COUNTY OF KINGS )

Accordingly, I, Christopher Earl Strunk, being duly sworn, depose and say under

penalty of perjury:

1. That I am the self represented Plaintiff, Christopher-Earl: Strunk in esse

(Affirmant, Strunk) with place for service at 593 Vanderbilt Avenue – 281 Brooklyn

New York 11238 telephone (845) 901 -6767 and email: chris@strunk.ws.

2. This Affidavit supports the Notice of Motion to reargue the Motion to file a

First Amended Complaint (FAC) by CPLR §305 and Rule §3025(b) to supplement

the underlying Summons with Verified Complaint filed on or about October 29,

2008, and this motion is submitted with the motion requesting leave to reargue

with leave afforded by CPLR 2221(d) (see Exhibit 1) and accompanies the motion

requesting leave to file Proof of Service with the Clerk of the Court (see Exhibit 2);

there is no previous request for this relief, nor is there another to benefit.

Affidavit to Reargue NOM for FAC Page 1 of 5


Strunk v Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court of Kings Index No. 29642-08

3. That on January 18, 2011, Plaintiff memorialized recollection of the January

11, 2011 hearing that was duly served upon attendees and the Court (see Exhibit 3).

4. That Plaintiff has a meritorious cause of action that is affected by the first

impression Original Disposition of Law (ODOL) that settled the Petition with Index

29641-08, that with the Order shown as Exhibit 1 sub-exhibit E, when there is

adequate discovery of the particulars as a more definite statement requires Plaintiff

to supplement the underlying Complaint (see Exhibit 4) with causes of action

describing in particularity the fraud with unjust enrichment that occurred as a

result of the Public Officers maladministration of laws and regulations governing

State action for ballot access, and thereby adding essential parties with an amended

summons with amended complaint to be served before the case may be perfected.

5. There was Court misapprehension of the effect of the ODOL in regards to:

a. Approval of each Presidential elector class of public officers holding two

public offices for payment who served as public officers not individuals per

se was required by the decision of law before a complaint was possible;

b. determination of the degree that the Breach of Public Officers fiduciary duty

alleged in the Complaint involves criminal sedition and treason in the civil

matter requires notice to the authority with crime enforcement jurisdiction;

c. The role of the then Secretary of State Lorraine A. Cortez-Vazquez as a

neutral State Officer and also a Federal Officer with the Help America to Vote

Act of 2002 (HAVA) section 213 (a) (1) (A), who was not a named defendant in

the underlying complaint, should have taken responsibility to review each

class of Presidential Elector slate both before and after November 4, 2008

Affidavit to Reargue NOM for FAC Page 2 of 5


Strunk v Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court of Kings Index No. 29642-08

General Election was duly served notice;

d. That there is a conflict of interest with then Attorney General Andrew

Cuomo / now Governor who is an elector for the Democratic Presidential

candidate slate and given notice of allegations of criminal activity in the

complaint including himself raises serious questions of impropriety were

an investigation not commenced, and at best appearance of impropriety

were he not to appear individually after service on December 1, 2008;

e. That there is a conflict of interest with then Governor David Paterson who

Is an elector, appoints the Secretary of State who serves at his pleasure,

and has authority to investigate allegations of criminal wrongdoing in the

complaint raises serious questions of impropriety when not investigated,

and at best appearance of impropriety were not to appear after service;

f. That the Attorney designated for service upon the NYS Board of Elections

by personal service of the Complaint allegations of criminal wrongdoing

by effect of ODOL renders the NYS Board of Elections principal agent

liable personally for their breach of fiduciary duty to equally enforce State

law and regulations as to presidential candidates slate ballot access.

6. The Court misapprehension of the effect of the absence of the Proof of Service

completion with the Clerk of the Court, bars Plaintiff from filing a default judgment

as against Defendant(s) without leave of the court as with CPLR 307(2) and 308(3);

7. That the fact that the Court in 2008 declined a subpoena for discovery of

information germane herein and in 2009 as now involve the FOIA action with a

Affidavit to Reargue NOM for FAC Page 3 of 5


Strunk v Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court of Kings Index No. 29642-08

pending motion for summary judgment in Strunk v. DOS et al. DCD 08-cv-2234

(RJL), the matter of not filing for default within the year allotted supports the

requirement for sufficient cause in CPLR §3215(c), and therein affording discretion

by the Court to grant an extension of time for perfecting the complaint with an

action involving: CPLR §2001 for mistakes, omissions, defects and irregularities, at

any stage of an action; CPLR §2004 for extensions of time generally, except where

otherwise expressly prescribed by law, the court may extend the time fixed by any

statute, rule or order for doing any act, upon such terms as may be just and upon

good cause shown, whether the application for extension is made before or after the

expiration of the time fixed; CPLR §2005 for excusable delay or default; that upon

an application satisfying the requirements of subdivision (d) of section 3012 (1) or

subdivision (a) of rule 5015, the court shall not, as a matter of law, be precluded

from exercising its discretion in the interests of justice to excuse delay and or

default resulting from law office failure were third party service considered such.

8. Plaintiff has improved on the Verified FAC with Amended Summons annexed

herewith (see Exhibit 5) that provides nunc pro tunc additional facts and details as

a more definite statement of the ongoing injury suffered by Plaintiff along with

those similarly situated, requires the addition of necessary parties, and the

treatment of the Democratic Party Electoral College of New York as a Class rather

than as a matter of individual persons, in that the election and vote has already

for delay or default.

occufied and i is merely a matter of state and federal record at the present; and

further, that 0 . @vmaa m x t u s i * h act have kmr!&t.

&st impressihn as a S t a b question involving the quwtionable seating of the New

York Electorahl College a€terthe questionable ballot access afforded by arbitrary and

COUNTY OF KINGS )

Accordingly, I, Christopher Earl Strunk, being duly sworn, depose and say under

penalty of perjury:

1. That I am the self represented Plaintiff, Christopher Earl Strunk in esse

(Affirmant, Strunk) with place for service at 593 Vanderbilt Avenue – 281 Brooklyn

New York 11238 telephone (845) 901 -6767 and email: chris@strunk.ws.

2. This affirmation supports the Notice of Motion with CPLR §2221(d) for leave

to reargue the notice of motion for leave to file an amended summons and complaint

herewith the supporting affidavit without the exhibit annexed (see Exhibit A),

having been denied by the interlocutory Order of January 11, 2011 that was

thereafter entered and served upon Plaintiff with Notice of Entry after February 1,

2011 (see Exhibit B); and that there is no previous request for this relief, nor is

there another to benefit.

Plaintiff’s Affidavit Page 1 of 4


Strunk v Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court of Kings Index No. 29642-08

3. That pursuant to the requirements of CPLR §2221(d) for leave to reargue:

Affirmant’s request is based upon matters of fact or law allegedly overlooked or

misapprehended by the court in determining the prior motion, but does not include

any matters of fact not offered on the prior motion;

4. On January 11, 2011, at the hearing of the Notice of Motion for leave to file a

first amended complaint in the case with index 29642-08, Affirmant argued that

Plaintiff is in good faith with the requirements of the CPLR rules for service but did

not a have a copy of the original proof of service and would ascertain where it is.

5. Plaintiff subsequent to January 11, 2011 discovered he has yet to file a Proof

of Service of personal service with the clerk of the court for the original Summons

and Complaint; and asks for leave by separate motion to file the Proof of Service

Nunc pro Tunc by separate motion that should be heard with this request for leave

to reargue.

6. At the January 11, 2011 hearing the Court asked if Plaintiff had filed a

default judgment against Defendant(s) to wit Plaintiff answered no and to wit the

Court stated Plaintiff had procedural problems to resolve before the case could

proceed; and as a matter of misapprehension that without having the Proof of

Service filed with the Clerk of the Court, Plaintiff is barred from filing a default

judgment as against Defendant; and especially since there are meritorious reasons

associated with the Petition 29641-08 that presented a question of first impression

controlling this case with an original disposition of law, and affects the need for a

granting leave to supplement to the summons and complaint herein in the form

Plaintiff’s Affidavit Page 2 of 4


Strunk v Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court of Kings Index No. 29642-08

that meets the criteria for civil jurisdiction herein with CPLR §3016 (b) requiring

particularity in specific actions of Fraud where a cause of action is based upon

misrepresentation, fraud, mistake, willful default, breach of trust or undue

influence, the circumstances constituting the wrong shall be stated in detail.

7. Additionally, the fact that the Court in 2008 denied a subpoena for discovery

of information germane herein that is now involved in a FOIA action with a pending

motion for summary judgment in Strunk v. DOS et al. DCD 08-cv-2234 (RJL), the

matter of not filing for default within the year allotted supports the requirement for

sufficient cause in CPLR §3215(c), and therein affording discretion by the Court to

grant an extension of time for perfecting the complaint with an action involving:

CPLR §2001 for mistakes, omissions, defects and irregularities, at any stage of an

action; CPLR §2004 for extensions of time generally, except where otherwise

expressly prescribed by law, the court may extend the time fixed by any statute,

rule or order for doing any act, upon such terms as may be just and upon good

cause shown, whether the application for extension is made before or after the

expiration of the time fixed; CPLR §2005 for excusable delay or default; that upon

an application satisfying the requirements of subdivision (d) of section 3012 (1) or

from exercising its discretion in the interests of justice to excuse delay and or

College of New York as a Class rather than as a matter of individual persons in that

the election and vote has already occurred and is merely a matter of state and

federal record at the present; and further,

5. That Plaintiff’s injury as a matter of complexity requires standing with CPLR

of the underlying complaint and that have been in part incorporated into the First

with other cases has obtained other prima facia facts germane to the first thru fifth

Cause of action herein, including notification of the issuance of two affidavits sworn

by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi in her individual capacity as a member of the

Democratic party at the National Democratic Party Presidential Nominating

Convention shown in FAC Exhibits B, and C.

9. That there is now substantial prima facie evidence of fraudulent misdirection

to put Barack Hussein Obama. John Sidney McCain III, and Roger Calero onto all

the State ballots in 2008 at the Federal Elections, involves Defendants Andrew

Cuomo the New York Attorney General and Lorraine A. Cortez-Vazquez the New

York Secretary of State, NYS Board of Elections, et al. also involves Governor

Paterson’s Jesuit Chief of Staff who orchestrated the deception from the governor’s

office without properly informing the Governor who is legally blind and otherwise is

unable to ascertain such facts for himself relied on the Jesuit, and as such all are in

the conspiracy as defined by 42 USC 1985(3) to disrupt suffrage and among other

laws that breach Defendants fiduciary duty and injure Plaintiff who contends the

State “Little” RICO applies as presently before the Justice David I Schmidt herein.

10. That the NYS Election Law does not express that any of the respective

Plaintiff’s Affidavit Page 4 of 6


Strunk v Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court of Kings Index No. 29642-08

Presidential Ballot Certificates must be a sworn statement or as it requires every

other certificate to be sworn as to all matters true and correct as in other Articles

thereby arguendo sets a greater responsibility upon the NYS Board of Election

Commissioners and or their agents or the Sub-divisions thereof as a fiduciary duty

to ascertain the veracity accordingly since it has not been done by a notary public or

commissioner of deeds under oath, thereby shifting the burden to the Defendant

Board and or sub-divisions accordingly, and that Plaintiff alleges when upon

examination of all the Presidential Ballot Certificates shows an arbitrary pattern of

enterprise corruption scheme to defraud requiring among other relief a Judicial

Declaratory judgment as a legal matter of first impression regarding the fiduciary

duty of public officials to make sure there is equal treatment of all certifications for

ballot access that has not been done for the 2008 election cycle.

