The greatest danger to American freedom is a government that ignores the Constitution."

NJ has become such a State!



Flaster Greenberg Update Video Below

Governor Christie: When are you going to have the people involved in this investigated?

Or are you involved in this outright deprivation of our Constitutional & Civil Rights? 

 

It is pretty sad day in America when a citizen of the United States has to go to such extremes to have their Civil and Constitutional rights enforced and protected.  

I gave Governor Christie notice via the Governors online form and yet another opportunity to do something to protect our Civil and Constitutional Rights.  Video of prior notice mailed online to Governor Christie - Video of prior notice mailed online to Paula Dow the NJ Attorney General

I received no reply from the Governors online form.  I tried one more time to get help from the Governor before submitting the release.  I called the Governors office and spoke to two people.  Neither cared that I was going to make the info below public.  Actually they were quite rude and not interested in the content of the letter or that the letter would embarrass the Governor!

The Attorney Generals Office replied Sunday, October 9th at 5pm with a message "To Whom it May Concern: Your e-mail to The Office of The Attorney General will be reviewed by the Citizens Services and Relations Office and if necessary referred to the appropriate Division within the Department for reply.  In the event you do not receive a reply, please notify Citizens Services and Relations at 609-984-5828. We appreciate your taking the time to write."   I've been thru this before and am not going to accept the usual run around that ends up nowhere.  NJ is not capable of policing itself. 

We are in America and are supposed to have Civil and Constitutional Rights!  We do not have these rights when Governors and Attorney Generals allow Judges to violate our Constitutional and Civil Rights.

Governor Christie claims to care about the residents of New Jersey but his lack of action in this matter shows that he does not care.  It appears to me that budgets and financial issues matter to our Governor but an American's Constitutional and Civil Rights do not matter.  Our Constitutional and Civil Rights are priceless and more important than any financial matter

I also wrote to the attorneys giving them another opportunity to provide a statute that gives the plaintiff standing.  Only Ms. Vidal from Flaster Greenberg in Cherry Hill, NJ replied.  Her reply is at the bottom of the page.  Ms. Vidal did not provide a Statute but she did threaten me and claim that my statements in the open letter are false.  Read the open letter, read the emails and the documents and decide for yourself.  This is a Brief Description of each document and it's content.  After reading I think you may feel that Ms. Vidal is severely lacking in integrity and ethics being that she claims that my statements are "false and misleading."  Her email is an admission to me that she is a willing participant.  If Ms. Vidal and/or any of the parties involved in this case cared at all about their reputations they would have done what was right and not have been willing participants in this travesty of justice case. 

In all fairness I have placed the documents and/or any proof or evidence of any wrongdoing provided by the plaintiff within the past year HERE

Guardians are appointed for mentally incapacitated adults.  Judge Hogan totally ignored the required legal process ( R 4:86) and appointed the guardian in spite of two recent mental exams that my Mother easily passed scoring 30 out of 30 one the first and 29 out of 30 on the second.  The most recent exam was two days old when Hogan appointed the guardian.  Governor Christie and Paula Dow the NJ Attorney General were repeatedly informed of the Judges total disregard of the law, rules of court and our Civil and Constitutional rights.  Judge Hogan was made aware that the Governor and Attorney General were aware of his actions.  The Judges rulings were even more corrupt after being informed!  Governor Christie is like so many other politicians!  Say what sounds good and do the opposite! (or do nothing)

Change.org|Start an Online Petition »

 

The Petition hasn't gotten many signatures but does it really matter how many it gets?  Each time someone signs the Petition an email is sent to the Governor and the NJ Senate.  How many emails must they receive to protect and enforce a persons Constitutional and Civil Rights?  It's pathetic that someone has to Petition their Government to do their job! 

The Attorneys

Flaster Greenberg Update Video – I sent THIS EMAIL to Renee Vidal & carbon copied it to every attorney in the firm.  The email was a brief history of Vidal’s corrupt actions.  I yet again asked for a Statute giving the plaintiff standing.  Give me a Statute and I will take down this webpage.  As you can see by the read confirmations the email was read almost 500 times by the numerous attorneys in the firm.  I think it was a total of about 70 different attorneys in the firm.  Not one replied with a statute!  I assume that the whole firm does not care if an attorney in their firm participates in flagrant corruption that denies a US Citizen their rights.  Would you trust a firm that allows its attorneys to participate in flagrant corruption takes your money and sells you out to the opposing party?  You can view the video HERE.  The video shows what attorneys read the email and how many times they read it. 

Numerous NJ Attorneys were willing participants in this flagrant violation of a persons rights.  All turned a blind eye while dipping into my Mothers Retainers!  It's criminal fraud to take a persons money and not do what you are hired to do!  In NJ it is not only allowed the corrupt leader must have told them to do so! These attorneys knowingly and willingly jumped on the corruption bandwagon to abuse my Mother, harass me and deny us our Civil and Constitutional Rights.  You better think real hard before you hire any of these attorneys!  Read about each lawyer in the open letter below, in the emails and the court documents and decide for yourself if you would trust any of them to represent you.  This is a Brief Description of each document and it's content.

