third-party intervenor’s motion and response to Brian L Hoffman esquires opposition oh Paul Monger to motion of George a McDermott's emergency stay of eviction

to the Hon. Hon. Wendlin L. Lipp under rule 8011 (a)

Comes now George McDermott third-party intervenor, as added and recognized by the United States District Court as of April 13th 2011 case # 8:11-cv-00949-RTW in response to movements attorney Brian L Huffman Esq’s, opposition of Paul Monger to motion of George E McDermott's motion for stay of eviction. Hon. 8011 (a).[1] as opposition is factually incorrect and not in conformity with the high standards required under this court rule 11 Hoffman has stated 3 arguments which he knows or frivolous and or baseless trying to deceive this court through trickery and deceit to further harm the debtor in this action. And unjustly enrich his client at the cost of bringing dishonor upon this court with false pleadings as movement and his attorney have done so many times in the past. Relying on the courts overburdened schedule. And disdain for citizens to come before this court under 28 USC 1654 asserting their constitutional rights.

1. Movements counsel in his opposition of April 14, 2011 states and I quote ("Mr. McDermott is not a party hereto, and has not moved for or been given permission to intervene under bankruptcy rule 2018, 7024 FRCPiv P 24. Counsel should've checked the record in the US District Court as cited above. As a friend of the court and as a reporter having some knowledge as to bankruptcy fraud having been a victim for the last 19 years Mr. McDermott has acquired some knowledge of his duties and obligations under 18 USC 3057 of the United States criminal code and other criminal statutes that compel him to advise the court when it is obvious that a fraud is being committed upon the court by a party..

2. The court was advised that this investigative reporter after interviewing victim and checking the record for authenticity found ample grounds to advise the court under 18 USC 3057 that evidence that the movement in his counsel were pressing a illegal claim against the victim/debtor in direct violation of bankruptcy rule 9010(a)(b)(c)[2] appear to have been violated by the movements and his counsel placing of forged documents into the court record. And failing to tell the court of their insider connections within the Calgary County judicial circuit. That proceedings in that court resulted in an illegal foreclosure proceeding against the victims/debtor as forensic documents in the court records clearly attest to. George McDermott has chronicled his intervention on behalf of the state of Maryland in video record available to this court@ programs 283 parts (one), ( two ) and (three). this court couldn't know of the injustices suffered by debtor in other courts due to movements Deceit and trickery .

3. This court relies on the honesty and integrity of the attorneys appearing before it in compliance with established rules of professional conduct outlined in Rule 3.5. Impartiality and Decorum of the Tribunal.(a) A lawyer shall not: will (1) seek to influence a judge, prospective, qualified, or sworn juror, or other official by means prohibited by law; opposing counsel had an obligation to alert the court that his close personal relationship with the circuit court judges in Calvert County of court documents and orders obtained recently reveal the judges who had personal close relationships with the movement recuse themselves in matters weeks before but failed to recuse themselves in the matters involving debtor's property being illegally foreclose on. Memorandum of law is attached regarding this issue.

3. Attorney Hoffman states in paragraph 2. ("In any event, Mr. Rick Dermot makes no showing of any interest in this property or the subject matter oh proceedings which would entitle him to intervene here in."). Once again attorney Hoffman makes an unfounded fictitious statement not supported by facts or evidence. Mr. McDermott is a taxpayer in the United States of America who pays for the operation and administration of courts system, our federal reserve system, and the operation of the federal reserve, due to trillions of dollars in illegal foreclosures in the United States using Robo signers as evidence clearly shows and the fact that $.42 out of every dollar goes for interest on the national debt. Mr. McDermott's duties are to report fraud and waste in our court system under 18 USC 3057. The extremely unusual sale of millions of dollars worth of property to a court insider/movement Paul Monger in an customary closed nonpublic auction raises flags that even this court should not ignore.

4. Mr. McDermott being a victim of bankruptcy fraud the last 17 years emanating from case # 88 84274 6 PM which now can be documented in at least 105 court cases encompassing almost 7000 docket entries. The record of this can also be seen on the Internet@ programs 1 through 280 all of these injustices emanating out of the seventh judicial circuit word the courts and judges encourage lawyers take advantage of proceedings litigants and the self represented as retaliation for appearing before the courts. Even though court Rule 3.4. Fairness to Opposing Party and Counsel [3]. Prohibit such action. Therefore as a citizen who has taken an oath or affirmation to uphold and defend the Constitution of this nation against all enemies foreign and domestic the same as the officers Of the Court, Mr. McDermott definitely have standing to bring a fraud upon the court to the attention of the court, under 18 USC 3057 and the local FB I as he will do upon filing this document as the US attorneys office is negligent in its oversight of the US trustee's office and is ineffective in preventing abuses of the system.

5. Attorney Hoffman infers and once again paragraphs 3 and I quote ("but the motion of Mr. McDermott amounts to the unauthorized practice of law.") Once again I believe attorney Hoffman is misrepresenting statement of facts which is sanctionable by this court. 28 USC 1664 gives citizens the right to go into any court in the United States and press actions in defense or for recoupment of losses they may have suffered. This is affirmed under the Maryland Constitution and declaration of rights article 19.

