alaska policy forum v apoc breif in support of neither party

summay of arg

plaintiffs are correct on two of their arguments, that   the standard is unworkable, and that the disclaimer aspect require strict scrutiny,

the case may not be a suitable vehicle. the subject matter could be addressed in several other cases which are likely to be pending, az 9th cir case, and meta v washington state. the case could be held pending the resolution of those cases. 

the curt could summarily reverse, for recondideration in light of salazar and first choice. 

it could grant anf schedule full argument, perhaps in tandem with the az case, consolidated or not.

10 legacy of unethical conduct guttwein 

guttwein: three issues: majors v abell, he represented the governor / personal capacity claims. he told judge mckinney that he would prepare the paperwork to certify the question to the state supreme court. at a hearing, the parties had agreed to certify the state constitutional questions to the state supreme court. if he deliberately withheld this paperwork as a strategic ploy to delay and derail the case, it worked. i have no specific proof of intent. there is only circumstantial evidence. scott chin could verify that there had been such an agreement. 

after the failure to certify the question as agreed, the case languished for over a year before the count granted a motion to dismiss as moo. this motion was erroneous and was reversed by the 7th circuit. 

the 7th circuit certified a different question, one of stauttory interpretation. In that role, the court refused to address the  state constitutional questions, and may have  had misplaced the record and had not read the complaint, which was mostly grounded int he state claims. 14 of 16 state courts that have  ruled on the merits of the questions in majots have followed talley. 

11 lack of notic eot dusty sherry jay and michelle and dennison jordan. 12 lack of juridiction due to failure to exhaust adminstrative remedies, where i had filed a nonwaiver of admoinstrative hearing, and assert that filing that onc eis enough, it remains effective. 

13 previously, counterlcaims were filed but mysteriously disappeared after the case was marked closed. deprivation of due porcess right ot appeal.

14 tiny iossue of cours eof dealings, how they stole my 5 volvos stole my talbot st house, arson at temple, re insruance, oh and i was tortured inthe jail, and they failed to take a report for attempted murder then he killed 2 people also h h treate dme for major depre4ssion, a life threatening illness. no ada claim was asserted or rlupia claim so thes enot be adjudicated. there were 5  more i forge toffhand. 

 

oh the 2 federal felonies at th emailbox,

 the refusal to use email or anythign better thn, mypoint was she could have done a better job of notice and comminication. 

the civil cover sheet hack. double standard, with regulatory capture. same judge later failed to recuse. oh and th ejudge is unconsntitutionally appoinbted instea dof elected. so that a good start but there are more. duty of civility on both sides.

In re John Wilbur Schmidt, Jr., deceased, and J W Schmidt iii, 

your former client, possibly current client? 424 S Post Rd. 

Notice to refrain from spoliation.

John M believes there is a will on the property appointing him as executor.  He is currently being denied access to the property to look for it. He does not have a copy. No will has been filed with the  probate office. If you are aware of a will,  please let me know.

This is to instruct your client or former client not to destroy relevant records, such as a will or other instructions as to his father's estate. 

Mycase lists Joseph Shikany as a former guardian ad litem. He might have germane records, or be able to testify as to deceased intent, or not; he withdrew in 2017 and may not have current information.

I hope this can all  be resolved amicably. 

Cordially John M

thanks you for your recent 34 letters, however, it does not appear that you have ever bothered to ask what this situateion is about. did you ask jason or ronnie or the woman who works with them at the 201 n illinois branch? But I have had very little cooperation ...

on januaryt 9th 2025 i was assaulted and robbed by Dennis D. Washington Jr. He is now in prison. I was happy    that he was dumb enough to use my 5th 3rd card to run up about $1000 in charges, because that left a paper trail, so it could have been easy to convict him of these thefts.    But I have had very little cooperation, either from you or the bank or the police or the prosecutor. One of the bankers I spoke to at another branch suggested getting you folks involved, so I havc, but so far all you've done is hassled me and never asked the right questions. Do better please. 