Thomas Begley 3 of Begley Law Group in Moorestown, NJ.  Took approximately $4500.00 to sell us out.  Read the documents! Read how easily Mr. Begley lies and withholds documents.  To this day I still do not have the signature page from the order to show cause signed by Judge in spite of the fact that the plaintiff submitted no proof of any of his claims.  To this day over a year later the plaintiff has submitted no proof of any of his claims.  Mr Begley claimed that you can not give testimony at an order to show cause hearing. 

Thomas K Cuneo of the Law Offices of David K Cuneo in Collingswood, NJ.  Used up a $5,000.00 retainer without ever attempting to do what he was retained to do and then quit.  Mr. Cuneo was retained to dispute the guardian that was appointed with total disregard of the process and was told to evict a drug dealer and squatters from my Mothers home.  He did neither!  He actually denied repeatedly that my Mother told him to evict in spite of the fact that he knew the meeting was recorded and heard the recording.  At the very same time that Mr. Cuneo would not admit that he was to do the evictions the corrupt court was claiming, yet again, that I kidnapped my Mother and was holding her hostage.  The corrupt ring leader is stopping Cuneo from evicting so that she can return to her home & claiming that I kidnapped my Mother and am holding her hostage.   

Kelli Martone of the Law Offices of David K Cuneo in Collingswood, NJ.  Got paid $1,250.00 to represent and protect my Mother sat on her rump and allowed an illegally appointed guardian ad litem to do what a guardian ad litem is not allowed or authorized to do.  She did nothing to represent or protect my Mother.  My Mother had previously consented to record the meeting.  You can hear for yourself what Ms. Martone allowed!

Renee Vidal from Flaster Greenberg in Cherry Hill, NJ.  Has received $8,500.00 to not pursue the only defense that should be raised.  The plaintiff has no standing whatsoever!  Ms. Vidal insisted that things that are not legal and things that were not ordered in court should be in a court order.  Ms. Vidal has absolutely no integrity or ethics at all!

Deborah J. Merriam from Moorestown, NJ.  The illegally appointed guardian ad litem.  Listen to the recording and then read her report.  Knowing that the meeting with my Mother was recorded Merriam flagrantly lied in the report. 

Robert Del Sorto from Runnemede, NJ.  Was not involved in this case but was retained in February to evict the drug dealing plaintiff and a squatter from her home.  Mr. Del Sorto never evicted.  At the same time that Del Sorto was not proceeding with the evictions so that my Mother could return to her home the court claimed that I kidnapped my Mother and was holding her hostage. 

The plaintiffs attorney: Roger Barbour from Barbour & Barbour in Maple Shade, NJ.  No knowledgeable attorney would have even filed this case!  My Opinion: The only reason any attorney would file such a baseless, frivolous case that is obviously without merit for a plaintiff with no standing is that they are involved with corruption in the NJ Court system.  An ethical attorney with the slightest amount of integrity would never have filed such a suit as they would have known that the plaintiff has no standing and would not have taken their money to file a case that would not be heard in a real court.  After proving approximately 90 outright lies in Barbour's Motion for Leave of Court To File an Amended Complaint Mr. Barbour submitted an amended complaint that contained most of the same lies.  The same lies that were already proven as lies.  The 90 or so lies submitted in sworn affidavits were mostly proven as lies in the exhibits submitted by Barbour.  Does it sound to you that he was making it perfectly clear that the case is all about corruption, a text book example of a kangaroo court, that he felt confident that he could submit an amended complaint containing the same lies that were already proven to be lies?  Not to mention, all of the attorneys above willing participated in this travesty of justice!

Open Letter to Governor Christie

Governor Christie,

I have written to you and Paula T. Dow on numerous occasions in the past year for help with what I perceive as a flagrantly corrupt Judge in Burlington County Superior Court, Judge M. J. Hogan.  To date you and the Attorney General have done nothing to investigate and put an end to the abuse being handed down by Judge Hogan.  Abuse that is causing a third party my 82 year old handicapped Mother physical, mental, emotional and financial harm!  Are Judges in New Jersey not bound by the Code of Judicial Conduct?  Does anyone enforce the Code of Judicial Conduct?  Do we have a right to a fair trial?  A jury? A right to an impartial Judge?  A right to know what statutes gives standing?

All of the attorneys turn a blind eye as if everything is as it should be when the fact is that there is not one instance where Judge Hogan has ruled according to the law and the rules of court.  In a year not one of the multiple attorneys have done what they were retained to do but they do take my Mothers money to go along with Judge Hogan! 

My Father was a Honorably Discharged Veteran of WWII.  He risked his life for this Country and you are allowing his wife, my Mother, to be abused by what I perceive as a flagrantly corrupt Judge and the attorneys who not only allow him to do as he pleases, they claim that he has done no wrong.