11. That Affirmant has had previous discussions about sealing this case from the

public because of my fear of reprisals and that NY Assistant Attorney General and

Defendants Counsel Joel Graber stated that sealing would be difficult unless it were

strictly a family / domestic relations type of sealing, not something like this case;

and therefore as I agree with Mr. Graber, a suitable protective order and related

relief associated with it is appropriate and reasonable under the circumstance and

that the public has a right to know what we are doing; and

12. Therefore at this point in time, Affirmant asks for a protective order as to

Christopher-Earl: Strunk in esse alone, and that Affirmant be afforded an order for

a weapon conceal carry privilege in New York state.

Plaintiff’s Affidavit Page 5 of 6


Strunk v Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court of Kings Index No. 29642-08

13.That Affirmant knows foregoing contents apply to me and my injury that by

Respondents misapplication and misadministration of law presents a question of

first impression as a State question involving the questionable seating of the New

York Eledoral College after the questionable ballot access afforded by arbitrary and

capricious action of the NYS Board of Elections et al. for the various Party

Presidential Candidate Slates at the General Election of November 4,2008; the

same is.true to my own knowledge, except as to the matters therein stated to be

alleged on information and belief, and as to those matters I believe it to be true. The

grounds of my beliefs as to all matters not stated upon information and belief are as

follows: 3rd parties, books and records, and personal knowledge.

Wherefore Plaintiff wishes an order of the Court granting the opportunity to

file and serve the Amended Summons and Verified First Amended Complaint; and

for other and different relief the court deems necessary to serve justice herein .

27. That Defendant Brzezinski has managed a crucial role for the Vatican State as a

member of the SMOM and as a Freemason of the Philadelphia Grand Lodge to create global

regionalism that subsumes national sovereignty and as Former National Security Adviser

to President Carter expressed his view of regionalism at Mikhail Gorbachev’s October 1995

State of the World Forum, that quote:

“We cannot leap into world government in one quick step...The precondition for
eventual globalization — genuine globalization — is progressive regionalization.”

28. That Defendant Brzezinski advised the SOEBARKAH and McCain campaigns, and

used his sons, Mark who was a member of the advisors in the SOEBARKAH Campaign and

Ian who was an advisor on the McCain Campaign, all done in exchange for his sons’

government employment and furtherance of the enterprise corruption.

29. That Defendant JOHN SIDNEY MCCAIN III individually with place of business

located at Washington Office: 241 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510,

was born on August 29, 1936 in Colon Hospital, Colon Panama according to the Panama

Canal Health Department not in the Panama Canal Zone (see Exhibit D); and according to

the Hay-Banau-Varilla Treaty of November 18, 1903 that has 26 articles (see Exhibit E) in

which the two pertinent to the status of the city of Colon under that Treaty refer to the

Convention for the Construction of a Ship Canal says that the Colon Panama, the birth city

cited on McCain’s 1936 long form birth certificate where he was witnessed being born, and

where his parents resided, Colon, Republic de Panama, is not part of the Canal Zone, quote:

ARTICLE I The United States guarantees and will maintain the independence of
the Republic of Panama.

ARTICLE II The Republic of Panama grants to the United States in perpetuity the
use, occupation and control of a zone of land and land under water for the
construction maintenance, operation, sanitation and protection of said Canal of the
width of ten miles extending to the distance of five miles on each side of the center
line of the route of the Canal to be constructed; the said zone beginning in the
Caribbean Sea three marine miles from mean low water mark and extending to and

First Amended Complaint Page 9 of 22


Strunk v. Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court County of Kings 29642-08

across the Isthmus of Panama into the Pacific ocean to a distance of three marine
miles from mean low water mark WITH THE PROVISO THAT THE CITIES OF
PANAMA AND COLON and the harbors adjacent to said cities, WHICH ARE
INCLUDED WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE ZONE ABOVE DESCRIBED,
SHALL NOT BE INCLUDED WITHIN THIS GRANT…” (Emphasis by Plaintiff)

and therefore, Defendant McCain is not a natural-born Citizen was not born on U.S.

Territory or the USA and is not eligible for the Presidency with the U.S. Constitution

Article II Section One Clause 5 as mandated by the Defendant NYS BOE.

30. That Defendant SOEBARKAH is a Madrasah trained radical Sunni Muslim by birth

right according to the Koran through his father Barack Hussein Obama Sr. (a Sunni

Muslim), and that by training and practice admitted during the speech to the Muslim

Brotherhood in Cairo in 2009 – SOEBARKAH practices Shariah law and is devoted to King

Saud of Saudi Arabia who based upon information paid for the Columbia and Harvard

university expenses with the full knowledge and blessing of Defendant Brzezinski.

31. Defendant SOEBARKAH admits his natural father at the time of his birth is a

citizen of the United Kingdom and the British Nationality Act of 1948 governs dual

citizenship at birth.

32. That Rep. John Bingham, author of the 14th Amendment, Congressional Globe,

39th, 1st Sess., pg 1291 (March 9, 1866) stated:

“… every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents
not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your
Constitution itself, a natural-born citizen.”

33. That Defendant SOEBARKAH and or his agent(s) as part of the scheme to defraud

placed an image of a Hawaiian Certification of Live Birth (COLB) on the Internet, which in

Hawaii per se is issued for all birth's registered by the State of Hawaii whether the human

being is born there or not, and as a prima facia fact means the Hawaii issued COLB does

not prove "natural born" citizenship or birth in Hawaii, only a long form document would.

First Amended Complaint Page 10 of 22


Strunk v. Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court County of Kings 29642-08

34. A COLB per se is sufficient proof of citizenship if not part of a scheme to defraud;

however, a COLB issued to those who are "naturalized" in Hawaii is of questionable legal

issue contrary to U.S. Constitution Article 1 §8 Clause 4, Article I §9 Clause 1, Article 1 §10

Clause 1, and as a matter of first impression conflicts with the full faith and credit clause.

35. That Defendant SOEBARKAH (a.k.a. Barry Soetoro, a.k.a. Barack Hussein Obama)

at six years of age used the name given upon his adoption by Lolo S. Soetoro Mangunharjo,

an Indonesian colonel in General Suharto's Armed Forces who had married Stanley Ann

Obama, and as an Indonesian Citizen from six years of age SOEBARKAH is presumed to

have an Indonesian passport after removal from the U.S. Passport of Stanley Ann Soetoro

as released to Plaintiff on July 29, 2010 by the U.S. Department of State, see Exhibit F.

36. That Defendant SOEBARKAH is not eligible for the Office of the President because

with the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952 as the controlling legal authority for the birth of

BHO, and especially when the transmission of British citizenship to BHO at birth no

matter where the location is proves a dual citizen at birth, as a treaty matter between

Britain and the USA, and that with the admission against interest of both Stanley Ann

Dunham Obama and Barack Hussein Obama Sr. in a marriage in Hawaii entered after

conception, in which both parents attribute Paternity to BHO Sr. without challenge at the

time of the March 20, 1964 divorce decree makes BHO Jr. a British subject with dual

citizenship and multi-allegiances at best that by the 1952 McCarran-Walter Act, therefore

BHO Jr. is not a Natural Born Citizen; and

37. Further, Defendant SOEBARKAH lost his U.S. citizenship when his mother married

an Indonesian citizen and became a naturalized citizen of Indonesia and in that Indonesia

does not recognize dual citizenship, and because Defendant SOEBARKAH did not take an

oath of allegiance to the USA when reaching the proper age while resident in the USA

First Amended Complaint Page 11 of 22


Strunk v. Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court County of Kings 29642-08

retains Indonesian Citizenship having renounced his previous U.S. Naturalized citizenship

/ British Citizen status; and

38. Plaintiff further alleges, that had SOEBARKAH followed up with his resident status

after 1971 while living with his Grandmother in Hawaii to become naturalized, he failed to

take an oath of allegiance when SOEBARKAH turned 18 years old to regain his U.S.

citizenship status, and then obtained school financing as a foreign exchange student in

Hawaii and again at Occidental College in Los Angeles as done at Columbia and Harvard,

at best has multiple citizenship status with allegiances to Indonesia, Great Britain, Kenya

perhaps; however is not a natural-born citizen of the United States and according to the

public record is not even a citizen of the United States, and therefore, ineligible for the

presidency with the U.S. Constitution Article II Section 1 Clause 5 as mandated by the

Defendant NYS BOE; and

39. Further by U.S. Senate resolution is underscored and confirmed by the Honorable

United States District Judge Michael Chertoff then serving as the Secretary of Homeland

Security in testimony under oath before the U.S. Senate Committee and as reprinted in the

Congressional Record pages S2950 and S2951 (see Exhibit G) stated:

CHERTOFF. “My assumption and my understanding is that if you are born of


American parents, you are naturally a natural-born American citizen.”

40. In that on April 10, 2008, Defendant SOEBARKAH, as a U.S. Senator was the

Sponsor of the sense resolution S 511 (see Exhibit H) along with other U.S. Senators Mrs.

MCCASKILL, Mr. LEAHY, Mr. COBURN, Mrs. CLINTON, and Mr. WEBB who

maliciously submitted the S 511 resolution knowing it was false as to the natural-born

Citizen status of Senator John Sidney McCain III, in violation of 18 USC §1001; and in

which S 511 was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary then to the U.S. Senate as a

fraud upon Congress and the People of the several states and territories contrary to the

First Amended Complaint Page 12 of 22


Strunk v. Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court County of Kings 29642-08

facts shown in Exhibit D and above stated:

“Whereas John Sidney McCain, III, was born to American citizens on an American
military base in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936:”

41. That SOEBARKAH acknowledges endorsing Senate Resolution 511 that one needs

two (2) U.S.A. Citizen parents at birth to be qualified to be a natural born citizen.

42. That Defendant ROGER CALERO was born in Nicaragua in 1969. He and his family

fled via Los Angeles, California in 1985. Calero is now a permanent resident alien (holding

a green card) since 1990. While in Los Angeles, Calero joined a socialist movement and

helped mobilize support against Proposition 187 in the early 90s, and is presumed to have

filed a certification for ballot access through the respective Defendant Socialist Worker’s

Party Committee as shown on Exhibit A, but is not a natural-born U.S. Citizen with the

U.S. Constitution Article II Section 1 Clause 5 as mandated by the Defendant NYS BOE.

43. That on November 30, 2007, Defendant SOEBARKAH affirmed an affidavit for the

Arizona Secretary of State to gain ballot access in the Arizona 2008 Presidential Preference

Election Ballot, and likewise on October 9th 2007, Defendant McCain affirmed an affidavit

for the Arizona Secretary of State to gain ballot access in the Arizona 2008 Presidential

Preference Election Ballot and that both affirmations were duly filed with the AZ Secretary

of State who provided a certified copy of each respective filed affidavit (see Exhibit I); with

each individually affirming that

““I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that all the information in this Nomination Paper
is true, that as to these and all other qualifications, I am qualified to hold the office
that I seek, having fulfilled the United States constitutional requirements for
holding said office. I further swear (or affirm) that I have fulfilled Arizona's
statutory requirement for placing my name on the Presidential Preference Election
ballot.”

44. That according to the Help America to Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) section 213 (a) (1)

(A) the Arizona Secretary of State (located at the Office of the Secretary of State of Arizona

First Amended Complaint Page 13 of 22


Strunk v. Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court County of Kings 29642-08

1700 West Washington Street, 7th Floor Phoenix, AZ 85007-2888), and the New York

Secretary of State Defendant LORRAINE A. CORTEZ-VAZQUEZ (located at the

Department of State One Commerce Plaza 99 Washington Ave, Albany, NY 12231-0001)

are both Federal officers who each serve as an unpaid employee of the United States

Election Assistance Commission (EAC), a Federal employee and respective state employee.

45. Wherefore, Defendant SOEBARKAH and Defendant McCain each individually and

in conspiracy committed perjury before a Federal Officer in violation of 18 USC §1001 as

part of the racketeering enterprise corruption.

46. That Plaintiff with those similarly situated are denied individual 1st, 5th , 9th and

10th amendment rights to sovereignty and a republican form of government as well as

financial injury for the cost of the 2008 election cycle in New York..

