Attorney, practice without a license:
·        Attorney at law versus Counsellor at law. It is absolutely amazing what has been uncovered.
·        First there were barristers (counsellors-at-law in America) and attorneys-at-law. In some of the states initially they were kept separate, but then they started
using attorneys and counsellors-at-law together in one person and he would adjust to the particular issue. They were admitted [licensed] to practice in the courts by
the judges or justices of that particular court, with the judges being public officers in that time frame.
·        Attorney at law:
·        1. Represents only – stands in your place or stead in business or legal issues.
·        2. No attorneys allowed in a criminal trial, except to make bail.
·        3. Has Attorney fees – costs money and can use Attorney Lien.
·        4. Officer of the court
·        5. Can not challenge the court without exposure to sanctions such as judge being a public officer, etc.
·        6. Takes over the case and you are at his mercy on how the case is run.
·        7. He will raise no issue that he deems the judge will be unhappy with usually.
·        8. Co-counsel is the scam they attempt to use to validate the lack of Assistance of Counsel. You can not counsel your self.
·
·        Counsellor at law:
·        1. Assists only and is to protect and defend his client, can not represent.
·        2. Counsellors at law are used in criminal trials – access to is an absolute part of a Trial by Jury from the first part of arraignment on.
·        a. Can ask questions on your behalf,
·        b. Can instruct you what questions to ask
·        c. If the client instructs the Counsellor at law to challenge the judge or court, he can do it without being sanctioned (done correctly of course)
·        4. Officer of the court.
·        5. Does not charge, works on gratuity. Can not sue for Attorney fees.
·        6. Is learned in the law.
·        7. It is a position of Honor to be a Counsellor at Law.
·        8. It is a level above an Attorney at law.
There is a big difference between a Private Attorney and a PUBLIC ATTORNEY. A Private Attorney operates by and through an assigned Power-of-Attorney
instrument for a specific or general function. A Private Attorney is also known as an Attorney-in-Fact. The PUBLIC ATTORNEY is an officer of the court in question
and represents the trust created by Statute or the Statutorily Constructed Scheme through the fascist  (i.e. private business controlled) government that has put up
a bonding system for each crime be they malum in se or regulatory infraction. The PUBLIC ATTORNEY represents the PUBLIC VESSEL created by and through the
Social Security grantor trust agreement commonly known by the U.S. Treasury as the PUBLIC VESSEL Â Â (PV). The PV operates through Equity and within Special
Maritime/Admiralty jurisdiction (law form) and therefore affects the man in his capacity as the Authorized Representative. Only members of the State BAR
Associations are authorized to represent the PV as the USAG is the Trustee for the PV. This is why members of Rice and Associates cannot represent the PUBLIC
VESSEL. This is why members of Rice and Associates can represent and assist the man in capacity as the Authorized Representative (AR) for the PUBLIC VESSEL.
However, the secular courts and the PUBLIC AGENCIES that regulate the PUBLIC VESSELS do not usually separate the PV from the AR. So how far can a non-Bar
member go in representation?
The case of New York vs. Sawyer, (NY) 47 barb. 116 (1866), illustrates how far that Private relationship may go. ?It is quite clear that it is the spirit and intent of
the constitution, of the statutes, and the practice of the courts, that no person shall practice as an attorney or counsellor in actions in the courts but such as have
been found qualified, upon examination by the Supreme Court. The application for that purpose must be based upon citizenship, the age of twenty-one years, and
good moral character. These qualifications, followed by an order of the court for admission, after the court become satisfied of the possession of sufficient learning
and ability, and the signing of the roll, and subscribing and taking the constitutional oath, constitute the right, and authorize the practice, by attorneys and
counsellors in all the courts of record of this state. . . .But this case need not even be put upon that ground. If this case was in a court of record, the signing this
notice in the manner as explained by the affidavits, I think, would have been without objection, and would be no violation of the letter or spirit of the constitution,
the statute, or the rules of practice. A person may be an attorney in fact, for another, without being an attorney at law; a distinction well understood as existing in
all kinds of business transactions. They are sometimes distinguished by attorneys in fact, or private attorneys, and attorneys at law, or public attorneys. The former
is one who is authorized by his principle, either for some particular purpose, or to do a particular act, not of a legal character. The latter is employed to appear for
the parties to actions, or other judicial proceedings, and are officers of the courts.?
This case (New York vs. Sawyer) is about a party that signed pleadings on behalf of a defendant. How close to the line can a private Attorney go? A pleading ?
signed as ?M.S., Defendant, W.J.S., His Attorney,? is valid, though W.J.S. is not an attorney at law.?

