Plaintiffs challenge the constitutionality of Rule 1.6 Confidentiality of Information of the Rules of Professional Conduct as the rule causes the complete denial of constitutionally protected rights while subverting justice and corrupting the judiciary.


ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Plaintiffs are NOT petitioning this Honorable Court regarding their legal matters currently before the State court.

The actual information about their cases is provided to demonstrate the necessity of this challenge.

c. abuse of power - intimidation to prevent court reporters from producing transcripts for the Appeal,
d. conspiracy - prothonotary has failed to forward all documents and necessary exhibits to the Superior Court.

11. When Rule 1.6 is applied to the above injustices, they are lawful and a required necessity as they protect the integrity and reputation of the judiciary.

12. From the perspective of the Pro Se litigant constitutionally protect rights have been usurped.

13. A Motion to Compel the Production of Documents is pending with the Superior Court.

14. The Rules of Appellate Procedure require the complete court record to be transmitted to the Superior Court.

JUDICIAL REACTION

30. Rule 1.6 lawfully undermines the judiciary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

31. Rule 1.6 lawfully destroys the integrity and reputation of the judges.

32. The judiciary is clearly placed into a moral and ethical situation where saving the integrity and reputation of the judiciary is more important to society than justice for a Pro Se litigant.

33. Rule 1.6 provides the law to support their decisions which they cannot in good conscience defend or explain.

34. The Pro Se litigant feels victimized because the Pro Se litigant has been victimized without reason or explanation. .

( It became necessary for me to find out exactly where I lost my legal rights )


UP TO THIS POINT IN THIS DOCUMENT I HAVE USED THE PHRASE “RULE 1.6”.

I HAVE DONE SO WITH NECESSITY, A PRO SE LITIGANT REALIZES EVERY WORD IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO BE IGNORED.

RULE 1.6 REFERS TO
“CODE OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT – RULE 1.6 CONFIDENTIALITY OF INFORMATION”


THE CODE OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT.

MY REVIEW OF THE CODE OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT

44. I reviewed the CODE OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT and the effect of the rule for my own understanding.

45. Reducing the code to the most basic statements returned four reasonable phrases which were logical, ethical and reasonable.

Lawyers are required and responsible to report all misconduct; (The Code)
unless it affected the integrity of the judicial system; (Rule 1.6 )
unless it was self-incriminating; (Rule 1.6 )
unless it adversely affected the client. (Rule 1.6 )

46. Each phrase could support it's logical, ethical and reasonable existence.

47. The first phrase actually started on very high ground, but the combined effect was empty as there are no other kinds of misconduct..


MY REVIEW OF MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

48. I reviewed my experience and the lawfulness of everyone's actions and came up with the practical simplified rule as it applied to my case.

Lawyers will take no action which reveals the misconduct of lawyers and judges.
Judges will take no action which reveals the misconduct of lawyers and judges.

49. The Code of Professional Conduct supported my two sentence review, when applied the excuse for the action, or in-action, always pointed to Rule 1.6.


THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE LEGISLATURE

50. Rule 1.6 legally prohibits correction as any effort to correct it would not be lawful.

51. The State Legislature is similarly unable to act to suspend the rule, modify the rule, or adjust the rule.

52. Rule 1.6 lawfully and effectively undermined The Pennsylvania State Legislature.

53. The Rule has a built in “self defense” mechanism which prevents lawful actions to fix the law.

54. Anyone who must follow the Rules of Professional Conduct is lawfully prevented from lawfully taking any action to address this problem.

55. As soon as the law was enacted it was untouchable


THE PROBLEM IS MINE TO FIX

56. Rule 1.6 was my problem. It needed to be fixed.

57. Upon realization that the legislature could not lawfully take action to address Rule 1.6, the Plaintiffs decided to go to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania:
to demonstrate the problem,
to show the necessity of the solution,
to seek out and meet the author,
to request an immediate change.

58. Anyone who could take any action would recognize that their efforts were going to expose misconduct, and as such, they could not lawfully make the change.

59. In order to be lawful, Plaintiff's efforts were going to require precision.


HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA

60. Defendant, Kathleen Kane, Pennsylvania Attorney General, refused to meet with the Plaintiffs.

61. Plaintiffs proceeded to the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court Of Pennsylvania.

62. Paul J. Killion, Chief Disciplinary Counsel was not in the office and unavailable to schedule a meeting.

63. The Plaintiffs left the message of their experience and the necessary resolution in hopes of finding the proper person with whom they could meet.

