Motion for Proposed Course of Action Towards Resolution

Filed in Superior Court - PDF Version
IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA
PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA








Terance Healy:
(Appellant): # 900 EDA 2014
 :
v. :
 :
David Miller
Jennifer K. Miller
:
(Appellee):


MOTION FOR PROPOSED COURSE OF ACTION TOWARDS RESOLUTION


The Appellant hereby informs the court of the entry of an unsigned MEMORANDUM (annotated copy attached) where the integrity of this Honorable Court has been affected by a clearly evident and apparent refusal to address or acknowledge that the lower court lacked jurisdiction and authority to issue the procedurally defective and void ab initio Order dated May 9, 2011.

Where referring to the defective and void ab initio order as a 'divorce decree' foolishly avoids and fails to address or resolve the well-documented procedural defect;

Where Appellant at every opportunity has presented, documented and petitioned the court for resolution, yet every opportunity has been deliberately and intentionally neglected and ignored by the court;

Where the failure of every party who has presented, or asserted, the defective and void order for enforcement has neglected to provide any of the requisite information demonstrating proper and valid support of jurisdiction – as none exists;

Where the evidence which demonstrates the defect and the resulting lack of jurisdiction under Pennsylvania Law is clear upon the court record, well-documented within the petitions and briefs filed, and demonstrated by the exhibits and sworn testimony to the Court;

Where each judge has deliberately and intentionally neglected, avoided and ignored the procedurally defective lack of jurisdiction within their subsequent orders and opinions;
-- Judge Carolyn Tornetta Carluccio Opinion dated October 18, 2011
-- Judge Garrett Page Opinion dated June 28, 2013
-- Judge Gail Weilheimer Opinion dated July 18, 2014

Where there is no method by which jurisdiction may be provided retroactively;

The Appellant respectfully requests to be advised of the intended course of action of this court toward a resolution to the matter;

It is not acceptable to foolishly disrespect the litigants and further sacrifice the integrity of the judiciary.

The lower court's deliberate neglect and failure to address the defect and the resulting lack of jurisdiction demonstrates that their judicial independence had been compromised and justice undermined throughout the matter. The egregious abuse of power under color of law by the members of the Montgomery County Judiciary can only be described as a farce. A very cruel farce.

Failing to address the lower courts reprehensible and systemic lapse in integrity does nothing to absolve the judiciary of responsibility for their actions or to resolve the damage and harm caused to their victim.

Yes, I know what the lower court has done. I survived the abuse. I am attempting to escape it.

I am prevented from life while any resolution is prevented.

I have no choice but to proceed through the only course of action which is available to me while experiencing a systemic failure of judicial integrity and independence.

My constitutional rights have been denied. I have no protection of the law.

Every possible recourse has been prevented by a law which has tragically made it mandatory for legal professionals to participate in furtherance of fraud against the victim of fraud while preventing any resolution. The judiciary has been undermined and judicial independence has been compromised.

Removing the 'fraud provisions' from the Kutak Commission's ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct made fraud legal and mandatory and prevented disclosure to rectify the fraud.

Concealing a mandate for fraud in a document which purports to be an 'ethical standard for legal professionals' neither makes the fraud legal, nor ethical, nor constitutional.

I did not choose to be abused to the point where a systemic problem would be exposed demonstrating the usurpation of the authority of the judicial branch and a judiciary held hostage and controlled by the American Bar Association and their affiliated organizations.

I have had no choice. I survived.

Justice Delayed is justice denied.

Respectfully,
Terance Healy

Rule 1.6 was stripped of Ethical Considerations

Ethical considerations can be addressed at individual and at societal levels. The way that individuals are affected by the conduct of others merits ethical consideration.

While the term ‘ethics’ is used in a wide variety of senses, its meaning consistently relates to an ‘ethos’ or ‘way of life.

Compliance means following rules because you have to; ethics is doing the right thing because you want to, or realize that it is in the best interest of others and society. An individual only interested in compliance will look for loop-holes in law, rules and regulations. If such an individual can accomplish his goals and stay technically compliant, he will do so even if his conduct causes harm.

An ethical individual, in contrast, is concerned about meeting the spirit of rules and laws, and mere compliance will not be sufficient if the conduct isn’t also good and right.

The Model Rules are described as a minimal ethics standard for the profession of law.

In 1983, the ABA affirmed its position that the attorney-client privilege should greatly restrict an attorney's ability to disclose client misconduct.

In February 1983, the ABA House of Delegates met to discuss the then-proposed Model Rules of Professional Conduct(Model Rules). Proposed Model Rule 1.6 contained two provisions that many cast as a radical assault on the traditional scope of the attorney-client privilege.

The first provision would have allowed an attorney to reveal client confidences in order to prevent "substantial injury to the financial interests or property of another."

The second provision sanctioned disclosure "to rectify the consequences of a client's criminal or fraudulent act in the furtherance of which the lawyer's services have been used."

The House of Delegates rejected both proposals after a heated debate. The rejects provisions were not without a basis in ethical consideration. Those two 'ethics' provisions, which considered the impact on other people, would have prevented the confidentiality clause from undermining the constitutional rights of litigants. The removal created an ethical standard which completely ignored the existence of an opposing litigant.

Smoking_Finger_by_jeremiahjosephThe Model Rules serve to advance the duty of preserving a client's confidences at the expense of those injured by a fraud - by the client or the lawyer.

Nevertheless, further debate on these provisions is not reported while states decided whether to adopt the Model Rules. The failure to fully consider the ethics or constitutionality issue within the states is unexplained.