Unless upon good cause shown the court in its discretion has ruled otherwise, the prosecuting attorney shall be present at all arraignments in all cases, all bond
settings in felony cases, and all first hearings in juvenile cases. No trial of any such case will be conducted without the prosecuting entity being represented by a

Bail; personal recognizance; conditions.
Any bailable defendant shall be ordered released from custody pending judgment on his or her personal recognizance unless the judge determines in the exercise
of his or her discretion that such a release will not reasonably assure the appearance of the defendant as required. When such determination is made, the judge
shall either in lieu of or in addition to such a release impose the first of the following conditions of release which will reasonably assure the appearance of the
person for trial or, if no single condition gives that assurance, any combination of the following conditions:
(1) Place the defendant in the custody of a designated person or organization agreeing to supervise the defendant;
(2) Place restrictions on the travel, association, or place of abode of the defendant during the period of such release;
(3) Require, at the option of any bailable defendant, either of the following:
(a) The execution of an appearance bond in a specified amount and the deposit with the clerk of the court in cash of a sum not to exceed ten percent of the amount
of the bond, ninety percent of such deposit to be returned to the defendant upon the performance of the appearance or appearances and ten percent to be retained
by the clerk as appearance bond costs, except that when no charge is subsequently filed against the defendant or if the charge or charges which are filed are
dropped before the appearance of the defendant which the bond was to assure, the entire deposit shall be returned to the defendant. If the bond is subsequently
reduced by the court after the original bond has been posted, no additional appearance bond costs shall be retained by the clerk. The difference in the appearance
bond costs between the original bond and the reduced bond shall be returned to the defendant. In no event shall the deposit be less than twenty-five dollars.
Whenever jurisdiction is transferred from a court requiring an appearance bond under this subdivision to another state court, the transferring court shall transfer
the ninety percent of the deposit remaining after the appearance bond costs have been retained. No further costs shall be levied or collected by the court acquiring
jurisdiction; or
(b) The execution of a bail bond with such surety or sureties as shall seem proper to the judge or, in lieu of such surety or sureties, at the option of such person, a
cash deposit of such sum so fixed, conditioned for his or her appearance before the proper court, to answer the offense with which he or she may be charged and
to appear at such times thereafter as may be ordered by the proper court. The cash deposit shall be returned to the defendant upon the performance of all
appearances.
If the amount of bail is deemed insufficient by the court before which the offense is pending, the court may order an increase of such bail and the defendant shall
provide the additional undertaking, written or cash, to secure his or her release. All recognizances in criminal cases shall be in writing and be continuous from term
to term until final judgment of the court in such cases and shall also extend, when the court has suspended execution of sentence for a limited time, as provided in
section 29-2202, or, when the court has suspended execution of sentence to enable the defendant to apply for a writ of error to the Supreme Court or Court of
Appeals, as provided in section 29-2301, until the period of suspension has expired. When two or more indictments or informations are returned against the same
person at the same term of court, the recognizance given may be made to include all offenses charged therein. Each surety on such recognizance shall be required
to justify under oath in a sum twice the amount of such recognizance and give the description of real estate owned by him or her of a value above encumbrance
equal to the amount of such justification and shall name all other cases pending in which he or she is a surety. No one shall be accepted as surety on recognizance
aggregating a sum in excess of his or her equity in the real estate, but such recognizance shall not constitute a lien on the real estate described therein until
judgment is entered thereon against such surety; or
(4) Impose any other condition deemed reasonably necessary to assure appearances as required, including a condition requiring that the defendant return to
custody after specified hours. END