These are two of numerous letters sent to you and Paula Dow.  They were printed from these files:

March 30, 2011 - April 11, 2011

I also carbon copied numerous court filing to both you and Paula Dow.  It didn't stop Judge Hogan from ignoring the law, the rules of court and a persons Civil and Constitutional Rights.  Some examples of documents copied to you and Paula Dow:

April 18, 2011 - May 16, 2011 - May 25, 2011

My answer to the motion for leave of court to file an amended complaint.  Clearly Judge Hogan has no regard for the law as he granted the motion in spite of the fact that Mr. Barbour did not include a required copy of the amended complaint, the fact that I proved approximately 90 outright lies in the sworn affidavits included with the motion papers and the fact that the motion did not contain proof or even evidence of any of the claims.  My answer also, yet again, quoted statutes showing that the plaintiff had no standing whatsoever!  Judge Hogan ruled in favor of an amended complaint that he never laid his eyes on. 

Judge Hogan's rulings were even more corrupt after he was informed that I had contacted you and the Attorney General.  Is it that Judge Hogan and the attorneys have absolutely no respect for you?  No fear of you?  Is it because you gave them a green light to use the court to abuse us and an 82 year old handicapped woman who is not a party to the suit?  Something else?  Are you going to continue to let them all ignore the law and our Constitutional and Civil Rights? 

To date this case has been ongoing for a year in spite of the fact that the plaintiff has no and never has had any standing whatsoever as he filed on behalf of a third party who is mentally capable and not a party to the suit. 

Each time I have been before Judge Hogan the court room is empty.  Usually we are the last case to be heard.  Why?  Just a coincidence?  No statute has been quoted in the complaint and no less than 20 requests to quote a statute showing that the plaintiff has standing have been ignored.  It's been a year and I don't have a clue what Statutes Judge Hogan is ruling on. 

My Mother, the third party, has also submitted a sworn affidavit (Page 1 - Page 2) that the claims made by the plaintiff are false yet her sworn affidavit is ignored and the case continues.  The plaintiff is acting on behalf of my Mother who is not a party to the case.  Thousands of dollars of my mothers limited assets have been taken by attorneys after her sworn affidavit was ignored.  That's the way it works in New Jersey? 

Does it make sense to you that the plaintiff is being heard on behalf of my Mother in spite of the fact that my Mother submitted a sworn affidavit that his claims are not truthful? 

A few of numerous examples of the flagrant corruption, disregard for the law and rules of court in this case would include:

Judge Hogan adjourned an un-contested motion to dismiss that surely should have been granted as it was based on fact and the law.  Judge Hogan then ignored the Motion to Dismiss as he never ruled on the uncontested Motion.  I was represented by Thomas Begley 3 from Begley Law Group in Moorestown, NJ.  Read the documentation, correspondence, audio files and emails and tell me that Mr. Begley gave proper representation and complied with the representation agreement!

Judge Hogan then held a hearing in an empty court room without the jury that was demanded and that we were entitled too under the law.  Judge Hogan found in favor of the plaintiff in spite of the fact that the plaintiff did not have one shred of proof or even evidence of any of his claims.  In spite of the fact that we proved numerous outright lies including the fact that the plaintiff claimed to be a Co-Trustee when he knew and it was proven that he was never a Co-Trustee.  In spite of the fact that the plaintiff had and still has no standing to act on behalf of a third party.  A third party who submitted a sworn affidavit that the plaintiffs claims are not truthful. 

The third party, my Mother, at different times, hired two attorneys Mr. David Cuneo and Mr. Del Sorto.  My Mother told both to evict the plaintiff and a squatter from her home so that she could return to her home.  The first eviction request to Mr. Del Sorto was made in February.  To date my Mother is still not in her home as neither Mr. Del Sorto nor Mr. Cuneo proceeded with an eviction.  Mr. Cuneo heard himself telling my Mother that he would evict in a recording, he was sent a hand written letter by my Mother to evict, numerous emails to evict and never even attempted to evict.  Mr. Cuneo did send numerous letters and emails claiming that my Mother did not say to evict in spite of hearing himself say that he would evict.  All of the documentation will be provided.  Is it obvious to you that someone is telling the attorneys to not evict? Would that be collusion?  Conspiracy?  Both took Moms money, neither proceeded with the evictions.  My Mother will not spend any more of her limited assets to evict as it is apparent that someone is telling the attorneys to not evict.  Read the correspondence, emails and listen to the audio files pertaining to Mr. Cuneo.  Could it be more clear that someone is stopping him from doing what he was told and being paid to do?

I would assume that you are aware that guardians are appointed for mentally incapacitated adults.  Judge Hogan appointed a guardian ad litem for my Mother in spite of the fact that no one filed a petition as required by R 4:86.  Nothing that is required by R 4:86 was done to appoint the guardian ad litem.  Counsel was not appointed to represent my alleged mentally incapacitated Mother, only a guardian ad litem.   Judge Hogan ordered the guardian ad litem in spite of the fact that my Mother, a third party had passed the second of two mental exams two days prior to Judge Hogan appointing the guardian.  The guardian was appointed in the order to a motion for leave of court to file an amended complaint that made no claims about my Mothers mental status.  I can not imagine that anyone, let alone an 82 year old handicapped woman, would not be stressed out if they were put in such a position.  To have their right to make their own decisions taken away from them.  How would you feel if a Judge totally ignored the required legal process and found that you needed a guardian?  Is that the way it works in NJ?  A Judge can mentally abuse an 82 year old physically handicapped wife of a deceased Veteran of WWII?  A Judge can with the swipe of a pen make a mentally competent person mentally incapacitated?  A judge can ignore the required legal process, abuse and harm an 82 year old woman who is not a party to the case?  In a case where the plaintiff has no standing whatsoever?  A Judge who signs an order implying that he will decide where and with whom my Mother shall live?

