before my Friday deadline, I filed one last plea for a Hearing, giving Chief Judge Murgia 9 bullet points of why Judge Snow’s dismissal was clearly corrupt, and that her Panel’s directed rubber stamp Affirming Judge Snow, was also, clearly, blatantly, corrupt.
And I reminded Judge Murguia that someone in the Clerk’s Office had forged my individual Defendant Mark Brnovich, to Attorney General, Attorney General, Mark Brnovich (a title, which until this forgery, appeared nowhere in the record: not in the Appeals Court; not in District Court; not in any of my or my Defendants’ pleadings). I filed an Emergency Motion asking for this forgery to be stricken, Dkt No’s 47/48, but the Court ignored such.
My Panel, so as to stick their collective finger in my eye, used Attorney General, Attorney General, Mark Brnovich on the cover of their Order Affirming Judge Snow (see their Order above at Dkt No 65).
I did not hear from Judge Murguia by 5:00 PM January 19, 2024, so my website went live Sunday January 21, 2024.
The time by which I had asked Chief Judge Murguia of the Court of Appeals to set a time/date for a Hearing, which was 5:00PM, on Friday, January 19, to confront the corrupt Affirmation of Judge Snow by my Panel, came and went.
Although I had been hopeful Judge Murguia would not ignore/hide from what she had done to support her longtime Judicial neighbor in Phoenix, Republican Judge Snow and protect my Republican Power Elite Defendants, that is exactly what she did.
Although I had been hopeful, I was prepared for her taking the wrong direction and using the “Nixon/Watergate” route, which, as is well known, is to attempt to evade/cover-up what she had done for Judge Snow, by her handpicked Panel.
So the website I had prepared for Judge Murguia possibly taking the wrong direction, went live Monday morning, January 22.
And although she had attempted to steal the balance of my life, and my Family’s futures, with her corruption, I extended her the courtesy of providing her notice of the website, and its address.
I have filed a number of pleadings regarding “ declined to indict,” et al (in just my most recent Case, which is my 5th Complaint over the past almost 8 years), in my efforts to achieve Justice for the criminal acts and resulting injuries by my influential and powerful Defendants.
I am particularly disgusted, almost overwhelmingly, by the...is “overt” corruption the right adjective? Blatant? Flagrant?
I’ll go with flagrant, as what Republican Judge Snow did (several of my 11 Defendants are Republican Power Elites in Arizona), and Judge Murguia arranged to be Affirmed, by her handpicked Panel of 3 Republican Judges, are gross violations and abuses of our Rule of Law; Judicial Ethics; and of our Justice System.
My Panel Affirmed Judge Snow’s dismissal of my Complaint by his having ruled that I had alleged in my Complaint that my Defendants had merely “declined to indict” the Snell Parties, which is in stark contrast to what my Complaint actually alleges, more than 100 times, and provides evidence for...which is that I alleged and provided evidence for my Defendants having injured me by their documented criminal acts.
I had filed a number of pleadings detailing how Defendants’ defense by “declined to indict” et al, was fraudulent, and Judge Snow’s use of it was fraudulent..
To make it clear to one and all (particularly for the ethical parties at the Ninth Circuit), although my Panel’s corrupt Affirmation is obvious, as there are so many pleadings that detail how “declined to indict” et al, is a fraud, I decided to file a Correspondence with the Court of Appeals listing the pleadings in my Appeal that my Panel could not have accidentally missed, which made clear: “declined to indict” et al, was fraudulent (both by my Defendants’ use, and then by Judge Snow’s use).
2. Judge Murguia endeavors to prove her Court is corrupt, by having senior level IT parties secretly block me from e-filing my pleadings, while not informing IT Staff of her having blocked me.
