Court Administrator/s and Defendants counsel
Plaintiff objects to the conference held on December 14, 2009 between Defendants and Court Administrator on the following basis:
1.Plaintiff was not informed of said conference taking place by any of the Defendants or the Court Administrator;
Plaintiff insists upon being provided the Court Rules under which this Conference took place without notification of Plaintiff and without Plaintiff’s presence.
Plaintiff is in the process of securing an attorney, Darrell Carter.
Plaintiff objects to any conferences or proceedings taking place by telephone because this hinders the ability of Plaintiff to respond and participate fully because Plaintiff has limited education and is lacking adequate communication skills; Plaintiff is not an attorney.
Justice requires a full and impartial hearing on the merits of this case which are based upon the historical roots of racism which has led to the present institutionalized racism which is responsible for unemployment and the resulting poverty.
Plaintiffs, the City of Bemidji, Kraus Andersen and DEED are, are fully aware of their obligations to enforce affirmative action in hiring--- and did, with a malicious racist intent--- deny employment to Native Americans on the construction of the Bemidji Regional Event Center.
Now, complicating an already unjust situation which Plaintiffs created, the same repugnant, institutionalized racism is undermining Plaintiff’s ability to right this injustice.
Plaintiff is entitled to his “day in Court,” free from this kind of racist denial of basic justice which most people take for granted as their right to due process protected by the United States Constitution and its Bill of Rights and Treaties between the United States government and Indian people.
A seemingly rather progromonius relationship exists between The 9th District Court Administration and Defendants in this matter.
And on several occasions, first represented by a letter addressed to myself, dated 12-2-2009 by James J Thomson/Kennedy & Graven, attorney of City of Bemidji , referencing a letter to city council for a meeting to discuss with other coalition groups the review of what actually is the Affirmative action policy representation on the BREC . Mr. Thomson states" Because this issue is subject to a pending lawsuit ,it would not be appropriate for the Mayor and City Council to meet with you at this time" and "In an effort to resolve the lawsuit as quickly as possible ,I want to advise you that we have scheduled a court hearing for 2:30 p.m. on January 13, 2010 at which time we will be bringing a motion for summary judgment on behalf of the City. You will receive our motion papers no later than 28 days before that date."
Evidenced by notification of a hearing date of January 13,2010,2:30 pm by 9th Judicial District Court where i am expected to appear fully prepared, at this hearing , initiated by Kennedy & Gravens James J Thomson Jr on behalf of City of Bemidji,Mn .This being issued on December 8th ,2009 by 9th Judicial court Cynthia S Ebbighausen clerk of court.
Now i receive a letter dated December 14th not even a week from last directive by Court by David Camarotto/ Bassford Remele representing Kraus -Anderson, informing me a conference call with "Court Administration" initiated by counsel for defendants on 12-14-2009 by Nathan Hartshorn, Jim Thomson,and David Camarotto collectively (without Greg Paquin) requested on behalf of all Defendants that the Summary judgment Motion "hearing" scheduled for January 13,2010 be continued to a later date of which NOW the Court provided an amended date of February 22,2010at 2:30 p.m.for Defendants dispositive motions to be heard in this matter .
Also in addition the Court agreed for myself that all parties may appear via telephone for the January 13th 2010 ( Now Called) " Scheduling conference" by the Court. Where it was a originally designed to be a hearing scheduled to hear these dis-positive motions and acceptance as such by Court due to timeliness of notification by Court, All initiated by Mr. . James J Thomson.
Item of Note, that when court acquiesced to Mr. Thomsons request for hearing date to hear these dis-positive motions performed a seemingly innocuous function by stating this was a "scheduling" Conference yet knowing full well it was a attempt by the City of Bemidji representation to Exempt itself from this Discrimination case and in light of all this communication between Court and Counsel of Defendants leads me to believe this Court is attempting to participate in just such an insidious manner by misrepresenting what this so called, by Court ,"scheduling conference" was all about .
According to the rules of Court I read I have 60 days to file an informational statement and at that time these conferences and hearings would be issued by the Court Administration and a Assignment to a Judge. A Much Faster track is evidenced here to deny hearing the full merits of this case,
When i had earlier requested Informa Pauperis Status with this 9th District court, in regard to this case, the Court would not discuss with me any parameters of the reasons and causes i was requesting such benefaction for this Organization and person in charge of its mission ,myself Gregory W Paquin .Either Ms Ebbighausen is now doing a lot of Deciding and juggling of these change of venue dates and names attached to them by herself whence previously she told me she could not comment or even let me talk to the Judge signing Informa Pauperis order Denying me an official filed request to review the criteria I needed to present to allow the Judge a full understanding of the factors I wanted heard. while i watch her now bend over backwards to assist Defendants .The rules are being applied in unfair and uneven process. I see the Collusive representation of Institutional Racism and how it is being depended upon by these Attorneys for Defendants. Some Nice Ethics!
Plaintiff is requesting of this Court that all decisions made during this “Conference” be immediately terminated and a new Conference scheduled on these issues with Plaintiff included.
Plaintiff notes that Defendants’ attorneys are engaged in racist maneuvers seeking to obscure the basic issues of this case.
