    IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ, USMJ, the Judge and Magistrate of this action, without any

    waiver directed or implied to further disqualifications.3

    I THE MOTIONS

    These motions are brought against BARBARA M.G. LYNN, JUDGE and

    IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ, USMJ, ( i.) for engaging in a pattern ofconduct that is incompatible with the trust and confidence placed in

    them as a Federal judge and Federal magistrate, ( ii.) and for engaging in

    a pattern of corrupt conduct that demonstrates unfitness to serve as a

    United States District Court Judge.

    1.1 This motion is initially raised for the voluntary recusal of BARBARA M.G. LYNN,

    JUDGE and IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ, USMJ, whose behavior does not comport with the

    Code of Conduct for United States Judges inclusive of the prevailing opinions on recusal

    issued by the Codes of Conduct Committee of the Judicial Conference of the United States4

    where rule governing cause to recuse is identified under 28 U.S.C. 144 for such an5

    alarming and destructive pattern of conduct including but not limited to the abuse of

    authority, where such acts are not subject to immunity, limited or otherwise.

    1.2 Plaintiff attaches hereto below in this filing, verification by affidavit stating that

    the facts and reasons incorporated herein, supporting the belief that there is bias and

    prejudice in accord with U.S. v. Burger, 964 F.2d 1065, 1070 (10th Cir. 1992).

    1.3 FURTHER, Plaintiff seeks the dissolution and vacation of all findings and orders

    (...continued)2

    disinterested, lay observer fully informed of the facts underlying the grounds on which recusal was soughtwould entertain a significant doubt about the judge's impartiality. United States v. Scrushy, 721 F.3d 1288,1303 (11th Cir.2013) (citations and internal quotation marks omitted). [emphasis added]

    U.S.C. 455. Recusal under 455 includes all federal judges, the grounds in subsection (a) are waivable3

    only after full disclosure on the record, the grounds in subsection (b) are not waivable, and the party is notlimited to one motion.

    The D.C. Circuit has stated that [t]he Code of Conduct is the law with respect to the ethical obligations of4

    federal judges. United States v. Microsoft Corp., 253 F.3d 34, 113 (D.C. Cir. 2001).

    [A]ny doubts must be resolved in favor of recusal. Patti, 337 F.3d at 1321, infra.5

    issued by BARBARA M.G. LYNN, JUDGE and IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ, USMJ holding them

    as void for the reasons discussed below based on the relevant filings and applicable law.

    The orders, dismissals, and rulings issued by BARBARA M.G. LYNN, JUDGE and

    IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ, USMJ should be DECLARED VOIDand STRICKENfrom the

    record of the Court in this case as the rulings and orders are fraught with bias, prejudice,

    and issued in violation of law and thusly void as a matter of law resulting out of the Judge

    and Magistrate alarming and destructive pattern of conduct.

    1.4 AND FURTHER, that a Stay of Proceedingsissue, until such time of filings and

    rulings of Judicial Complaints filed pursuant to the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act of

    1980, 28 U.S.C. 372(c) in the United States Court 5 Circuit Court of Appeals/JudicialTH

    Council against BARBARA M.G. LYNN, JUDGE, submitted by the Plaintiffs, members of the

    various bars, judicial review organizations, and interested parties among public.

    1.5 ADDITIONALLY, that the stay include such time as necessary for the completion

    of submission of complaints for review by the Chief Judge and in a tribunal for the

    Northern District for disciplinary actions or removal of Magistrate

    IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ.

    1.6 LASTLY, the pattern violative acts and omissions of law and rule demonstrated by

    BARBARA M.G. LYNN, JUDGE and IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ, USMJ in conduct prejudicial

    to the effective administration of the business of the court and their pattern of abusive

    behavior has brought the undeserved disrepute upon the federal judiciary and particularly

    the courts of the Northern District, especially following the disciplinary action against

    Judge John H. McBryde by the judicial council for the Fifth Circuit. In distinction to the

    sitting jurists of the Northern District, Magistrate Judge Ramirezs decorum and judicial

    behavior should not be allowed as a detractor of the Northern District of Texas, nor our

    Circuit, nor taint the trust of the public in our judiciary.