64. Plaintiff's proceeded to the RULES department seeking and receiving guidance on how to properly format a document requesting a change to a rule.

65. Plaintiff's were informed that Rule 1.6 was not part of that office's responsibility.

66. Plaintiff's proceeded to the Judicial Conduct Board.

67. Robert A. Graci, Chief Counsel, was not in the office and unavailable to schedule a meeting.

68. The Plaintiffs left the message of their experience and the necessary resolution in hopes of finding the proper person with whom they could meet.


THE OVERALL AFFECT OF RULE 1.6

69. Rule 1.6 is obstructing justice, denying justice, preventing access to the courts, denying civil rights, denying constitutional rights and constitutionally protected liberties.

70. Rule 1.6 protects the integrity of the judiciary by sacrificing the integrity of the judiciary.

71. Rule 1.6 protects the reputation of the legal profession by sacrificing the reputation of lawyers.

72. Rule 1.6 has lawfully provided the opportunity to deny the rights of Pro Se litigants.

73. EVERY Pro Se litigant IS NOT SUBJECTED to the loss of civil and constitutional rights.

74. RULE 1.6 DOES NOT MANDATE the denial of the rights of Pro Se litigants.

75. RULE 1.6 allows, endorses, and conceals the denial of the rights of “SELECTED” Pro Se litigants.


CRITERIA FOR LOSS OF CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED RIGHTS

76. ALL citizens of the United States are AT RISK of being affected by this failure in the legal system.

77. ALL litigants in state courts are AT RISK of being affected by this failure in the legal system.

78. The loss of rights is not evident until the litigant attempts to assert their 'lost' rights, at which point the loss is absolute, undeniable, and impossible to address with anyone within the judiciary, or at any level of government, as the judicial and legislative branches are legally prevented from acting to correct Rule 1.6.

79. Certain ordinary criteria must be met to cause the potential for loss.
1. There must be a judicial error, or misconduct, of any degree.
2. One litigant files to proceed Pro Se while the other is represented.

80. It is not important which event occurs first, or at what point in the legal matter one party moves to proceed Pro Se..

81. Once the criteria are met, the Pro Se litigant is as the extreme disadvantage as every failure by the represented party is excused; every opportunity to address it is ignored, denied or prevented.

82. All rules, laws, procedures, orders and due process can be ignored leaving the Pro Se litigant with no recourse.

83. The Code of Professional Conduct (Rule 1.6) can be invoked to protect the failures of the lawyers and the judiciary effortlessly, but the extreme force undermines the Constitutionally protected rights of the Pro Se victim.

84. This risk for loss of rights is ONLY experienced by a Pro Se litigant.

85. It is incomprehensible that a citizen of the United States who has committed no crime can lose everything.

86. The potential ability of a lawyer INTENTIONALLY committing or causing an act of misconduct which triggers the loss of constitutionally protect rights when facing a Pro Se litigant creates a situation which would demand strict actions regarding any misconduct.

87. An attorney facing a Pro Se opponent does not require full knowledge of how this situation occurs to trigger an act of misconduct and undermine their adversary's case.

88. An attorney who committed repeated acts of misconduct would clearly be demonstrating their knowledge of the power of the action, and the failure to realize the redundancy of their repeated misconducts being unnecessary.

89. Plaintiff, Terance Healy, offers the series of acts of extreme and deliberate attorney misconduct on the court record, in the court docket, available in the transcripts of hearings in the matter during hearings in February 2013 which were held improperly during the pendancy of an ignored appeal to seek enforcement of a void order issued during the pendancy of that ignored appeal, where that void order was based on a prior void order, which was further based on a void order for equitable distribution which was based on a void and defective divorce decree.

90. The subsequent Order issued in that matter being Appeal to the Superior Court and described on the docket as:
“In an action to enforce an order where the court lacked jurisdiction, the court failed to address the lack of jurisdiction to deny, obstruct and conceal prior jurisdiction issues and failures during the pendancy of an Appeal.”

91. As the misconduct used to trigger the loss of rights for Plaintiff Terance Healy (Pro Se Defendant /Appellant) created a loss of jurisdiction, the Defendant was without rights but not without recourse until the appeals court became affected by the case.

92. When the authority of the Appeals court was impacted, Plaintiff Terance Healy would have standing and a cause for relief to present his case to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania where a Petition for Mandamus action could lawfully be ordered and lawfully be ignored.


