FACTS

The facts supporting this Petition are upon the public record in the RamseyCounty district court case file number 62-C4-06-010365.

On August 12, 2007, Petitioner served a Motion upon the opposing parties in saidcourt case. Petitioner attaches and incorporates said Motion into this Petition and makesrecord of the FACTS stated in said Motion. (See attached Exhibit A).

ARGUMENT

A judge of the district court is a public official, required to swear an Oath ofOffice. In said Oath of Office, the public official must swear that, while holding saidoffice, the judge will not violate the Minnesota and United States constitutions.

Evidence has been brought before this Board of Judicial Standards that the sostated judges have violated their Oaths of Office, in that they have violated thePetitioner’s rights secured by these constitutions.

The legislature is considering a bill that would require the Board to report thelegislature. Pursuant to the Minnesota constitution, the legislature has the authority to

discipline judges, not the judicial branch.

In this Petition before the Board, the necessity for the Board to report to thelegislature is clear. One of the judges Petitioner complains of, Judge Cleary, sits on the“special advisory committee” created by the Minnesota Supreme Court to review theoperations of the Minnesota Judicial Board of Standards.

For this current Board to review and consider the Complaint against Judge Clearyis an enormous conflict of interest, and denial of Petitioner’s constitutionally securedright of redress.

This Board was established to consider complaints of injuries or wrongs done byjudges, against Citizens; as such, to secure that the Citizens have an ability to bringcomplaint, redress, against judges. Because of the conflict of interest, in this Boardconsidering the complaint against Judge Cleary, Petitioner is denied her right of redress,and a fair and impartial tribunal to bring her complaint.

Accordingly, Petitioner demands that the current Board recuse itself from hearingthis petition and complaint; and that this petition and complaint be heard in a differentstate, or be heard, directly, by the legislature.

Petitioner rests.