    1.7 AND RESULTING THEREFROM, Plaintiffs being aware of the Judges and

    Magistrates engaged misconduct, malfeasance, and acts of moral turpitude, entreated

    nonprofit nonpartisan organizations, members of the House of Representatives (as

    sponsors), and fellow citizens from the several states, to sponsor, or otherwise petition for

    a determination of competency and maladministration of the Judge and Magistrate by a

    tribunal. Whereby, if individually found competent, and not disabled, the action against

    BARBARA M.G. LYNN, JUDGE should proceed to impeachment or disciplinary action by the

    Judicial Council on the merits of the Petitions and Judicial Complaints. IRMA CARRILLO6

    RAMIREZ, USMJ, should be brought before a tribunal assembled by the Chief Judge to

    determine the disciplinary action or removal.

    II FOREWORD

    Chicago Judge Gets 10 Years In Bribe Case in F.B.I. Inquiry

    AP Published: August 9, 1984 [reporting events relating to the sweeping investigation Operation Greylord]

    CHICAGO, Aug. 8 Federal District Judge Charles Kocoras imposed the sentence on

    Associate Judge John Murphy of Cook County, who was convicted June 14 of 24 counts of

    mail fraud, racketeering and extortion after a 10-day trial.

    ''At some point you became an infidel to the cause of justice,''Judge Kocoras said. ''it would demean yours and my highoffice if a substantial penalty was not imposed for your

    substantial prostitution of it.''

    Under the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act of 1980 and Title 28, U.S. Code, Section 351(a), any person6

    may file a complaint against a judge for conduct that contravenes court processes.

    on related criminal charges as well as those RICO Defendants which took part in the

    ongoing conspiracy and acts of racketeering. The essence of this RICO complaint is based

    on, inter alia , two-hundred one (201) predicate crimes committed by the RICO Defendants;

    the aforementioned, all supported by verified and manifest evidence before this Court,

    hence filed in the Record through the Clerk of the Court for the Northern District of Texas,

    Dallas Division.

    Prostitution of the Bench

    Quandary of the Early Conditions

    3.6 Shortly after the filing of this suit on 08/21/2011 Plaintiffs filed motion and brief

    in support (Doc. 10, 11 respectively) to extend the time for service and alternate service. It

    wasnt until 02/01/2012 that an order (Doc. 12, sealed) for service was granted in part

    and denied in part w/directives, by RAMIREZ. This event began RAMIREZs noticeable

    campaign to delay, interfere and inflate the cost of litigation by delaying service. Magistrate

    Ramirez withheld service of the defendants for just over five months. Plaintiffs grew

    suspicious of court scheduling after examining the dockets of other judges courts and

    found other courts with similarly loaded dockets. None had any indications of the

    instituted delays of service as could be attributed to those imposed upon the Plaintiffs by

    RAMIREZ.

    3.7 A re-examination for the circumstances and events of that surround these early

    events reveal:

    The Dilemma of the Later Developments

    3.8 On or about March 18, 2012, Plaintiffs became wary of the Magistrates and

    Judges complicity in the cover-up of certain criminal activities by RICO Defendants.

    Plaintiffs observed that the same criminal influence was being extended into this Court and

    corrupting its orderly, impartiality and propriety administration of the Court though

    Case 3:11-cv-00726-M-BH Document 394 Filed 03/19/14 Page 6 of 27 PageID 4532

  • 7/22/2019 Doc. 394 -- Recusal of Judge Lynn and Rameriz -Disqualification - Mtn for Stay

    7/27

    RAMIREZ and LYNN.

    3.9 Plaintiffs anticipated the continuance of that criminal influence through other

    observations and that it was enviable that disqualification would be warranted. It then

    became necessary to establish and memorialize formal manifest evidence in order to

    withstand attack where might a recusal or disqualification decision turn on Pattior Scrushy

    (supra, p. 2 fn 2). The Plaintiffs engaged the participation of disinterested third party

    organizations to observe and present the facts of this case relating this resulting recusal

    and disqualification to lay individuals, to determine:

    whether an objective, disinterested, lay observer fully informed of thefacts underlying the grounds on which recusal was sought would

    entertain a significant doubt about the judge's impartiality. Scrushy, id.

    3.10 In order to memorialize the candid observations and statements and affidavits,

    of lay observer[s] they were to be taken and documented; the evidence, therefrom, to

    substantiate by empirical evidence, from a body of lay observers, the criteria necessary to

    prove up and establish the stated legal requirement of Scrushy. These observations were

    then to be memorialized within Judicial Complaints to the Fifth Circuit (Judicial Council)

    and included in Petitions for Impeachment.

