On 12/28/10 or d ay before when at local library; there were two blue chairs/also on top of display case was a "JOIN THE FRIENDS"at the Library poster=on top of a train display "DICKland";
There is nothing in the United States constitution/Bill of Rights that says that a person has to be a "GREAT SERVANT" or a member of the "FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY" group before they can receive the benifits of being a citizen; in fact it says the opposite; that no oneshall interfere with a person's right to life, liberty,etc..

And that no one shall conspire against the citizens of the United States of America; meaning every citizen has a right to exercise their rights and not be punished for not joining any group.

Presently at local main library; where after person came out of local bathroom (on the floor/business department) there were
EXTREMELY LOUD FUMES/ODORS; which burn the nose. did not report to officials; same smeell has been on local city buses.

http://www.cdc.gov/

Response was that the page could not be found after I clicked on the submit link?

Can someone please inform the CDC (Center for Disease control) that EXTREMELY LOUD FUMES/ODORS are being used at the 5th street public library as a form of harassment/intimidation./and psychological abuse. And it is LOUD and STRONG enough for those in charghe to smell it.

Thank You

The New term; ECONOMIC terro-ism is a term that Melissa Harris-Perry used to relate to a PRIOR ERA when then was extreme violence before and during the Civil War=?; that what I have been experiencing; somebody forgot to tell ???that the Civil War is over and that those who tried to keep blacks slaves can't force African Americans to work for them or stop African Americans from making money and that to do so is against the law!!!!!!

Insult is more abrasive than injury; statement by Anelo Codevilla-12/27/10-Claremont Institute Senior Fellow Boston Univerisity International relations professor; statement also made on same program that "Confidence in leaders in Amrican by citizens has been decreased because of CULTURAL problems which needs to be addressed";But it will NOT be addressed becasue even as the person spoke it (white male) they are part of the problem and don't reconize it"; also imagine over thirty years of insults almost twenty to thirty times a day of insults and not even being able to escape it while being at home; IF insult is mor abrasive than injury; wonder where I am.

Justice Day O'Conner and Justice David Sanders(sp); both o program on C-span about educating the public about the Judicial system-as they were speaking; it dawned on me that in order for an African American to deal with the Judicial system they would have to do what O'Conner and Sanders (sp) said; plus; and to finish the program-Justice Sanders said the same message that I wrote to carry as I walked to work when working at ---'s ---b-the message was "YOU'RE NEXT"; Justice Sanders(sp) said in the final analysis "YOU'RE NEXT"-speaking about mistreatment in the judicial system; he's speaking about the judicial system; the people reading this/and working in the system of abuse-the same goes for each of you; it's your job to harass me; but tomorrow it will be somebody elses job to harass YOU!!!!

Update for 12/13/10 posting of "BERNIE madoff/BERNIE saunders/BERNIE hired to harass Socialpeacest at local library";

As I was watching the "BERNIE" Mac program over the christmas holidays; it dawned on me that the BERNIE of the BERNIE Mac Show had died; thus the "BERNIE hired to harass Socialpeacest at local library" also had the issue of relating to what had happened to BERNIE Mac of the BERNIE Mac Show; almost the exact same thing that had happened to my cousin that had died while also in his sleep=?!which would be a very good motivator to do as told!!!!!!

Also called in the Sat. before Christmas on a local radio program; people had called in and said they wanted to help the week before; when I called the pastor's wife and asked if anyone has sent anything?THROUGH THE MAIL; the answer was NO!; Called three times over the sprad of a week and got the same answer; then listened to the show the following Sat. and sure enough there were all kinds of people calling into the show that you knew had listen to the show for awhile=?????; but nothing in the MAIL concerning the people who wanted to help me turn my lights on=???


Kind of strange; I have work with enough people in the African American community to KNOW that they DO help their own; so that means that SOMEBODY, I say SOMEBODY is messing with the mail/they put my name on it/ Wonder WHO could it BE???? the pastor's wife said there was no mail.

Anyway know I blogged about BERNIE Mac and the coincidences that I had written about and the fact that I wondered why they used BERNIE Mac;

12/15/10

On 12/14/10; same day relative had their one year review of how well they are doing on the job/real job/harassing and using ethnic intimidation techniques on me=called the court and the bastards informed me that a legal situation that if I was white would be a matter of law; was denied/dismissed; which means I have to appeal again; also TWO white males in UPS trucks came to the door after relative had one year job review to confirm that they are on the same page if they want a job. the same sibbling agreed to pay light bill/changed their mind/lights went off,etc.. As someone said it is their money/and my answer was part of it is?the part that her mother stole from me will be gotten back; Then offered to buy a kerosun; told them to put money on light bill; Oops can't do that means you in the civilized world=?


About two weeks prior one of male sibblings said he was tired of seeing me suffer; told them to get me an attorney or attack the people who are bothering me; they couldn't get that far; as one relative put it; God keeps sending that male sibbling; and as I told that relative; but which God?; he is very easily manipulated; why they (white males) allow him to make money; after male sibbling made that statement I knew exactly why that God kept sending him; I have yet to receive what he represents and even if I tried to tell the male sibbling; which I did, they still don't get it.

On the other hand the other male sibbling has JUST RECIEVED a great big lump sum of MONEY as a settlement/?; just bought a BIG house/jaguar(sp)-car; I called, which I have never asked him for anything and asked for money to help me with getting my lights/heat/water/and some food; his response almost/going on close to a month is that I will get back with you.

Both sibbling are/have and still are experiencing ethnic intimidation techniques; one who just got a house and money=had the ethnic intimidation to stop/after he got a white girlfriend-he also has been on reserve for the bastards to try and intimidate me-they are holding something over his head to force him to work for them=?

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

12/15/10

Today went and filed a fifteen page document/copyright/ concerning IF anything happens to me; because can't seem to get anyone to intervene; everybody participating in ethnic intimidation=?-motivated by the judges decision to try and dismiss the case; the reason he wants to dismiss the case is because all of the good ale white males(not boys-the ones with money); but the white males that have like regular old jobs would be put into jepody ALL OF THEIR JOBS AND WHAT THEY ARE REALLY DOING WOULD BE OBVIOUS: like why the major bail out was required-to take jobs from all those not participating in their system and give them to most white males who have the specific instructions to organize and pursue ethnic intimidation.


Part of the definition of ethnic intimidation is that the person is harassed; and DAMAGE DONE TO THEIR PROPERTY; have blogged since 2005 about harassment; and about windows being broken by boy next door with his parent permission. Part of the definition is that any person or persons who assembles with one or more persons to teach any technique or means to be used to commmit any act in violation of damage or to deface the property of another person or threaten to do any scuh act is guilty of ethnic indimiation (five years in some states). Ethnic intimidation referrs to acts of malicious and intions of intimidation/harassment of another person because of color, race, religion (like churches in Canada that helped in the ethnic intimidation techniques of the Indidan children in the boarding school; gender or national origin. Ethnic intimidation is classified as ethnic cleansing-to run a race of people from out of a community; includes mass murder, mass rapes and expelling survivors (Socialpeacest-so far)to extinguish the victimized minority (why all of the young African American males (in just about every African American family is forced to leave Winston-Salem, North Carolina; then the women have no one to intervene to help them when white males try and use ethnic intimidation to force them to do something.

