No court reporters were ever present in the chambers OF JUDGE GUY ROOM 742, even though I ask. Letter from attoney gerneral and copyied to DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN wanted to know why a case was opened after there investagion which was filed with court before temporary order was granted because “ im on disability, with no car”. Not because of neglect. Abandonment or being unable to provide which The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment was violated. |
|||||||||||||||||||
C. What are the facts underlying your claim(s)? (For example: What happened to you? Who did what? Was anyone else involved? Who else saw what happened?) |
|||||||||||||||||||
Parents and child had a clearly established liberty interest in associating together. This right was violated where the defendants allegedly had no indication of any physical neglect of the child, no indication of any immediate threat to her welfare, and no indication of any criminal activity by her mother, where they had only third-hand hearsay that the child’s mother had no electric or food after the mother auto accident proof was provided to court and filed but overlooked, and where defendants refused to return the child, had not investigated to determine whether it was necessary to remove the child in the first place as no investagion from the state . there where no facts set in this case as filed as mother deceased and if saying mental illness was an issue thats a matter traditionally labeled both “civil” and “treatment” oriented rather than accusatorial. The judge allowed a case based on disabilty By its nature, however, the threat of liability can create perverse incentives that operate to inhibit officials in the proper performance of their duties. In many contexts, government officials are expected to make decisions that are impartial or imaginative, and that, above all, are informed by considerations other than the personal interests of the decisionmaker. judge guy asked robert fishback to be a third party even through he was council for the other defendents and Absent extraordinary circumstances, a parent has a liberty interest in familial association and privacy that cannot be violated without adequate pre-deprivation proceduresSince there is no evidence indicating that the average respondent or person with a disability who can retain counsel is better or less neglectful than one who cannot, the conclusion seems inescapable that a significant number of cases against unrepresented parents result in findings of neglect solely because of the absence of counsel. In other words, assuming a basic faith in the adversary system as a method of bringing the truth to light, a significant number of neglect findings (followed in many cases by a taking of the child from his parents) against unrepresented indigents are probably erroneous. It would be hard to think of a system of law which works more to the oppression of the poor than the denial of appointed counsel to indigents in neglect proceedings.the action occurred “under color of state law” and (2) the action resulted in the deprivation of a constitutional right or federal statutory right.
Robert Fishback
The above-mentioned Defendant acting as Attorney for XXX k (the Defendants herein) filed a case in Duval County on 8/21/2021 where he alleged that I was the minor’s mother but I was deceased.
• He did not file a State Interfered or Investigated Claims and Proof with the Court as proof of the said allegation.
• The Defendant amended the Court Order to read that I am the minor’s mother and I was deceased on XXXX and that he asked for XXX to have custody of the minor while going through an eviction.
• The Defendant based the case on perjury statements and fabrication of evidence as the Defendant did not adduce any evidence in Court to prove any of the allegations made in the court papers specifically the allegation on why I as the minor’s mother was being kept away from the minor without state interference.
• The forced separation of I and the minor that was occasioned by the Defendant is a serious infringement of both I and the minor. There was no proof of any extraordinary circumstances that warranted deprivation of interaction with the minor and my right to familial association and privacy were thus infringed upon without adequate pre-deprivation procedures being followed.
My claim against the Defendant herein is merited as he failed to follow due process as is required by law which resulted in the disruption of I and the minor’s parent-child relationship. The action occurred “Under Color of State Law” and it resulted in the deprivation of a constitutional right or federal statutory right.
XXX
The Defendant filed a case on XXXX without any evidence and relied on hearsay and was motivated with financial reasons as she found out that I was on Disability Funds Program after I was involved in an auto accident and wanted control over my Social Security Funds.
• She gained control over the said funds after committing me in a hospital without my consent and reason on file states as follows “Mom Said I Needed to Be Seen.”
• During my admission in hospital, no bills were paid for me or the minor and both I and the minor were removed from our home since 2015 and our bills went to collections. I provided evidence to prove the same but the same was ignored.
XXX
This Defendant helped Iris Newkirk make false allegations in the case for financial reasons as she wanted access to my social security money since she was being evicted from her apartment on XXXXX.
• The Complex she was living in filed Court Order which she avoided by not answering the door for her to be served and her vehicle was repossessed from CarMax.
• She made YouTube videos and used other social media platforms to humiliate and slander me. From the said videos and social media content, it is evident that the Defendant had taken my furniture without consent when I was hospitalized and proof of the same was provided to Judge Guy.