Judge Hogan ruled in favor of the amended complaint without ever seeing the amended complaint.  The amended complaint is required by the rules of court to be submitted with the motion but was not.  The amended complaint was not submitted at the hearing.  It took me over two months to get a copy of the amended complaint as numerous certified letters to Judge Hogan and all of the parties ignored my request for a copy.  Is that the way it works in New Jersey?  A party to a case can not get a copy of a complaint that must be answered?  I'm supposed to defend myself without a copy of the complaint?  Is it OK with you that a citizen of New Jersey can be treated in such a manner by a Superior Court Judge?  Is it ok that the attorneys go along with such conduct while defrauding my Mother out of her limited assets?

The Judge rules in Court and tells the plaintiffs attorney Roger Barbour of Barbour & Barbour in Maple Shade, NJ to submit the order.  Mr. Barbour submits an order contrary to what was ordered.  Mr. Barbour submits an order that reflects what he wants ordered, not what was ordered in court and Judge Hogan signs the order.  The rules of court specify that a court order reflect and memorialize what was actually ordered not what a party wants the order to say after the hearing.  Is this ok with you?  Is New Jersey part of the United States where people are supposed to be protected by the law?  Do you know of any other Judges in the State that let attorneys overrule their in court orders without a hearing?

Judge Hogan then thru a second party (Mr. Barbour) sent Adult Protective Services to speak to my Mother.  Adult Protective Services found no wrongdoing, no kidnapping, no hostage holding, no abuse and that my Mother was well cared for.  Just like every example or fact favoring the defendants it is ignored by Judge Hogan. 

The only people abusing my Mother are Judge Hogan and the attorneys who turn a blind eye to all of the wrongdoing.  The only people stealing from my Mother are the attorneys who take retainers from her, do not do what they are retained to do and ignore their ethical duty to provide proper representation!  The attorneys who dip into their retainers while allowing Judge Hogan to do as he pleases no matter how flagrantly he ignores the law and the rules of court.  The attorneys who ignore the obvious violations of a persons Civil Rights, Constitutional Rights and the law to play along in a text book example of a kangaroo court. 

In early April Judge Hogan ordered that the guardian ad litem Ms. Deborah J. Merriam of Moorestown, NJ be appointed.  As I previously stated Judge Hogan did not appoint Counsel to represent my Mother, only Ms. Merriam.

Mr Barbour's Order

 again did not reflect what was ordered in court.  Ms. Merriam did not attempt to speak with my Mother until May 17, 2011, one day before she was to submit her report and one day prior to another case management conference.  My Mother was tortured and tormented, living in fear while Ms. Merriam drug her heels to see my Mother.  Actually it was Ms. Vidal, the attorney for my Mothers Trustee who showed up on May 17, 2011 to see my Mother.  Vidal was going to do Merriam's job for her since she was in town.  Sound right to you?  That counsel for a defendant shows up to do the duty of a guardian ad litem?  I'm sure I can get the security video from the 17th showing Ms. Vidal in the lobby waiting for my Mother to return.  If you downloaded the files you can hear Ms. Merriam's message confirming that Ms. Vidal was here.

Then at the May 18 case management conference Judge Hogan ordered that Ms. Merriam the illegally appointed guardian ad litem was to speak to my Mother to find if she was taken against her will and being held hostage. (kidnapped)  In civil court?  Really?  Kidnapping issues get decided in civil court?  After sending Adult Protective Services for the same reason and knowing that there was no wrongdoing? Knowing that my Mother was not kidnapped and being held hostage?  Months after the supposed kidnapping?  Months after my Mother was in court with me in January?  The kidnapping claim was made in early January.  Within two weeks of the claim of kidnapping my Mother was in Court with me and months later Judge Hogan orders in court that the guardian is to visit with my Mother to find if she was kidnapped and being held hostage?  It was claimed in January that I took my Mother against her will and in May Judge Hogan orders an illegally appointed guardian to find out if my Mother was kidnapped?  In spite of the fact that the plaintiffs own exhibits had already shown that my Mother came of her own free will?  Holding her hostage when in fact two Attorneys took my Mothers money to evict and never attempted to evict freeloaders and squatters from her home so she could go home.  The first took her money in February.  Neither proceeded with the evictions but a claim of hostage holding is made against me in May?  Mom would be home if either Mr. Del Sorto or Mr. Cuneo evicted as they were told to do but instead I am accused of holding my Mother hostage.  As a matter of fact, Mr. Cuneo was representing my Mother at the time I was accused of holding her hostage.  In spite of the fact that the conversation with Mr. Cuneo about the evictions was recorded, Mr. Cuneo repeatedly refused to admit that my Mother told him to evict.  I was being accused of holding my Mother Hostage while my Mothers attorney continually lied that she said they could stay.  ONLY IN NEW JERSEY!