DAMAGE DONE TO THEIR PROPERTY:

1. Sibbling paid to have work done; After the LOUISE ANNa OIL SPILL (Black gold);
then they stopped and the person who they paid to do the work stopped doing
the work;Oil spill was used to communicate to the sibbling with the money that if
they helped me with/on the house that it would be the result of helping a black
person and that is not allowed.[Thye=? are in the process of revealing that the
OIL Spill was done intentionally; most people will not KN OW that it ws done to
communicate a message that a black person was trying to get their money back from
males and the president needed to do something; why they made sure he won the 2008
election.

2. Same sibbling; KNOW don't have income/and they have all the money left by the
female who allowed me to come through her womb/ and that they interfere/block
my income flow; promised to pay light bill/then all of a sudden changed their
mind; boy are they having fun; WHERE IS GOD????????????? for all you bastards
that want to serve God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3. Female's son next door broke my three windows and glass front door; the guy who
is suppose to repair them is suppose to be kin to her boyfriend=?See how tight
the circle is?BUT the issue is that there is damage to property and it is coming
from within and without of my family=? (part of the definition of ethnic
intimidation)

4.Interesting that on 12/14/10 white male in Florida? went into a SCHOOL board
meeting; drew a "V" in a circle and then started shooting because his wife had
been fired= coincidence=that it was related to a SCHOOL-WSSU wouldn't let me into
their shcool of Education; and that the last name DUKE has same name as the team
of the guy who wanted to date me=? (could be psychological ethnic intimidation-to
the guy=? Know that the fifth street public library had a picture or Humphrey
Bogard(sp)with a picture of a gun pointed at the patrons/lady up under the picture
and th picture was position so that if a person came in on a regular basis; they
would see it/subliminal message=? Issue also realted to job=has beeen an issue!

5. News commentator asked why all the crime in the news; answer that is part of the
way that they use ethnic intimidation on the guy who wanted to date me/mind
control.

6. Rachel Ray asked the question"What is the issue with the new prince william and
his girlfriend=answer=way/code they use ethnic intimidation and communicate to
the big boys to let them know who is doing what.

7. Prince Charles and his wife were attacked (ethnic intimidation) by a crowd; also
part of a code.

8. BERNIE Sanders-Filibuster-code to BERNIE in Winston-Salem (why they put just
about all of the major names in my life on the BERNIE MACK SHOW)-they intended to
use the BERNIE that I know(have to be someone who knows you to do you in because
you don't trust other people(concept)- and being that BERNIE that I know retired
from their system; he knows how/ about ethnic intimidation or he would not have
been able to keep his job.

9. BERNIE Maddoff son committed suicide(ethnic intimidatioin)-BERNIE that I know
in Winston-Salem has a son ("which one would you chose- harass a person you KNOW
haven't done anything wrong to you or let them kill your son?")In fact his son
was in some classes with me at Winston-Salem State University-seee how the same
names/peoples and organizations keep cropping up=?

10. All the crime over the weekend was to give mindsets so that people will react
in certain ways because of ethnic intimidation through the MEDIA-which is a key
to system of ethnic intimidation/S--o house-connection.

11. Specifically to give BERNIE in Winston-Salem who was recently hired at the library that I have to go to on a regular basis the mindset to harass/use ethnic
intimidation on Socialpeacest;especially after he was told to have me to leave
the library by the head lady who called the head lady at the 5th street public
library who told BERNIE in Winston-Salem to remove me from the library;BUT
when BERNIE came and asked me to leave; What he said/repeated was recorded by
people that was on the phone, who I had called about the personal attitude(s)
at the library who make up their own rules; as I was explaining and asking the
head people what to do about it; BERNIE in Winston-Salem came out and asked me
to leave and I asked him to speak loud enough into the phone so that the person
I was talking to could hear him; he did and they heard. They heard when I asked
him why was I being put out; he said because I said something, I asked what did I say; he said he didn't know; only that they (an African American female) asked him to ask me to leave; which verified what I was telling the person on the phone that they just do what they want togive no explanation and when the person complains,the person recieves more harassment;told them I was tired of the constant arassment,etc.; asked them what to do; they gave me instructions and said to call them back if there are no results; presently waiting after talking to some people.

GOT OFF OF SCOMPUTER /nonPROFIT/CHANGED TO ONE RISING NORTH-AUTHORITY FIGURE APPEARED FROM REAR=?

In one were to factor; and I put this in the Forsyth County court house the fact that all the issues on this/other blogs/the orgainztions and people who continously keep cropping up;coincidences of key major figures/ in tiny group settings=? allof it adds up to STALKING; did put in file that I had asked the head librarian at local library to stop leaving books out like they were sending message they were waiting for me to return; three and four days later where books were where I had left them three to four days later; did point out that nobody else had books waiting on them after they left the library and returned the next day=; also pointed out that if anything happens to me; that hte people/organizations are accessories to/before and after the fact;

That it was no coincidence that the guy who wanted to date me ended up in the same type of so called volunteer program that I was LUCKY enought to be put into as a volunteer offender;

That is was no coincidence that the head lady is African American female at the main and local library; Sam's club-white male and an African American female;an African American female hired by the Winston-Salem Transit authority to harass me on bus # 13; African American female who took my childs' #13 years of back child support; African American female who helped my ex-to get away with child molestation; African American female who called the security guards on me when I caught someone in my personal belongings; family member (mother) who helped the bastards/family member trained to do the same(but her ass an't my mammy);And the fact that a white male always shows up like recently where elderly relative had a program-she has not called me since-guess she joined the group=?-she did say in her prayer over the holidays-let us all go the aid of the one=as she looked at me; that will need our help=message; white boys.

To pay so close attention to someone that the books are left; everytime they go to any library=that is STALKING.

Watched "PUNKED; that is what it is like to live as an African American trying to prosper in an African American heritage; if the person is living right; ONLY on "PUNKLED" people come out and say "got ya"; I have been waiting over thiry plus years and in stead of them saying "got ya" they keep trying to say something else; I keep saying not if there is a God.

Anyway All who all involved is listed in numerous files downtown at the court house; IF anything ever happens.

