Canon Rule 1.2: Promoting confidence in the Judiciary ‘Ajudge shall act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the independence,* integrity, and impartiality* of the judiciary, and shall avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety Canon Rule 2.2: Impartiality and Fairness A judge shall uphold and apply the law,* and shall perform all duties of judicial office fairly and impartially.* A judge may make reasonable efforts, consistent with the law and court rules, to facilitate the ability of al litigants, including selfrepresented litigants, to be fairly heard. Denand for Dismissal for Lack of Jurisdiction 8 of 10 Canon Rule 2.6: Ensuring the Right to Be Heard @ A Judge shall accord to every person who has a legal interest in a proceeding, or that person's lawyer, the right to be heard according to law.” (B)A judge may encourage parties to a proceeding and their lawyers to settle matters in dispute but shall not act in a manner that coerces any party into settlement. Canon Rule 2.15: Responding to Judicial and Lawyer Misconduct “ ‘A judge having knowledge* that another judge has committed a violation of this Code that raises a substantial question regarding the judge's honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a judge in other respects shall inform the appropriate authority." (B)A judge having knowledge that a lawyer has committed a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct that raises a substantial question regarding the lawyer's honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer in other respects shall inform the appropriate authority. (OA judge who receives credible information indicating a substantial likelihood that another judge has committed a violation of this Code shall take appropriate action, @ ‘A judge who receives credible information indicating a substantial likelihood that a lawyer has committed a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct shall take appropriate action, “U.S. Supreme Court held that state officials acting by ‘color of law" may be held personally liable for the injuries or torts they cause and that official or sovereign immunity may not be asserted.” “Scheuer v. Rhodes, 416 US. 232 (1974), 94 S. Ct. 1683, 1687 (1974) “When a state officer acts under a state law in a manner violative of the Federal Constitution, he comes into conflict with the superior authority of that Constitution, and he is in that case stripped of his official or representative character and is subjected in his person to the consequences of his individual conduct. The State has no power to impart to him any immunity from responsibility to the supreme authority of the United States.” -Warnock y. Pecos County, Texas, 116 F.3d 776 No. 96-50869 Summary Calendar. July 3, 1997. Demand for Dismissal for Lack of Jurisdiction - 9of10 1) Anestablished maxim of law states that “an unrebutted affidavit stands as the truth in commerce”; therefore, any affidavit submitted for the Defendant must be rebutted point-for-point in the form of an affidavit and under the penalty of perjury. If there is no timely rebuttal, then the affidavit submitted must be honored as the judgment and affirmative defense per Rule 8(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The following case law supports this assertion: i “Indeed, no more than [an affidavit] is necessary to make the prima facie case.” —United States v. Kis, 658 F.2d 526, 536 (7th Cir. 1981), cert. denied sub nom. Salkin v. United States, 455 U.S. 1018, 102 S. Ct. 1712, 72 L. Bd. 2d 135 (1982). ii, “Silence can only be equated with fraud where there is a legal or moral duty to speak, or where an inquiry left unanswered would be intentionally misleading... We cannot condone this shocking behavior... This sort of deception will not be tolerated, and if this is routine, it should be corrected immediately.” —United States v. Tweel, 5950 F.2d 297, 299. See also U.S. v. Prudden, 424 F.2d 1021, 1032; Carmine v. Bowen, 64 A. 932. 2) An injury in fact (corpus delicti) due to the alleged conduct of the undersigned Attorney in Fact for the Defendant in Error has not been introduced into the record; therefore, there is no claim upon which relief can be granted, and the court is without subject matter jurisdiction in order to properly adjudicate a justiciable controversy. i, FEDERAL RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE (F.R.CP.), Rule 2: “There is one form of action — the civil action.” ii, “Over the years, our cases have established that the irreducible constitutional minimum standing contains three elements. First, the Plaintiff must have suffered an “injury in fact”. Second, there must be a causal connection between the injury and the conduct complained of — the injury has to be “fairly... trace[able] to the challenged action of the defendant, and not... the result of the independent action of some third party not before the court.” Third, it must be likely as opposed to merely speculative that the injury will be redressed by a favorable decision.” -Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife, et al., 504 U.S. 555 (1992) Demand for Dismissal for Lack of Jurisdiction ~ ------ 100f10 iii, corpus delicti (noun) — the body of a crime; the body (material substance) upon which a crime has been committed, e.g. the corpse of a murdered man, the charred remains of a house burned down. People v. Dick, 37 Cal. 251; White v. State, 49 Ala. 347; Goldman v. Com., 100 Va, 805, 42 S. E. 923; State v. Hand, 1 Marv. (Del.) 545, 41 Atl. 192; State v. Dickson, 78 Mo. 441 (Black's Law, 2nd ed.) 3) As contract makes the law, there is no lawful contract known or revealed tome, the Attomey in Fact for the alleged Defendant, that compels me to perform or to accept liability as trustee for this constructive commercial trust brought forth with color under 27 C.F.R. § 72.11 (see “commercial crimes”). i. In order to be a legally binding agreement, contract law provides that there must be (1) an offer, (2) valuable consideration, (3) two or more parties