Of course Mr. Barbour's order did not reflect what was ordered in court.  A guardian gives an opinion where and with whom my Mother should live?  Really?  Do you think that would upset any Senior Citizen?  That she may be told where and with whom she will live?  As if she does not have the freedom to decide for herself where and with whom she shall live?  Is it even possible in the USA?  The Judge who ignored two mental exams given by two different Doctors at two different respected Medical facilities wants an illegally appointed guardian ad litem to do her own version of a mental exam?  Judge Hogan appoints a guardian while in possession of two mental exams taken by my Mother within a year?  Is that the way it works in New Jersey?  Ignore mental exams given by respected Doctors from respected Medical Facilities and order a non-qualified, non-authorized illegally appointed guardian who accepts the guardianship knowing that she was not appointed according to the law, who knows what she is allowed to do and knowingly and willfully does what she knows she is not allowed to do, perform her own version of a mental exam?  Really?

It is not a guardians duty to give their own version of a mental exam or to give an opinion of a persons mental status.  Guardians are appointed for those who are mentally incapacitated not those who easily passed a mental exam two days prior to the appointing of the guardian.  How can a Judge just ignore two mental exams and the required legal process to appoint a guardian ad litem?  It's ok with you?  Is it a violation of a persons Civil and Constitutional Rights?  Judge Hogan took the word of the plaintiffs lawyer that my Mother was suffering from advanced dementia in spite of the fact that I had proven approximately 90 lies in the plaintiffs motion.  Most of the lies were proven in the plaintiffs own exhibits.

The stress and anxiety caused by the illegal appointing of a guardian caused my Mother, an 82 year old physically handicapped woman, such stress and anxiety that she was continually vomiting to the point that she called 911 numerous times.  She sat up in fear staring at the door each time someone knocked on the door.  She was prescribed two stress and anxiety medications as her vomiting was caused by the stress and anxiety of Judge Hogan's illegal ruling appointing the guardian.  My Mother was and is still living in fear due to Judge Hogan and the attorneys who are acting in the best interests of the opposing party and a Judge who ignores the law.  Is it ok that a Judge do this to an 82 year old handicapped woman or to anyone for that matter?  To completely ignore the law and the required legal process to appoint a guardian for someone who is not mentally incapacitated?  Is it ok with you?  Is this how seniors are treated in New Jersey?

It is clear and apparent that the guardian was appointed to gather out of court testimony from the my Mother, the third party, to help the plaintiff as the plaintiff has not submitted and does not have any proof or even evidence of any of his claims.  The plaintiff has been proven to be a pathological liar in that approximately 90 statements made in sworn affidavits submitted to the court in his Motion For Leave Of Court To File An Amended Complaint were proven as lies in My Answer.  Most of the plaintiffs lies were proven in the plaintiffs own exhibits!  The plaintiffs exhibits submitted with the motion proved his own lies and the Judge still ruled in their favor.  When I finally received a copy of the amended complaint it contained many of the same lies that were already proven as lies.  Make sense to you?  To submit a complaint with outright lies that have already been proven to be outright lies?

My Mother hired and retained David K. Cuneo of Collingswood, NJ to dispute the illegal appointing of the Guardian.  Mr. Cuneo was referred by my Mothers Doctors son.  When Mr. Cuneo was told the facts about what was happening in the case he would not believe what was happening as he continually said, they can't do that, are you sure, you must be mistaken.  Mr. Cuneo wanted proof of the claims as he did not believe what was happening.  Proof was provided.  Mr. Cuneo was given a $5,000.00 retainer and then he "did that" right along with the others.  He went from "they can't do that" to doing the same right along with the others.  Mr. Cuneo used up the entire $5,000.00 retainer without even attempting to do as he was retained to do, have the illegally appointed guardian removed.  Mr. Cuneo quit after using up the retainer.  Is this ok with you?  Is it criminal fraud to take someone's money and not do what you are hired to do?  Will you do anything about it or will you allow a NJ attorney to defraud a senior citizen?  There must be a reason why Mr. Cuneo did not even attempt to do what he was retained to do.  Is it collusion?  Conspiracy?