    Abuse of Authority - High Crimes and Misdemeanors

    3.11 The unlawful acts intentionally committed by RAMIREZ through her

    unmitigated bias and the furtherance of that bias through the collusion of LYNN exhibited

    aberrant judicial behavior and unlawful extra-judicial acts against the Plaintiffs. Their

    behavior clearly rises to the level of malicious misconduct and malfeasance in violation of

    ! 18 U.S. Code 242 - Deprivation of rights under color of law.

    ! 18 U.S. Code 241 - Conspiracy against rights.

    ! Deprivation of Honest Services (Honest Services Doctrine) The Supreme Court of

    the United States in the case of Skilling v. United Statesruled to avoid finding the

    statute to be unconstitutionally vague. The Court interpreted the statute to only cover

    "fraudulent schemes to deprive another of honest services through bribes or

    kickbacks supplied by a third party who ha[s] not been deceived."8

    In 1988, Congress enacted a new law that specifically criminalized schemes to defraud

    victims of "the intangible right of honest services."9

    3.12 There is substantial evidence that BARBARA M.G. LYNN, JUDGE and IRMA

    CARRILLO RAMIREZ purposely and intentionally ignored RICO Defendant criminal activity

    in the Court and advocated in behalf of Defendants egregious behavior and those criminal

    acts by more than one or more of the now criminally indited RICO Defendants and

    co-conspirators. Such said behavior and acts include fraud upon the Court, and instances of

    perjured affidavits submitted by various RICO Defendants.

    8Skilling v. United States, 130 S.Ct. 2896

    The Ninth Circuit acknowledged that the Fifth Circuits requirement of a violation of state law to support9

    an honest services fraud conviction served the objectives of: giving public officials fair notice of what conductwould subject them to federal prosecution; minimizing the potential for selective enforcement against publicofficials; and limiting the influence federal prosecutors would have over state and local public ethicsstandards. Nevertheless, the Ninth Circuit joined the majority of circuits, including the First, Fourth andEleventh, holding that 1346 prescribes a uniform federal standard for honest services, neither tethered tonor limited by applicable state statutes, even though those circuits could not agree on the precise contours ofthat standard. The Ninth Circuit found no evidence that Congress had intended to condition the meaning ofhonest services on state law or that it intended the criminality of official conduct under federal law todepend on geography. It also reasoned that Congress has a legitimate interest in ensuring that legitimatestate action affecting federal priorities (such as energy policy) is not improperly influenced and that Congressability to protect federal interests through the federal fraud statutes should not be unduly hampered by thevagaries of and variations between state ethics laws.

    The Ninth Circuit concluded that, in reinstating the honest services doctrine after McNally[McNally v. UnitedStates, 483 U.S. 350 (1987)], Congress intended to bring at least two core categories of official misconductwithin the reach of 1346, regardless of whether a state law had been violated: (1) taking a bribe orotherwise being paid for a decision while purporting to be exercising independent discretion and (2)nondisclosure of material information. Accordingly, the district courts exclusion order was reversed andthe government was free to proceed with its prosecution of Weyhrauch for honest services fraud. However,the Ninth Circuit made it clear that it was expressing no opinion on what effect, if any, state law would have ifit expressly condoned or excused the conduct involved in the federal prosecution of a public official or on therole of state law in honest services fraud prosecutions in the private context. The full text of the Ninth Circuitdecision can be found at United States v. Weyhrauch, 548 F.3d 1247 (9th Cir. 2008).

    Malice Aforethought and Abuse of Authority

    3.13 By RAMIREZs and LYNNs acquiescence, acceptance and failure to act upon

    these instances of perjured affidavits and falsified documents which were known by them

    to be falsified and/or perjured, in motions presented by certain RICO Defendants. The

    falsified documents were challenged by the Plaintiffs for their veracity, and shown to be

    perjured. Nonetheless, they were accepted as true by the RAMIREZ and LYNN in spite of

    their obvious falsification. The failure to act on the crimes and disallow the perjured

    affidavits by RAMIREZ and LYNN, violated the rights and protections of the Due Process

    Clause of the U.S. Constitution which entitles a person to an impartial and disinterested

    tribunal in all cases.

    3.14 Judge and Magistrate, by extra-judicial action for which they had no authority to

    undertake, violated statutory requirements of the Federal Rules, where directive was

    mandatory and provided for no discretion whatsoever to the Court to rule otherwise.

