As indicated above, my name is James Hamilton and I am writing to you today regarding my conversations with Assistant District Attomey Mr. Rich Tuttle via phone, and email starting ‘August 17", 2016 and ending August 23%, 2016. In summary, the referenced conversations (audio copies are available), consisted of my request {or the District Attorney's Office to pursue criminal charges against the Petitioner Cynthia Dawn Fields in Mesa County Court case # 200SDR258, and follow-up regarding that request. ‘After initial contact with Assistant District Attomey Mr. Rich Tuttle, and an explanation of the issues and basis for a request for the District Attorney's Oftice to pursue criminal charges against the Petitioner Cynthia Dawn Fields for parental abduction, alienation, and kidnapping of two minor children for more than twelve years now in violation of Federal Laws, Colorado State laws, PKPA, UCCJEA, UCCIA, and the Parental Abduction Act, Mr. Rich Tuttle gave me a brief elucidation citing the reluctance for the District Attomey’s Office to get involved in very many cases due to the lack of fanding, resourees, and appropriate staf to perform the duties essential to protecting Mesa County Colorado's numerous citizens. Although reluctantly, District attorney Office 22 Judicial District Letter #1 of Inquiry Regarding Request To Prosecute Page 1 of Mr. Rich Tuttle, no doubt sensing my urgency and frustration, eventually agreed to look up the case and get back to me within a reasonable time. ‘After approximately a week of hearing nothing from the District Attomey’s Office, or Mr. Rich Tuttle, I decide to attempt contact fecting enough time had passed for Mr. Rich Tuttle 10 gather the information sufficient to initiate a case. Tt took a number of attempted contacts and leaving voice messages before I received a retum call from Mr. Rich Tuttle. I was not available at the time of the return call; nevertheless Mr. Rich Tuttle left a voice message claiming he had discovered too many allegations and accusations against me James Hamilton) for the District ‘Attomey’s Office to pursue the case, my request was denied. Thave attempted on several occasions to contact Mr. Rich Tuttle regarding these allegations and accusations, leaving voice messages at the number he provided and I had reached him on previously with no successful contact, or return call from the messages I left, At the present and with this letter, I am requesting; 1.) Once again for the District Attorney's Office to pursue the initial charges requested, and secure the immediate safety and security of the uainor children involved, in accordance with the laws Colorado has agreed to abide. ‘Additionally, if there are any existing allegations or accusations against me as supposed by Assistant District Attomey Mr. Rich Tuttle, and filed with the District Attomey’s Office or any other official, legal office and known to the District Attomey’s Office, averting the ability of the District Attomey’s Office to take action to protect the Real Victims including the minor children, and myself in this case, and under the 21" Judicial Districts jurisdiction, I have a Right to know; 2.) What specifically are those allegations, accusations, and charges if any exist as well as; 3.) Who are the accusers? 4.)

Catherine C, Burkey continually lies and ‘manipulates the courts as indicated in the provided documents and audio recording provided herein on USB. Criminsi conduet; and 1.) The Mesa County Family Courts, District Court judges, and Magistrates, and (MCDHS) Mesa County Department of Health Services in conjunction with (CSE) Child Support Enforcement, al in collusion with attomey Catherine C. Burkey in this case (200SDR258), have committed numerous violations of law and criminal conduct; One need only Took at the case files, including motions filed, and orders denied and entered, along with court dockets in detail to determine the discrimination and discrepancies identifying the criminal conduct related to subject matter jurisdiction, null and void orders, falsification of documents and court records, failure to fulfill duties, all so they can fraudulently collect federal funding into the county. For example, in 2004-2005 magistrates Jane Westbrook slong with magistrate ‘Cynthia Cyphers issued multiple orders for contempt and citations to show cause for a pro-se litigant (me) despite alternate options afforded the court given the difficulties in the case, This resulted in an appearance before judge Brian Flynn with Catherine C. Burkey as the opposing counsel. I appeared with one witness, Sister Patricia Leuter from the Counseling and Education Center who was accompanied by 2 driver. Upon commencement of the hearing by judge Brian Flynn, Catherine C. Burkey approached the bench and began ex-parte communications with Judge Flynn, Immediately following judge Flynn struck his gavel exclaiming case dismissed. Beginning to question his decision, I was immediately interrupted and threatened with contempt if I said another word. Out in the lobby, I was approached by Catherine C. Burkey and threatened to the point of having to call over one of the sheriff deputies to ask her to leave my personal space. All of these actions are post multiple false arrests, jail time, loss of jobs, orchestrated by Catherine C. Burkey and her client Cynthia Dawn Fields, and any others they could use to sccomplish their criminal behaviors. Please see false statements, and dates in direst conflict with couct orders from Mesa County sheriffs office, and Boulder County in issuance of warrants fo arrest me. (12 hours is a felony, see C.R.S. 18-3-303(2\(b) after feloniously falsely imprisoning, 2.) For twelve years now, Catherine C. Burkey has fulfilled her threats to prevent me from seeing my children through continuing to represent her client; Cynthia Dawn Fields although having fali knowledge and participation in her criminal actions and behavior of Parental Alienation, Request for Investigation and Complaint of Mesa County Colorado Family Courts Page 2 of 21 Abduction, and kidnapping. All of which contribute to abuse of the children involved. Please see case filed with National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. }) Moreover, recent case filings will reveal multiple maliciously false claims by Catherine C. Burkey to the mesa county court claiming as a pro-se litigant with only one case in the state of Colorado, Iam a vexatious litigant, and to which the courts award her attorneys fees, (One of ‘those motions is currently in appeal with the court of appeals). 4.) Catherine C, Burkey as demonstrated by the letters attached herein continually obstructs the expedition of justice involving two minor children, commits perjury on the court through lies to the court, and violates most if not all of the C.R.C.P. and Professional Conduct Rules, 5.)