Ms. Merriam, the illegally appointed guardian ad litem, was informed in certified mailings prior to meeting with my Mother that she was illegally appointed as she was appointed with total disregard of the law, process and rules of court.  Ms. Merriam was provided copies of court filings and copies of the two mental exams showing that my Mother scored 30 out of 30 on the first and 29 out of 30 on the second mental exam.  Ms. Merriam was aware that my Mother had passed two mental exams within a year with the most recent being taken two days prior to her being appointed as the guardian.  That didn't stop Ms. Merriam from accepting the appointment without bond and doing as Mr. Barbour ordered in his bogus order.  Ms. Merriam willingly and knowingly met with my Mother, did her own version of a mental exam, questioned my Mother as if she was on the witness stand trying to gather out of court testimony to help the plaintiff.  In the recording Ms. Merriam stated numerous times that she was acting on Judge Hogan's instructions as she asked leading questions, made statements that ended in "Right" and did her best to lead my Mother to say what she wanted my Mother to say.  Ms. Merriam questioned my Mother on practically every issue in the complaint.  My Mother was also questioned on numerous issues not in the complaint.  Ms. Merriam was doing her best to obtain anything that could be used against the plaintiffs.  This was all done in the presence of Kelli Martone who was present to represent and protect my Mother.  Ms. Martone sat on her rump and allowed Ms. Merriam to do as she pleased and did nothing to represent or protect my Mother.   My Mothers answers verified yet again that the plaintiff lied about everything in the complaint.  Ms. Merriam then submitted a verifiably bogus report to the Court about a month before Judge Hogan signed the order stating that she was to submit a report.  Verifiably bogus as the conversation was recorded with my Mothers written consent.  My Mother was scared to death that she may be told where and with whom she would live and wanted the conversation recorded to protect herself.  Clearly if the guardian was going to give an honest opinion of where and with whom my Mother should live instead of doing as Mr. Barbour ordered her to do in his bogus order she would have asked my Mother if the plaintiff locked her in her home.  She would have asked if the plaintiff has my Mothers house phone bugged.  Audio/video cameras all over the house.  She would have asked if the plaintiff dealt drugs from her home.  The guardian ad litem would have asked a lot of questions on issues I informed the court about.  The guardian ad litem asked none of those questions she only asked questions that involved myself and the co-defendant.  When/if you hear the recording it will become quite clear that Ms. Merriam was told by Judge Hogan to get information to use against the defendants!  The voicemail left by Ms. Merriam is included in the files I provided on top of this page.  Listen to Ms. Merriam's message telling me what she is "Allowed" to do. She knew what she was "allowed" to do and then came and did everything that she knew she was not allowed to do and did it in the presence of Kelli Martone who did nothing to protect or represent my Mother.

Kelli Martone who works with Mr. Cuneo was present to represent my Mother when Ms. Merriam spoke to my Mother.  Kelli Martone was aware that Judge Hogan ordered that Ms. Merriam was to find if my Mother was kidnapped and being held hostage yet Ms. Martone did nothing to represent my Mother as she allowed Ms. Merriam to ask any and all questions, to question my Mother on issues in the complaint and to do her own version of a mental exam.  Ms. Martone allowed Ms. Merriam to ask leading questions and make statements ending with "Right."  Ms. Martone allowed Ms. Merriam to question my Mother about numerous issues raised in the complaint.  My Mother did remarkably well being that she was on her two prescribed stress and anxiety medications (alprazolam(generis Xanax) & hydroxyzine) when questioned by Ms. Merriam.  Merriam then submitted a verifiably bogus report that says nothing about kidnapping or hostage holding even though that is what was ordered in court.  Is this ok with you?  Is it ok for illegally appointed guardian ad litem's to knowingly do what they are not authorized, qualified or even "Allowed" to do on a senior citizen knowing that she was appointed as a guardian ad litem with total disregard of the law and process?  Does it sound as if there is collusion going on?

FBI Color Of Law

Federal Conspiracy Against Rights

Within hours of receiving my email about the Federal criminal violations all of the parties participated in an ex parte phone conference.  Mr. Cuneo, Ms. Merriam, Ms. Vidal, Mr. Barbour and Judge Hogan all participated in the phone conference.  I am a defendant representing myself but I was not invited to participate in the phone conference.  There was no prior written notice.  I never received an order memorializing what was ordered if anything in the phone conference.  Is this the way it is in NJ?  This is allowed?  It is not a flagrant violation of our rights?

My Mother has a trustee who also has power of attorney.  The Trustee (she) was named as a co-defendant in the order to the Motion For Leave Of Court To File An Amended Complaint in spite of the fact that nowhere in the motion did the plaintiff ask that she be added as a defendant.  No where in the motion did it state why the plaintiff wanted to amend the complaint.  She was made a co-defendant in yet another order submitted by Mr. Barbour.  It's ok with you?  Is that the way it works in New Jersey?

At my Mothers expense Ms. Renee Vidal of Flaster Greenberg in Cherry Hill was retained to represent her Trustee the co-defendant. Co-defendant?  How can we be co-defendants when there are different claims against each of us in the amended complaint?  In any event I have informed Ms. Vidal (Judge Hogan & all parties) numerous times that the plaintiff has no standing whatsoever as he has filed suit claiming wrongdoing against a mentally competent third party, my Mother, who is not a party to the suit.  I have sent them all copies of my Mothers sworn affidavit multiple times and my Mothers two mental exams multiple times.  Ms. Vidal has used up most of the $8,500.00 she has received without ever raising the issue that the plaintiff has no standing.  It is the main issue that should be raised and would be raised if we were not in a kangaroo court.  Ms. Vidal did go along with the guardian and everything the guardian did in spite of knowing that the guardian was appointed with total disregard of the law and process.  Ms. Vidal did numerous times insist that the guardian do more than what was actually ordered in court.  Knowing the Ms. Merriam was appointed with total disregard of the law, knowing that my Mother passed two mental exams, knowing that my Mother had submitted a sworn affidavit Ms. Vidal dipped into her retainer to insist multiple times that orders include things that should not be in the order such as that the guardian should continue to monitor my Mother mental health, give an opinion of my Mothers mental health and other things that guardian ad litems are not authorized or allowed to do.  Ms. Vidal did dip into her retainer to do and submit an accounting to the plaintiffs attorney in spite of the fact that the plaintiff is not entitled to an accounting.  The accounting was submitted and shows no wrong doing.  My Mother had no funds stolen.  Is that the way it works in New Jersey while you are the Captain of the Ship?  Is that ok with you?