CODE, City Ordinances, Municipal
NOTICE
ENFORCEMENT OF CITY/COUNTY CODES PROHIBITED
California Law prohibits Cities and Counties from
enforcing City or County Codes and Ordinances upon
property that is not OWNED by the City or County –
even if the property is within City limits.
California Penal Code: Chapter 5b CITATIONS FOR
VIOLATIONS OF COUNTY, CITY, OR CITY AND COUNTY
ORDINANCES – Sections 853.1through 853.4 was repealed
in 1967.
The Supreme Court ruled that Municipalities cannot exert any acts of ownership and control over property that is not OWNED by them, see Palazzolo v. Rhode
Island 533 US 606, 150 L.Ed. 2d 592, 121 S.Ct. ___ (2001) (no expiration date on the taking clause for City’s illegal enforcement of its Codes on the man’s
private property and restricting the man’s business), affirming both Lucas v South Carolina Coastal Council, 505 US 1003, 120 L.Ed. 2d 798 (1992). (butterfly
activists and Code Enforcement cannot restrict development of the man’s private swampland unless they lawfully acquire the land FIRST, surveying with
binoculars constitutes a “takings”), and Monterey v. Del Monte Dunes, 526 US 687 (1999), 143 L.Ed. 2d 882 S.Ct.____ (1998). Â (I could not find the above case it
may be fiction.)
In the Monterey case, the California private property
owner was awarded $8 million for Code Enforcement’ s
illegal trespass and restriction of his business, and
another $1.45 million for the aggravation of a forced
sale.
Federal Law also prohibits Cities and Counties from
issuing citations against businesses, see Title 18
U.S.C. § § 891-896, quoting Section 891 … “An
extortionate means is any means which involves the
use, or an express or implicit threat of use, of
violence or other criminal means to cause harm to the
person, reputation, or property.”
Black’s Law Dictionary 5 th Edition (page 1140):
Recaption. At Common Law, a retaking or taking back. A
species of remedy by the mere act of the party injured
(otherwise termed “reprisal”), which happens when
anyone has deprived another of his property in goods
or chattels personal, or wrongfully detains one’s
wife, child, or servant. In this case, the owner of
the goods, and the husband, parent, or master may
lawfully claim and retake them, wherever he happens to
find them, so it be not in a riotous manner, or

Richard James, McDonald is a state Citizen of California. Â Â Mr. McDonald is a former law enforcement officer who stumbled across this information quite by accident
but felt compelled to investigate the issues related to law enforcement and status.  Based on results of  Mr. McDonald’s research, he took the extraordinary step of
renouncing his “US citizenship”, (the reasons why should become clear to the reader as they review the information posted here), by reclaiming his “birth rights”
and original political status, which by the way, is exactly the same as the Founding Fathers who were state Citizens, not “US citizens”.
Unbeknownst to most people, the class termed “US citizen” did not exist as a political status until 1866. Â Â It was a class and “political status” created for the newly
freed slaves and did not apply to the people inhabiting the states of the union who were at that time state Citizens.
“On the other hand, there is a significant historical fact in all of this. Â Clearly, one of the purposes of the 13th and 14th Amendments and of the 1866 act and of

“The object of the 14th Amendment, as is well known, was to confer upon the colored race the right of citizenship.”
United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U. S. 649, 692.
Mr. McDonald is not a racist or bigot but merely wishes that the reader understands that the class of people identified as “US citizens” were the NEWLY FREED
SLAVES ONLY as was the intent of the drafters of the so-called 14th Amendment. Â Â After their being recognized as people rather than “animate property”, they
needed to be brought within the “naturalization process” and afforded some rights. Â As anyone well knows, property has no rights. Â Â Mr. McDonald has been
educating people about these issues for over 25 years.
“We have in our political system a government of the United States and a government of each of the several States.  Each one of these governments is distinct

“A citizen of the United States is a citizen of the federal government …”
Kitchens v. Steele, 112 F.Supp 383
The Importance Of state Citizenship
Why is this important? Â Â Because the visitor should know that the rules that apply to “US citizens” may be different that the rules that apply to “state Citizens”, and
that the rights of one are not the same as the other. Â Â For example, the “state Citizen” is NOT required to have a driver license to legally use their car to go to the
store to buy food or to attend their place of worship, the “US citizen” is required to have a license to do the same thing.
“The governments of the United States and of each state of the several states are distinct from one another.  The rights of a citizen under one may be quite
different from those which he has under the otherâ€.
Colgate v. Harvey, 296 U.S. 404; 56 S.Ct. 252 (1935)
“There is a difference between privileges and immunities belonging to the citizens of the United States as such, and those belonging to the citizens of each state as
suchâ€.