The ABA's failure to consider the impact of confidentiality on the opposition in a civil matter is a failure of any true ethical consideration. This is exacerbated as the ABA further neglected to consider the impact on the constitutional rights of either litigant. Where the confidentiality mandate can be further manipulated and leveraged to conceal the fraud by the judiciary, it undermines the integrity of the judiciary which is sacrificed to conceal the fraud upon the court. This leaves Rule 1.6 without any basis in ethics as it fails to consider the way others are affected.

The Rules of Professional Conduct are promoted as a 'minimal ethical standard' for lawyers by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. In the case of Rule 1.6 Confidentiality, which is cross referenced within most of the other rules, minimal ethics is no ethics.

In 1991, the ABA again rejected the rectification provision.

There is no indication that the ABA ever considered the CONSTITUTIONALITY of Rule 1.6 Confidentiality of Information.

There is no indication that any state considered the lack of ETHICS or the CONSTITUTIONALITY of Rule 1.6 Confidentiality of Information.

The misguided excuses for attorney client privilege are left unsupported by reality. Every case is not a criminal case. Where attorney-client confidentiality obstructs truth and denies justice, the integrity of the courts and the entire judicial system is greatly diminished.

The most serious substantive problem in the Model Rules relates to lawyer-client confidences. Other serious substantive deficiencies relate to trial publicity, solicitation, prosecutors' ethics, competence, client autonomy, the revolving door problem, and various other aspects of the lawyer-client relationship. Other substantial policy and constitutional concerns underlie confidentiality.

The Kutak Commission's proposals regarding confidentiality are fundamentally inconsistent with the constitutional components of the adversary system, and with the values and policies to which they give meaning.

The ABA's insistence on placing the duty of loyalty to the client before the duty of fairness to others has prevented the ethical codes from providing an effective solution to the dilemma.

Since 1983, the ABA has failed to present any effective solution to the dilemma
WHILE...
... the Model Rules have been promoted and enacted by every state. (1984 New Jersey to 2009 Maine)
... the enacted state "Rules of Professional Conduct" are incorporated into the federal circuit and district courts by LOCAL RULES
... the McDade-Murtha Amendment incorporates the state 'Rules of Professional Conduct' into practice for each government attorney.

The Model Rules have deliberately failed to recognize the effect of Rule 1.6 Confidentiality upon the opposition in civil litigation. Further, where an attorney manipulates confidentiality mandates to undermine the court's jurisdiction and the Rule of Law, the integrity of the court becomes entangled in constitutional violations which cannot be addressed or resolved without violating confidentiality. The Rule of Law and Constitutional violations are ignored and neglected by the Department of Justice and the federal courts who must follow the state's confidentiality law.

One Rule - stripped of ethics - enacted without any constitutional considerations - undermines the authority and integrity of the state and federal judiciary while preventing enforcement of constitutionally protected rights by the government - UNCONSTITUTIONAL - Improperly enacted - Repugnant - A NULLITY.

Dean Redlich of the New York University Law School assessed the ABA's vote on the Model Rules by stating: 'The practice of law, if done by sensitive people, creates financial risks and moral dilemmas.... These votes reflect a strong desire to eliminate those moral dilemmas by self-imposed rules that narrow or eliminate the choices a lawyer has.'

Client and Attorney misconduct poses an ethical dilemma which the legal profession has failed to resolve, and failed to consider while enjoying an autonomy from regulations and ethical rules. The ABA's ethical and constitutional failure, demonstrated by the rejected provisions, were intentional and deliberate where they failed to address the matter for over 25 years. The unconstitutional result denying Americans of their constitutional rights and the protection of the law - Foreclosing on millions nationwide - Concealing human trafficking of thousands of children by judges in Luzerne County - Enabling destruction within the Family Courts.

The ABA knew of the unconstitutional effect of the Model Rules and Rule 1.6 Confidentiality of Information. The ABA still presented the Model Rules to the state Supreme courts to enact into law.

[ WE STILL DO NOT HAVE ANY EXPLANATION AT WHY IT WAS NECESSARY TO ENACT THE RULES INTO LAW. It turned the discretion of the lawyer to make an ethical decision into an aggressively enforced mandate of confidentiality. ]

The state Supreme Court does not have the authority to enact a law which affects the substantive rights of litigants which are protected by the state Constitution and the US Constitution.

Unconstitutional Rule 1.6 Confidentiality of Information was never properly enacted into law in any and every state.

Rule 1.6 is a NULLITY. Restore my constitutional rights and provide me with the equal protection of the law and prepare to address the actions of 20 judges of the Montgomery County Pennsylvania judiciary who have abused their power under color of law with their judicial independence undermined and lacking jurisdiction while denying my constitutional rights and ignoring the Rule of Law.

The Lawyers Allegiance- Priorities Regarding Confidentiality

Rectification of Client Fraud

BrooklynLaw-Dangerous-Liasons-Gauthier

The Kutak Model Rules v. the American Lawyers Code of Conduct January 1, 1981. In this document Monroe Freedman points to the ethical and constitutional problems caused by Rule 1.6 Confidentiality of the Model Rules. Failing to find a resolution in the end, the ABA ignored that there is any problem and provided the states with an unconstitutional law which violated substantive rights of litigants. The state supreme courts lacked the authority to enact the Model Rules as Rule 1.6 is repugnant to the Constitution of the United States and a nullity.

In effect, the Model Rules place the lawyer in the position of having to violate the client's constitutional rights to effective counsel in order to conform to a "model" rule of conduct. This is both unnecessary and unjustifiable. Confidentiality is basic to effective lawyering. Thus, by undermining the confidentiality between the lawyer and the client, the Model Rules would destroy the most fundamental of constitutional rights.<./td>