In a conspiracy prosecution, the critical inquiry is whether the circumstances, acts, and conduct of the parties are of such a character that the minds of reasonable men may conclude therefrom that an unlawful agreement exists.

Request for Investigation and Complaint of Mesa County Colorado Family Courts Page 7 of 11 © Unreasonably failing to communicate significant updates in a ease, upcoming court dates or other important deadtines and information about a legal matter to a client. Under C.R.C.P. 252.16, an attorney cannot charge you legal fees to help file a claim witit ‘the fund. CRCP. 251.32 requires that a request for investigation against an attorney be filed within five years from the time you discover or reasonably should have discovered the attorney’e duct. There is ao rule of limitations for filing 2 complaint alleging theft of ciient lunds or fraud. ‘There are three possible resolutions at this stage: 1, The intake attorney mav dismiss the case if he or she determines the Colorado Rules of Professional Conduct are not implicated or that there is not clear and convincing evidence of any Rule violation. This appears to be the typical response from the Regulation Counsel leaving victims and the public with no recourse, or justice. 2. If there is evideace of minor ethical misconduct that qualifies for an alternative to discipline, the intake attorney may offer diversion to the attorney. Not in Mesa County Colorado, corrupt, cormupt, corrupt. 3. there is clear evidence of more serious misconduct, the matter is assigned to 2 trial attorney for further investigation and possible pursuit of a disciplinary sanction. Possible must be the key word here, determined if the attorney is a part of the (GOB) Good Ole Boy system, 2 real team player with the courts and judges. ‘Yes. The office will send the attorney's response to the complaining witness, who them has 14 days to file his or her own response. ‘The time varies, but on av it takes approximately six months from wher it was assigned to the trial division to completion of the investigative report. ‘One factor is the trial division's heavy caseload. Another factor is the timeline ingrained in the process. The office allows three weeks for the respondent attorney to respond and another two weeks for the complaining witness to reply after that. If records need to be subpoenaed, that can take another couple months. Obviously alittle one sided, the attomey has three weeks to respond while the complainant gets two and still does not account for six months of process. Ultimately results in no action against the attorney anyway. ‘The attorney discipline process can feel long for parties involved in a case. Still, it moves much quicker than traditional civil cases. The length also ensures a thorough investigation and that due process is afforded to both parties, This is the biggest farce ever perpetrated on the public, Request for Investigation and Complaint of Mesa County Colorado Family Courts Page 8 of i ‘There are several possible resolutions during the investigation phase: © Trial attorney finds no violations of thre Cotorado Rules of Professional Conduct and requests the case he dismissed. Regulation Counsel must approve dismissals. My experience to date must be the most popular. + Trial attorney finds a minor violation of the rales and enters into a diversion agreement with the attorney respondent. Diversion agreements must be approved by the Attorney Regulation Committee. The next most common I have read about resulting ina slap on the wrist. © Trial attorney finds a more serious rule violation and submits a report ¢o che Attorney Regulation Committee recommending formal disciplinary proceedings. » The respondent attorney and trial attorney enter into a stipulated agreement. Stipulated agreements must be approved by the Presiding Disciplinary Judge. > The case may be placed in abeyance when a respondent attorney is disbarred in a separate case or when the attorney is placed on disability inactive status. © Fhe case goes direetly to the Presiding Disciplinary Judge or the Colorado Supreme Court, sidestepping the Attorney Regulation Committee. This happens when an attorney has been disciplined in another state or if there was an immediate suspension of the attorney's license during the investigative phase. C.R.CP. 251.18 governs hearings before the hearing board. ‘At the conclusion of formal proceedings, the hearing board will issue a decision. The respondent attomey or the Office of Attomey Regulation Counsel may appeal the hearing board's decision to the Colorado Supreme Court pursuant to C.RC.P. 251.27. ‘Thirty-day suspension was appropriate discipline where attomney advised client to take action in violation of child custody order but failed to war her of criminal consequences of such action.

A, Public Censure. Attorney suspended for three years for repeated neglect and delay in handling legal matters, failure to comply with the directions contained in a letter of admonition, and failure to answer letter of complaint from the grievance committee constitute a violation of this rule, and, with other offenses of the code of professional responsibility. People v. Hebenstreit, 764 P.2d 51 (Colo, 1988) Suspension of lawyer for three years, which is the longest possible period for suspension, ‘is appropriate where there was extensive pattern of client neglect and intentional deception in client matters over a period of years. Anything less would be too lenient. People v. Hellewell, 811 P.2d 386 (Colo. 1991). Suspension for three years is appropriate where lawyer failed to respond to motions or appear at hearing, resulting in dismissal of clients’ bankruptey proceeding, thereby increasing ents’ debts tenfold. The hearing board further found that the attorney engaged in bad faith obstruction of the disciplinary proceedings and refused to acknowledge the wrongful nature of his conduct or the vulnerability of his clients.