On Thursday morning, February 1, 2024, I signed into my CM/ECF account at the Ninth Circuit (Ex 1a), as I have done many, many times. This time, to file what would be Dkt No 82 (my Notice of Intent, which because of the Court’s Order of handling my in-person filed pleading, became Dkt No 83)
I moved through the Court’s e-form, filling in where required, to e-file my Notice of intent (Ex’s 1a and 1b [see Ex’s 1a, 1b, and 1c just above]).
When I clicked the Court’s e-file “Continue” button (which see at the bottom of the page of Ex 1b), I received the standard Internet “Error 404” noting “Object not found!” message (Ex 1c).
While I am jumping ahead a bit, please note the Court’s URL address following a click of its “Continue” button, which takes the user to the “Submit” page, at the top of Ex 1c...and compare it to an email I will receive from the Court later in that day, with the Court asking/confirming that I am entering the correct URL address (Ex 1d).
You will see the address given by me by my clicking the Court’s “Continue” button (again, at the top of Ex 1c), is the same address as what the Court gave/asked for confirmation of in Ex 1d (i.e., my clicking “Continue” should have taken me to the “Submit” page).
Please note: I do not manually enter this URL address (although the Count, in Ex 1d, asked if I was using the correct address/link), it is “entered” by the Court’s own “Continue” button/instructions... I have no input into what address I am being linked to (it is the link to the Submit page, at which, when I click the “Submit” button, my pleading is e-filed).
Thusly, by realizing the Court enters the URL, that the URL entered by my clicking “Continue” was entered by the Court’s CM/ECF system, and that the address the Court system did enter the court URL (which see at the top of the page of Ex 1c), which matched the URL address the Court asked me to confirm, so all match...but I received the Error 404 message...means, what?
It means that some senior IT party put a false link in my CM/ECF account, to prevent me from filing any any pleadings (please see mutiple partes at the Court, including IT Staff, spend that day, Thursday. trying to overcome this false link/block [Ex’s 2 through 33, with Ex’s 30-33 showing my several calls to the Court], and conclude there was nothing they could do to fix it...agreeing I should use FedEx... [Ex’s 25a and 25b] [by which I suspected my FedEx package would “be lost” in the mailroom]).
I repeatedly stated in my communications with the Court that it was clear to me that there was a “bug” in their system, and that I was being blocked.
I asked several times if I Should FedEx my pleadings (meant to be tongue in check).
Court IT staff will inadvertently confirm that some form of senior party(ies) IT corruption had been used in my CM/ECF account to block me from e-filing my pleadings, which see below in Red Header 3 below.
So on Thursday February 1, I learned I was blocked from my CM/ECF account, by apparently senior level parties at the Ninth Circuit (as several parties including the IT Staff I worked with in attempting to overcome the technical “issue” I was having, and others at the Court who assisted, were not able to overcome the issue that was keeping me from e-filing , and they clearly did not have any knowledge of my being blocked).
The next day, Friday, I was feeling badly about being blocked, and not being able to file what I believed was an important pleading (that was to be Dkt No 82, but because of the Court’s timing, became No 83 [which see below]), giving Notice of Intent to file a lawsuit against my 5 Judges, as individuals), trying to decide how I could have my pleading filed (and how I would file a planned follow-on pleading, which should have been Dkt No 83, but which see as No 82).
I did not believe sending my pleading via FedEx would work, as I was quite certain my envelope would get lost in the mailroom (I asked the IT Staff, et al, on Thursday, if my envelope would get lost, but no one answered).
While giving thought to all of this (Ex’s 1a and 1b), I recalled that the IT Staff, et al, had commented the day before that they had confirmed I was not blocked (Ex’s 2a and 2b); and they could not “reproduce” the issue I was having (Ex’s 3a, 3b, and 3c); and I recalled they had confirmed the URL address that my clicking the “Continue” button should take me to (Ex 4, which compare to the header in Ex 3c).
At the end of the day Thursday (see Ex 5a, 4:57PM MST), IT Staff, et al, gave up, and suggested I use FedEx to file my pleading (Ex 5a and 5b):
“Thank you for trying again. Since we cannot provide you with any further assistance, yes, please FedEx your filing.