INTRODUCTION
This guide is designed to assist you if (1) you want to file a lawsuit in the
federal court or you have an active role, either as a plaintiff or defendant, in a case
that you or someone else has filed already in federal court, and 92) you have
elected to proceed without the assistance of a trained and licensed attorney.
Some basic definitions that you need to be aware of regarding commonly
used “terms” in civil actions pending before this court are as follows:
Plaintiffs and defendants in court cases are generally referred to as the
“parties” or “litigants.” The plaintiff asserts a claim or right protected by law
against the defendant; the defendant denies the claim or right, and the court
determines whether the asserted claims or rights have substance or merit. The
majority of the litigants who appear in this court are represented by an attorney
who has been trained in the law and is familiar with the applicable court rules and
procedures. Parties or litigants who are not represented by licensed attorneys, who
elect to represent themselves, generally are referred to as pro se parties or pro se
litigants. Likewise, plaintiffs or defendants who represent themselves generally
are referred to as pro se plaintiffs or pro se defendants.
This Guide will not answer all your questions about what you need to do to
represent yourself effectively as a pro se litigant. The Guide outlines the basic
steps that are required to properly file a civil action or lawsuit with this court. It
also provides some general guidance on the next steps in the process of litigating
the action once you have filed it with the clerk of court. However, you are
responsible for learning about and following the procedures that govern the court
process. Although the staff of the Clerk’s office can provide pro se litigants with
general information concerning court rules and procedures, they are forbidden , as
a matter of law, from providing legal advice, from interpreting and applying court
rules, or otherwise participating, directly or indirectly, in any action.
2
A WORD OF ADVICE: Self-representation carries certain responsibilities
and risks that pro se litigants should be aware of before they proceed. The court
encourages all individuals who are thinking about pro se or self-representation to
carefully review the risks associated with self-representation and to inform
themselves of the potential consequences.
WARNING: Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure prohibits the
filing of lawsuits that are clearly frivolous or filed merely to harass someone. If
after reviewing your complaint, the court determines that you have filed a lawsuit
for an improper or clearly unnecessary purpose, it may impose sanctions against
you, including ordering you to pay the legal fees of the person or persons against
whom you filed the lawsuit.
SECTION I
IMPORTANT ISSUES YOU SHOULD CONSIDER
BEFORE DECIDING TO REPRESENT YOURSELF
IN AN ACTION BEFORE THE FEDERAL COURT
A. IS THE FEDERAL COURT THE APPROPRIATE COURT TO HEAR
YOUR DISPUTE?
The United States District Court for the Western District of North carolina
is one of 94 trial courts in the federal court system. In the State of North Carolina
there are three United States District Courts which are the Eastern, Middle and
Western Districts. Each district is divided by the counties of which it is statutorily
comprised. The United States District Court for the Western District of North
Carolinas is divided into four (4) divisions, Asheville, Bryson City, Charlotte and
Statesville. The divisions are comprised by county as follows:
ASHEVILLE DIVISION: if the defendant(s) reside in, or if the action on
which the lawsuit is based occurred in one of the following counties, it is an
Asheville Division Case: Avery, Buncombe, Burke, Cleveland, Haywood,
Henderson, Madison, McDowell, Mitchell, Polk, Rutherford, Transylvania
and Yancey counties.
3
BRYSON CITY DIVISION: if the defendant(s) reside in, or if the action on
which the lawsuit is based occurred in one of the following counties, it is an
Bryson City Division case: Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Jackson, Macon and
Swain counties.
CHARLOTTE DIVISION: if the defendant(s) reside in, or if the action on
which the lawsuit is based occurred in one of the following counties, it is an
Charlotte Division case: Anson, Gaston, Mecklenburg and Union counties.
STATESVILLE DIVISION: if the defendant(s) reside in, or if the action
on which the lawsuit is based occurred in one of the following counties, it is
an Statesville Division case: Alexander, Alleghany, Ashe, Caldwell,
Catawba, Iredell, Lincoln, Watauga and Wilkes counties.
Each of the three staffed offices in the cities of Asheville, Charlotte and
Statesville are available to accept and file new law suits, pleadings, hold court
proceedings and carry out the assigned duties and business of the court during the
hours of 8:30 A.M. to 12:30 P.M. and 1:30 P.M. to 4:00 P.M., Monday through
Friday.
As is the case in all of the federal trial courts, this court is authorized only to
hear disputes that fall into the following four categories:
1. Those that deal with a question involving the United States Constitution;
2. Those that involve questions of federal - as opposed to state - law;
3. Those that involve the United States of America as a party, whether plaintiff
or defendant; and
4. Those that involve a dispute among residents of different states with an
amount in controversy over $75,000.00.
Your complaint must fall under one of these categories to be filed in federal
court.
4
B. IS THERE AN ALTERNATIVE TO APPEARING PRO SE
(REPRESENTING YOURSELF) THAT IS AFFORDABLE?
Most people who file and pursue litigation in the federal court employ a
licensed attorney who practices law, has appeared in court, and is familiar with the
rules of procedure that govern court process. If you would prefer to have an
attorney to represent you, but you are unable to afford one, you should consider
contacting the local bar association whose staff can explain the various options for
obtaining and paying for legal services.
If you cannot find an attorney to represent you, you have the right to pursue
your claims in the court by appearing without representation or pr se, a Latin
phrase that means “for yourself.” Be aware that appearing as a pro se litigant, you
are representing only yourself and presenting only your claims or defenses. Under
the law, you cannot speak for another person, a company, or other entity such as a
club or association that include other individuals. When you appear pro se, you
must follow the same rules and procedures that licensed attorneys who practice in
this court must follow. Generally, judges hold pro se litigants to the same
standards of professional responsibility as trained attorneys.
C. IF YOU PLAN TO REPRESENT YOURSELF, WHERE CAN YOU GO
TO REVIEW THIS COURT’S RULES OF PROCEDURE AND
APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAWS?
As a pro se litigant, you should be familiar with the appropriate sets of
federal rules of procedure. These rules set forth the general procedural
requirements for litigating cases in all federal courts. As a pro se litigant in a civil
case, you should be familiar with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the
Federal Rules of Evidence. If you are a pro se defendant in a criminal case, you
should be familiar with the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and Federal Rules
of Evidence. Federal laws are located in the United States Code, which is
abbreviated as “U.S.C.” These rules and laws could be available in your local
public or county government libraries.
5
As a pro se litigant, you also should be familiar with the District Court
Rules of Practice, a set commonly referred to as local rules that apply specifically
to court proceedings in this court. The local rules cover the general procedure and
flow of any action filed in the Western District of North Carolina.
The local rules can be reviewed at a public law library and are located in the
North Carolina Rules of Court - Federal published by West Publishing or
Annotated Rules of North Carolina available in the North Carolina Statutes
published by Michie. The local rules are available for purchase in each of the
Clerk’s three staffed offices for a cost of $10.00 or can be downloaded at no
charge from the court’s website, www.ncwd.uscourts.gov. The website can also
be used to obtain forms, scanned documents, review case dockets and directions to
all courthouses located within our district.
D. ARE THERE CERTAIN TYPES OF CASES IN WHICH LITIGANTS
TYPICALLY REPRESENT THEMSELVES?
As noted earlier, a litigant may appear pro se in any case that is properly
within the jurisdiction of this court. There are three (3) categories of cases that are
most often filed by pro se litigants. They are as follows:
1. Cases alleging denial of civil rights under Title 42 U.S.C. §1983;
2. Cases alleging employment discrimination under Title 42 U.S.C. §2000(e);
and
3. Cases filed by persons who are in jail or prison and who challenge their
sentences or conditions of confinement.
6
E. HOW DO YOU START A NEW CASE?
FILE A COMPLAINT: the plaintiff or person bringing the lawsuit to court files a
complaint. The complaint can be filed by hand-delivering it or mailing it to any of
the staffed divisional offices of this district. The addresses and telephone numbers
for each office are listed as follows:
U.S. District Court Clerk, Western District of North Carolina, Asheville Division,
100 Otis St., Rm. 309, Asheville, NC 28801, Phone: 828-771-7200.
U.S. District Court Clerk, Western District of North Carolina, Charlotte Division,
401 W. Trade St., Rm. 210, Charlotte, NC 28202, Phone: 704-350-7400.
U.S. District Court Clerk, Western District of North Carolina, Statesville Division,
200 W. Broad St., Rm. 100, Statesville, NC 28677, Phone: 704-883-1000.
The case will be filed and assigned to the correct divisional office regardless of
which staffed office the complaint is filed. This case assignment is determined in
the Western District of North Carolina as stated previously in Section I and is
based on the defendant or defendants’ county of residence or the place where the
incident is alleged to have occurred.
Whether you deliver or mail your complaint to the court, you must submit:
1) The original of the complaint along with any copies you would like
returned. Enclose a self-addressed postage paid envelope for any copies
you have included for return.
2) A completed cover sheet.
3) The $350.00 filing fee (unless you are proceeding in forma pauperis as
discussed in Sections I(G) and V of this Guide). The complaint outlines a
problem or reason for the lawsuit, also know as the cause of action. This
complaint is given a case number and assigned to a district judge or
magistrate judge.
7
SERVE THE COMPLAINT: Each defendant or person whom the plaintiff
claims is responsible for the problem must be notified of the lawsuit through a
process that is specified under law. The responsibility for notifying each
defendant rests with the plaintiff and is referred to as service of process. The
provisions for service of process are described in Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure. If these service of process requirements are not followed
correctly, the case can be dismissed for failure to effect proper service of process.
The defendant(s) can be notified by service of a summons. You can obtain
the standard summons form from the clerk’s office or the court’s website at
www.ncwd.uscourts.gov. After you complete this summons form, staff of the
clerk’s office officially issue the summons; this means that an authorized court
employee will sign the form and emboss it with the official seal of the court. The
summons and complaint are then served on the defendant.
Detailed provisions on how to serve the defendant are contained in Rule 4
of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. You should carefully review the rule to