“The rights and privileges, and immunities which the fourteenth constitutional amendment and Rev. St. section 1979 [U.S. Comp. St. 1901, p. 1262], for its

Although not directly involved in interstate commerce, allow us to digress for a moment and discuss the word “business”. In ordinary speech this word simply
means the conduct of the affairs in what we commonly call “work”. However, in law, the word “business” almost always means a corporation, or the actions of a
corporation. This is a pivotal point for one to understand when reading law. It is absolutely essential to understanding laws that are directed at corporations. In
other words, in law, the words “corporation” and “business” are generally used as synonyms.

(Personal Jurisdiction) This claim of Sovereign Immunity is further enhanced by the fact that the statute did not and does not intend to abolish any of the
sovereign Rights retained by the Citizens of California. Â Statutes which in general terms divest pre-existing rights or privileges will not be applied to the Sovereign
without express words to that effect. Â U.S. v. United Mine Workers of America, (1947) 67 S. Ct. 677, 686, 330 U.S. 258. Â But, in fact and in law, such statutes are
intended to be applied to those who are here as “residents” in this State under the Interstate Commerce Clause of the Federal Constitution and the so-called 14th
Amendment.
English common law is the law in Florida and that law gives the
landlord the right to rent or lease his property under whatever conditions
he wants. Â Civil rights are something the government grants those who claim
to be citizens or who can prove residency on federal territory. Â The
particular language involved makes no difference. Â Under the English common
law, a tenant gains no rights of the property of another by renting it.
To stop even a mega-lawyer all a person has to do is show the State of
Florida’s administrative courts limited jurisdiction. Â Since this is written
law, that limitation to jurisdiction will appear in the capacity of the
defendant. Â To defend all the landlord has to do is deny being a U.S.
citizen or U.S. resident or a resident of the county. Â (An entity (or contract) subject to an administrative court.)

Where There is Absence of Jurisdiction Judicial Proceedings Are A Nullity
If a federal court takes action in a dispute over which it lacks subject matter jurisdiction, that action is a nullity. See Am. Fire & Cas. Co. v. Finn, 341 U.S. 6, 17-18
(1951); Hart v. Terminex Int’l, 336 F.3d 541, 541-42 (7th Cir. 2003) (stating that it was “regrettable” that the case had to be dismissed for lack of subject matter
jurisdiction “rendering everything that has occurred in [the] eight years [of litigation] a nullity”).
“Without jurisdiction the court cannot proceed at all in any cause. Jurisdiction is power to declare the law, and when it ceases to exist, the only function remaining to
the court is that of announcing the fact and dismissing the cause.” Ex parte McCardle, 7 Wall. 506, 514 (1869). Â In Steel Co. v. Citizens for Better Environment, 523

[16] We find this reasoning persuasive and therefore hold that a facial challenge to a presumptively valid criminal statute does not raise an issue of subject matter
jurisdiction in a criminal prosecution and thus may be waived if not timely asserted. Nebraska law is consistent with federal law in that criminal statutes are
presumed constitutional. State v. Hynek, 263 Neb. 310, 640 N.W.2d 1 (2002); State v. Bjorklund, 258 Neb. 432, 604 N.W.2d 169 (2000).

the issue of subject matter jurisdiction may be raised sua sponte by an appellate court. Scherbak v. Kissler, 245 Neb. 10, 510 N.W.2d 318 (1994);
In re Interest of Kelly D., 3 Neb. App. 251, 526 N.W.2d 439 (1994). When a lower court lacks power, that is, subject matter jurisdiction, to adjudicate merits of a
claim, issue, or question, an appellate court also lacks power to determine the merits of the claim, issue, or question presented to the lower court.
In re Interest of J.T.B. and H.J.T., 245 Neb. 624, 514 N.W.2d 635 (1994); Knerr v. Swigerd, 243 Neb. 591, 500 N.W.2d 839 (1993); In re Interest of L.D. et al., 224

cannot vest an appellate court with jurisdiction to review or evaluate an evidentiary determination involved in such act, an appellate court has jurisdiction and,
moreover, the duty to determine whether the lower court had the power to enter the judgment or final order sought to be reviewed. In re Interest of J.T.B. and H.J.