Once received by the Court, it will be entered on the docket in your case.”
So, on Friday...as I did “the math” of IT Staff, et al, telling me my account was not blocked (Ex 3a); that they could not “reproduce” the issue I was having (also Ex 3a); and that the URL address the Court’s “Continue” button was taking me to was the correct URL (Ex’s 4/Ex 3c); and that they could not overcome the issue (Ex’s 5a/5b), it occurred to me on Friday afternoon, that as they could not reproduce my issue...who/how were they signing in as, may be the root of issue.
So, I emailed IT Staff, asking (Ex 6):
“I have a question for you: when you say you could not reproduce my issue, had you signed in as yourself, or as me?”
Their response is very telling (Ex 7):
“We have a test user account, so we can log in as a public (non-court) filer for testing purposes.”
In other words, it is just me, Will Graven, who had been blocked (by someone with access to the inner workings of the Court’s CM/ECF system.
3. Court IT Staff inadvertently confirm/prove that senior level Court parties had secretly and corruptly blocked me from e-filing pleadings (I drove from Flagstaff, Arizona to San Francisco to file Dkt No’s 82 and 83 below).
I informed the Ninth Circuit that I would be filing a civil lawsuit against my five documented, corrupt, Judges, as individuals: Dkt No 83
Quite simply, now (post my Notice of Intent, Dkt No 83) that Judges Murguia, Snow, Wallace, Lee, and Bumatay know I will be filing a civil Complaint against them, they should not be a part of my Appeal/Motion for Reconsideration En Banc.
And so I filed this Emergency Motion to Disqualify them from my Appeal.
This is the second document I filed by my having driven to San Francisco to file.
This second pleading was filed at 10:20AM, on Monday, February 5 (the first pleading was filed at 9:11AM), and should have appeared as Dkt No 83.
But the Court processed this Emergency Motion first, and so it became Dkt No 82, and the second pleading (my Notice of Intent) became Dkt No 83 (so some context in the two documents is out of order).
As my five documented, corrupt, Judges, now know I will be filing a civil lawsuit against them, and so we are known adversaries, I filed a Motion with the Ninth Circuit to disqualify the 4 Circuit Judges from participating in my Motion for Reconsideration En Banc: Dkt No 82
My Panel of 3 Republican Judges, handpicked by Judge Murguia, Affirmed Republican Judge Snow on 12-15-23.
I filed a Motion for Reconsideration later that day (Dkt No 68), and I filed have a series of important pleadings since (which see here on this webpage, Dkt No’s 73, 76, 77, 78 and 79).
Over this period since 12-15-23, including my recently finding out I had been secretly blocked by senior Parties at the Ninth Circuit from e-filing any pleadings (IT Staff, et al, was not aware of or able to overcome this blocking), it has become clear that, Judge Murguia is taking the “Watergate” route of making the cover-up as bad as or even worse than the original acts committed.
As a result, I have decided to file a civil complaint (lawsuit, not a Judicial Complaint) against Judges Murguia, Snow, Wallace, Lee, and Bumatay.
Contrary to popular belief, a Federal Judge can be sued for acts that:
1.) were outside of their Judicial capacity/scope of authority/employment;2.) were with malice;
3.) were corrupt;
4.) were connected/coordinated;
5.) violated Federal Statutes; and
6.) violated Constitutional Rights.
And so, I gave this Notice to the Ninth Circuit that I would be filing a Complaint against 4 of its Judges.
I drove from Flagstaff, Arizona to San Francisco to file this and one more related pleading.
This pleading was filed at 9:11AM on 2-5-24, and should have been Dkt No 82.
The second pleading, an Emergency Motion to Disqualify the 4 Ninth Circuit Judges from my Appeal, was filed at 10:20AM, and should have appeared as Dkt No 83. But the Court processed my Emergency Motion first, and so it became Dkt No 82 (so some context in the two documents is out of order).