make sure that you are familiar with those provisions. The service of process
requirement can be satisfied in one of four ways.
1. Personal Service: here you direct someone else to deliver or serve a copy of
the complaint and summons on the defendant(s). Such service can be
performed by anyone who is over eighteen years of age and who is not a
party in the case. Constables and private process servers will do this for a
fee. The person who serves the summons must record on the back of the
summons form his or her name, the name of the person who was served, and
the date and time of the service. This section of the summons form is
referred to as the return of service, and if it is not completed, service of
process is not complete. Rule 4 requires confirmation that service has been
completed. Such confirmation of proof that the documents have been
served on the defendant requires that the original summons form with the
return of service completed be returned to the court and that a copy of the
form be left with the defendant. Another copy of this return of service
should be retained by you for your records.
2. Waiver of Service: Rule 4 permits a defendant to waive service of process.
That means the defendant agrees to respond to your complaint without
8
being served with it. The clerk’s office can provide you with a waiver form
tha you can mail to the defendant along with a copy of your complaint. If
the defendant completes and returns the waive, you will be spared the
burden of service. If you use this form of service, you should file a copy of
your request to the defendant for wiaver with the clerk’s office. If the
waiver is then signed by the defendant and returned to you, the original
signed waiver form should be filed with the clerk’s office to indicate that
the complaint has been served. Another copy of this waiver should be
retained by you for your records.
3. Service by Mail: Rule 4 permits that the laws of the State in which the
district is located govern service of process. The laws of the State of North
Carolina permit for service of process by certified or registered mail. This
means that you may mail a copy of the summons and complaint to each
named defendant by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested,
addressed to the party to be served, and delivering to the addressee. This
service is governed by the North carolina rules of civil Procedure, rule
4(j)(l)(c). When you receive the receipt card indicating that the defendant(s)
has received your complaint, the receipt card should be attached to a copy of
the summons for each defendant and filed with the clerk’s office. Another
copy of each returned receipt card and summons should be retained by you
for your records.
4. Service by the U.S. Marshal: If a judge approves your application to
proceed in forma pauperis (waiver of the requirement to pay the $350.00
case filing fee as described in Section V of this Guide), the court will
generally direct process to issue and provide for service by the U.S.
Marshal, if your case has been determined to have substance or merit.
After you file your complaint with the clerk’s office, you have 120 days to
service a copy of it and the summons on the defendant(s). It is your responsibility
to effect service; if you fail to do so within the 120 days, your case may be
dismissed.
9
File and Serve the Response: Once the defendant(s) has been served with a
copy of the complaint, the defendant(s) must file with the court an answer or some
other response within the specified number of days. Under the rules governing
service of process, each defendant is required to provide a copy of the response on
the plaintiff.
Once each defendant has filed a response, the case is considered at issue.
F. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A CASE IS AT ISSUE?
Local Rule (LR) 16.1 governs the pretrial conference procedures for this
district. You and the other represented parties are required to confer as provided
by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(f) and file a proposed discovery plan within
five (5) days of the conference which shall serve as a guideline for the court in
issuing a scheduling order. Once the discovery plan has been filed the assigned
judge will enter a Pretrial Order unless the parties request a pretrial conference
with the court. If requested, the pretrial conference should be held within twelve
(12) days of the filing of the discovery plan (LR 16.1(b)). Once the scheduling
order is in place then the case may proceed in accordance with the deadlines
established within the order and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
CIVIL CASES ASSIGNED TO A DISTRICT JUDGE
If your case is assigned to a district judge , then under the authority of Local
Rule (LR) 72.1, it could be referred to a magistrate judge for assistance in
managing it. All subsequent court proceedings may be conducted before that
magistrate judge. You have the opportunity to consent to jurisdiction of the
magistrate judge to manage and hear all proceedings on your case including final
disposition of your claims. At case opening, a package will be provided to you
which will contain a form entitled “Consent to proceed before a Magistrate
Judge/Refusal to consent to proceed before a Magistrate Judge.” The case will be
reassigned to the magistrate judge only if all parties consent.
10
CIVIL CASES ASSIGNED TO A MAGISTRATE JUDGE
If your case is assigned to a magistrate judge, you have the opportunity to
consent to jurisdiction of the magistrate judge to manage and hear all proceedings
on your case including final disposition of your claims. You also have the
opportunity to refuse the assignment of the case to a magistrate judge and request
reassignment of the case to a district judge. At case opening, a package will be
provided to you which will contain a form entitled “Consent to proceed before a
Magistrate Judge/Refusal to consent to proceed before a Magistrate Judge.”
This consent or refusal form should be served on all defendants along with
the service of the summons and complaint as set forth in LR 73.1. The plaintiff
should execute and file his/her copy of this form before seeking service of the
summons and complaint on the defendant(s) (refer to LR 73.1).
Filing of Motions and Objections: Either party – the plaintiff or defendant –
may request that the court take specific action related to the case. To do so, the
party prepares a formal request or what is referred to as a motion. Motion practice
is governed by Rule 7 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure along with LR 7.1.
The party must sign the motion and submit it for filing to the clerk of court. A
copy of the motion must also be sent to the opposing party or party’s attorney.
The opposing party may file with the clerk of court, an opposition or response to
the motion. This response sets forth the opposing party’s reasons why the court
should deny rather than grant the motion.
The time within which to respond or reply to motions is set out in LR 7.1.
The deadline for the filing of all motions within a civil action is generally set out
in the pretrial order.
Motion Review: The district or magistrate judge may schedule hearings or
decide or rule on the motion without a hearing by issuing a written order that
either grants, denies or partially grants and partially denies what the motion
sought.
Dispositive vs. Nondispositive Motions: Motions fall into two (2) broad
categories: dispositive and nondispositive. Dispositive motions, if granted,
dispose of the case; nondispositive motions, if granted, affect the case but do not
11
dispose of it. District judges have the authority to rule on both kinds of motions;
magistrate judges are authorized to rule only on nondispositive motions on cases
referred to them by district judges. If the parties have consented to jurisdiction of
the magistrate judge as the presiding judge (the judge to whom the case is
assigned), then the magistrate judge has full authority to rule on both kinds of
motions the same as the district judge.
Magistrate Judge Memorandum & Recommendation: In cases referred to a
magistrate judge and one of the parties files a dispositive motion, the magistrate
judge is authorized to prepare a written memorandum and recommendation,
essentially a recommendation that the motion be either granted or denied and
stating the reason why. This memorandum and recommendation then is forwarded
to the district judge assigned to the case, and copies are sent to the parties. As a
party, you have a certain number of days within which to file objections to the
memorandum and recommendation. All objections that are received within the
specified time are forwarded to the district judge. The district judge reviews the
memorandum and recommendation and any objections that have been filed. The
district judge then will issue an order that adopts, rejects, or adopts in part and
rejects in part the magistrate judge’s memorandum and recommendation. Where
the judge’s order dismisses the complaint and the cause of action, the clerk of
court will prepare and enter a judgement in the case. Such judgment is final and
can be appealed only to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit located in
Richmond, VA.
G. WHAT COURT FEES AND COSTS ARE YOU REQUIRED TO PAY?
The fee for filing a complaint and opening a civil case in any U.S. District
Court is $350.00. This may be paid in cash or check. A list of the fees charged by
the court for various services and materials is attached to this Guide. If you are
unable to pay the filing fee, you may apply for permission to proceed in forma
pauperis, which is Latin for “in the form of a pauper.” Information on filing in
forma pauperis is located in Section V of this Guide. An application form for
filing in forma pauperis is available at each of the clerk’s offices or from the
website at www.ncwd.uscourts.gov. Completed applications are forwarded to
either the Pro Se Law Clerk or a magistrate judge for review. If your application
is denied by the judge, your case cannot be opened until you pay the filing fee.
12
Waiver of the filing fee by the court does not automatically waive the other
costs associated with pursuing or litigating your case. If, for example, you need
copies of documents filed in your case, the clerk’s office is required to charge the
standard rate of $.50 per page. Other expenses you will incur include the costs of
(1) preparing the documents you file with the court, and 92) mailing or handdelivering
a copy of each document to the opposing party to satisfy the
requirements of service.
H. HOW DO YOU SUBMIT DOCUMENTS TO THE COURT?
Case-related documents that ask the court to take specific action are referred
to as motions or pleadings. If, for example, you want to ask the court to take an
action, such as appointing an attorney, you must do so by means of written motion.
A motion should be supported by a summary of the law supporting the motion
called a memorandum and/or by an affidavit or declaration of the movant that
provide the court with facts that support the granting of the motion. In preparing
motions, you should be as specific as possible about the order or action you would
like the court to take.
The court requires parties to submit or file an original of each pleading with
the clerk of court. Staff of the clerk’s office file stamp the document, scan or
image the document into a pdf document, and electronically file the document on
the court’s electronic case docket. Notice of this electronic filing will be emailed
to the assigned judge. Pro se parties may file pleadings with the court in person or
by mail. For purposes of filing in person the three staff offices of this district and
their addresses are found in Section I(E), Page 6 of this Guide. The offices are
open to the public from 8:30 A.M. to 12:30 P.M. and 1:30 P.M. to 4:00 P.M.,
Monday through Friday, except on federal holidays. All offices have a 24 hour