capable of contracting or entering into an agreement, (4) an ‘unambiguous acceptance of the offer, and (5) mutual consideration (“a meeting of the minds”). In some cases, a written agreement may be required with the signatures by all parties on the contract according to the statute of frauds. Full disclosure of the terms of the contract is imperative, and any fraud, coercion, or misrepresentation makes a contract void and unenforceable [see Commissioner v. Sunnen, 333 U.S. 591 (1948); Oubre v. Entergy Operations, Inc., 112 F.3d 787 (1998); Maxcess, Inc. v. Lucent Technologies, Inc., 433 F.3d 1337 (11th Cir. 2005)] When I was ia baby, I could not lawfully consent to be the trustee for the United States Citizen / Cestui Que Vie Trust / Maritime Vessel with the name of Ex Rel: CHEVVON YOUMANS. Further, by not responding to any of the several affidavits submitted by the I Affiant the Alleged Defendant in Error, Petitioner/Claimant agrees that there is no lawful initial contract that can be introduced into the record with the wet ink signature of the Undersigned. Therefore, without a contract, there is no case [see Erie Railroad Co. v. Tompkins, 304 U.S. 64 (1938)] 11 of 10 Demand for Dismissal for Lack of Juriediction -: CONCLUSION | THEREFORE, this Demand shall be lawfully honored due to the facts made known herein before the court that Magistrate Regina Tidwell is operating from the bench under Color-of-Authority, that Discovery was not sufficiently provided per the Affidavit of Fact/Writ In the Nature of Discovery — Lawful Warning/Notice introduced for I Affiant, Alleged Defendant, that the impartiality of the judge is in doubt, that Petitioner/Claimant is in agreement with all of the affidavits for Alleged Defendant, that Petitioner/Claimant has not properly submitted a claim upon which request can be granted, and that there is no initial contract between the parties in this matter. For the above-listed reasons, the Undersigned declares that this court is, without subject matter jurisdiction and that this matter shall be dismissed with prejudice and in the interest of justice as Petitioner/Claimant has been allotted the appropriate time to respond to cure their fault and dishonor. I do not claim any benefit of said guarantees and are included solely ag a reference to the law and conduct of named and unnamed Respondents and are used due to the oaths being sworn upon it and no adherence or non-adherence to any organized religious group including but not limited to registered corporate organizations on the I Affiant may be assumed.

Rhodes, 416 U.S. 232 (1974), 94 S. Ct. 1683, 1687 (1974) “When a state officer acts under a state law in a manner violative of the Federal Constitution, he comes into conflict with the superior authority of that Constitution, and he is in that case stripped of his official or representative character and is subjected in his person to the consequences of his individual conduct. The State has no power to impart to him any immunity from responsibility to the supreme authority of the United States.” -Warnock v. Pecos County, Texas, 116 F.3d.776 No. 96-50869 Summary Calendar. July 3, 1997. Denand for Dismissal for Lack of Jurisdiction 9of10 1) Anestablished maxim of law states that “an unrebutted affidavit stands as the truth in commerce”; therefore, any affidavit submitted for the Defendant must be rebutted point-for-point in the form of an affidavit and under the penalty of perjury. If there is no timely rebuttal, then the affidavit submitted must be honored as the judgment and affirmative defense per Rule 8(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The following case law supports this assertion: i, “Indeed, no more than {an affidavit] is necessary to make the prima facie case.” United States v. Kis, 658 F.2d 526, 536 (Tth Cir. 1981), cert. denied sub nom, Salkin v. United States, 455 US. 1018, 102 S Ct. 1712, 72 L. Ed. 2d 135 (1982). ii, “Silence can only be equated with fraud where there is a legal or moral duty to speak, or where an inquiry left unanswered would be intentionally misleading... We cannot condone this shocking behavior... This sort of deception will not be tolerated, and if this is routine, it should be corrected immediately.” —United States v. Tweel, 590 F.2d 297, 299. See also U.S. v. Prudden, 424 F.2d 1021, 1032; Carmine v. Bowen, 64 A. 932. 2) An injury in fact (corpus delicti) due to the alleged conduct of the undersigned Attorney in Fact for the Defendant in Error has not been introduced into the record; therefore, there is no claim upon which relief can be granted, and the court is without subject matter jurisdiction in order to properly adjudicate a justiciable controversy. i, FEDERAL RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE (FR.CP.), Rule 2: “There is one form of action — the civil action.” ii, “Over the years, our cases have established that the irreducible constitutional minimum standing contains three elements. First, the Plaintiff must have suffered an “injury in fact”. Second, there must be a causal connection between the injury and the conduct complained of | — the injury has to be “fairly... trace[able] to the challenged action of the defendant, and not... the result of the independent action of some third party not before the court.’ Third, it must be likely as opposed to merely speculative that the injury will be redressed by a favorable decision.” -Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife, et al. 504 U.S. 555 (1992) Demand for Dismissal for Lack of Jurisdiction ~ iii, corpus delicti (noun) ~ the body of a crime; the body (material substance) upon which a crime has been committed, e.g. the corpse of a murdered man, the charred remains of a house burned down.

In some cases, a written agreement may be required with the signatures by all parties on the contract according to the statute of frauds. Full disclosure of the terms of the contract is imperative, and any fraud, coercion, or misrepresentation makes a contract void and unenforceable . [sce Commissioner v.