In reviewing my pleadings and overall efforts, while working on this website… I was reminded, and shocked by, the fact that I had several outstanding pleadings regarding someone in the clerks office, or someone who had access to the courts docket, having forged who my lead defendant is, from an individual defendant, to being an officer of the state.
My individual lead defendant was Mark Brnovich, whose wife is a judge on Judge Snow’s court .
There is nowhere on the district court docket, in any of my pleadings, in any of the Defendants’ pleadings, or in any orders from any judge in the District Court, in which Mark Brnovich is referred to as Attorney General Attorney General Mark Brnovich (see why I repeat Attorney General twice, below)..
But someone at the Ninth Circuit forged individual Mark Brnovich to being Attorney General, Attorney General Mark Brnovich .
Why is this significant?
Because suing an officer of the state is the same as suing the state, which thereby gives the Defendant or Defendants state sovereign immunity (see Will v Michigan, US supreme court) .
Someone at the Ninth Circuit forging individual Mark Brnovich to Attorney General, Attorney General Mark Brnovich was a set up to thereby affirm judge snow by my allegedly having sued an officer of the state .
And so, in the pleading I filed here at docket number 84, (which see, click the blue header above) I asked the court if it realized that when my panel affirmed judge snow, that they (my Panel) had ignored the forgery of my lead defendant.
And I asked the court, more than once, doesn’t the corruption required to forge my lead defendant on the Ninth Circuit’s docket, suggest that there may be, or likely is, other corruption involved in the appeals court’s affirming Judge.
With the 2-month anniversary of my Panel Affirming 10 of my 11 Defendants fast approaching, I filed a Motion with the Court, asking the Court to Clarify/Make Known that Appellee Dangerfield’s dismissal had not been Affirmed: Dkt No 85
With the 2 month anniversary of my Panel’s Affirming the dismissal of 10 of my 11 Defendants by District Court Judge Snow fast approaching, it became apparent to me that my Panel (of 3 Circuit Judges) would not be ruling on my 11th Defendant, Mark Dangerfield, who is also all Defendants lead attorney in my District Court case and in this Appeal.
I filed a Motion with the Court asking them to Clarify/Make known that Defendant/Appellee Dangerfield’s dismissal had not been Affirmed (nor considered, as best I could determine).
It appears my Panel missed there being 2 separate Motions to dismiss, by Defendants having separated themselves in 2; which see Judge Snow list in his Oder, and my Panel missed that he granted those 2 Motions separately in his Order of dismissal.
It also appears my Panel missed that these 2 separate Motions/Order of dismissal were argued in a number of Appeal pleadings (both by the Defendants/Appellees, and me).
The implications of my Panel not seeing the separate Motions/Orders/Appeal pleadings will become numbing (i.e., it shows/proves my Panel did not even read Judge Snow’s Order of dismissal, or any Appeal pleadings...they were directed by someone as what to say in Affirming my 10 Appellees...and that this someone missed Dangerfield was a separate Motion/Appeal).
So, in a “Correspondence with the Court,” I asked if the Court realized that the separate dismissal of Appellee Dangerfield had not been Affirmed?
Following my Correspondence with the Court raising the issue of Defendant/ Appellee Dangerfield’s dismissal not having been ruled on, and so was yet outstanding, I filed a Motion for Summary Reversal of his dismissal: Dkt No 86
Defendant/Appellee Dangerfield is not a prosecutor.
This is important as my Panel had Affirmed the dismissal of someone/10 of 11 of my Defendants by declined to indict/prosecutorial discretion (“someone,” as my Panel did not specify whom they were Affirming).
My allegations against Dangerfield were different than those against my 10 other Defendants: I sued him for acts in his past legal representation of defendants in previous actions I had filed, as clearly stated/agreed by Judge Snow in his Order of dismissal.