• The Defendant repeatedly alleged that I had committed fraud due to my being on social security and had evictions and lost my vehicle due to lack of payment which was all proven and documented in Court to be false (please see docket in court case).
Jessica Jordan
This Defendant helped in hiding the minor. She did not want me to take the minor to the doctor after her and her husband, Eric Jordan, they had visited me in hospital after my auto accident.
• The Defendant further made false statements including that I was not able to provide food and electricity for the minor. She hid the minor from me and prevented me from performing my parental duties and rights.
• She prevented me from seeing the minor at the hospital whenever I felt that something was wrong or there was a change in the minor’s behavior after a visit from any family member which was my right as a parent.
• All the allegations brought forth against me by this Defendant were proven to be false and the same were docketed in the case file.
Eric Jordan
This Defendant works for the State of Florida and made a post on Instagram and other social media platforms alleging that I did was not able to access electricity or water and disclosed other information relating to my disability. Such disclosure was contrary to HIPPA Rights.
• The Defendant used my medical information that he had access to by virtue of him working for the State of Florida on his social media posts and to friends and family which was breach of my privacy rights.
Judge guy The Honourable Judge allowed a case based on hearsay evidence and fabrication of evidence as the original filing listed me as deceased.
• When Robert Fishback amended the court papers on two occasions, the 8/2021 and 9/21/2021, to the Judge overlooked the aid amendments and declared them to be typos and instead focused on my disability which he had no jurisdiction over and was not relevant to the case.
• I inquired as to why I was never served with the summons until 10/2022 yet the case was filed on 4/30/2021 to which I never got a comprehensive response.
• As at now, I have filed over twenty (20) motion requests which have all been denied and I was further told that until I get a car and secure a job, I am considered unfit which is an infringement of my constitutional rights and as a fit parent who has not been proven to be unfit.
• According to the docket, custody was mentioned but there is no proof that custody was given to Iris Newkirk or any other family member. I requested Iris Newkirk and XXXX for proof that the former was true but never received any. That was the first false statement and perjury statement filed and the same was overlooked by the Judge as I have been the only one with custody of the minor evidence of which is filed in court when I was granted child support in XXX County (See attached);
• I told the Judge that I had worked before including with the Ticket To Work Program Since XXX and had jobs through the program at The XXX. Despite me telling the Judge that I had just had an accident and was still undergoing treatment and that my car was totaled during the accident, the Judge found me to be an unfit parent.
• No Department of Children or any investigation on the allegations brought against by my family or documentary evidence provided to prove their allegations. The Judge declared me unfit to be a parent solely because of the lack of social security and vehicle which is in violation of The Equal Protection Clause of The Fourteenth Amendment.
• In light of the above, it is evident that the Judge did not act within the limitations of his judicial authority.
• Letters from doctors and the minor’s school were presented in decline of the minor’s mental health and performance but I was still denied a chance to exercise my parental rights and duties over the minor and the focus was on my disability which is discrimination that I am an unfit parent on the basis of my disability.
• Willfully depriving someone of a right or privilege protected by the US constitution or laws is illegal. The Judge kept mentioning that I am on Medicaid and I have been having problems getting insurance and state benefits since this case started.
XXXX
This Defendant is the minor’s biological father and helped in filing of fabricated case for removal of his child support and arrears.
• He relied on the fact that I am disabled to have me declared incapacitated and filed to be removed from providing child support and paying previous arrears but never appeared in any court hearings before this court.
• The Defendant was at one point in arrears of $35,000 and could not be traced for service or court appearance but was present for a case that alleged that I was deceased. The Defendant was found to be in default of court orders twice but was never held accountable.
• The Judge removed the Defendant off child support on XXXX, as the case was to the appeal and The Appeals Court removed the case from Duval and sent to Dayton Volusia County.
• Per Jn, Jayvon McGary was paying XXXXX and JN $500 when he filed taxes when he was removed from paying child support because they filed that I was dead, incapacitated and unfit.
• Judge Guy removed the Defendant from paying child support and arrears so that he only owed $13,000. The Defendant has never played an active role in the minor’s life.
1-100 DOES Discriminatory arrests, police brutality, and use of excessive force are all examples of civil rights violations committed by these Defendants.
• I received threats of backer acting me without reason or case. The conduct complained of in my complaint was committed by all the Defendants acting under the color of state law which conduct infringed my constitutional rights.
• Defendant’s conduct is shown to be motivated by evil motive or intent as it involves reckless and callous indifference shown towards my federally protected rights. I intend to adduce evidence disregarded during the case to prove the same.