Ms. Vidal is currently insisting that the Trustee place my Mothers assets where Ms. Vidal wants the trustee to place my Mothers assets.  Sound right to you?  That Ms. Vidal is trying to dictate to a Trustee where the third party my Mother keep her assets?  That Ms. Vidal wants to dictate and control my Mother thru her Trustee?  Does it appear that Ms. Vidal is turning a blind eye while dipping into the retainer provided by my Mother?  Is this how it works in NJ?  Is it ok for Ms. Vidal to dip into the retainer and never raise the obvious issue of standing?  Is that proper representation?  Or is it fraud?  Collusion?  Conspiracy?  The main issue that would be raised by someone actually giving proper representation would be that the plaintiff has no standing!  The email from Vidal at the bottom of this page is Ms. Vidal's reply to my email.  My email stated that I would not submit a press release directing people to this page if she provided a statute showing that the plaintiff has standing.  As you can see Ms. Vidal did not provide a statute, she replied with a threat! 

At the last case management conference Judge Hogan ruled that the guardian be dismissed, that Mr. Cuneo be dismissed, that the guardian submit a brief report and that an accounting of my Mothers trust accounts be provided.  Ms. Vidal for some odd reason submitted TWO ORDERS to the court.  One order to provide an accounting of the my Mothers trust accounts to the plaintiffs attorney and a second order that the guardian be dismissed and submit a report and that Mr. Cuneo be dismissed.  Judge Hogan signed one of the two orders.  The order to provide the accounting was signed, the second order dismissing the guardian was not signed.  The guardian, Ms. Merriam, submitted a verifiably bogus report without a signed order that made my Mother sound as if she was 99 cents short of a dollar.  It took about a month and a half for the second order to be signed by Judge Hogan.  The first order was stamped by the Surrogate as a true copy, the second order when signed by Judge Hogan was not stamped as a true copy by the Surrogate. 

For some odd reason there was yet another court order signed by Judge Hogan on a Sunday dismissing Mr. Cuneo that was signed prior to signing the second order that had already dismissed Mr. Cuneo.  I can only assume that Judge Hogan heard a Motion submitted by Mr. Cuneo to be dismissed as counsel for my Mother in spite of the fact that he was already dismissed a month and a half earlier at the case management conference.  Neither myself or my Mother was notified of the motion hearing and can only assume it was held so that Mr. Cuneo could put bogus information on the record.  An investigation should be able to get to the bottom of yet another irregularity in the proceedings.  It is so obvious that the actions taken are planned in advance.  That Judge Hogan and the attorneys plan their actions in advance.

The information above is just a BRIEF history of what has happened in this case.  There is so much more but I do not feel a need to tell you more at this time.  What I have told you should be enough to initiate an investigation that you should have initiated long ago when I first wrote to you. 

This case is a text book example of a kangaroo court!  This case is causing my Mothers health to deteriorate.  This case has depleted my Mothers limited assets.  The attorneys have taken my Mothers retainers to participate in the kangaroo court.  My opinion is that all have conspired with, colluded with and knowingly and willingly participated in the gross injustice by turning a blind eye to the facts and the law.  The plaintiff has no standing whatsoever!  The plaintiff has never had standing!

New Jersey is part of the United States!  The United States where people should not have to fear rouge judges who ignore the law, ignore the rules of court and use their position to harass, harm and intimidate innocent people and third persons who are not parties to the case! 

Had you done something when I first contacted you and Paula Dow the NJ Attorney General my Mother, the third party, would not have suffered physically, emotionally, mentally or financially as she has.  You could have sent a message to the courts that NJ residents have Constitutional and Civil Rights and protections!  That New Jersey is part of the United States of America and that Americans have Constitutional and Civil Rights.  That you will no longer stand for the flagrant corruption in NJ courts!  Your claims that you want to change NJ sound more like typical political hot air as your lack of action in this matter show no intention to rid NJ of corruption! 

After reading all of the emails, correspondence, court filings and hearing the recordings it becomes hard to think that the attorneys have not conspired and colluded with Judge Hogan in his kangaroo court.  Are you going to do anything about Judge Hogan, the Burlington County Surrogate and the attorneys who are all aware of the facts and wrongdoings and willingly and knowing participate by ignoring the flagrant violations of the law, the flagrant violations of the rules of court and the flagrant violations of a persons Constitutional and Civil rights?  Are you going to allow the attorneys to continue to dip into the retainers supplied by my Mother who is not a party to the suit, who's sworn affidavit is being ignored and who is the person suffering physically, emotionally and financially in Judge Hogan's kangaroo court? 

I have all of the documents and email correspondence.  Most of the emails can be downloaded HERE.  The emails should be enough to disgust anyone who believes in a persons Constitutional and Civil Rights.  Read the emails and see if you feel that the attorneys are in collusion with and conspiring with the plaintiff and Judge Hogan.  All of the documents will be provided when/if an investigation is initiated. 