drop box for after hours filing, instructions are provided at each drop box site.
You should retain for your own use a copy of all documents filed with the
court. When you file documents in person, plan to bring your personal copy with
you so clerk’s staff can file stamp it along with the court’s original. If you mail
your document and wish to have a file stamped copy returned, you should enclose
an additional copy of the document along with a self-addressed, postage-paid
envelope.
13
Note: When you submit a pleading to the court you also must mail or deliver
a copy of the pleading to the defendant’s attorney, or if the defendant has no
attorney, to the defendant. At the end of your pleading, you must include a
certificate of service that states the date that you mailed or delivered a copy of the
pleading to the defendant. A sample form for a certificate of service is attached to
this Guide.
I. HOW DO YOU OBTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT THE STATUS AND
PROGRESS OF YOUR CASE?
The clerk’s office maintains an automated record or docket for every case.
This docket is a chronological summary of all significant events in the history of
the case. For example, each time you file a pleading or appear for a hearing, an
entry summarizing the event is added to the case docket. You may review the
docket on the public access terminal located in the clerk’s office. Alternatively, if
you have a personal computer with access to the internet you can review your case
docket on our website at www.ncwd.uscourts.gov using a program called WEB
PACER. Information is provided as to the charges and how to obtain a Web Pacer
Login when you select the WEB PACER option on the court’s website. If you
wish to have a paper copy of your docket prepared for you, staff of the clerk’s
office will provide it for you at $.50 per page.
It is important that you realize that staff of the clerk’s office do not know
and cannot provide you with the reasons for a judge’s decision. Nor is the clerk’s
office in a position to know when a judge will respond to a motion or issue a
ruling in a case. Deputy clerks are not attorneys and they are prohibited from
giving any legal advice.
J. IS IT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO SPEAK DIRECTLY TO A JUDGE OR
MEMBER OF HIS PERSONAL STAFF ABOUT YOUR CASE?
As a party appearing pro se, you are prohibited from all private or ex parte
communication with the judge to whom your case is assigned. Ex parte
communication occurs when one of the parties to a lawsuit exchanges information
with the assigned judge (1) without the opposing party being present or (2)
without the knowledge and consent of the opposing party. With few exceptions,
because of this prohibition a judge will refuse to speak or otherwise communicate
14
ex parte with any party to a case that is assigned to him. Any communication
between the assigned judge and a pro se litigant should be in writing, and copy of
the communication should be sent either to the opposing party or that party’s
attorney. For example, a party appearing pro se should send to the opposing party
a copy of any letter sent to the judge. Moreover, the letter to the judge should
indicate that a copy has been sent to the opposing party. (Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure (FRCP) , Rule 5(d)).
SECTION II
PROCEDURE FOR FILING A CIVIL RIGHTS ACTION
UNDER TITLE 42 U.S.C. SECTIONS 1983 AND 1985
One type of action frequently filed by pro se litigants is alleged denial or
violation of an individual’s civil rights. In a civil rights complaint, a pro se
plaintiff is alleging that his or her constitutional rights or privileges or immunities
have been violated. The federal law under which a civil rights claim arises is 42
U.S.C. §1983 and 1985.
As noted earlier in this Guide to file an action in this court you first must
prepare a complaint. Most complaints filed by pro se litigants involve alleged
violations of civil rights. To assist pro se litigants with the process of filing a
federal civil rights complaint, the clerk’s office has prepared an information packet
called Information For Filing A Civil Rights Complaint Under 42 U.S.C. §1983
and 1985. That packet includes a sample complaint form that you should use as a
guide when you prepare your complaint; the packet is available on the clerk’s
website and at each divisional office. Your complaint should be typed or
handwritten. In either case, you should make certain that your complaint is legible
and can be easily read by the judge.
15
SECTION III
ACTIONS BROUGHT BY PRISONERS
APPEARING PRO SE
Persons who are confined or incarcerated in a jail or prison occasionally file
pro se actions with the court. These actions fall into three general categories.
A. Appeal of Sentence: This is a criminal action in which a prisoner submits an
appeal to have a higher or superior court review the punishment or sentence that
the trial court imposed. If a person was sentenced by a judge from the U.S.
District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, an appeal is made to the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit which is located in Richmond,
Virginia. An appeal to the Fourth Circuit is made by filing a notice of appeal with
the clerk of court in any divisional offices located in Asheville, Charlotte or
Statesville. Appeals to the Fourth Circuit are governed by the Federal Rules of
Appellate Procedure, which set forth specific time deadlines for filing an appeal.
See Section I(C) for information on where you can review those rules.
B. Writ of Habeas Corpus: In this type of action, the prisoner applies or
petitions this court for a writ of habeas corpus; this is, in essence, an action that
challenges the constitutionality of the confinement and seeks to have the sentence
vacated or dismissed.
Both of these action are established by federal law. If you are in state
custody, having been sentenced by a state court judge, you may file a petition
under 28 U.S.C. §2254. If alternatively you are in federal custody, having been
sentenced by a federal judge, you may file a motion to vacate sentence under 28
U.S.C. §2255. The office of the clerk has prepared separate information packets,
complete with the required forms for these two types of actions. To obtain a copy
of either packet you can contact the office of the clerk or access the forms on the
court’s website www.ncwd.uscourts.gov. Note that Section 2254 and 2255
proceedings are governed by special rules called Rules Governing Section 2254
and 2255 Proceedings. It is the petitioner’s responsibility to become familiar with
those rules. See Section I(C) for information on where you can find those rules.
C. Prisoner Civil Rights: In this type of action, a prisoner challenges the
conditions of confinement, or the way he or she is being treated in prison or jail.
16
This type of action generally takes the form of a civil rights complaint. If you
wish to file a civil rights complaint, you should ask the clerk’s office for a copy of
the information packet called Instructions For Filing A Complaint Under The Civil
Rights Act 42 U.S.C. §1983/Prisoner Litigation. That packet includes a sample
complaint form that you should use as a guide when you prepare your complaint.
This packet is also available on the court’s website www.ncwd.uscourts.gov.
SECTION IV
EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION CASES
Another type of action filed by pro se litigants is alleged employment
discrimination. Prior to filing an employment discrimination complaint in the
federal court, the plaintiff is required to follow specific administrative procedures.
Note that this is not a complete statement of the law on administrative procedures
to follow in an employment discrimination case. The procedures are complicated
and it is the pro se litigant’s responsibility to make sure that all procedures are
followed correctly and within the applicable time limit. If the requirements are not
followed, your case may be dismissed.
A. PROCEDURES TO FOLLOW BEFORE THE COMPLAINT IS FILED
If you wish to file an employment discrimination case in this court, you
must file your charges with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
(EEOC). In most cases after review of your charges, and barring complications,
the EEOC will issue to you a Notice of Right to Sue indicating the (i) the
administrative process has been completed, and (ii) no further action will be taken
on behalf of the EEOC. Once this notice is issued, you have a limited time period
within which to file your lawsuit; failure to file a complaint in that time period will
result in having your cause of action dismissed by this court. A Notice of right to
sue is not issued where the charges allege employment discrimination based on
age. However, not having such a notice will no prevent you from filing an
employment discrimination complaint based on age.
The Notice of Right to Sue will indicate that you, as the litigant, have the
right to request the court to appoint an attorney to represent you if, for financial
reasons, you are unable to retain your own attorney. You should bear in mind that
in this court, a request for appointment of an attorney will be considered only after
17
a complaint has been filed and is pending before the court. Presently, there are no
federal funds available for appointment of counsel in civil matters.
B. To assist a party appearing pro se in filing an employment discrimination
complaint, the office of the clerk has prepared an information packet called
Information On Filing An Employment Discrimination Complaint. The packet is
available at the clerk’s office. The packet includes a sample complaint form to
assist you in filing an employment discrimination complaint. You should make
certain that your complaint is legible and can be easily read by the judge.
SECTION V
APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS
As is noted earlier in this Guide, filing a case in this court requires the
plaintiff to pay a $350.00 filing fee at the time the new case is filed. If you are
unable to pay this fee, you may apply to have payment of the fee waived. You can
apply for waiver of the fee only when your complaint accompanies the waiver
application.
WAIVER APPLICATION DENIED IN ITS ENTIRETY: If a judge subsequently
denies your waiver application in its entirety, you will be required to pay the
$350.00 filing fee. A copy of the judge’s order will be mailed to you. When the
filing fee is paid to the court, a copy of the complaint or cover letter indicating the
case number assigned must accompany the fee.
WAIVER APPLICATION DENIED IN PART - PORTION OF FILING FEE
ORDERED PAID: If the judge orders that a portion of the filing fee must be paid
within a specified period of time. If the partial filing fee is not paid by the court’s
deadline, then your case will be dismissed.
The application process requires that you complete and submit an
Application To Proceed In Forma Pauperis. This application is available on the
court’s website www.ncwd.uscourts.gov or at each staffed office. Brief
instructions for completing the application are as follows:
At the top of the application, you must note the name of the case caption:
The case name consists of your name as the plaintiff above the “v.” and the
18
name(s) of the defendant(s) below the “v.”. Staff in the clerk’s office will provide
the case number.
You must answer all questions truthfully and completely. If you own real
estate or automobiles that have outstanding mortgages or loans, you should be
very specific about your debt balance so the district judge who reviews the
application has accurate information as to the property’s value. You also must
sign the statement under penalty of perjury.
The completed application form should be submitted to the clerk’s office.
Staff there will transmit it with the complaint to the Pro Se Law Clerk who will
review the application for the assigned judge.