    RAMIREZ intentionally and purposefully violated, with malice aforethought, the statutory

    requirement to uphold and enforce Rule 11. In the stead of Rule and Law, RAMIREZ

    manufactured unconstitutional law to benefit a RICO Defendant that had never made an

    appearance in the instant action. It is clearly evident that RAMIREZ intended to advocate

    for that RICO Defendant. This violation of law was sanctioned by LYNN, who knew it to be

    unlawful, and was fully aware that the same issue had been adjudicated in this same Court

    previously by Jeff Kaplan, USMJ, in accordance with rule and law, and contrary to the

    violation by RAMIREZ and LYNN. See Plaintiffs Motion to Strike, &c.(Doc. 357 Filed

    06/10/13)

    3.15 Further, RAMIREZ and LYNN became pro-active in their prejudice against the

    Plaintiffs shortly after the appearance of RICO Defendants Scott Koster and John Childs.

  • 7/22/2019 Doc. 394 -- Recusal of Judge Lynn and Rameriz -Disqualification - Mtn for Stay

    10/27

    Thereafter the Judge and Magistrate began wielding their abuse of power as a weapon of

    their cabal ministryto unlawfully interfere and obstruct the Plaintiffs discovery in the

    behalf of the RICO Defendants in an unlawful manner never seen in the Northern District

    nor the Fifth Circuit previously.

    3.16 Never in the history of the U.S. Fifth Circuit trial courts has there been presented

    in a Racketeering case so comprehensive a pleading supported such extensive verified

    prima facie evidence. And, never has any member of the trial court judiciary of the inferior

    courts since Associate Justice Robert W. Archbald, Judge George W. English, Judge Alcee

    Hastings, Chief Judge Walter Nixon, Judge Samuel B. Kent, and Judge Thomas Porteous,

    been so flagrant in the abuse of power now exhibited in this case.

    3.17 Plaintiffs file this motion asking Judge BARBARA M.G. LYNN and Magistrate

    IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ, USMJ to recuse themselves because of their malfeasance and

    misconduct, where the Plaintiffs are sure to testify against them in future proceedings.

    3.18 For these reasons, the Judge and Magistrate cannot be impartial arbiters where

    such cannot be legally justified and will conflict with the law arising under 28 U.S.C. 144 -

    Bias or prejudice of judge:

    Whenever a party to any proceeding in a district court makes and files

    a timely and sufficient affidavit that the judge before whom the matter

    is pending has a personal bias or prejudice either against him or in favor

    of any adverse party, such judge shall proceed no further therein, but

    another judge shall be assigned to hear such proceeding.

    The affidavit shall state the facts and the reasons for the belief that bias

    or prejudice exists, and shall be filed not less than ten days before thebeginning of the term at which the proceeding is to be heard, or good

    cause shall be shown for failure to file it within such time. A party may

    file only one such affidavit in any case. It shall be accompanied by a

    certificate of counsel of record stating that it is made in good faith.

    IV MEMORANDUM STATEMENT OF FACTS AND SUPPLEMENTAL LAW

    4.1 The circumstances and facts which surround this case are substantial at the very

    least. The Internet has given rise to a modern form of organized crime that has made

    significant departures from the conventional mid Twentieth Century Gangs. The modern

    Internet racketeering form is far more global reaching and behavior more akin to the

    Russian Mafia which is more dynamic and amorphous than is the well-established Italian

    Mafia which adheres to an astringent hierarchy. This difference makes the Internet-based

    gangster more effective and illusive to track without the use of sophisticated digital and

    network forensic tools.

    Prosecution of Mobsters in the Flourishing Modern Organized Crime Industryand Those of the Instant Cause

    4.2 The modern Internet gangster are aware of the difficulty of mounting a successful

    civil suit or even criminal action against them. Likewise, they have even less fear of state or

    federal authorities assisting their victims. They know well that complainants will rarely

    get past the intake officer of any agency. The indifference to individual citizen complaints

    to officials in federal agencies, assures the modern criminal their crimes will pay off. A

    recent example, is, after the many red flags that might have tipped officials off to Bernie

    Madoffs fraud, and eight SEC investigations over sixteen years, Madoff was not caught.10

    4.3 The initial activities of the various criminal organizations involved in this case

    have evolved, for the most part, around 2005, though a number of individuals have been

    engaged in criminal activities years earlier. The Plaintiffs have been involved in or aided a

    Madoff Chasers Dug for Years, to No Avail Regulators Probed at Least 8 Times Over 16 Years; Congress10

    number of criminal investigations since 2009. Their suit has been the bench mark of a

    number of criminal and civil suits, using evidence from this case including affidavits and

    other information to establish criminal prosecutions.