Dangerfield filed his own Motion to dismiss, separating himself from my 10 other Defendants. He began that separation in their (the 10’s) filed-first Motion to dismiss.
My Panel Affirmed for “Mark Brnovich, Attorney General, Attorney General; et al.” (see this forgery of individual Defendant Mark Brnovich in Dkt No 84) ; Dangerfield was not included, either by name; by his separate Motion for dismissal; or by his having any part in “...the prosecution or non-prosecution of another” (again, Dangerfield is not a prosecutor).
Dangerfield’s dismissal has not been Affirmed by my Panel’s Affirming Judge Snow’s dismissal of the 10, so I filed a Motion for Summary Reversal of his dismissal.
Judge Snow’s dismissal of his longtime associate and fellow active Church member is clearly corrupt, including I never anywhere claimed “declined to indict,” resulting in prosecutorial my Panel Affirming by discretion…I alleged my injuries were by Defendants’ criminal acts, including documented forgeries, and so Judge Snow’s order should be reversed.
As a result of Dangerfield not having been Affirmed, and the obviousness of his dismissal being corrupt, I filed a Motion for Summary Reversal of his dismissal.
As mentioned just above (in Dkt No 85), the implications of my Panel not having ruled on/seen Dangerfield’s separate dismissal are numbing. So, I filed a Correspondence with the Court asking if it understood their delay in undoing that corruption of certain judges was further exposing the corruption: Dkt No 88
In this Correspondence with the Court, I stated to the Court that it must have become obvious with my Motion to Clarify/Make Known my Panel did not rule on Defendant/Appellee Dangerfield’s separate Motion to dismiss/dismissal by Judge Snow (Dkt No 85), and my Motion for Summary Reversal of Dangerfield (Dkt No 86): As my Panel was rushed to Affirm Judge Snow the Friday before Appellees’ response to my Motion for Summary Reversal was due on Monday, in Judges Muguia/Snow’s haste, their coaching of my Panel was incomplete, they thereby documented their corruption.
By this documentation, it is clear my Panel did not read Judge Snow’s Order of dismissal; or any Appeal pleadings, they simply took instructions from Judge Snow to use his/my Defendants’ fraud of “declined to indict,” and they Affirmed (ignoring my Opening Brief Ch 4; seen everywhere else).
How can I claim that my Panel read nothing, including that they ignored my Ch 4, et al?
Because they did not see/act on even the first sentence of Judge Snow’s Order of dismissal:
“Before the Court are State Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 33), Mark Dangerfield’s Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 34); ...” (Bold underline added by me.)
Had my Panel seen this sentence, they would have also known to rule on Dangerfield’s separate Motion to dismiss.
Or, had they read Judge Snow’s CONCLUSION to his Order, they would have known to also rule on his second dismissal:
“IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant Mark Dangerfield’s Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 34) is GRANTED.”
That my Panel did not read Judge Snow’s Order or any Appeal documents is obvious: They did not even know there were 2 dismissals that were moved for; granted; and then argued here, so they did not rule on Dangerfield’s dismissal/Appeal.
How could my Panel rule on whether or not to Affirm, without reading Judge Snow’s Order?
How could my Panel rule on whether or not to Affirm, without reading any Appeal pleadings?
My Reply to Appellees’ Response to my Emergency Motion to Disqualify 4 Specific Circuit Judges from my pending Motion for Reconsideration EN Banc for 10 of 11 Appellees, or Ruling on Separate Appellee Dangerfield’s yet outstanding dismissal. Dkt No 89
With what I knew at that time (prior to realizing my Panel’s Order documented their corruptly Affirming Judge Snow), I filed an Emergency Motion to Disqualify Judges Murguia, Wallace, Lee, and Bumatay based the facts I then knew (see Dkt No 82 above, based on Dkt No’s 68/76/73/81/84 and Red Title 1). Appellees’ response was a litany of how rude of me to allege errant behavior by these honorable Judges and providing a discussion for the standard for Recusal. In my Reply (Dkt No 89). In my Reply, I sought to support my Motion to Disqualify by my now realizing my Panel had documented their corrupt Affirming of Judge Snow (Dkt No’s 85/86/88).