After asking the head librarian numerous times to have whoever(she said the pages) to please remove the books after I look at them becuase I have to put the books back if I want to sit at the same place and need space; again the books have been left on the table; so told the head libraian if she went to a web site about stalking she would find out that those of elements of stalking; for someone to leave something for the person as if to say I KNOW where you are at or are going to be; which oneof t he females is trying to do. Took pictures yesterday and to today to show that they are intentionally leaving the books; also informed the head librarian that from my observation there have been NO OTHER books/magazines have left out for anybody else;told her I don't want the attention; please have whoever to reselve books(basically law) in a proper fashion as they would do anybody else.

The girl Paula has been working at the library almost two years/ about when ----s ---b accused me of misconduct and dismissed me from work wrongly; they figured because there are only a few places to go with no money that the local library would be where I would go. Read on a site for people to protect themeslves that they should not do the same thing every day; people really don't have achoice; they control the economic situation so tight that every body falls in line which basically leaves the person seeking openings. And people in Winston-Salem are trained in the African American communicty that if they help another black person they are going to get it;but if they help harasss that person they will be rewarded; they even have a law that says that that is a crime; it is called ETHNIC INTIMIDATION; which is what Paula is about not the person persay; but the concept of what they represent to them; Paula is female who use to date the guy who wants to date me; they kept trying to get me to say I would be Paula=dumb;said no thank you; can't fought Paula; because she dumb therefore they can use her like a dog eating a bone; anything they tell her to do; she will do it; she makes an excellant puppet (like all the other African american females who are prostitutes to white males-technically,because some of them have had some education; they are not dumb; but they are ignorant- and they consciously chose to be a puppet; Paula they are using as a puppet is truly dumb; didn't say she was unlikeable, etc. but she is dumb. Now imagine taking an intelligent person/genious/and making them appear dumb/ wouldn't that be something; like when I went to court to have a jury trial; the judge said do you have the issue framed for the jury; I said yes; he said well let me see it; I did and to his surprise; he said, Hmmm that's almost it; the part I left off was about the mother's responsibility to pay for the windows that her son broke. But the judge t hen said; well; you are NOT going tohave a jury trial; the jury was ACCIDENTIALLY sent home; how are you going to accidentially send a jury home; The jury was INTENTIONALLY SENT HOME; because the judge decided after all the facts were in; that he wanted to be rewarded for participating in ETHNIC INTIMIDATION; but he was nice; did apologize then said come bace in a month and then said get an attorney; Now why would he tell someone to get an attorney after reading ALL the documents in the file (part of which establish the fact that the little boy breaking my windows was no accident; that it along with the threats/intimidation (which an attorney that I met in court who would not take the case told me that their threatening me to try to keep me from coming out of the housewas criminal) are part of a system of ETHNIC INTIMIDATION and that the little boy was in the process of being trained/being taught to use certain techniques on me as a form of ETHNIC INTIMIDATION; which after thinking about it is what the judge decided to participate in- the attorney by the name of LOVE was in the court the day he reassigned the case; which it offends me.