My  emails go thru a third party website that verifies sending, delivery, records the content, shows how many times the emails are read, for how long they are read and if and to whom they are forwarded.  Strange that some of my emails were read 50 or more times up until I informed the parties of the tracking service.  Now it is common for the lawyers to not open my emails!  Tell you anything?  Maybe they don't want verification that copies of my Mothers mental exams were sent to them yet again?  Maybe they don't verification that they have received copies of sworn affidavits, or me asking yet again for a statute that gives the plaintiff standing?  Does it tell you that they know what they are willfully participating in is wrong?  That they do not want me to have any more verification of their wrong goings?  In my emails and documents you can read just how many times I have asked for a Statute that gives the plaintiff standing.  I never received a reply because they all know that the plaintiff has no standing!  You can read just how many times I gave all parties the opportunity to just put an end to their criminal activity.  Obviously they have not put an end to their criminal activity as the case continues to proceed.  They certainly do not have any fear of you and feel that they will pay no consequences for their actions.  Is that because you gave them the green light to abuse us as if we lived in Iran?

I can no longer watch my Mother, the third party, suffer due what I perceive as criminal actions by Judge Hogan and the attorneys who allow it to happen as they willingly and knowing participate in what they know is wrong.  Willful violations of an Americans Civil and Constitutional Rights!

My Mother lost her husband, my Father, in May of 2010.  On top of that she has had to live with the stress and anxiety of this case since October 2010.  The non stop never ending stress caused by this case that has been ongoing for a year in spite of the fact that the plaintiff has no standing whatsoever has caused her great harm physically, mentally, emotionally and financially.  She can suffer no more!  I get to see the crying, vomiting, stress and anxiety this case has caused her.  She is deteriorating before my eyes!  Something has to be done to put an end to a case that should have never been heard before it kills my Mother!  My Mother should be able to live out her life in peace! 

The Judicial review committee in New Jersey has already decided that Judge Hogan did no wrong in spite of receiving most of the information I provided above.  I certainly would not trust in or have any faith in an investigation being conducted by anyone on the States payroll.  New Jersey remains more like an organized crime family than a State Government.  Will you demand a Federal investigation due to the fact that what has gone on in this case is certainly a violation of Federal Title 18 U.S.C. Section 241 Conspiracy Against Rights and Title 18 U.S.C. Section 242 Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law?  Will you make an example of Judge Hogan and the attorneys to send a message to the courts and attorneys that corruption will no longer be tolerated?

 The Open Letter is to Governor Christie.  It is not  "intended to impugn integrity of the counsel and the court and cause damage to their reputation business"   Had the Governor or the Attorney General Paula Dow cared enough about the Constitutional and Civil Rights of New Jersey residents to do something about what has been going on in this case there would be no need for an open letter. 

I gave yet the attorneys yet another chance to just quote a Statute that gives the plaintiff standing.  Provide a Statute and I will not send out the press release.  Below is Ms. Vidal's reply to my email.  Ms. Vidal who is representing my co-defendant and being paid by my Mother did not provide a Statute instead she claims that the above letter is not truthful and she threatens me.  The information is in fact the truth and I have provided enough documentation to prove that it is the truth.  Ms. Vidal could have just quoted a Statute! 

Ms. Vidal seems to think that it is ok for them to harm my Mother but it is not ok for their reputations to suffer because of it?  Can you imagine that Ms. Vidal thinks it is ok to willingly participate in what has been happening in this case and to my Mother but is afraid that reputations will be harmed by my telling the public what she has willingly participated in?  Maybe there is something wrong with my thinking that if you do the crime you do the time?

At this point I will remove this page when any of the attorneys involved in this case QUOTES A STATUTE THAT GIVES THE PLAINTIFF STANDING!  IF THEY HAVE DONE NO WRONG AND SUCH A STATUTE EXISTS THEY SHOULD QUOTE THE STATUTE! 

I won't hold my breathe waiting for a statute!  Ms. Vidal obviously knows that in New Jersey she could file suit against me for blowing up the Eiffel Tower and even though they do not own the Eiffel Tower and the Eiffel Tower hasn't been blown up they will be heard in the New Jersey court system!

 

 

Mr. Marchesani,

 

I am in receipt of your e-mail yesterday threatening to post false and misleading statements which are libelous and defamatory statements on the internet about the parties, counsel and the judge in this matter. Your characterization of the events throughout this litigation and the conduct of the parties in this case is untrue and disparaging.  Statements in your “open letter to Governor Christie” include statements that among other things, “attorneys have conspired and colluded with Judge Hogan” and numerous other mischaracterizations of that are intended to impugn integrity of the counsel and the court and cause damage to their reputation business.

We advise you that you not post this letter or any links to it anywhere on the internet as you have threatened to do and if you have already done so that you immediately remove these false and misleading statements and cease publishing any false, misleading or disparaging statements about all counsel and the court. 

We hope you appreciate the spirit in which this letter is written and that this matter can be resolved amicably.  Please be assured, however, that if you do not agree promptly to take the actions requested above, we will have no choice but to take such further action as is necessary to protect the reputation of the attorneys at this firm and our business.

This letter is, of course, without prejudice to any action that may be necessary to protect and enforce legal rights in the future.

 Regards,

 

Renee C. Vidal