SMJ Can Not Be Waived [U] Quality Pork International v. Rupari Food Services, Inc., No. A-01-1203 (Neb.App. 05/13/2003)
While the lack of subject matter jurisdiction cannot be waived nor the existence of subject matter jurisdiction conferred by the consent or conduct of the parties,
lack of personal jurisdiction may be waived and such jurisdiction conferred by the conduct of the parties. Id. When a jurisdictional question does not involve a
factual dispute, the determination of a jurisdictional issue is a matter of law which requires an appellate court to reach a conclusion independent from the trial
court’s decision; however, when a determination rests on factual findings, a trial court’s decision on an issue will be upheld unless the factual findings concerning
jurisdiction are clearly incorrect. Higgins v. Rausch Herefords, 9 Neb. App. 212, 609 N.W.2d 712 (2000).
Subject matter jurisdiction is a question of law for the court. A jurisdictional question which does not involve a factual dispute is determined by an appellate court as
a matter of law, which requires the appellate court to reach a conclusion independent of the lower court’s decision. Hoschor v. Hoschor, 254 Neb. 743, 580 N.W.2d

When a lower court lacks the authority to exercise its subject matter jurisdiction to adjudicate the merits of a claim, issue, or question, an appellate court also lacks
the power to determine the merits of the claim, issue, or question presented to the lower court. Wasikowski v. Nebraska Quality Jobs Bd., 264 Neb. 403, 648 N.W.
2d 756 (2002). Parties cannot confer subject matter jurisdiction upon a judicial tribunal by either acquiescence or consent, nor may subject matter jurisdiction be
created by waiver, estoppel, consent, or conduct of the parties. Creighton St. Joseph Hosp. v. Tax Eq. & Rev. Comm., 260 Neb. 905, 620 N.W.2d 90 (2000).
A judgment entered by a court which lacks subject matter jurisdiction is void. It is the longstanding rule in Nebraska that such a void judgment may be raised at
any time in any proceeding. Bradley v. Hopkins, 246 Neb. 646, 522 N.W.2d 394 (1994); VonSeggern v. Willman, 244 Neb. 565, 508 N.W.2d 261 (1993).

Eliments of Jurisdiction as in STANDING:
Standing is legally defined as “The position of a person in reference to his capacity to act in a particular instance – 19 Am J2d Corp § 559.” Ballentine’s Law
Dictionary, page 1209.
“In essence the question of standing is whether the litigant is entitled to have the court decide the merits of the dispute or of particular issues.” Warth v. Seldin, 422
U.S. 490, 498 (1975).
If a plaintiff lacks standing, then courts, all courts, are legally/constitutionally incapable of proceeding because: “courts only adjudicate justiciable controversies.”
United States v. Interstate Commerce Commission, 337 US 426, 430.
“The requirement of standing, however, has a core component derived directly from the Constitution. A plaintiff must allege personal injury fairly traceable to the
defendant’s allegedly unlawful conduct and likely to be redressed by the requested relief.” Allen v. Wright, 468 U.S. 737, 751 (1984) (emphasis mine).
This (standing) of course references Article III § 2 of the “United States” “constitution” which requires a plaintiff to present a case before a court may proceed: “The
judicial power shall extend to all cases”:
“The case-or-controversy doctrines state fundamental limits on federal judicial power in our system of government. The Art. III doctrine that requires a litigant to
have “standing” to invoke the power of a federal court is perhaps the most important of these doctrines.” Allen page 750.
More explicit, standing requires the violation of a legally (government) recognized right. The Declaration of Independence proves this: “That to secure these Rights,
Governments are instituted among Men” — Â And from the Arizona “constitution”: “governments” are established to protect and maintain individual rights.” Article II
§ 2 (emphasis mine).
The “Supreme Court” has held consistent with this principal of standing: “the duty of this court, as of every judicial tribunal, is limited to determining rights of
persons or of property, which are actually controverted.†Tyler v. Judges of the Court of Registration, 179 US 405
Standing consists of two absolutely essential elements:
1) Â Â Â Â Â Â Â violation of a legal right, and
2) Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 2) personal injury.
First, the allegations are not in the indictment and that’s fatal. Second, it’s not “legally” sufficient to just make allegations, those allegations must be based on facts;
those facts must establish where, when, why and how the legal right was allegedly acquired. And if facts are alleged (evidence), then they must be based on the
testimony of witnesses with personal knowledge, Rule 602 Federal Rules of Evidence.
“we have explained that prudential standing encompasses the general prohibition on a litigant’s raising another person’s legal rights…” Â Elk Grove Unified School
District et al. v. Newdow et al., 542 U.S. 1 (2004).
“As a general principal, standing to invoke the judicial process requires an actual justiciable controversy as to which the complainant has a real interest in the
ultimate adjudication because he or she has either suffered or is about to suffer an injury.” Â People v. Superior Court, 126 Cal.Rptr.2d 793.