My Motion to add an Addendum to my Motion for Consideration En Banc Dkt No’s 68/76, regarding my having realized my Panel had documented its own corruption in Affirming Judge Snow (per Dkt No’s 85/86/88 above): Dkt No 90
Quite simply, when my Panel first Affirmed Judge Snow, and I was in shock, over how short their Order was, and that they ruled by Defendants/Appellees’ fraud of “declined to indict,” and Judge Snow’s use of it, I did not realize that my Pane’s Order Affirming Judge Snow actually documented the corruptness of their ruling, or that Defendant/Appellee Dangerfield’s dismissal had not yet been ruled on (per Dkt No’s 85/86/88).
Now that I had come to the realization of what my Panel’s Order exposed, none of which I knew when I filed my Motion to Disqualify (Dkt No 82), I filed a Motion to add and Addendum that explained what I had come to realize.
As I have experienced more than once: When the Appellees or the Court are under pressure to recognize my opposing party has lost on an issue (Appellees had a response due today), they simply rule against me...this time, adding, case now closed (noting, Appellee Dangerfield’s dismissal is yet outstanding/has not been Affirmed): Dkt No 91
The Appellees needed to file a response on 2-22-24 to my Motion to Clarify/Make Known Appellee Dangerfield’s dismissal had not been Affirmed (Dkt No 85). And once again (see the Court do this earlier on 12-15-23 at Dkt No 65), the Court helped them out by issuing their Order to Deny to my Motion for Reconsideration on 2-22-24. Their Order was again very brief, with no actual legal reasoning...and they did not confront the reality that Appellee Dangerfield ahd not been Affirmed (Dkt No’s 85/86/88). Neither did the Court confront the forgery of who my lead Defendant/Appellee is (Dkt No 84).
My correspondence with the Court, post the Court denying my Motion for Reconsideration, asking: When will the Court rule on separate and outstanding not-yet-ruled-on Appellee Dangerfield? Dkt No 92
In the Court’s Denying my Motion for Reconsideration, and being just plain sloppy, I suppose in part by their immense and virtually unchecked power, and maybe in rushing to complete something they knew was corrupt, they did not rule on, let alone acknowledge, Appellee Dangerfield’s dismissal had not been Affirmed.
And so I asked them what they were going to do about this...
Appellant’s Correspondence with the Court: The Record documents that there is a yet outstanding, separate dismissal, of remaining Defendant/Appellee Dangerfield that has not been ruled on: Dkt No 93
The Ninth Circuit has become belligerent, made clear by their refusing to acknowledge the documented corrupt actions by my Panel of 3 Republican Judges...who had been handpicked to Affirm Republican Arizona District Court Chief Judge Snow...who had dismissed my Defendants, Arizona Republican Elites, including that my lead Defendant (a well known GOP stalwart) is married to one of Judge Snow’s Judges...so I detailed the documented reality that proves my Panel acted corruptly, and that the Ninth is running a Watergate-like cover-up.
Dangerfield is not a State employee; he is not a prosecutor; his name is not mentioned in my Panel’s Order Affirming Judge Snow’s dismissal of the 10, nor in their Order Denying my Motion for Reconsideration; Judge Snow’s Order of Dismissal for Dangerfield is not mentioned in the Court’s Order Affirming Judge Snow, nor in their Order Denying my Motion for Reconsideration; and, again, Dangerfield’s separate Motion to Dismiss was Granted by Judge Snow for legal reasoning different than his reasoning for the 10 (i.e., prosecutorial discretion for the 10 versus Dangerfield supposedly having no liability for being an outside attorney (Ex 1, pg 3, lns 16-28).