2.     Lil Bit Schmidt  letter

To probation officer:

Thank you for your letter. Ms. Schmidt had not honored the no contact order which I did not even know about. She has been here 6 or 7 times. Let me remind you that she stole my phone, so I'm not able to call you about this. Like many american males, I am functionally illiterate so it has taken me some time to get back to you. I can best be reached at gtbear@gmail.com.

4.    re duryea dem complaint 

DATE: September 17, 2026

SUBJECT: Formal Report of Alleged Criminal Conspiracy by Jay Jacobs, the New York State Democratic Committee, and the Nassau County Democratic Committee to Engage in Discriminatory Censorship and Subversion of Constitutional Rights

Dear District Attorney Donnelly,

I am writing to formally report what I believe to be a coordinated attempt and criminal conspiracy by Jay Jacobs, acting both individually and through clear doctrine of agency on behalf of his principals, the New York State Democratic Committee and the Nassau County Democratic Committee. This coordinated effort, executed in concert with elements of the New York State Board of Elections (BOE), seeks to weaponize state administrative mechanisms to censor and suppress protected political speech and violate fundamental rights of political association. Because Mr. Jacobs acts with apparent and actual authority as Chairman, both committee organizations are directly implicated in these violations.

As the plaintiff in Stewart v. Taylor, I am deeply familiar with the constitutional boundaries governing elections. This coordinated effort constitutes selective censorship designed to infringe upon clearly established protections under both the federal and state constitutions, subverting the following landmark jurisprudence:

1. The New York Protection of Anonymous Speech (People v. Duryea): Under the New York State Constitution, People v. Duryea explicitly struck down state campaign disclaimer requirements, ruling that the state cannot criminalize or restrict political literature simply because it lacks an official disclosure label, confirming such mandates violate free speech.

2. Freedom of Association: The targeting of specific political messages violates the core tenets established in NAACP v. Alabama and Bates v. Little Rock, which protect individuals and organizations from state-sponsored harassment and selective enforcement designed to chill association.

In NAACP, Bates, and Talley, the Supreme Court found First Amendment violations when censorship targeted unpopular minorities. While the state no longer targets Negroes, today's disfavored speakers are AI users, gun owners, Republicans, and satirists. Furthermore, political satire is explicitly protected speech under Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc.

3. Protection of Dissenting Speech: This effort violates Talley v. California, which safeguards political literature from overreaching state demands meant to suppress a speaker's message, as well as the prohibitions against compelled or restricted speech outlined in NIFLA v. Becerra, Janus v. AFSCME, and 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis.

When political actors and their organizational committees conspire with administrative state bodies to bypass these constitutional boundaries to handicap opponents, it enters the realm of an unlawful conspiracy to abuse public systems and violate civil liberties. Given your jurisdiction over Mr. Jacobs and his committees' operations in Nassau County, I urge your office to review these actions for potential violations of state law regarding official misconduct and conspiracy.

Thank you for your dedication to the rule of law and your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

Robbin Stewart

obstructed testimony about provocation, a key element of her case.

Said the armed threats were not relevant to showing provocation.

Here, she was colluding with a person who threatened D with a gun in an extortion racket. He was seeking $100, she was seeking $1000.

She sought to bar testimony exposing the scheme.

Lawyers have a duty of civility.

Lawyers have a duty of candor to the court.

Prosecutors have additional ethical and moral duties and are not to zealously win aall costs. These ethical duties continue to apply when a quasi criminal case is labeled as a civil matter. Perhpas this is conduct prejudicial to the adminstration of justice.

Additionally, she has a supervisor, name unknown, who should have trained and supervised her to avoid all this possible misconduct apparent misconduct. That failure might implicate a duty of competence.

We do not assume she directly collaborated in this matter with the mayor, a Joseph Hogsett, also a lawyer.

Here, she harmed the reputation of the dog, Chico, threatening its life as an unisurable liability. This harmed its guardian, causing harm to reputation and perhaps

some emotional distress.

Conflict between defendant and the purjuring witness has continued. They have each assualted each other, and he continues to provoke and threaten defendnat and his roommate Dawn Young, who he denied knowing on the stand.

My name is ___.

I walk Chico several times a week. I was not a direct witness, but have some 2^nd hand awareness of the facts of the case. I am not familiar with the indiana rules of professional behavior for lawyers, so I am referring this matter to you as possibly something you would want to look into.