SMJ and Court May Not Proceed
A court may not proceed at all in a case unless it has jurisdiction. Crawford v. F. Hoffman-LaRoche Ltd., 267 F.3d 760, 764 (8th Cir. 2001).
[49] Â Â Â Â This court has not previously discussed the standard of review for a motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction filed under rule 12(b)(2). Because the
new civil rules for notice pleading are modeled after the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, we look to the federal decisions for guidance. Kellogg v. Nebraska Dept.
of Corr. Servs., ante p. 40, 690 N.W.2d 574 (2005).
jurisdiction of the U.S. federal government is defined by
Article I, Section 8, Clause 17 of the U.S. Â Constitution, quoted
as follows:
“The Congress shall have the Power . . . To exercise exclusive
Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (NOT
EXCEEDING TEN  MILES SQUARE) as may, by Cession  of particular
States and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of
Government of the United States [District of Columbia] and to
exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent
of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for
the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other
needful Buildings; Â And-To make all Laws which shall be necessary
and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing  Powers, . .
.” Â [Ephasis added]
And Article IV, Section 3, Clause 2:
“The Congress shall have the Power to dispose of and make all
needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other
Property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this
Constitution shall be so construed as to Prejudice any Claims of
the United States, or of any particular State.”

natural liberty v. civil liberty
personal liberty v. civil liberty
” Personal liberty, or the Right to enjoyment of life and liberty, is one of the
fundamental or natural Rights, which has been protected by its inclusion as a
guarantee in the various constitutions, which is not derived from, or dependent
on, the U.S. Constitution, which may not be submitted to a vote and may not
depend on the outcome of an election. It is one of the most sacred and valuable
Rights, as sacred as the Right to private property…and is regarded as
inalienable.” 16 C.J.S., Constitutional Law, Sect.202, p.987.
” Personal liberty largely consists of the Right of locomotion to go where and
when one pleases only so far restrained as the Rights of others may make it
necessary for the welfare of all other citizens. The Right of the Citizen to
travel upon the public highways and to transport his property thereon, by
horsedrawn carriage, wagon, or automobile, is not a mere privilege which may be
permitted or prohibited at will, but the common Right which he has under his
Right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Under this Constitutional
guarantee one may, therefore, under normal conditions, travel at his inclination
along the public highways or in public places, and while conducting himself in
an orderly and decent manner, neither interfering with nor disturbing another’s
Rights, he will be protected, not only in his person, but in his safe conduct.”