ACTING LAWFULLY, WITH PROPER STANDING, WITH VALID CAUSE FOR RELIEF

93. Plaintiff, Terance Healy, hereby asserts and presents the as evidence of proper standing the aforementioned true and factual circumstances and actions before

The Court of Common Pleas of Montgomery County, Norristown, Pennsylvania
Docket #2007-12477

The Superior Court of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Docket # 1330 EDA 2013

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Docket # (Filing Concurrent with this Constitutional Challenge)

94. Plaintiff, Terance Healy, asserts and presents as a proper cause for relief the aforementioned true and factual circumstances and actions to

The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania


CASE OF PLAINTIFF, TODD M. KRAUTHEIM

95. BANK OF AMERICA, National Association v. TODD M. KRAUTHEIM is a foreclosure action which has been in the courts since January 2011.

96. The matter has involved 4 judges from the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas with over 100 docket entries.

97. A Judgment entered in May 2011 was unknown to the Defendant until November 2012.

98. After a hearing where documented acts of misconduct were presented, the Court recognized the standard had been met for a “petition to strike” and ordered, adjudged and decreed that the judgment be stricken.

99. The failure of service to the defendant was excused by the court. This is evident and admitted and documented on the record by the attorneys for the plaintiff.

100. An act of fraud relating to the transfer of the mortgage for the property created the misconduct necessary under Rule 1.6 to undermine the Pro Se defendant in the matter.

101. Efforts to expose, address or resolve the matter have been hindered as any effort to resolve will expose the fraudulent title transfer.

102. Plaintiffs subsequent submission of another fraudulent title continue this hindrance of preventing resolution and providing them the opportunity to assert Rule 1.6
- in their defense, or
- in the defense of their client, or
- in the defense of the judge who signed the initial judgement.

103. In this matter, any effort to proceed to a resolution is prevented as the assertion of Rule 1.6 prevents any discussion of the misconduct, or any action which addresses the misconduct.

104. The matter could eventually escalate to a higher court where the same Rule 1.6 would prevent any discussion of the misconduct, or any action which addressed the misconduct.


ACTING LAWFULLY, WITH PROPER STANDING, WITH A VALID CAUSE FOR RELEIF

105. Plaintiff, Todd M. Krautheim, hereby asserts and presents as evidence of proper standing the aforementioned true and factual circumstances and actions before

The Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County, Doylestown, Pennsylvania
Docket # 2011-00193

106. Plaintiff, Todd M. Krautheim, asserts and presents as a proper cause for releif the aforementioned true and factual circumstances and actions to

The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania

A GREAT RESPONSIBILITY

107. Plaintiffs have filed this Constitutional Challenge to Kathleen Kane, Pennsylvania Attorney General, and the Attorneys General of the United States of America as Rule 1.6 appears to have been made law in each state and territory.

108. Attorneys General in States where Rule 1.6 has not been enacted into law, are ON NOTICE of this Constitutional Challenge and the impact the Rule can have on the citizens they are sworn to protect.

109. The exact title “Rule 1.6 Confidentiality of Information” appears in the laws of States, other than Pennsylvania, indicating the potential for inadvertent loss of civil rights exists for the people of those States.

110. Additionally, Plaintiffs recognize the existing and potential worldwide scope of this rule of law, and as citizens uniquely positioned to act lawfully on behalf of the people of the world, assert their lawful proper standing, with cause for relief upon the International Court of Justice to take lawful action to restore the rights or people everywhere.


DENIAL OF CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED RIGHTS

111. Rule 1.6 Confidentiality of Information causes an denial of the constitutionally protected right to petition the Government for redress of grievances. (First Amendment)

112. Rule 1.6 causes a denial of the constitutionally protected right not to be denied of life, liberty or property without due process of law. (Fifth Amendment)

113. Rule 1.6 causes a denial of the constitutionally protected right not to be denied of life, liberty or property without due process of law by a State. (Fourteenth Amendment)

114. The US Constitution is the absolute supreme law of the land.

115. Federal laws are also the supreme law of the land if they do not violate the Constitution.

116. Treaties cannot violate the US Constitution. If they do, they are not valid treaties.

117. State legislatures and State courts are bound by the US Constitution, federal laws and federal treaties.

118. State constitutions cannot violate the US Constitution.

119. State laws cannot conflict or overrule federal laws.

120. Rule 1.6 denies a Pro Se litigant of an opportunity to petition the government for redress of grievances; denies a Pro Se litigant of life, liberty and/or property without due process of law; causes a denial of constitutionally protected rights by the State and as such is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