This is one case. She has many. My concern is that her actions might be leading to the death of loved dogs by those without the resources to resist her tricks at trial, all without due process of law. While it troubling that any citizens of our town might be conspiring to have dogs killed without due course of law to their owners or guardians, it is worse if they hide such actions behind their status as an attorney.

Sincerely, x.

Here, respondent could mitiagte damages by apologizing to Chico, and agreeing to drop the appeal.

beech grove

in may of  2026 two cops from beech grove impounded my town and country chrysler van. i had the wrong sticker for the plate. when i was told that there was nothing i could do to get a day in court, this turned the situation into Beech Grove stole my van.

at the scene, one of the officers said that i was obviously on meth. this was false and defamatory. i had had two cups of black coffee at brad's brass flamingo. i do not use meth. i have medical records covering 15 years that indicate i do not use meth or other drugs. 

i wrote to each member of the city coucil, at the email address listed on your web site. i have reason to believe that this letter was never delivere dot you, but instread was intercepted by your city attorney.

the letter was both legal and political, so not something that should have been intercepted by the legal department, unless you have also delegated to him your political functions.

your lawyer did not handle it well. when i requested the video of the incident, he allowed it to be destroyed instead. This constitutes the tort of spoliation. 

why am i here tonight? i need you to retract the false claim you made against me, through your agent the police officers. i might strike you as agitated. i can get like that. it's not meth. it's righteous indignation. 

you're not going to get away with stealing my van. you're not going to get with besmirching and impuning my good name. i don't need an apology, i do need a retraction.   

they crushed my van. they crushed the contents of my van, which included legal files. that might have also been spoliation.  

it's been 4 months since i asked your lawyer to meet with me, and for 4 months that hasn't happened. i'm a retired lawyer. the last thing i want to do is take this to court. i was told by your vice chief that we're at an impasse and they wont do anything for me. i have less than a year to get some hotshot lawyer and file this in time. i'd prefer not to go that route, but it's an option. meanwhile, what do we do about your town lawyer, mr steve willey right there? spoliation is the kind of thing his partners take seriously. so would the indiana attorney disciplinary commission.    

 

i went to the mayor's office. audra was rude and hostile and refused to schedule an appointment. i was asked to email. that night i emailed it has been a year and they have not responded.  

bmv

i went to  get my driver's license replaced, i think. yes. she refused on the apparent basis that i sign with an x despite being able to sign differtrently. 

i asked for sa  copy of the public record. she refused, and summoned a security guard. i requested a reasonable accomodation under the americans with disabilities act. she refused and had the security guard assalt me, he touched me in appropriately 4 times. police were summoned. the police officer pro,ised to  take a report if wee left. i said i was skeptical buit would go along. he then , outside, refused to take the report. i had been told i was trespassed. 

i went to bmv offices downtown and met with th e direcotr of security, who said he would review the tapes and that i probablky weas not trespassed. i have not yet requrested those public records. i emailed a week or so later and he confirmed that i was not trespassed. i have been back there. she continues to not recognize my x as valid. 

to do  file at  state agency for ada complaint also county. next, bmv internal complaint no motion for rehearing, appeal is what i'm trying to say.

 no qualified immunity for gaurd. ask his employer for incident report, any internal emails  prepare notic eof tort claims

 status update

 december of 2024 this court granted a a clean and lien order, a form of postive ongoing injunction allowing the city to enter without notice, take whatevfer it wants whenever it wants.

Pursuant to the order, there have been 4 or 5 rapes. over $100, 000 in tools equipment and inventory has been seized. $12, 000 in liens have been assessed and paid, on a $7,000 house. 

The clean and lien order has been deeply disruptive to our neighborhood Mr Vegas is dead, murdered. Gary  [Cox] is dead.    T.J is dead, murdered. Honestly Rady is dead, apparent overdose. 

Jordan is in prison, doing 3 years for strongarm robbery.

His accomplice Michelle Russell, the woman who was falsely accused of living in a trailer without electricity, went to the hospital with a broken spleen after her trailer home was destroyed. She is currently being evicted from a place on 42nd St. 