    4.4 Most recently, a number of defendants identified in this case have been indicted

    on criminal charges related to the issues in this case. More are expected in 2014, to wit:

    RICO Defendants & Co-conspirators Involved with Recusal/Disqualification

    4.5 Jon Divens, Attorney at Law, as RICO Defendant and

    affiliated with Law Offices of Jon Divens & Assoc. LLC a RICO Enterprise.

    ! Engaged in fraud upon the Court by presenting fraudulent

    statements in his answer (Doc. 163) to the Plaintiffs Second

    Amended Complaint. His fraud and falsifications were

    challenged by Plaintiffs with proof of the frauds and11

    ! John Childs attorneys suborned the perjury in each filing even though Plaintiffs

    had identified his perjury to the Court, thus both failing to recant given theopportunity. Other government authorities have used the Flores/Clarkson suit

    affidavit information, inter alia, to prove that John Childs had perjured himself in

    other courts. (e.g., see Exhibit 301) Flores and Clarkson plead and proved-up the

    perjuries of Childs claim that he never did any business outside California. The

    Plaintiffs prove-up showed that he did and the Grand Jury in Alabama, using

    other information as well as the Flores/Clarkson evidence and pleadings from

    the Flores/Clarkson perjury claims against Childs. (See Doc. 71 and 72.)

    Koster but he remains at large.

    ! Koster was chiefly responsible for working with Mark Alan Gelazela, Jon Divensand Francis Wilde to purchase a $5 Billion financial instrument of which $66

    Million belongs to the Plaintiffs. The instrument matured during the prosecution

    of this suit in which RAMIREZ orchestrate an elaborate delay scheme and the

    purposeful delay of the discovery process in which the Plaintiffs could not

    subpoena records for the SBLC issued by HSBC for the matured bond.

    Eventually, RAMIREZ and LYNN conspired to deny all discovery such that

    Plaintiffs were refused the entirety of their due process rights for the discovery

    process. RAMIREZ and LYNN were fully aware of the need of discovery in a case

    as complex as the one at hand and worked together to insure the complete

    denial of Plaintiffs due process rights.

    ! RAMIREZ and LYNN were fully aware of the numerous off-shore bank accounts

    held by the various RICO Defendants because those accounts had been

    presented to the Court in evidence by the Plaintiffs. Also, RAMIREZ and LYNN

    were fully aware of the large funds held by the Defendants at various times.

    continually ignored by Childs and not enforced by IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ.

    ! IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ continued in her pattern of persistent efforts to

    prevent or otherwise hinder Plaintiffs discovery efforts by staying discovery,

    unfiling Plaintiffs multiple motions to compel discovery, and ordering the delay

    of Plaintiffs discovery efforts by one-hundred days.

    information as the Plaintiffs had placed into evidence that information. Both the

    Judge and Magistrate was aware that Gelazela had a New Zealand bank account

    which was disclosed in the SEC case depositions and presented to the Court by

    the Plaintiffs. Gelazela disclosed where he transferred and held money.

    ! By RAMIREZs and LYNNs conspiracy to deny the Plaintiffs due process right to

    discovery they intentionally protected Gelazelas banking accounts and funds.

    With malice aforethought, RAMIREZ and LYNN insured that any of the monies

    that Gelazela had laundered in New Zealand were protected from exposure by

    the Plaintiffs, which insured the opportunity and time for Gelazela to move anyill-gotten funds elsewhere.

    ii.) an e-mail address of the Signer, nor iii.) a telephone number of the purported Signer

    affixed to Doc. 216 for which the signer is required to affix to any document submitted to

    the Court in order to be a valid pleading pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule

    11(a) which requires the signers address, e-mail address, and telephone number to be

    affixed to the pleading:

    Signature. Every pleading, written motion, and other paper

    4.18 The Rule does not make any allowances for discretion. None whatsoever. Given the

    facts that attach, any ruling to the contrary is purposeful, malicious and illegal because both

    the magistrate and judge were bound by oath, the Cannons relating to judicial conduct, the

    Constitution and statutes to uphold the rule of law. Both RAMIREZ and LYNN freely chose to

    RICO conspiracy.