(medicine etc.) is an occupation of common right as per Sims v. Ahrens, 271 S.W. 720 (1925). No State in the Union of the United States of America licenses
lawyers, only the State Bar, which issues a private corporation type of “Union Card”/certificate for payment of dues/fees. (See also ExParte v. Garland, 4 Wall 333,
370 (1866), which authorizes only the practice of law in the courts as an officer of the court and a member of the judicial branch of government, to represent wards
of the court such as infants and persons of unsound mind and as a public defender in criminal cases.) …Cannot license an occupation of common right …Redfield v.
Fisher, 292 P. 813, 817-819
“Occupations of common right ARE not taxable. The practice of medicine and law are occupations of common right. An income tax is neither a property tax, nor a
tax on occupations of common right, but is an excise tax. …”Gross income tax unconstitutional.” (See also Schware v. Board of Examiners, 353 US 238, 239. …

Pro Se Laws
HAINES v. KERNER, ET AL. 404 U.S. 519, 92 S. Ct. 594, 30 L. Ed. 2d 652. Whatever may be the limits on the scope of inquiry of courts into the internal
administration of prisons, allegations such as those asserted by petitioner, however inartfully pleaded, are sufficient to call for the opportunity to offer supporting
evidence. We cannot say with assurance that under the allegations of the pro se complaint, which we hold to less stringent standards than formal pleadings drafted
by lawyers, it appears “beyond doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his claim which would entitle him to relief.” Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S.
41, 45-46 (1957). See Dioguardi v. Durning, 139 F.2d 774 (CA2 1944).
ESTELLE, CORRECTIONS DIRECTOR, ET AL. v. GAMBLE 29 U.S. 97, 97 S. Ct. 285, 50 L. Ed. 2d 251. We now consider whether respondent’s complaint states a
cognizable 1983 claim. The handwritten pro se document is to be liberally construed. As the Court unanimously held in Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519 (1972), a pro
se complaint, “however inartfully pleaded,” must be held to “less stringent standards than formal pleadings drafted by lawyers” and can only be dismissed for
failure to state a claim if it appears “beyond doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his claim which would entitle him to relief.” Id., at 520-
521, quoting Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41, 45-46 (1957).
WILLIAM MCNEIL, PETITIONER v. UNITED STATES 113 S. Ct. 1980, 124 L. Ed. 2d 21, 61 U.S.L.W. 4468. Moreover, given the clarity of the statutory text, it is
certainly not a “trap for the unwary.” It is no doubt true that there are cases in which a litigant proceeding without counsel may make a fatal procedural error, but
the risk that a lawyer will be unable to understand the exhaustion requirement is virtually nonexistent. Our rules of procedure are based on the assumption that
litigation is normally conducted by lawyers. While we have insisted that the pleadings prepared by prisoners who do not have access to counsel be liberally
construed, see Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519 (1972); Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97, 106 (1976), and have held that some procedural rules must give way
because of the unique circumstance of incarceration, see Houston v. Lack, 487 U.S. 266 (1988) (pro se prisoner’s notice of appeal deemed filed at time of delivery
to prison authorities), we have never suggested that procedural rules in ordinary civil litigation should be interpreted so as to excuse mistakes by those who
proceed without counsel. As we have noted before, “in the long run, experience teaches that strict adherence to the procedural requirements specified by the
legislature is the best guarantee of evenhanded administration of the law.” Mohasco Corp. v. Silver, 447 U.S. 807, 826 (1980).

construed as to do substantial justice.” We frequently have stated that pro se pleadings are to be given a liberal construction.
HUGHES v. ROWE ET AL. 449 U.S. 5, 101 S. Ct. 173, 66 L. Ed. 2d163, 49 U.S.L.W. 3346. Petitioner’s complaint, like most prisoner complaints filed in the Northern
District of Illinois, was not prepared by counsel. It is settled law that the allegations of such a complaint, “however inartfully pleaded” are held “to less stringent
standards than formal pleadings drafted by lawyers, see Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519, 520 (1972). See also Maclin v. Paulson, 627 F.2d 83, 86 (CA7 1980);
French v. Heyne, 547 F.2d 994, 996 (CA7 1976). Such a complaint should not be dismissed for failure to state a claim unless it appears beyond doubt that the
plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his claim which would entitle him to relief. Haines, supra, at 520-521. And, of course, the allegations of the complaint
are generally taken as true for purposes of a motion to dismiss. Cruz v. Beto, 405 U.S. 319, 322 (1972).