5. The illegal use of court resources by corporate America and its agents such as Paul Monger and his attorneys acting under color of law and authority diminished state treasuries and federal treasuries which George McDermott is a taxpayer has a right to protect. The illegal sale of debtor's property to an insider for hundreds of thousands of dollars under appraised value with insider only paying $400 over alleged opening bid liens did U.S. Treasury to cover the losses which now amount to trillions of dollars and are threatening the survivability of this nation.

If attorney Hoffman and this court is in the belief that filing a friend of the court notice notifying the court of fraud has been committed on it is the illegal practice of law. Then I challenge attorney Hoffman and this court to produce the following documents in support of attorney Hoffman's claim.

A. The constitutional amendment to title 28 of the code of the judiciary stating and defining the house bill number, the Senate bill number, the house vote on the bill its passage and recording in the national register. The Senate bill and passage date also recorded on the national register. The date the president of United States signed the bill and the location within the national archives of the United States as required before an amendment to the Constitution can be made. Making it illegal for private citizens to alert the court that a fraud has been committed.

B. Secondly the constitutional amendment that gives the judges said officers of the court judicial immunity when they act outside of their oath of office to disenfranchise our citizens of their rights afforded on the Constitution of the United States. Such as is happened in this case both in the state and federal courts ignoring their constitutional duty to uphold and defend victim/debtors rights and liberties this also should be an amendment to the title 28 of the U.S. Constitution once again House and Senate bill numbers, dates of passage, presidential signature, national archives locations needed,

C. Thirdly the constitutional amendment to title 28 turning over control of our courts to a monopoly known as the American Bar Association, giving this public nonprofit Corporation the authority to represent corporations against private citizens in the United States as real parties of interest and allowing its members and Associates to operate outside of the law, by not complying with established rules under title 28 of the Judiciary act, in violation of title 15 commerce act,18 criminal statutes such as 18 USC 3057 requiring officers of the court to act in FULL compliance with the Constitution as established by the Congress of the United States reaffirmed under title 42 for the protection of our citizens against encroachment of our legal and civil rights by agents and insiders of the court system and corporations and entities C control. Once again the United States House Bill number, Senate Bill number, date of passage, presidential seal, and national archives locations as needed for verification.

D. Attorney Hoffman asserts that McDermott’s request for the court to certify and verify it's court orders amounts to an unauthorized practice of law. The court and attorney Hoffman are now requested to produce the constitutional amendments under all 50 statutes of the U.S. Constitution amending our forefathers wishes that this nation be one nation under God indivisible with equal justice and liberty for all. At one point in time did the Congress of the United States amend the Constitution giving corporate insider/nonprofit agents of the American Bar Association the exclusive right and monopoly over giving legal advice and assisting victims of court and corporate fraud in our nations publicly funded courts. Once again House resolution number, Senate Bill number dates of passage of bills presidential seal and location in national archives authorizing changes to the Constitution disenfranchising or citizens of our rights and liberties,

IT is attorney Hoffman and his agents who are guilty of the unauthorized practice of law as they have violated the court rules, United States code, the rules of civil decency, in their economic and judicial terrorism employed against debtor Jane wills Michaud and her family under color of law and authority employing trickery and deceit and outright fraud on the court.

6. Once again attorney Hoffman has implied in paragraph 4 and I quote ("The Movement, Mr. Monger for a relies upon the ground stated in his opposition to the debtor's own motion for stay") my only response to this is defendant has put forth affirmative defenses under title 15 of the United States code 15 USC 1693 and others which have now been verified by a forensic auditor and these documents were put into the record and Prince Georges County Circuit Court seeking relief, the Calvert County Circuit Court seeking relief. Documents and forensic report with new motions are being placed into the record of this court in the United States District Court which has current jurisdiction over this case under rule 9011[4] alerting all courts of the illegal activities of Paul Monger at his counsel under 18 USC 3057. George McDermott trading as & Secret NEWS has performed its duty as an investigative reporter by informing the court of the fraud deceit trickery and dishonesty being perpetrated on it by movement Paul Monger and his counsel. Video records have been made available chronicling debtor's efforts to save her property.

7. [Att 2] is the illegally obtained the eviction document movement Paul Monger and his attorney obtained from the Charles County Sheriff's office under false pleadings stating that all appeals have been exhausted. And movement had a party to evict the debtor knowing full well that appeals were still in play in the Maryland Court of special appeals as well as the United States District Court the court could take judicial notice that it was notified that for reasons unknown defendants notice of appeal was never properly transferred to the US District Court in a timely fashion. Once again attorney Hoffman taking advantage of unskilled pro se litigant in violation of as victim/debtor was unaware that the court mishandled her notice of appeal under rules 8004, 8005, and 8006 having not received any deficiency notices. As required by law rule 9022 (a)(b)[5]

In conclusion George McDermott assert that attorney Hoffman has filed this request for relief in the wrong court as an accomplished attorney he is well aware that filing a notice of appeal divest the lower court of jurisdiction and authority to alter the standing of the parties to limit until after all appeals have been exhausted and the record returned to the court being appealed. Accordingly George McDermott's praise did this court will take appropriate action under 18 USC 3057 as required and under Rule 9012. Oaths and Affirmations report dismounted to the US attorney for a grand jury investigation pursuant to the rules as court personnel and trustees have all taken oaths of office to respect and abide by the Constitution as a part of the employment contract with we the people of these United States, which includes the debtor Jane Wailes Michaud and her family.