    4.19 If per chance the signer was Gelazela, which is doubtful, the RAMIREZ/LYNN

    purported motion to dismiss document could not meet Constitutional muster of a valid motion

    in any case. The signer of the purported motion to dismiss letter, had a personal

    responsibility to comply with the pleading requirements which included revealing the signers

    identity, location, and contact information by conforming to specifications Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a):

    4.20 Because Plaintiffs had filed an objection that has extensively presented Rule 1114

    with prevailing precedents explaining the Rule explicitly, both RAMIREZ and LYNN had

    foreknowledge sufficient to prevent them from committing a violation of law. Both chose to

    proceed with the violation and commit criminal acts colluding with the RICO conspiracy and

    each committing two predicate crimes directly related to the RICO case before them.

    4.21 Because they used or caused the use of the Court electronic ECF system to

    propagate their fraud upon the Court, they each committed numerous instances of wire fraud.

    4.26 Courts refusal to allow Plaintiffs discovery, has clearly prejudiced them in

    efforts to prove jurisdiction as well as the merits of their case.

    When the defendant disputes the factual bases for jurisdiction, as W&S does

    here, the court may receive interrogatories, depositions, or "any combination of

    the recognized methods of discovery" to help it resolve the jurisdictional issue.

    The court has discretion as to the type and amount of discovery to allow. Buteven if the court receives discovery materials, unless there is a full and fair

    hearing, it should not act as a fact finder and must construe all disputed facts in

    the plaintiff's favor and consider them along with the undisputed facts.

    Moreover, at this stage the plaintiff is required to present only a prima facie case

    for personal jurisdiction. The Ninth Circuit has explained why:

    If the court determines that it will receive only affidavits or affidavits

    Case 3:11-cv-00726-M-BH Document 394 Filed 03/19/14 Page 22 of 27 PageID 4548

  • 7/22/2019 Doc. 394 -- Recusal of Judge Lynn and Rameriz -Disqualification - Mtn for Stay

    23/27

    plus discovery materials, these very limitations dictate that a plaintiff

    must make only a prima facie showing of jurisdictional facts through the

    submitted materials in order to avoid a defendant's motion to dismiss.

    Any greater burden such as proof by a preponderance of the evidence

    would permit a defendant to obtain a dismissal simply by controverting

    the facts established by a plaintiff through his own affidavit andsupporting materials.

    Ultimately, the plaintiff must show by a preponderance of the evidence that jurisdiction

    is proper. Often, the determination of whether this standard is met is resolved at trial

    along with the merits. This is especially likely when the jurisdictional issue is

    intertwined with the merits and therefore can be determined based on jury fact

    findings.

    In this situation, it is often "preferable that [the jurisdictional] determination be

    made at trial, where a plaintiff may present his case in a coherent, orderly fashion

    and without the risk of prejudicing his case on the merits." But this court has

    said that after a pretrial evidentiary hearing confined to the jurisdictional issue,

    where both sides have the opportunity to present their cases fully, the district court

    can decide whether the plaintiff has established jurisdiction by a preponderance of

    the evidence. The district court relied on these cases and required Delasa to

    establish more than a prima facie case for personal jurisdiction because, in its

    estimation, it was deciding the jurisdictional issue following an evidentiary hearing.

    This was error. Walk Haydel & Associates v. Coastal Power Prod.517 F.3d 235

    (2008) (footnotes omitted)

    The continuous and extraordinary interference with due process and the

    proper administration of the Court were wholly the criminal calculus of

    malice aforethought by Magistrate Judge IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ and

    Judge BARBARA M.G. LYNN.

    4.27 The Due Process Clause of the U.S. Constitution entitles a person to an impartial

    and disinterested tribunal in all cases. Caperton v. A.T. Massey Coal Co., 556 U.S. 868, 876

    (2009); Marshall v. Jerrico, Inc., 446 U.S. 238, 242 (1980).

    4.28 The purpose of this motion to recuse, asks a judge and magistrate to remove

    themselves from the case so another judge can hear it. The Due Process Clause of the U.S.

    Constitution entitles the Plaintiffs, as well as all parties, to an impartial and disinterested

    tribunal in both civil and criminal cases, and it may serve as the basis for recusal. See

    Caperton v. A. T. Massey Coal Co., 556 U.S. 868,889 (2009); Marshall v. Jerrico, Inc., 446 U.S.