considered natural rights (Bill of Rights, art. 2) yet they are not of the class
of natural rights which are held to be inalienable, like the rights of
conscience (Bill of Rights, art. 4)”

Jim Schwiesow is a retired sheriff with 46 years of law enforcement service, including 28 years as
the duly elected sheriff of Sioux County, Iowa. Sheriff Schwiesow explains that
the sheriff is unique in the law endorsement arena in that he is the last and
only law enforcement administrator that is elected to his office by the people.
The administrative heads of all other law endorsement entities are appointed to
their positions by mayors, city councils, politicians or other managerial
boards. The people have no voice in the selection of these law enforcers, and no
recourse if they do not agree with their policies.
The sheriff is the only law enforcement official with the authority to summon
the power of the county. The sheriff has the right, granted by Posse Comitatus,
to assemble a militia or posse, and the power to deputize citizens and require
them to assist in the keeping of the peace and the enforcement of laws.
“The sheriff represents the power of the people; he does not represent the power
of the state.” When it comes to keeping the peace no one’s authority exceeds
that of the sheriff. The sheriff of that county not only had the authority; he
had the absolute obligation to intercede to protect the constitutional rights of
the owner.

SOVEREIGN – A person, body or state in which independent and supreme authority
is vested…
Black’s Law Dictionary Dictionary, Sixth Edition, p. 1395.
The Executive Branch’s agency, the Internal Revenue Service, has also recognized this by stating in their publications that “nonresident aliens [state Citizens] must
take their case to the Court of Claims, as they do not have standing in the federal district court or the tax court.” Â This premise is based upon the fact that the
immunity rests upon the ground that no enforceable right exists “against the authority that makes the law on which the right depends.” Kawananakoa v. Polybank,
205 U.S. 349, 353, and it is undisputable that the Citizens of the several States united granted limited powers to the federal government, because the People are
vested with complete sovereignty.
>>”To the Constitution of the United States the term SOVEREIGN is totally unknown. Â There is but one place where it could have been used with propriety. Â But,
even in that place it would not, perhaps, have comported with the delicacy of those who ordained and established that Constitution. Â They might have announced
themselves “SOVEREIGN” people of the United States. Â But serenely conscious of the fact, they avoided the ostentatious declaration.” Â Â Chisholm v. Georgia, 2
Dallas 440, 455
SOVEREIGNTY – …By “Sovereignty”, in its largest sense is meant supreme,
absolute, uncontrollable power, the absolute right to govern. Black’s Law
Dictionary Dictionary, Sixth Edition, p. 1396. A sovereign man who is within his inherent rights regarding his domain and his
right of travel is not violating the person or property of another, committing a
tort, a trespass, or otherwise required to obtain prior permission from
competent authority.

Government of the United States [District of Columbia] and to

The standing 1945 Supreme Court definition of the term United States:
The term “United States” may be used in any one of several senses. (1) It may be
merely the name of a sovereign occupying the position analogous to that of other
sovereigns in the family of nations. (2) It may designate the territory over
which the sovereignty of the United States extends, or (3) it may be the
collective name of the states which are united by and under the Constitution.

TITLE 18 – CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE, PART I – CRIMES, Â Â Â CHAPTER 1 – GENERAL PROVISIONS, Section 9. Vessel of the United States defined, ”vessel
of the United States”, as used in this title, means a vessel belonging in whole or in part to the United States, or any citizen thereof, or any corporation created by or
under the laws of the United States, or of any State, Territory, District, or possession thereof.
The general misconception is that any statute passed by legislators bearing the appearance of law constitutes the law of the land. The U. S. Constitution is the
supreme law of the land, and any statute, to be valid, must be in agreement. It is impossible for a law, which violates the Constitution to be valid. This is succinctly
stated as follows: “All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution arc null and void.” Marbury vs. Madison, 5 US (2 Cranch) 137, 174, 176, (1803)
“An unconstitutional act is not law; it confers no rights; it imposes no duties; affords no protection; it creates no office; it is in legal contemplation, as inoperative as
though it had never been passed.” Norton vs. Shelby County 118 US 425 p. 442.