The bible says that it is better that a millstone be hung around a person's neck and that they be thrown out into the sea than to offend one of God's little ones and I am one of God's little ones; And as I was thinking about that scripture last night; I begin to realize that I wasn't just offended by what the judge and his crew did; but I was offended by the facts that:
1. they murdered my baby brother
2. they murdered my brother under me.
3. they murdered my daddy.
4. they murdered my mamma.
5. they murdered two aunts.
6. they murdered two or more male cousins.
7. they murdered numerous relationships.
8. they have basically murdered my life-because of my not participating in ETHNIC INTIMIDATION; people have used the concept; practice and techniques on me.

After reading about TORT law ETHNIC INTIMIDATION is ILLEGAL; but so what if the people like the judge who are suppose to protect people from people who use ETHNIC INTIMIDATION TECHNIQUES are the same ones who are using them; which is where white males pay people to dog out African Americans/male and females who do not/will not yield to white males intimidation to abuse other people. The judge told me to get an attorney; only problem is that the attorney's are practiing ETHNIC INTIMIDATION=they know if they don't dog African American people out who aren't participating in ETHNIC INTIMIDATION that they will be the recipiant of ETHNIC INTIMIDATION; thus that is why even in court; the attorney LOVE along with about four other AfricanAmerican attorney's said YOU NEED HELP; but when I asked them to take the case; NO! NO! and all had excuses and I have been to the attorney LOVE before and even though I had a good case he said NO! he couldn't take the case. About the only way I will get an attorney in the United States is if they are really a GOD fearing person or the court orders an attorney to represent me.

And the other reason that the judge told me I need an attorney is because he KNOWS how WICKED their court system is; meaning like when the city set me up on the bus; had the bus driver to lie that I threw a penny at her; charged me; said that I had two hours for someone to bring me money and if they hadn't to put me behind bars; then after an hour and fourty-five minutes had passed allowed me to make the call for money (KNOWING it was going to take someone more that fifteen minutes to bring money and then conviently put me behind bars (which was part of the education of who they really are-and what they can really do; all in the guise of the law.

Also on 12/2/10 on the way walking back to house; saw one unmarked authority vehicle and one coming out of the street that I have to walk to get home (balck with she------ on it)=?

If a person can't walk down the street in peace=what is that?