    238, 242 (1980). The Due Process Clause, however, provides only the "outer boundaries"

    of judicial disqualification, and Congress and the states can impose more rigorous

    standards. Caperton, 556 U.S. at 889;Aetna life Ins. v. Lavoie, 475 U.S. 813, 828 (1986).

    4.29 A judge should recuse himself or herself if the judges impartiality might

    reasonably be questioned. 28 U.S.C. 455(a); In re Kensington Intl, 368 F.3d 289, 301 (3d

    Cir. 2004); United States v. Microsoft Corp., 253 F.3d 34, 114-15 (D.C. Cir. 2001). Recusal is

    proper if a court determines that a reasonable person would perceive a significant risk that

    the judge will resolve the case on a basis other than the merits. See Sao Paolo State of

    Federative Republic of Braz. v. Am. Tobacco Co., 535 U.S. 229, 232-33 (2002); Liljeberg v.

    Health Servs. Acquisition Corp., 486 U.S. 847, 865-67 (1988).

    4.30 The personal bias or prejudice of the Judge and Magistrate will deprive Plaintiffs

    of a fair trial in violation of the Due Process Clause. See Caperton, 556 U.S. at 872; Marshall,

    446 U.S. at 242-43.

    4.31 If a judge has a personal bias or prejudice against a party, in favor of an adverse

    party, or about the subject matter of the suit, the Judge and Magistrate should recuse

    themselves. See, 28 U.S.C. {144/455(b)(1)}; also Sao Paolo State of Federative Republic of

    Braz. v. Am. Tobacco Co., 535 U.S. 229, 232-33 (2002). The Court should grant Plaintiffs

    motion to recuse for the following reasons:

    4.32 Judge BARBARA M.G. LYNNS and Magistrate IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ, USMJ

    bias and prejudice is directed against both Plaintiffs. See Gilbert v. City of Little Rock, Ark.,

    722 F.2d 1390, 1398-99 (8th Cir. 1983).

    4.33 Judge BARBARA M.G. LYNNS and Magistrate IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ should

    recuse themselves for the following reasons:

    4.33.1 There is a reasonable factual basis for calling the judges impartiality into

    question. See United States v. Avilez-Reyes, 160 F.3d 258, 259 (5th Cir. 1998);

    Nichols v. Alley, 71 F.3d 347, 351-52 (10th Cir. 1995).

    4.33.2 The judge and magistrate have exhibited actions from which a reasonable

    inference of partiality may be drawn. See United States v. Cooley, 1 F.3d 985, 993

    (10th Cir. 1993).

    4.33.3 If the judge and magistrate do not recuse themselves, the publics

    confidence in the judiciary will be irreparably harmed. Alexander v. Primerica

    Holdings, Inc., 10 F.3d 155, 162 (3d Cir. 1993).

    4.33.4 A reasonable person, knowing all the relevant facts, would harbor doubts

    about the judges impartiality.Alexander, 10 F.3d at 164; Cooley, 1 F.3d at 993.

    V CONCLUSION

    5.1 Because BARBARA M.G. LYNN, JUDGE and IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ, USMJ,

    exhibited bias and prejudice by their abuse of authority and process, their continued

    presence in the Court will prevent the Plaintiffs from receiving a fair trial, thusly,

    BARBARA M.G. LYNN, JUDGE and IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ, USMJ should recuse

    themselves or otherwise be disqualified.

    WHEREFORE THE FOREGOING PREMISES CONSIDERED, if the Judge and Magistrate

    refuse to recuse, Plaintiff asks the presiding judge to refer this motion to another judge for

    a resolution on the merits or otherwise remove BARBARA M.G. LYNN, JUDGE and

    IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ, USMJ from the case pursuant to 455; that orders, dismissals,

    and rulings issued by BARBARA M.G. LYNN, JUDGE and IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ, USMJ

    be DECLARED VOIDand STRICKENfrom the record of the Court; that a stay of the

    proceedings issue, except for injunctive relief where property, or disputed property may be

    in jeopardy of loss or where rights or liberty are threatened, or for other good cause, and

    that the stay be in place until such time that Plaintiffs have been released as witnesses for

    the prosecution in the fore-mentioned criminal case pending in Alabama; and for any other

    relief deemed just and proper.

    Respectfully Submitted on Wednesday, March 19, 2014.