We have been told her next accomplice Zachary McVey is in jail, but we cant find him under that name.  

Her next accomplice Dennis Dewight Washington Jr. is in prison doing three years for strongarm robbery. 

The neighbors who instigated the case have purchased the house next door where they have a dangerous tenant. This week we assaulted each other. Last week we were in court about a dog bite.  

I am infested with squatters. I did not have a squatter problem before the clean and lien case.  Currently one of my squatters is having a mental health crisis and is likely to need hospitalization. 

 

 

 

 

 

 devin incident. lies insults. attempted arson. threw a lit cigarette. 

burn in hell, bitch, shityy this that the other. but  did not make a specific threat. 

how to respond. 

file adult abuse claim. who else besides sherry can drop a dime on hulsey?

Re: Notice of Staff Misconduct and Breach of Professional Civility Rules

Dear Ms. Armstrong, Ms. Jackson-Lindsay, and Members of the Board:

I am writing to bring a serious internal matter to your immediate attention regarding the administrative staff operating your front desk today. I expect the Indianapolis Bar Association to mirror the standards of professional civility it demands within the legal community. Today, your staff failed that baseline metric.

While visiting your offices to investigate your Attorney Referral Service, a member of the front-line staff repeatedly and flatly asserted three consecutive times that I was not an attorney. This was false and defamatory. The employee actively refused to let me speak or present my official credential (Bar Number: 17147-53). Because I have a tendency to raise my voice when encountering sudden, unyielding resistance, the situation escalated on both sides. However, rather than pausing to verify my bar status, the employee immediately threatened to summon law enforcement to have a customer arrested. A second staff member eventually stepped in and acted reasonably to de-escalate the situation, but the initial misconduct remains a severe issue.

Attorneys have a clear duty of civility, alongside an explicit duty to properly control and supervise the behavior of their administrative subordinates. It is completely unacceptable for an organization that heavily markets a referral service to professionals to threaten those same potential customers with arrest at the front door. I recognize that there have been some changes since I was last an active member. 

I want to handle this discreetly and internally to ensure it serves as a necessary professional correction. I have no desire to escalate this to an external disciplinary commission. I would be  satisfied with a sincere written apology from the front-desk staff member involved. To ensure this fixes the customer-service blind spot, the apology must not merely defer to the technical fact of my licensure; it must explicitly acknowledge that no individual walking through the doors of the IBA should ever be treated with that level of hostile, presumptive incivility.

I expect a prompt response from management to arrange this internal resolution.

Sincerely, Robbin Stewart

Bar Number: 17147-53

 

Adult Protective Services

The Adult Protective Services program was established to receive and investigate reports regarding adults within the state of Indiana who may be endangered and, as appropriate, to coordinate a proper response to protect endangered adults who are victims of abuse, neglect, or exploitation.

APS field investigations are managed by five regional teams. APS is required to screen all reports of abuse, neglect, and exploitation of vulnerable adults aged 18 years and older. When a report meets the qualifications of an endangered adult per IC 12-10-3-2(a), APS will assess the allegations. Reports that do not meet the qualifications of an endangered adult, but may need to be reviewed by other agencies, are referred to the appropriate agency.

How to file a report

Indiana is a mandatory report state, meaning everyone is required by law to report cases of suspected neglect, battery or exploitation of an endangered adult to an APS unit or law enforcement. All reports are secured and kept confidential.

Please note that APS is not an emergency responder, if you believe someone is in immediate danger, call 911 immediately.

Individuals may file a report online or by calling the state hotline or calling an APS field office.

After a report is submitted

After a report is submitted it is sent to the director of the local APS unit, who will determine the appropriate next step. APS will keep your report confidential and will not disclose your name without a court order or the consent of all parties named in the report. If APS conducts an investigation, an investigator may contact you for additional information; however, APS does not discuss ongoing investigations and will not provide you with information regarding the details or the status of the investigation.

Please understand that when adults have the capacity to make their own decisions, they may refuse services and have the right to do so. APS has no authority to force a fully cognizant adult to do anything against their will.