After asking the head librarian numerous times to have whoever(she said the pages) to please remove the books after I look at them becuase I have to put the books back if I want to sit at the same place and need space; again the books have been left on the table; so told the head libraian if she went to a web site about stalking she would find out that those of elements of stalking; for someone to leave something for the person as if to say I KNOW where you are at or are going to be; which oneof t he females is trying to do. Took pictures yesterday and to today to show that they are intentionally leaving the books; also informed the head librarian that from my observation there have been NO OTHER books/magazines have left out for anybody else;told her I don't want the attention; please have whoever to reselve books(basically law) in a proper fashion as they would do anybody else.

On 12/2/10 went to go and use a dollar=it ws gone; somehow they got in my bookbag and stole the dollar; so I called and requested prayer; today a few minutes ago; black couple came in; had to pay a dollar to get a library card=? then while standing outside in the foyer(sp) eating my lunch; there appeared a black male tall=who took out a dollar and put it in right pocket as if to send a message; I went to use the restroom; when I came back out he was standing where I was standing in an intimidating manner; I took three pictures of him.

This morning onthe way to the Winston-Salem library this morning and on the way; called some churches and told them I would be walking from point a to point b; they suggested tha I call the authorities if I was having problems with people; told them they already know; that the jews couldn't call the authorities; about seven to eight minutes later; there appeared two authority cars; one going east/turned right on b----------drive and one going west turning left onto b----------driveor vice versa; then a UPS truck going east came after the car going east.

After I got to the library three hispanics came in sat on computers where I was sitting; then one got up and came and put some trash in the the trash can; which for the first time I noticed it beside the table where I usually sit; usually the trash can is at the four tables where children sit after school=? Asked the librarian if she could move the trash can; that way they don't have a reason to come near me or my things; she was relunctant; but eventually did it; so don't know what I will get when I walk home; because I am NOT participating in their shit.

Also when I went to court on Wensday, the judge told the father of the girl whose son broke my windows that he would grant an motion; but I never heard the motion; the judge said I guess I will grant the motion and dismiss the father of the girl and the girl's sister from the suit; they both said thank you your honor; but I never heard a conversation so that means that the judge spoke to them without my being in their presence;which is not allowed in a court of law; the judge is not to speak to either side unless both are present; So what do I do? and the clerk in the court would not allow me to file as an indigent; meaning I don't have the money to move the case forward=? after filing for over ten years as an indigent=? Why=harassment/communication amongst the ? that someone has said it is okay to harass the plaintiff; that is usually someone in the person's family; wonder who that would be?

Tort law=person can attack and be found innocent!
And the one dollar that they stole; I prayed that God would let death seize upon the ones who took it and the ones who are participating in the system that they are operating (with the exception of !!!!!!); thus hope they enjoy the fruits that the dollar generates and I am offended about the dollar and the fact that I can't walk a few blocks to the library in peace and God said that it is better that it is better that a millsone be hung around their nect and they be cast into the sea than to offend one of his little ones and I am one of his little ones=a child of God!!!!

Heard that one of the BIG people suppose to be in winston-salem, NorthCArolina today about ECONOMICS; which has been an ISSUE with Socialpeacest obtaining PEACE while LIVING and declaring the glory of the LORD (one that created heaven and earth)=? And the attorney was right; there is a TORT law that allows people to attack people who are harassing them=? also came to the library where I had looked at some law books three days ago; and they are still on the table; but STACKED nice and neat like sending a message; when I asked the lady in charge(------m-) why they were still there she said one of the pages had probably left the books=? I said, "three days?' she said I guess. So I asked her if she could located the book because I didn't see it; she was very, very, very relunctant to go and look at the law encyclopedias; when she did, she went and got a childrens's book about BEARS, and scary creature bears by Gerald Legg kept it hunged to her body=?; (WITCHCRAFT)!!!! -She left them there as a form of witch craft=!!!! And to leave some books off of a shelf; not once but she has done it before is STALKING; their job is to reshelve books as patrons use them; she does not know me like that; STALKING BEHAVIOR INCLUDES:
1. Waiting at the victim's workplace or in their neighborhood
2. Placing messages in the media
3. Surveillance:-persistently watching the individual

All three have occured at the local/main/community library=Why are they so cncerned with controlling somebody's life; I do not conversate with them!!!

ALSO WHILE WALKING UP THE STREET TO THE LIBRARY; THERE APPEARED my FIRST TIME EVER NOTICING TWO WHITE MALES IN UNMARKED CARED WITH AUTHORIZED UNIFORMS ON had the word begining with "P" (SCARY); are the legal or not???? most African americans are not going to asked them; part of the system used to intimidate African Americans!!!!!

12/1/2010
On 11/30/10 called lady trying to get job with and told her that I didn't have the money to send the application; she told me to take it to one of the local head people just around the corner; because the person is their friend(one of the people who put me off of education property for no reason) and the lady who I am applying to work for is located in Greensoboro( see how the circle widen)=?

Then I went to court and what ; to have ajury trial wouldn't you KNOW it; THEY ACCIDENTILY let the jury go early; topld them that there was nothing else for them to decide; hummmmm thus when I walk in the court room and the judge-white male-think he nice; but when it comes to them protection their (white system); they forget that they are nice (all niggers to the rear); said come backlater (gave a date=I already KNEW = 2ND time=(all niggers not good enouogh: 2ND class; EXCPET THEIR SLAVES=Blacks who work in thier system of ethnic intimidation.

Let not in court files after the couort clerk informs me that she is NOTY going to allow me to file aS AN INDIGENT=WHICH i HAVE FILED AS AN INDIGENT FOR OVER 10 YEARS; basically the same information; nothing has changed except there is presently NO INCOME.; also part of the system; I files to have a court hearing to have a temporary and permanant injuction so that the boy and his mamie next door; and the people who go next door can't say anthing to me; and since the judge informed me that only the money for the windows will be addressed in his court(protecting their black pets- the did not have an attorney; and neither did I; but as the judge said when he asked me if I had the issue for the jury and I presented it; he said it is awfully close to the issue.

Saiud he would allow the first issue; did the little boy break the windows; but not the 2ND was the mother teaching ehtnic intimidation; told him that since they lie; that was the basis and foundation to prove my case; The judge said that he had read everything in the file; I know lthat is why he wouldn't allow the 2nd issue; becaus that is how his bread is buttered; In the file was lthe fact that a local university is ssresponsible for the development of the system of thnic intimidation associated with juvinile deliquents; last week filed lpaper where relative had wrote down the contact number with the person in charge of the juvinile deliquent department who works in a lead job in the city; and the fact fact the the girl next doors father retired from the city and that his grandson has the same name as a famous film maker (he had to promise to help them in ethnic intimidation or die; ;he chose to help them with ethnic intimidation;as a result retired from the city); also included report from the local univeristy that ws done on juvinile deliquency and how it coincided with the growth of the little boy niext door=how lthey intend to get paid off the illegal activity of the little boy.