FOURTH CAUSE OF ACTION


(Conspiracy to commit Treason, as against all Defendants, and their agent John / Jane
Does XYZ Entities as an enterprise)

47. Plaintiff repeats each and every allegation contained in the First through Third

Cause of Action with the same force and effect as though herein set forth at length.

48. That Democrat Party Elector Candidate Defendants, their agents John and Jane

Does are part of an enterprise who have overthrown the government of the United States in

conjunction with SOEBARKAH, Joseph Biden, McCain, Calero and their agents at the

state and national level with those other candidate elector slates of other states of the

several states (“Racketeering Enterprise”).

49. Based upon information and belief the Democrat Party Elector Candidate

Defendants, their agents John and Jane Does using the Defendants NYS BOE and their

agents as an enterprise have misapplied and mis-administered their public duties under

NYS BOE regulation by failure to obtain and ascertain proof that each Defendant

First Amended Complaint Page 14 of 22


Strunk v. Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court County of Kings 29642-08

Presidential Candidate is a natural-born Citizen, that otherwise is contrary to State Law,

regulations and the United States Constitution Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5:

“No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time
of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither
shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of
thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”

50. Based upon information and belief the State Defendants, Defendant Presidential

Candidates, various Defendant Committees and their agents have not presented a certified

copy of the “long-form” birth certificate of the Defendant Presidential Candidates for ballot

access to the New York November 4, 2008 General Election / 2008 election cycle.

51. There has never been an Article II executive who has ever been a naturalized citizen

or a non-citizen as it is against the mandate of the U.S. Constitution Article II Section 1

Clause 5 that a candidate be a natural-born U.S. Citizen to be eligible.

52. There has never been an Article II executive who is a citizen of a foreign nation and

or has dual allegiance with a foreign nation.

53. That were the executive to be occupied by a foreign citizen would constitute an

invasion, coup-d-tat and trespass upon the sovereign citizen of New York a taking as of

right under the 10th Amendment must secede New York from the Union until such time the

Union were made whole and laws enforced again.

54. Those Defendants know they have a duty to prevent any person who is not a natural

born citizen from ballot access in the state of New York when running for President and or

Vice President and have maliciously failed miserably in an act of treason.

55. Those Officer Defendants and the NYS BOE have not fulfilled the due diligence

necessary to protect the voter(s), are ultra vires and individually liable.

56. That Democrat Party Elector Candidate Defendants, their agents John and Jane

Does as an enterprise are attempting to overthrow the government of the State of New

First Amended Complaint Page 15 of 22


Strunk v. Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court County of Kings 29642-08

York in conjunction with Barack Hussein Obama, Joseph Biden racketeering Enterprise at

the November 4, 2008 for foreign agents who are enemies of Plaintiff and those New York

State Citizens guaranteed sovereignty exclusively under the New York State Constitution

separate and apart from the other states of the several states.

57. That the Racketeering Enterprise corruption has overthrown the government of the

state of New York to which the Democrat Party Elector Candidate Defendants owe

allegiance, and who join the Racketeering Enterprise to wage war against the State and or

materially promote the foreign illegal alien SOEBARKAH , foreign born Roger Calero with

only a green card and foreign born U.S. Citizen John Sidney McCain III to the Executive

branch and the Presidency of the United States against the law of both the State and

Federal Constitutions, as has with state action undermined the State and Federal election

with 42 USC 1983, 1985(3) and 1986 related Federal and State law in its entirety.

58. That Defendants infringe Strunk’s individual liberty, expectation of a republican

form of government, and burden his expectation of effective participation in the general

election were the laws not enforced in good faith with the duties of their office.

59. Plaintiff is the only person in the USA to have duly fired fired fired BHO on

January 23, 2009 by registered mail (rendering BHO the USURPER as Plaintiff is entitled

to characterize BHO as) on the grounds that he had not proven himself eligible to be the

administrator / trustee of Plaintiff’s private account at the U.S. Treasury as required by

U.S. Constitution Article 2 Section 1 clause 5 with a pending Replevin matter in the

District of Columbia;

60. Further, that the Honorable Justice David I. Schmidt in the NYS Supreme Court

Case Strunk v. Paterson et al. in the County of Kings with index 08-29642 declined to sign

a subpoena order to obtain document records of Stanley Ann Dunham (SAD) from US DOS,

First Amended Complaint Page 16 of 22


Strunk v. Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court County of Kings 29642-08

and that thereby forced Plaintiff as the only alternative to obtain the passport records of

SAD in FOIA case DCD 08-cv-2234;

61. Further, that document records are germane to determine where Stanley Ann

Dunham was at the time of the Usurper’s birth as requested in the FOIA;

62. Further, that Plaintiff FOIA case in Washington D.C. 08-cv-2234 presently has a

decision pending on a Summary Judgment that Plaintiff opposes, as there has been a

preponderance of evidence showing that federal parties and those yet named have

committed a fraud upon that court and have violated 18 USC §1001.

63. Further, that not all the requested documents are now essential for the continuation

of Plaintiff’s action before Justice Schmidt as here demonstrated.

64. Further New York State Board of Elections individuals; the New York State

Secretary of State individually, the New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo

individually as an elector along with John and Jane Does have conspired inter alia for a

breach of fiduciary duties under color of state law enacted by the State Legislature to

protect Plaintiff’s right to a reasonable expectation of participation and success with a

proper ballot for the New York electoral college election of the 2008 president and vice

president of the United States of America in accordance with United States Constitution

Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5; and

65. Furthermore, that as a matter of State Court standing Plaintiff’s suffrage privilege

goes to his specific circumstances and depends upon Plaintiff's substantive due process

right to publicly available document records questionably withheld since 2008 as a 5th

amendment issue, and which goes well beyond simple procedural due process as a

minimum requirement as U.S. DOS’s Counsel suggests in the use of the term reasonable, to

injure Plaintiff along with those similarly situated.

First Amended Complaint Page 17 of 22


Strunk v. Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court County of Kings 29642-08

FIFTH CAUSE OF ACTION


(Enterprise Unjust Enrichment, against All Defendants)

66. Plaintiff repeats each and every allegation contained in the First through Fourth

Cause of Action with the same force and effect as though herein set forth at length.

67. That based upon information and belief Russia, Iran , Syria, Saudi Arabia,

Indonesia, Lebanon, Nigeria, Libya, Egypt, Dubai among other sovereign foreign entities

and persons have illegally contributed to the campaign of Defendant SOEBARKAH who

spent $738,812,857 to seize control of the White House and is 46% of the total money raised

for all candidates in the 2008 Presidential Election that compares to three hundred and ten

million spent by Defendant McCain; and as part of the scheme to defraud the Vatican Bank

68. Each of the Defendants and their agents have been unjustly enriched by the

referenced activities to disrupt the election without assuring a duly eligible Presidential

Candidates for the Republican Democrat and Socialist Workers party under color of state

Convention Between the United States and the Republic of Panama

(1904)

[The attempt on the part of a French company to build a Panama canal was begun in 1879
under a concession from the Republic of Colombia, through whose territory the canal was to
pass. When the enterprise was taken over by the United States in 1903, the treaty with
Colombia, arranging for United States control of the canal strip, was rejected by the
Congress of Colombia. The people of the isthmus, whose prosperity largely depended on the
building of the canal, thereupon seceded from Colombia, set up the Republic of Panama, and
agreed to the following convention.]

1
FOR the Construction of a Ship Canal to Connect the Waters of the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans. Signed at Washington, November 18, 1903. Ratification advised by the Senate,
February 23, 1904. Ratified by the President, February 25, 1904. Ratified by Panama,
December 2, 1903. Ratifications exchanged at Washington, February 26, 1904.
Proclaimed, February 26, 1904.

By the President of the United States of America.
A Proclamation

Whereas, a Convention between the United States of America and the Republic of
Panama to insure the construction of a ship canal across the Isthmus of Panama to
connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, was concluded and signed by their respective
Plenipotentiaries at Washington, on the eighteenth day of November, one thousand nine
hundred and three, the original of which Convention, being in the English language, is
word for word as follows:

Convention Between the United States and the Republic of Panama. ... Page 2 of 8

United States is authorized to acquire within a reasonable time the control of the
necessary territory of the Republic of Colombia, and the sovereignty of such territory
being actually vested in the Republic of Panama, the high contracting parties have
resolved for that purpose to conclude a convention and have accordingly appointed as
their plenipotentiaries,—
4
The President of the United States of America, John Hay, Secretary of State, and
5
The Government of the Republic of Panama, Philippe Bunau-Varilla, Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Panama, thereunto
specially empowered by said government, who after communicating with each other
their respective full powers, found to be in good and due form, have agreed upon and
concluded the following articles:

6
Article I

The United States guarantees and will maintain the independence of the Republic of
Panama.

7
Article II

The Republic of Panama grants to the United States in perpetuity, the use, occupation
and control of a zone of land and land under water for the construction, maintenance,
operation, sanitation and protection of said Canal of the width of ten miles extending to
the distance of five miles on each side of the center line of the route of the Canal to be
constructed; the said zone beginning in the Caribbean Sea three marine miles from mean
low water mark and extending to and across the Isthmus of Panama into the Pacific
Ocean to a distance of three marine miles from mean low water mark with the proviso
that the cities of Panama and Colon and the harbors adjacent to said cities, which are
included within the boundaries of the zone above described, shall not be included within
this grant. The Republic of Panama further grants to the United States in perpetuity, the
use, occupation and control of any other lands and waters outside of the zone above
described which may be necessary and convenient for the construction, maintenance,
operation, sanitation and protection of the said Canal or of any auxiliary canals or other
works necessary and convenient for the construction, maintenance, operation, sanitation
and protection of the said enterprise.
8
The Republic of Panama further grants in like manner to the United States in perpetuity,
all islands within the limits of the zone above described and in addition thereto, the group
of small islands in the Bay of Panama, named Perico, Naos, Culebra and Flamenco.

9

The Republic of Panama grants to the United States all the rights, power and authority
within the zone mentioned and described in Article II of this agreement, and within the

within which said lands and waters are located to the entire exclusion of the exercise by
the Republic of Panama of any such sovereign rights, power or authority.

10
Article IV

As rights subsidiary to the above grants the Republic of Panama grants in perpetuity, to
the United States the right to use the rivers, streams, lakes and other bodies of water
within its limits for navigation, the supply of water or waterpower or other purposes, so
far as the use of said rivers, streams, lakes and bodies of water and the waters thereof
may be necessary and convenient for the construction, maintenance, operation, sanitation

11
Article V

The Republic of Panama grants to the United States in perpetuity, a monopoly for the
construction, maintenance and operation of any system of communication by means of

12
Article VI

The grants herein contained shall in no manner invalidate the titles or rights of private
land holders or owners of private property in the said zone or in or to any of the lands or
waters granted to the United States by the provisions of any Article of this treaty, nor
shall they interfere with the rights of way over the public roads passing through the said
zone or over any of the said lands or waters unless said rights of way or private rights
shall conflict with rights herein granted to the United States in which case the rights of
the United States shall be superior. All damages caused to the owners of private lands or
private property of any kind by reason of the grants contained in this treaty or by reason
of the operations of the United States, its agents or employees, or by reason of the
construction, maintenance, operation, sanitation and protection of the said Canal or of the
works of sanitation and protection herein provided for, shall be appraised and settled by a
joint Commission appointed by the Governments of the United States and the Republic
of Panama, whose decisions as to such damages shall be final and whose awards as to
such damages shall be paid solely by the United States. No part of the work on said
Canal or the Panama railroad or on any auxiliary works relating thereto and authorized
by the terms of this treaty shall be prevented, delayed or impeded by or pending such
proceedings to ascertain such damages. The appraisal of said private lands and private
property and the assessment of damages to them shall be based upon their value before
the date of this convention.

13
Article VII

The Republic of Panama grants to the United States within the limits of the cities of
Panama and Colon and their adjacent harbors and within the territory adjacent thereto the
right to acquire by purchase or by the exercise of the right of eminent domain, any lands,
buildings, water rights or other properties necessary and convenient for the construction,
maintenance, operation and protection of the Canal and of any works of sanitation, such
as the collection and disposition of sewage and the distribution of water in the said cities
of Panama and Colon, which, in the discretion of the United States may be necessary and
convenient for the construction, maintenance, operation, sanitation and protection of the
said Canal and railroad. All such works of sanitation, collection and disposition of
sewage and distribution of water in the cities of Panama and Colon shall be made at the
expense of the United States, and the Government of the United States, its agents or
nominees shall be authorized to impose and collect water rates and sewage rates which
shall be sufficient to provide for the payment of interest and the amortization of the
principal of the cost of said works within a period of fifty years and upon the expiration
of said term of fifty years the system of sewers and water works shall revert to and
become the properties of the cities of Panama and Colon respectively, and the use of the
water shall be free to the inhabitants of Panama and Colon, except to the extent that
water rates may be necessary for the operation and maintenance of said system of sewers
and water.
14
The Republic of Panama agrees that the cities of Panama and Colon shall comply in
perpetuity, with the sanitary ordinances whether of a preventive or curative character
prescribed by the United States and in case the Government of Panama is unable or fails
in its duty to enforce this compliance by the cities of Panama and Colon with the sanitary
ordinances of the United States the Republic of Panama grants to the United States the

States, able to maintain such order.

16

The Republic of Panama grants to the United States all rights which it now has or
hereafter may acquire to the property of the New Panama Canal Company and the
Panama Railroad Company as a result of the transfer of sovereignty from the Republic of
Columbia to the Republic of Panama over the Isthmus of Panama and authorizes the
New Panama Canal Company to sell and transfer to the United States its rights,
privileges, properties and concessions as well as the Panama Railroad and all the shares
or part of the shares of that company; but the public lands situated outside of the zone
described in Article II of this treaty now included in the concessions of both said
enterprises and not required in the construction or operation of the Canal shall revert to
the Republic of Panama except any property now owned by or in the possession of said
companies within Panama or Colon or the ports or terminals thereof.

17
Article IX

The United States agrees that the ports at either entrance of the Canal and the waters
thereof, and the Republic of Panama agrees that the towns of Panama and Colon shall be
free for all time so that there shall not be imposed or collected custom house tolls,

taxes of any kind upon any vessel using or passing through the Canal or belonging to or

18

ports and in the towns of Panama and Colon such houses and guards as it may deem
necessary to collect duties on importations destined to other portions of Panama and to
prevent contraband trade. The United States shall have the right to make use of the towns
and harbors of Panama and Colon as places of anchorage, and for making repairs, for
loading, unloading, depositing, or transshipping cargoes either in transit or destined for
the service of the Canal and for other works pertaining to the Canal.

machinery and other works, property, and effects appertaining to the Canal or railroad
and auxiliary works, or their officers or employees, situated within the cities of Panama
and Colon, and that there shall not be imposed contributions or charges of a personal
character of any kind upon officers, employees, laborers, and other individuals in the
service of the Canal and railroad and auxiliary works.

Mrs. MCCASKILL (for herself, Mr. LEAHY, Mr. OBAMA, Mr. COBURN, Mrs.
CLINTON, and Mr. WEBB) submitted the following resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on the Judiciary

APRIL 24, 2008


Reported by Mr. LEAHY, without amendment

APRIL 30, 2008


Considered and agreed to

RESOLUTION
Recognizing that John Sidney McCain, III, is a natural
born citizen.

Whereas the Constitution of the United States requires that,


to be eligible for the Office of the President, a person
must be a ‘‘natural born Citizen’’ of the United States;
Whereas the term ‘‘natural born Citizen’’, as that term ap-
pears in Article II, Section 1, is not defined in the Con-
stitution of the United States;
Whereas there is no evidence of the intention of the Framers
or any Congress to limit the constitutional rights of chil-
erowe on PRODPC61 with BILLS

prevent those children from serving as their country’s
President;
Whereas such limitations would be inconsistent with the pur-
pose and intent of the ‘‘natural born Citizen’’ clause of
the Constitution of the United States, as evidenced by
the First Congress’s own statute defining the term ‘‘nat-
ural born Citizen’’;
Whereas the well-being of all citizens of the United States is
preserved and enhanced by the men and women who are
assigned to serve our country outside of our national bor-
ders;
Whereas previous presidential candidates were born outside
of the United States of America and were understood to
be eligible to be President; and
Whereas John Sidney McCain, III, was born to American
citizens on an American military base in the Panama
Canal Zone in 1936: Now, therefore, be it
1 Resolved, That John Sidney McCain, III, is a ‘‘nat-
2 ural born Citizen’’ under Article II, Section 1, of the Con-
3 stitution of the United States.

COUNTY OF KINGS )

Accordingly, I, Christopher Earl Strunk, being duly sworn, depose and say under

penalty of perjury:

1. That I am the self represented Plaintiff, Christopher Earl Strunk in esse

(Affirmant, Strunk) with place for service at 593 Vanderbilt Avenue – 281 Brooklyn

New York 11238 telephone (845) 901 -6767 and email: chris@strunk.ws.

2. This affirmation supports the Notice of Motion by CPLR §2214 with §2004 for

leave under CPLR §2005 to file Proof of Service with the Clerk of the Court nunc pro

tunc, for the Summons and Complaint with Index 29642-08 filed on or about October

29, 2008, in addition to Express Mail ordered with CPLR §304, duly served December 1,

2008 upon NYS Board of Elections, Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, and Secretary of

State Lorraine A. Cortez-Vazquez, complying with CPLR §307, §308 and related law;

and that there is no previous request for this relief, nor is there another to benefit.

Affidavit in support of leave to file Proof of Service Page 1 of 4


Strunk v Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court of Kings Index No. 29642-08

3. On January 11, 2011, at the hearing of the Notice of Motion for leave to file a

first amended complaint in the case with index 29642-08, argued that Plaintiff is in

good faith with the requirements of the CPLR rules for service, based upon the

information and belief that the original proof of service had been filed during December

2008 by the third party server H, William Van Allen who had confirmed having served

specific Defendants to Plaintiff on December 2, 2008 by email (see Exhibit A).

4. Plaintiff’s prior experience with a third party server is that such due process

requirement is to be completed by that service provider accordingly with an affidavit of

service is by mail or in person delivery upon the clerk of the court; however in this case

service was accomplished but the proof of service was not filed within ten days from

service as required was not done.

5. On January 11, 2011 after the hearing Affirmant went to the court clerk to

discover if the third party server H, William Van Allen had filed the Proof of Service

with the clerk;

6. That Affirmant did find the double captioned proof of service ordered with CPLR

§304 done by Plaintiff Express Mail (see Exhibit B) is marked for 29642-08 as required

notice to Defendants as a related action, was there filed in the folder for 29641-08, and

Affirmant requested the records clerk create a copy (see Exhibit C); but that no Proof of

Service as with CPLR §307 and §308 by the third party server H, William Van Allen

was discovered for 29642-08 in the 29641-08 folder.

7. That on January 11, 2011, Affirmant contacted H, William Van Allen who had in

fact not produced the affidavit within tens days of the December 1, 2008 service as an

honest mistake due to Plaintiff failure to follow-up; and that on January 13, 2011

Affidavit in support of leave to file Proof of Service Page 2 of 4


Strunk v Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court of Kings Index No. 29642-08

H. William Van Allen affirmed the Affidavit for Proof of Service done on December 1,

2008 upon NYS Board of Elections, NYS Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, and NYS

Secretary of State and attached the December 2, 2008 email confirmation thereto (see

Exhibit D).

8. That Plaintiff contends that the 29641-08 Article 78 Petition, with time of the

essence, was absolutely related to further action in the Complaint with Summons

29642-08 and relied directly upon the Original Disposition of Law in the 29642-08 that

would be created by the court in the matter of first impression by the 29641-08 Petition

(see Exhibit E) that determines the degree that Breach of Public Officers fiduciary duty

alleged in the Complaint if Criminal Sedition and Treason is involved in the civil

matter, thereby requires proper simultaneous due notice to those Defendants of

criminal allegations requiring dual notice to Defendants as well as the NYS Attorney

General, since Plaintiff has no authority to proceed in any criminal matters,

9. But Plaintiff contends, there is a responsibility to provide due notice to those in

authority to properly proceed in the civil matter to seek remedy for injury and damages,

and therefore, accordingly Petitioner / Plaintiff had to simultaneously serve both the

Petition of 29641-08 and the Summons with the Complaint 29642-08 on Respondents /

Defendants in order to proceed thereafter or else create a hybrid petition - complaint

that is inadvisable generally.

10. Plaintiff contends that proper service was accomplished on ALL Defendants as

shown by Exhibit C and that the follow-up personal service as under CPLR §307 and

§308 shown in Exhibit D is ancillary to the civil action 29642-08 that depend upon the

original disposition of first impression with the 29641-08 Petition.

Affidavit in support of leave to file Proof of Service Page 3 of 4


Sbumk v Patersoa et al. NYS Supreme Court of Kings IndexNo. 29642-08

11.That DeSendant rights have not been infringedby recognition of the ancillary

peraonal proof aff d c e filing nunc pro tunc, and depended upon supplemental more

dejinite statememt to be made in the civil injury and damages that are directly subject

to the to the notiice given simultaneous with the Article 78 petition as the injury to

Plaintiff r e m h ongoing by the effects of the .fraud alleged by the Defendants


malfeasance in kihe 2008 Election cycle for President and Vice President.

12.That Affhnant knows the foregoing content8 apply to me and my civil injury

with damages a ~ a sa State quegtion involving the questionable seating of the New York

Electoral Collegge after the que~tionableballot access afforded by arbitrary and

capricious actiom afthe NYS Board of Elections et al. for the various Party Presidential

Cmdidate S l a b at the General Election of Nwember 4,2008; the same is true to my

own knawledge;,cexcept as to the matters therein stated to be alleged on information

and belief, and aes to those matters I believe it to be true. The grounds of my beliefs as

to all matters ncdt stated upon intonnation and belief are as follows: third parties, books

and records, and lpersanalknowledge.

DEC-4-2008 05:40P Ff?UM:HON GERRLD HELD 7186437845

Upon the foregoing papers, pro se petitioner Christopher Earl Strunk (petitioner)

moves, by order to show cause, dated October 30, 2008, for an order, pursuant to CPLR

Article 78, prohibiting respondents New York State Governor David A. Paterson, New York

State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, New York State Senate President Pro Tempore

Dean Skelos andNew York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli from serving as electors

of president and vice president of the United States' pursuant to Election Law 4 12-100.

Background

Petitioner has annexed a verified petition dated October 27,2008 (bearing index

number 29641108) and verified complaint dated October 27,2008 (bearing index number

29642108) to the order to show cause herein. The gravamen of the allegations set forth in

both the petition and complaint challenge the 2008 New York Presidential Electoral

College. In this regard, petitioner specifically alleges that the respondents New York

State Governor David A. Paterson, New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo,

New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli and New York State Senate President

Pro Tempore Dean Skelos, who were among the designated electors of President and

Vice President2 chosen in the general election on November 4,2008, violate the New

Petitioner acknowledges in paragraph 4 of his verified petition that respondent New


I

York State Secretary of State Lorraine A. Cortez-Vazquez is "not an elector candidate . . ."
The offices of President and Vice President of the United States, under our
constitutional form of government, are chosen by electors selected by the voters in each State
(U.S. Const., art. 11, 5 1; see N.Y. Const., art. II,5 9). A review of the Election Law reflects this
indirect system of voting for President and Vice President, wherein the provisions consistently
refer to the electors of president and vice president as the offices being chosen by the electorate
of this State (Election Law 6 6-102; see MafferofMahoney v Lomenzo, 21 AD2d 971 [1964],
a m 1 4 NY2d 952 [ I 9641).
DEC-4-2008 05:41P FR0M:HON CERRLD HELD 7186437845

York State Constitution by simultaneously holding two public officer positions and

receiving compensation for both. It is petitioner's contention that the New York State

Constitution bars the designated respondents fiom holding more than one public officer

position for which he or she receives compensation. Additionally, petitioner argues that

respondents, as duly elected public officials, all have a direct and substantive conflict of

interest in also serving as electors in that "each are required to certify and or participate in

their corporate duties in defending themselves and or approving their certification for

employment as an elector and certification for payment of compensation and expenses"

(Strunk Affidavit at 3,7 7). The October 30,2008 order to show cause therefore seeks a

temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction directing those respondents with

more than one public officer position to resign as an elector.

Discussion

Petitioner raises the issue regarding an alleged conflict of interest (incompatibility)

in respondents' simultaneous holding of two public offices. However, one person may

hold two offices simultaneously unless (a) they are incompatible or (b) a constitutional or

statutory prohibition exists against dual office holding.

It is a well-settled common law rule that a public officer cannot hold two

incompatible offices simultaneously (Matter ofsmith v Dillon, 267 App.Div. 39,43

[19431). This rule seeks to prevent ofices of public trust fiom accumulating in a single

individual. Two ofices are incompatible if one is subordinate to the other or there is an
DEC-4-2008 05:41P FR0H:HON GERQLD HELD

inherent inconsistency between the two offices (see People ex rel. Ryan v Green, 58 NY

295,304-05 [1874]; OfMalleyv Macejka, 44 NY2d 530,535 [19781; Matter of Dupras v

County of Clinton, 213 AD2d 952,953 [1995]; Matter of Dykeman v S y m o d , 54 AD2d

159, 162 [1976]; Fauci v Lee, 38 Misc.2d 564,567 [1963], affd.19 ADZd 777 [1963]).

Incompatibility "has been said to exist when there is a built-in right of the holder of one

position to interfere with that of the other . . ." (OfMalley,44 NY2d at 535). Where one

person holds both such posts then "the design that one act as a check on the other would

be frustrated" (id.).

Here, the court has not identified any per se constitutional or statutory prohibition

on an individual simultaneously serving as a public officer while also serving as an

elector of president and vice president. As an initial matter, the court notes that electors

of president and vice president are not classified as "public officers" under New York's

Public Officers Law. Section 2 of the Public Officers Law classifies public officers as

either "state officers" or "local oficers." However local officers include just those

chosen "by the electors of a portion only of the state . . ." thereby making such category

inapplicable herein.

Under the portion of the provision defining "state officer," electors of president

and vice president are expressly excluded from such definition and therefore cannot be

deemed a "public officer" under the statute. Section 2 provides, in pertinent part, that:
DEC-4-2008 05:42P FROM:HON GERALD HELD

"The term 'state officer' includes every officer for whom all
the electors of the state are entitled to vote, members of the
legislature, justices of the supreme court, regents of the
university, and every officer, appointed by one or more state
officers, or by the legislature, and authorized to exercise his
official functions throughout the entire state, or without
limitation to any political subdivision of the state, except
United States senators, members of congress, and electors for
president and vice-president of the United States" (emphasis
added).

Electors of president and vice president are thus specifically excluded from the

state officer definition set forth in the Public Officcrs Law. Hence, the designated

respondents, contrary to petitioner's claims, violate no New York State Constitutional

provision by holding public officer positions while also serving as electors.

The court further concludes that the New York State Constitutional provisions

raised by petitioner do not prohibit the designated respondents fiom holding thcir

respective public offices as well as simultaneously serving as electors even assuming that

electors of president and vice president are public officer positions. In this regard, the

court finds that petitioner's reliance upon Article 111, $7 of the New York State

Constitution as barring the respondents fiom serving as public officers while also serving

as electors of president and vice president is without merit.

Article 111, 5 7, in pertinent part, provides that: "No member of the legislature

shall, during the time for which he or she was elected, receive any civil appointment from

the governor, the governor and the senate, the legislature or froin any city government, to

an ofice which shall have been created, or the emoluments whereof shall have been
DEC-4-2008 85:42P FRMI:HON GERFHD HELD

increased during such time" (emphasis added). Article 111, 8 7 further provides that

acceptance of a permissible appointment thereunder "shall vacate his or her seat in the

legislature" (emphasis added).

This constitutional provision expressly precludes a member of the legislature from

accepting certain appointed as opposed to elected positions. Election Law 4 12-100 '
makes it clear that presidential and vice presidential electors are candidates for office and

therefore elected to said position, not appointed. Consequently, New York State

Constitution Article 111, 6 7 is inapplicable hereinS4

Additionally, the court rejects petitioner's argument that Article XIII, 5 7 of the

Constitution bars respondent public offlcee fiom holding more than one public office for

' Election Law 4 12-100 specifically states as follows:


"At the general election in November preceding the time fixed by
law of the United States for the choice of president and vice
president of the United States, as many electors of president and
vice president of the United States shall be elected, as this state
shall be entitled to. Each vote cast for the candidates of any party
or independent body for president and vice president of the Unitcd
States and each vote cast for m y write-in candidates for such
offices shall be deemed to be cast for the candidates for elector of
such party or independent body or the candidates for elector named
in the certificate of candidacy of such write-in candidates."

' The section remains equally inapplicable even considering the electors as appointed.
Indeed, petitioner has failed to show that m y legislative member serving as an elector herein
gained such position by receiving a "civil appointment fiom the governor, the governor and the
senate, the legislature or from any city government . . ." In addition, petitioner has failed to show
that the position of presidential and vice presidential elector constitutes, as specified in the
section, "an office which shall have been created, or the emoluments whereof shall have been
increased during [the time for which he or she was elected]." The constitutional section in all
respects therefore has no application herein.
DEC-4-2008 85:42P FR0N:HON GERRLD HELD 7186437845

which he receives compensation. Article MII, 7, entitled "Compensation of officers,"

provides as follows:

Each of the state officers named in this constitution shall,


during his or her continuance in office, receive a
compensation, to be fixed by law, which shall not be
increased or diminished during the term for which he or she
shall have been elected or appointed; nor shall he or she
receive to his or her use any fees or perquisites of office or
other compensation.

This constitutional provision governing compensation for state officers and

legislative members prohibits an officer from receiving extra (increased) compensation

beyond his or her regular salary for performing their duties as said officer, and further

bars any decrease in salary during his or her current term of office. This provision does

not expressly forbid a public officer from receiving additional compensation attributable

to simultaneously holding another public office. Clearly, petitioner has failed to establish

that there is any constitutional prohibition against respondents holding their respective

public offices as well as simultaneously serving as electors of president and vice

president. Accordingly, it is

ORDERED that the order to show cause is denied, and the petition is hereby

dismissed.

The foregoing constitutes the decision and order of the court.

1. This is the AFFIDAVIT OF Christopher-Earl: Strunk in esse, Witness at the

January 11, 2011 Hearing on the Notice of Motion for Amended Complaint in

Strunk v Paterson et al. New York State Supreme Court of Kings County Index No.:

29642-08 before the Honorable Supreme Court Justice David I. Schmidt with the

appearance of Joan Duffy, Esq. Supervising Assistant Attorney General for the New

York Attorney General’s Office and Joel Graber, Esq. Special Assistant Attorney

Strunk Affidavit Page 1 of 6


Strunk v. Paterson et al. 29642-08

General representing the State of New York as a party-in-interest opposing the

Motion to Amend the Complaint.

2. After the Court called those in attendance including several law clerks and

the audience to order, the Honorable Justice Schmidt questioned Plaintiff as to the

subject request for relief to amend the complaint and status of the underlying

complaint without there being a recording or transcript of the proceeding.

3. As to the proposed amended complaint, the Court asked whether Plaintiff

expects the Court to remove Barack Hussein Obama from office; to wit Plaintiff

responded “NO” as that remains a Federal matter. Plaintiff seeks a declaratory

judgment as to breach of fiduciary duty by the Defendants failure to provide equal

treatment and protection of Plaintiff along with those similarly situated in regards

to the certification of the Presidential / Vice Presidential candidates ballot access at

the 2008 Election cycle; and as well as plaintiff seeks further discovery as to the

scheme to defraud and unjust enrichment.

4. That Plaintiff stated the NYS Board of Elections never responded to the

request for documentation of the various certifications of ballot access for the

various Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates; and as previously expressed

to the Court Plaintiff had filed in Washington DC a FOIA case 08-cv-2234 for the

travel records of Stanley Ann Dunham germane herein with a motion for summary

judgment decision pending before Judge Richard J. Leon.

5. The Court asked if Plaintiff is seeking to obtain a copy of Barack Hussein

Obama Jr.’s (BHO Jr.) Certified Birth record herein; to wit Plaintiff responded

"NO". Plaintiff seeks a decision by the Court as to whether or not the Candidate(s)

are eligible for Office of President of the United States (POTUS) as required with

Strunk Affidavit Page 2 of 6


Strunk v. Paterson et al. 29642-08

the United States Constitution Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5 as required as a

regulation by the New York State Board of Elections including inter alia based upon

the Certificate of Live Birth published August 21, 2008 by Annenberg Political Fact

Check at FactCheck.org http://www.factcheck.org/elections-

2008/born_in_the_usa.html (see Exhibit A); and that as a prima facie matter

Plaintiff seeks a Court decision herein as to whether or not Obama in fact has Dual

Allegiance, is not a Natural Born Citizen per se but merely a Native-Born citizen if

that; because BHO Jr.’s father, BHO Sr., is a British subject with a student visa at

that time, and is shown to be the purported father of BHO Jr. by both the

newspaper announcement and the COLB shown by Fact Check.org; and therefore,

at best BHO Jr. is only a "Native" born citizen, if that, with only one U.S. Citizen

parent mother as a minor at his birth, and that without two U.S. Citizen parents -

BHO Jr. is NOT a "Natural" born citizen at best is “Native” born.

6. The Court asked to know Plaintiff's understanding of the difference between

"Native" and "Natural" born citizen, to wit Plaintiff explained on a blood and soil

basis as of the Law of Nations as related to the 1961, 1963 and 1969 Vienna

Convention Treaty matters as to citizenship status as with the children of diplomats

and tourists who were not certified admitted by the U.S. Customs Service; and

7. Plaintiff provided the Court with a copy of the SCOTUS decision in

McCreery's Lessee v Somerville 22 US 354 (1824) (see Exhibit B), and

8. That the Court responded favorably to Plaintiff’s argument and contention

expressing familiarity with the difference between the Natural and Native born, as

there is within Jewish law similar precedent and commented that the Court agreed

there is a difference and would read the SCOTUS decision Plaintiff provided.

Strunk Affidavit Page 3 of 6


Strunk v. Paterson et al. 29642-08

9. The Court then asked Mr. Graber to respond; to wit Mr. Graber and Ms.

Duffy were in appearance without representing any specific defendant herein, that

the State contends that based upon the record filed to date Defendants were not

served back in 2008, that Plaintiff has failed to file a default motion as to

defendants within one year, and that the State opposes the Motion for Amended

Complaint to add twenty-four defendants with CPLR 305 that Mr. Graber

especially finds the proposed addition of Zbigniew Brzezinski frivolous.

10. To wit Plaintiff responded first to the proposed addition of Zbigniew

Brzezinski as a necessary party based upon the involvement of Zbigniew Brzezinski

and his sons Ian and Mark early-on to run both the McCain and Obama campaigns

and that Plaintiff contends such involvement is about Zbigniew Brzezinski’s

fixation with Afghanistan going back to 1978; and that Zbigniew Brzezinski nor

anyone is above the law;

11. That Plaintiff explained that had he known that McCain like BHO Jr. was

also not a Natural-born citizen he would not have voted for McCain / Palin and as

there was already a question of eligibility with BHO Jr. as a result of the NYS SOS

and NYS BOE breach of fiduciary duty that a pattern of malice is shown as

to Defendant NYS BOE placing Roger Calero of the Socialist Worker’s Party onto

the ballot, when in fact is a Nicaraguan born and to date is not even a naturalized

citizen should have been kicked off the ballot as done in New Jersey and California;

but to the contrary all were included by NYS BOE Defendants'

malicious maladministration of the law and regulations.

Strunk Affidavit Page 4 of 6


Strunk v. Paterson et al. 29642-08

12. Further, to wit Plaintiff responded in the matter of service of Defendants,

assuring that Defendants were served in 2008 by a third party; however, Plaintiff

would recheck and verify for the Court and update the record.

13. That the Court asked why Plaintiff does not just go ahead and file a new case

rather than try to amend the 2008 case; to wit, Plaintiff based upon information and

belief expressed concern the statutory time that has passed since the 2008 Election

requires Plaintiff standing depend upon amending the case rather than filing a new

one.

14. Further, the Court asked Plaintiff [in regards to the underlying complaint] if

Plaintiff believes there is a civil action for sedition, treason and or conspiracy as

alleged; to wit Plaintiff responded by saying he did not know if a Civil action for

Sedition, Treason, and or conspiracy exists; but that under the New York State civil

rights law there is a cause of action much like 42 USC §1983, and that Plaintiff

emphasized that injuries were caused by Sedition, Treason, conspiracy as well as

fraud as willful failure of the BOE and Secretary of State to provide equal

treatment of ballot certification terms for BHO Jr., McCain and Calero injuring

Plaintiff along with those similarly situated.

15. To wit, the Court held there is no state civil action for sedition, treason and

or conspiracy notwithstanding whether or not Plaintiff’s wording of injury were

intended, is vague.

16. That the Court found that there were so many procedural questions that

would otherwise end up in Appellate Court anyway in that the best way to expedite

the matter of importance requires Plaintiff to proceed as quickly as possible and

therefore entered an order (see Exhibit C):

Strunk Affidavit Page 5 of 6


Slrunk v. Paterson et al. 2964248

T h e motion for leave having come on to be heard, and the Court having

17.That the foregoing is Affirmant's best recollection of the hearing as true and

substantively complete, notwithstanding additional ancillary matters discussed,

and absent a tFansrript of the hearing accordingly wishes by due service upon the

Court &d appearing parties without timely objection, that this affidavitbe duly

The truth about Obama's birth certificate.

Summary
In June, the Obama campaign released a digitally scanned image of his birth
certificate to quell speculative charges that he might not be a natural-born
citizen. But the image prompted more blog-based skepticism about the
document's authenticity. And recently, author Jerome Corsi, whose book
attacks Obama, said in a TV interview that the birth certificate the campaign
has is "fake."

We beg to differ. FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined


and photographed the original birth certificate. We conclude that it meets all
of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship.
Claims that the document lacks a raised seal or a signature are false. We
have posted high-resolution photographs of the document as "supporting
documents" to this article. Our conclusion: Obama was born in the U.S.A. just
as he has always said.

Update, Nov. 1: The director of Hawaii’s Department of Health confirmed Oct.


31 that Obama was born in Honolulu.

Analysis
Update Nov. 1: The Associated Press quoted Chiyome Fukino as saying that
both she and the registrar of vital statistics, Alvin Onaka, have personally
verified that the health department holds Obama's original birth certificate.

Fukino also was quoted by several other news organizations. The Honolulu
Advertiser quoted Fukino as saying the agency had been bombarded by
requests, and that the registrar of statistics had even been called in at home
in the middle of the night.

Honolulu Advertiser, Nov. 1 2008: "This has gotten ridiculous," state


health director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said yesterday. "There are plenty of
other, important things to focus on, like the economy, taxes, energy." . . .
Will this be enough to quiet the doubters? "I hope so," Fukino said. "We
need to get some work done."

Fukino said she has “personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State
Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in
accordance with state policies and procedures."

Since we first wrote about Obama's birth certificate on June 16, speculation

http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/print_born_in_the_usa.html 1/14/2011
FactCheck.org: Born in the U.S.A. Page 2 of 7

on his citizenship has continued apace. Some claim that Obama posted a
fake birth certificate to his Web page. That charge leaped from the
blogosphere to the mainstream media earlier this week when Jerome Corsi,
author of a book attacking Obama, repeated the claim in an Aug. 15
interview with Steve Doocy on Fox News.

Corsi: Well, what would be really helpful is if Senator Obama would


release primary documents like his birth certificate. The campaign has a
false, fake birth certificate posted on their website. How is anybody
supposed to really piece together his life?

Doocy: What do you mean they have a "false birth certificate" on their
Web site?

Corsi: The original birth certificate of Obama has never been released,
and the campaign refuses to release it.

Doocy: Well, couldn't it just be a State of Hawaii-produced duplicate?

Corsi: No, it's a -- there's been good analysis of it on the Internet, and
it's been shown to have watermarks from Photoshop. It's a fake
document that's on the Web site right now, and the original birth
certificate the campaign refuses to produce.

Corsi isn't the only skeptic claiming that the document is a forgery. Among
the most frequent objections we saw on forums, blogs and e-mails are:

z The birth certificate doesn't have a raised seal.


z It isn't signed.
z No creases from folding are evident in the scanned version.
z In the zoomed-in view, there's a strange halo around the letters.
z The certificate number is blacked out.
z The date bleeding through from the back seems to say "2007," but the
document wasn't released until 2008.
z The document is a "certification of birth," not a "certificate of birth."

Recently FactCheck representatives got a chance to spend some time with


the birth certificate, and we can attest to the fact that it is real and three-
dimensional and resides at the Obama headquarters in Chicago. We can
assure readers that the certificate does bear a raised seal, and that it's
stamped on the back by Hawaii state registrar Alvin T. Onaka (who uses a
signature stamp rather than signing individual birth certificates). We even
brought home a few photographs.

The raised seal

Blowup of text

You can click on the photos to get full-size versions, which haven't been
edited in any way, except that some have been rotated 90 degrees for
viewing purposes.

The certificate has all the elements the State Department requires for
proving citizenship to obtain a U.S. passport: "your full name, the full name of
your parent(s), date and place of birth, sex, date the birth record was filed,
and the seal or other certification of the official custodian of such records."
The names, date and place of birth, and filing date are all evident on the
scanned version, and you can see the seal above.

The document is a "certification of birth," also known as a short-form birth


certificate. The long form is drawn up by the hospital and includes additional
information such as birth weight and parents' hometowns. The short form is
printed by the state and draws from a database with fewer details. The
Hawaii Department of Health's birth record request form does not give the
option to request a photocopy of your long-form birth certificate, but their
short form has enough information to be acceptable to the State Department.
We tried to ask the Hawaii DOH why they only offer the short form, among
other questions, but they have not given a response.

The scan released by the campaign shows halos around the black text,
making it look (to some) as though the text might have been pasted on top of
an image of security paper. But the document itself has no such halos, nor

http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/print_born_in_the_usa.html 1/14/2011
FactCheck.org: Born in the U.S.A. Page 5 of 7

do the close-up photos we took of it. We conclude that the halo seen in the
image produced by the campaign is a digital artifact from the scanning
process.

We asked the Obama campaign about the date stamp and the blacked-out
certificate number. The certificate is stamped June 2007, because that's
when Hawaii officials produced it for the campaign, which requested that
document and "all the records we could get our hands on" according to
spokesperson Shauna Daly. The campaign didn't release its copy until 2008,
after speculation began to appear on the Internet questioning Obama's
citizenship. The campaign then rushed to release the document, and the
rush is responsible for the blacked-out certificate number. Says Shauna:
"[We] couldn't get someone on the phone in Hawaii to tell us whether the
number represented some secret information, and we erred on the side of
blacking it out. Since then we've found out it's pretty irrelevant for the outside
world." The document we looked at did have a certificate number; it is 151
1961 - 010641.

Blowup of certificate number

Some of the conspiracy theories that have circulated about Obama are quite
imaginative. One conservative blogger suggested that the campaign might
have obtained a valid Hawaii birth certificate, soaked it in solvent, then
reprinted it with Obama's information. Of course, this anonymous blogger
didn't have access to the actual document and presents this as just one
possible "scenario" without any evidence that such a thing actually happened
or is even feasible.

We also note that so far none of those questioning the authenticity of the
document have produced a shred of evidence that the information on it is
incorrect. Instead, some speculate that somehow, maybe, he was born in
another country and doesn't meet the Constitution's requirement that the
president be a "natural-born citizen."

We think our colleagues at PolitiFact.com, who also dug into some of these
loopy theories put it pretty well: "It is possible that Obama conspired his way
to the precipice of the world’s biggest job, involving a vast network of people

http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/print_born_in_the_usa.html 1/14/2011
FactCheck.org: Born in the U.S.A. Page 6 of 7

and government agencies over decades of lies. Anything’s possible. But step
back and look at the overwhelming evidence to the contrary and your sense
of what’s reasonable has to take over."

In fact, the conspiracy would need to be even deeper than our colleagues
realized. In late July, a researcher looking to dig up dirt on Obama instead
found a birth announcement that had been published in the Honolulu
Advertiser on Sunday, Aug. 13, 1961:

Obama's birth announcement

The announcement was posted by a pro-Hillary Clinton blogger who


grudgingly concluded that Obama "likely" was born Aug. 4, 1961 in Honolulu.

Of course, it's distantly possible that Obama's grandparents may have


planted the announcement just in case their grandson needed to prove his
U.S. citizenship in order to run for president someday. We suggest that those
who choose to go down that path should first equip themselves with a high-
quality tinfoil hat. The evidence is clear: Barack Obama was born in the
U.S.A.

Update, August 26: We received responses to some of our questions from


the Hawaii Department of Health. They couldn't tell us anything about their
security paper, but they did answer another frequently-raised question: why
is Obama's father's race listed as "African"? Kurt Tsue at the DOH told us
that father's race and mother's race are supplied by the parents, and that "we
accept what the parents self identify themselves to be." We consider it
reasonable to believe that Barack Obama, Sr., would have thought of and
reported himself as "African." It's certainly not the slam dunk some readers
have made it out to be.

When we asked about the security borders, which look different from some
other examples of Hawaii certifications of live birth, Kurt said "The borders
are generated each time a certified copy is printed. A citation located on the
bottom left hand corner of the certificate indicates which date the form was
revised." He also confirmed that the information in the short form birth
certificate is sufficient to prove citizenship for "all reasonable purposes."

MCCREERY'S LESSEE V. SOMERVILLE,
22 U. S. 354 (1824) http://supreme.justia.com/us/22/354/case.html
U.S. Supreme Court
McCreery's Lessee v. Somerville, 22 U.S. 9 Wheat. 354 354 (1824)

McCreery's Lessee v. Somerville


22 U.S. (9 Wheat.) 354
ERROR TO THE CIRCUIT
COURT OF MARYLAND

Syllabus
The statute of 11 and 12 William III, c. 6, which is in force in Maryland, removes
the common law disability of claiming title through an alien ancestor, but does not
apply to a living alien ancestor, so as to create a title by heirship, where none
would exist by the common law, if the ancestor were a natural born subject or
citizen. Thus, where A died seized of lands in Maryland, leaving no heirs except
B., a brother, who was an alien, and had never been naturalized as a citizen of
the United States, and three nieces, the daughters of the said B, who were native
citizens of the United States; it was held that they could not claim title by
inheritance through B, their father, he being an alien and still living.

The case agreed stated that William McCreery was seized and possessed of a tract
of land in Baltimore County, in the State of Maryland, called Clover Hill and died
possessed thereof about 1 March, 1814. He had previously executed an instrument
of writing purporting to be his last will and testament, by which he devised the
above tract of land to those under whom the defendant, Somerville, claimed; but it
was witnessed by two persons only, and was therefore inoperative to pass lands in
Maryland, the laws of which require three witnesses to a will for that purpose. W.
McCreery left at his death no children, but a brother, Ralph McCreery, a native
of Ireland, who is still living and who has not been naturalized, and three
nieces, Letitia Barwell, Jane McCreery, and Isabella McCreery, the latter being the
lessor of the plaintiff, who are the daughters of the said Ralph, and native born
citizens of the United States. The devisees under the will applied by petition to
the Legislature of Maryland to confirm the will, and the legislature, accordingly,
without the knowledge or consent of the lessor of the plaintiff, passed an act for
that purpose; saving, nevertheless, the rights of all persons claiming title to the

1
lands devised, by conveyance from any of the heirs of W. McCreery. The action
was brought to recover an undivided third part of Clover Hill.

Upon this case, judgment was rendered by the court below for the defendant, and
the cause was brought by writ of error to this Court.

MR. JUSTICE STORY delivered the opinion of the Court.

The title of the lessor of the plaintiff to recover in this case depends upon the
question whether she can claim as one of the coheirs of her deceased uncle, her
father being an alien and alive at the commencement of the present suit. It is
perfectly clear that at common law her title is invalid, for no person can claim
lands by descent through an alien, since he has no inheritable blood. But the
statute of 11 and 12 Wm. III, ch. 6, is admitted to be in force in Maryland, and that
statute, beyond all controversy, removes the disability of claiming title by
descent, through an alien ancestor. The only point, therefore, is whether the
statute applies to the case of a living alien ancestor, so as to create a title by
heirship where none would exist by the common law, if the ancestor were a
natural born subject.

We have not been able to find any case in England in which this question has been
presented for judicial decision. In the case of Palmer v. Downer, 2 Mass. 179, in
the State of Massachusetts, the facts brought it directly before the court, but it does
not appear to have attracted any particular attention, either from the bar or the
bench. It may then be considered as a question of new impression, and is to be
settled by ascertaining the true construction of the statute of William.
That act is entitled

"An act to enable his Majesty's natural been subjects to inherit the estate of their
ancestors, either lineal or collateral, notwithstanding their father or mother were
aliens."

The title is not unimportant, and manifests an intention merely to remove the
disability of alienage. It proceeds to enact

"That all and every person or persons, being the King's natural born subject or
subjects within any of the King's realms or dominions, should and might,
thereafter, inherit and be inheritable, as heir or heirs, to any honors, &c., lands,
&c., and make their pedigrees and titles, by descent, from any of their ancestors,
lineal or collateral, although the father and mother, or father or mother, or other

2
ancestor, of such person or persons by, from, through, or under whom he, she, or
they should or might make or derive their title or pedigree were or was or should
be born out of the King's allegiance and out of his Majesty's realms and dominions
as freely, fully, and effectually, to all intents and purposes, as if such father and
mother, or father or mother, or other ancestor or ancestors, by, from, through, or
under whom he, she, or they should or might make or derive their title or pedigree,
had been naturalized, or natural born subjects."

In construing this enactment, it ought not to escape observation that the language is
precisely such as Parliament might have used if the intention were confined to the
mere removal of the disability of alienage. It declares that persons might lawfully
inherit and be inheritable as heirs, and make their titles and pedigrees, by descent,
from any of their ancestors, although their parents were born out of the realm;
plainly supposing that they might take as heirs by descent, but for the circumstance
of the alienage of the intermediate ancestors, through whom they must claim. It
speaks of such intermediate ancestors, as persons who were or should be born out
of the realm, and it enables the party to take, as heir, as effectually as if such
ancestors had been natural born subjects. Now this language imports no more
than a removal of the defect, for want of inheritable blood. It does not, in terms,
create a right of heirship, where the common law, independently of alienage,
prohibits it; it puts the party in the same situation, and none other, that he would be
in, if his parents were not aliens. If his parents were natural born subjects, and
capable to take as heirs of the deceased ancestor, it is clear that he could not inherit
by descent through them, as they would intercept the title, as nearer heirs. The only
cases in which he could inherit, living his parents, are those where the common
law has prohibited the parents from taking, although they have inheritable blood.
Such are the cases of a descent from brother to brother, and from a nephew to an
uncle, where the common law has disabled the parents of the deceased brother or
nephew from taking the estate by descent, upon the ground that inheritances cannot
lineally ascend. 2 Bl.Comm. 208, 212, and Christian's Note.

If the legislature had intended, not only to create inheritable blood, but also to
create absolute heirship, some explanatory language would have been used. The
statute would have declared, not only that the party should make title by descent; in
the same manner as if his parents were natural born subjects, but that he should
be deemed the heir, whether his parents were living or dead. No such explanation
is given or hinted at, and if we are to insert it, it is by expounding the language
beyond its obvious meaning and limitations. We do not feel at liberty to adopt this
mode of interpretation in a case where no legislative intention can be fairly inferred
beyond the ordinary import of the words.

3
This construction is not impugned by the explanatory act, afterwards passed in 25
Geo. II, ch. 39. It seems that inconveniences were apprehended, in case persons
should be held by the statute of William, to gain a future capacity to inherit, who
did not exist at the death of the persons last seized. The statute of Geo. II therefore,
after reciting the act of William, declares, that it shall not be construed to give any
right or title to any persons to inherit as heirs, &c., by enabling any such persons to
claim, or derive their pedigree, through any alien ancestor, unless the persons so
claiming
"were, or shall be, in being, and capable to take the same estate as heir or heirs,
&c., by virtue of the said statute, at the death of the person who shall last die
seized," and to whom they shall claim to be heir or heirs.

Then follows a proviso,

"That in case the person or persons who shall be in being, and capable to take, at
the death of the ancestor, so dying seized, &c., and upon whom the descent shall be
cast, by virtue of this act, or of the said recited act, shall happen to be a daughter
or daughters of an alien, and that the alien father or mother, through whom such
descent shall be derived by such daughter or daughters, shall afterwards have a
son born within any of his Majesty's realms or dominions, the descent, so cast
upon such daughter or daughters, shall be divested in favor of such son, and such
son shall inherit and take the estate, in like manner as is allowed by the common
law of this realm, in cases of the birth of a nearer heir."

Then follows a provision for the case of the subsequent birth of a daughter, who is
enabled to take as a coheir with the other daughters. It has been argued that this
proviso includes the cases of all children born after the descent cast in the lifetime
of their alien parents, and therefore supposes the descent may be cast,
notwithstanding their parents are living. Admitting this to be the true construction
of the proviso, and that it is not restrained to posthumous children, the case of the
plaintiff is not aided by it, for the clause, that the son shall take, in like manner as
is allowed by the common law, in cases of the birth of a nearer heir, shows that
Parliament had in view cases where the children might, at common law, take as
heirs, although their parents were living; and yet the common law divested the title,
so cast by descent, upon the birth of a nearer heir. For instance, if lands are given
to a son, who dies, leaving a sister his heir, if the parents have, at any distance of
time afterwards, another son, the common law divests the descent upon the sister in
favor of such son, and he is entitled to take the estate as heir to his brother. 2
Bl.Comm. 208, Christian's Note, 5 Co.Litt. 11, Doct. & Stud. 11 Dialog. c. 7.

4
We think, then, that this proviso does not shake the construction, already given by
us, to the statute of William. For here the case of after-born children is expressly
provided for, which would otherwise be excluded by the declaratory clause of the
statute, and if it was contemplated that the act of William created a new title, by
heirship, independently of alienage in the parents, beyond the rules of the common
law, the natural presumption is that the declaratory clause would, in some manner,
have expressed that intention. So far from affirming a new title, by heirship, it
asserts that the true construction of that statute excludes all persons who were not
in being at the time of the descent cast, and then "capable to take the estate as heir
or heirs, &c., by virtue of the said statute of William," and we have already seen,
that the terms of that statute give no other capacity than would exist if the parents
were natural born subjects. The exception, then, of after-born children, out of the
declaratory clause of the act of George II, carries no implication that the legislature
was dealing with any other cases except those where, if the alien parents were
living at the time of the descent cast, the children were capable of taking, as heirs
at common law, in their own right, independently of the alienage. Mr. Justice
Blackstone, in his learned Commentaries, 2 Bl.Comm. 251, gives no explanation
of these statutes, which extends them beyond such cases, and his omission to
notice the larger construction, now contended for by the plaintiff, would be
somewhat remarkable if that had been deemed the true interpretation of the
statutes.

In the absence of all authority, we do not feel ourselves at liberty to derogate from
the general doctrine of the common law as to descents, by incorporating into the
statute of William a case which is not within its terms, and is not called for by any
clear legislative policy.

Judgment affirmed with costs.

Plaintiff, Christopher-Earl: Strunk in esse, as and for the First Amended Complaint to the

Complaint filed with the clerk on or about October 29, 2008 with jurisdiction of New York

State Election Law Article §16-100 over Article 12 for the November 4, 2008 General

Election inter alia equity relief and damages, that upon information and belief and at all

times hereinafter mentioned, respectfully allege of captioned Defendants as follows:

First Amended Complaint Page 1 of 30


Strunk v. NYS BOE et al. NYS Supreme Court County of Kings 29642-08

FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION

(Breach of State Constitutional fiduciary duty as against all Public Officer Defendants)

1. Plaintiff Christopher-Earl: Strunk, in esse (“Plaintiff” or “voter”), is a natural born

Citizen resident in New York who was and is a qualified voter registered to vote in the 2008

election cycle and participate in the November 4, 2008 General Election in the State of New

York, and whose principal place for service is located at 593 Vanderbilt Avenue #281,

Brooklyn, New York 11238.

2. That Defendant NEW YORK STATE BOARD OF ELECTIONS, (Defendant NYS BOE)

with four commissioners two appointed from each major state party Defendant JAMES A.

WALSH / Co-Chair, Defendant DOUGLAS A. KELLNER / Co-Chair, Defendant EVELYN

J. AQUILA / Commissioner, Defendant GREGORY P. PETERSON / Commissioner, and

two deputy directors of elections Deputy Director Defendant TODD D. VALENTINE,

Deputy Director Defendant STANLEY ZALEN, are all located at the New York State Board

of Elections 40 Steuben Street Albany, NY 12207, and

3. Defendant NYS BOE and its agents have authority over their agents at the local boards

of election both for ballot access and the certification of the Presidential Elector Candidates

slates and committees for the names Barack Hussein Obama (BHO, SOEBARKAH), John

M. McCain III (McCain) and Roger Calero (Calero) hereinafter known as “Defendant

Presidential Candidate(s)” with the November 4 2008 General Election results published.

4. Based upon information and belief the Presidential Elector Candidate Defendants as a

class represented by Andrew Cuomo having replaced David Paterson as Governor on the

Democratic side and Republican Majority leader Dean Skelos representing the McCain

Electors plus Defendant LORRAINE A. CORTEZ-VAZQUEZ as then secretary of state

appointed by Governor Paterson and Spitzer, now replaced by RUTH NOEMÍ COLÓN New

First Amended Complaint Page 2 of 30


Strunk v. NYS BOE et al. NYS Supreme Court County of Kings 29642-08

York State Acting Secretary of State; that according to the Help America to Vote Act of 2002

(HAVA) section 213 (a) (1) (A) are in their Official capacity both a Federal and State officers

who each serve as an unpaid employee of the United States Election Assistance

Commission (EAC), as a Federal employee and represent the Class of the Calero Electors

along with those of the Cuomo and Skelos classes; and that the Cuomo appointee, RUTH

NOEMÍ COLÓN is located at the Department of State One Commerce Plaza 99 Washington

Ave, Albany, NY 12231-0001).

5. The Defendants NYS BOE their agents John and Jane Does and LORRAINE A.

CORTEZ-VAZQUEZ represent the class of presidential electors and their agents as an

enterprise having misapplied and mis-administered their public officer fiduciary duties

under NYS BOE regulation by failure to obtain and ascertain proof that each Defendant

Presidential Candidate is a natural-born Citizen (NBC), that otherwise is contrary to State

Law, regulations and the United States Constitution Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5:

“No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time
of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither
shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of
thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”

6. Based upon information and belief the State Defendants, Defendant Presidential

Candidates, various Defendant Campaign Committees and their agents have not presented

a certified copy of the “long-form” birth certificate of the Defendant Presidential Candidates

for ballot access to the New York November 4, 2008 General Election / 2008 election cycle.

7. That based upon information and belief the NYS BOE has not maintained the

consistency of Presidential Candidate Certificate documents used for ballot access by mal-

administration of the law and regulations.

8. There has never legally been an Article II Executive who has ever been a native born,

naturalized citizen or a non-citizen as it is against the mandate of the U.S. Constitution

First Amended Complaint Page 3 of 30


Strunk v. NYS BOE et al. NYS Supreme Court County of Kings 29642-08

Article II Section 1 Clause 5 a candidate be a natural-born U.S. Citizen to be eligible.

9. There has never legally been an Article II Executive who is a citizen of a foreign nation

and or has dual allegiance with a foreign nation.

10. That the Supreme Court of the United State opinion in McCreery's Lessee v

Somerville 22 US 354 (1824) explains the difference between a Natural-born and Native-

born U.S. Citizen as is to be applied with U.S. Constitution Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5.

11. That were the executive to be occupied by a foreign citizen would constitute an

invasion, coup-d-tat and trespass upon the sovereign citizen of New York a taking as of

right under the 10th Amendment become the basis for New York state and its People to

secede from the Union until such time the Union were made whole and laws enforced again.

12. Those Defendant BOE and Presidential Electors having been duly served prior to

the general election knew they have a duty to prevent any person who is not a natural born

citizen from ballot access in the state of New York when running for President and or Vice

President and have maliciously acted contrary to their fiduciary duty.

13. Those Officer Defendants and the NYS BOE have not fulfilled the due diligence

necessary to protect the voter(s), are ultra vires and are individually liable.

14. That Defendant NYS BOE and its agents certified the Elector Defendants for each

Defendant Presidential Candidate to be on the ballot at the November 4, 2008 General

Election for the preference election of the New York Electoral College;

15. That under the New York State Constitution the State of New York Legislature has

a winner take all system of Electoral College with 31 votes for selection of President and

Vice President based upon 29 House seats and two (2) U.S. Senators at large.

16. That Defendant SOEBARKAH (a.k.a Barry Soetoro, a.k.a. Birdie Dunham, a.k.a.

Barack Hussein Obama III, Defendant Democrat Presidential Candidate) individually

under the name Barack Hussein Obama is located in care of c/o The White House 1600

First Amended Complaint Page 4 of 30


Strunk v. NYS BOE et al. NYS Supreme Court County of Kings 29642-08

Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, District of Columbia 20500, and is a Madrasah

trained radical Sunni Muslim by birth right according to the Koran through his father

Barack Hussein Obama Sr. (a Sunni Muslim), and that by training and practice admitted

during the speech to the Muslim Brotherhood in Cairo in 2009 – SOEBARKAH practices

Shariah law, and is devoted to King Saud of Saudi Arabia who based upon information paid

for the Columbia and Harvard university expenses with the full knowledge and blessing of

Defendant Zbigniew Brzezinski, his sons Mark and Ian and George Soros.

17. Defendant Soebarkah practices Al takia or the Islamist art of fooling the enemy and

professes to be a Christian when in fact a Muslim is a liar by training - never to be trusted.

18. Defendant SOEBARKAH admits his natural father at the time of his birth is a

citizen of the United Kingdom and as the British Nationality Act of 1948 governs dual

citizenship at birth; Soebarkah has dual allegiance at best by his own admission.

19. That Rep. John Bingham, author of the 14th Amendment, Congressional Globe,

39th, 1st Sess., pg 1291 (March 9, 1866) stated:

“… every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents
not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your
Constitution itself, a natural-born citizen.”

20. That Defendant SOEBARKAH and or his agent(s) as part of the scheme to defraud

placed an image of a Hawaiian Certification of Live Birth (COLB) on the Internet, which in

Hawaii per se is issued for all birth's registered by the State of Hawaii whether the human

being is born there or not, and as a prima facia fact means the Hawaii issued COLB does

not prove "natural born" citizenship or birth in Hawaii, only a long form document would.

21. Whether Hawaii was a territory or a state, historically it issued a COLB certifying

that the named person was born alive no matter where that may have been as evidenced by

the COLB; and for instance Sun Yat-sen was born on 12 November 1866 to a Hakka family

in the village of Cuiheng, Xiangshan (later Zhongshan) county, Guangzhou prefecture,

First Amended Complaint Page 5 of 30


Strunk v. NYS BOE et al. NYS Supreme Court County of Kings 29642-08

Guangdong province (26 km or 16 miles north of Macau), in the Empire of the Great Qing of

China. At age thirteen, Sun went to live with his elder brother, Sun Mei, in Honolulu. Sun

Mei, who was fifteen years Sun Yat-sen's senior, had emigrated to the Hawaiian Islands as

a laborer and had become a prosperous merchant. Sun Yat-sen studied at the Iolani School

where he learned English, mathematics and science. Originally unable to speak the English

language, Sun Yat-sen picked up the language so quickly that he received a prize for

outstanding achievement from King David Kalākaua. While at Iolani, he befriended Tong

Phong, who later founded the First Chinese- American Bank. After attending Iolani School,

from which he graduated in 1882, Sun enrolled in Oahu College (now Punahou School, the

same private school where BHO was educated) for further studies for one semester. He was

soon sent home to China as his brother was becoming afraid that Sun Yat-sen was about to

embrace Christianity, which he did, but he returned to Hawaii at least twice, in 1900 and

1901. In March 1904, he obtained a Certificate of live Hawaiian Birth, issued by the

Territory of Hawaii, stating he was born on November 24, 1870 in Kula, Maui, and just as

the BHO HI COLB alleges he also was alive at birth on August 4, 1961 in Honolulu Oahu

just like Sun was born on November 24, 1870 in Kula, Maui. The HI law as used remains

the same in meaning and intent, and that BHO dual allegiance and dual citizenship at

birth alone is more than sufficient to prove BHO ineligible.

22. A COLB issued to those who are "naturalized" in Hawaii is of questionable legal

issue contrary to U.S. Constitution Article 1 §8 Clause 4, Article I §9 Clause 1, Article 1 §10

Clause 1, and as a matter of first impression conflicts with the full faith and credit clause.

23. That Defendant SOEBARKAH at six years of age used the name given upon his

adoption by Lolo S. Soetoro Mangunharjo, an Indonesian colonel in General Suharto's

Armed Forces who had married Stanley Ann Obama, and as an Indonesian Citizen from six

years of age SOEBARKAH is presumed to have an Indonesian passport after removal from

First Amended Complaint Page 6 of 30


Strunk v. NYS BOE et al. NYS Supreme Court County of Kings 29642-08

the U.S. Passport of Stanley Ann Soetoro as released to Plaintiff on July 29, 2010 by the

U.S. Department of State.

24. That Defendant SOEBARKAH is not eligible for the Office of the President because

with the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952 as the controlling legal authority for the birth of

BHO, and especially when the transmission of British citizenship to BHO at birth no

matter where the location is proves a dual citizen at birth, as a treaty matter between

Britain and the USA, and that with the admission against interest of both Stanley Ann

Dunham Obama and Barack Hussein Obama Sr. in a marriage in Hawaii entered after

conception, in which both parents attribute Paternity to BHO Sr. without challenge at the

time of the March 20, 1964 divorce decree makes BHO Jr. a British subject with dual

citizenship and multi-allegiances at best that by the 1952 McCarran-Walter Act, therefore

BHO Jr. is not a Natural Born Citizen; and

25. Further, Defendant SOEBARKAH lost his U.S. citizenship when his mother married

an Indonesian citizen and became a naturalized citizen of Indonesia and in that Indonesia

does not recognize dual citizenship, and because Defendant SOEBARKAH did not take an

oath of allegiance to the USA when reaching the proper age while resident in the USA

retains Indonesian Citizenship having renounced his previous U.S. Naturalized citizenship

/ British Citizen status; and

26. Plaintiff furthermore alleges, that had SOEBARKAH followed up with his resident

status after 1971 while living with his Grandmother in Hawaii to become naturalized, he

failed to take an oath of allegiance when SOEBARKAH turned 18 years old to regain his

U.S. citizenship status, and then obtained school financing as a foreign exchange student in

Hawaii and again at Occidental College in Los Angeles as done at Columbia and Harvard,

at best has multiple citizenship status with allegiances to Indonesia, Great Britain, Kenya

perhaps; however is not a natural-born citizen of the United States and according to the

First Amended Complaint Page 7 of 30


Strunk v. NYS BOE et al. NYS Supreme Court County of Kings 29642-08

public record is not even a citizen of the United States, and therefore, ineligible for the

presidency with NBC Clause as mandated by the Defendant NYS BOE; and

27. The Defendant class of the New York State Democratic Party Committee Candidates

for Presidential Electoral College from the State of New York for Presidential Candidate

Barack Hussein Obama and Vice Presidential Candidate Joseph Biden (“Democrat Party

Elector Candidates”, “Democrat Party Elector Defendants”) as a class of elector candidates

Defendants certified with the New York State Board of Elections and related local entities

under New York state Election Law (EL) on or about September 24, 2008.

28. That on August 28, 2008 Defendant NANCY PELOSI individually with her place of

business located at Washington, D.C. Address 235 Cannon House Office Building

Washington, DC 20515-0508, and as chair failed to affirm for the Democratic National

Committee and DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK

(NYDP) the eligibility of BHO for ballot access in the State of New York November 4, 2008

General Election using the terms that “the following were duly nominated as candidates of

said Party for President and Vice President of the United States respectively:” and nowhere

affirms that the candidates are eligible as required by the NYS BOE as shown at its

website provisions citing Article II Section 1 Clause 5 in any of the several states and or

territories except for the State of Hawaii; however Defendant Pelosi as an admission

against interest also affirmed differently for Hawaii as follows:

29. That on August 28, 2008 Defendant Pelosi individually and as Chair affirmed the

alleged eligibility of BHO for ballot access in the State of Hawaii November 4, 2008 General

Election differently than done for any other state or territory including New York using the

terms that “the following candidates for President and Vice President of the United States

are legally qualified to serve under the provisions of the United States Constitution” as

certified for the Hawaii Secretary of State.

First Amended Complaint Page 8 of 30


Strunk v. NYS BOE et al. NYS Supreme Court County of Kings 29642-08

30. That on September 15, 2008, Defendant STATE COMMITTEE OF THE WORKING

FAMILIES PARTY OF NEW YORK STATE (NYWFP) by Robert P. Master Presiding

Officer affirmed the alleged eligibility of BHO and the electors for ballot access in the State

of New York November 4, 2008 General Election using the terms that “by majority vote of

the members present, voting by weighted ballot, nominate the following Working Families

Party candidates for office at the General election to be held November 4, 2008:” nowhere

affirms the Constitutional eligibility of BHO.

31. That the Democratic Party Elector Candidates are Velda Jeffrey, June F. O'Neill,

Dennis Mehiel, David A. Paterson, Andrew Cuomo, Thomas P. DiNapoli, Sheldon Silver,

Malcom Smith, Maria Luna, Robert Master, Pamela Green-Perkins, Helen D. Foster, Jon

Cooper, Hakeem Jeffries, Richard Fife, Deborah A. Slott, Terrence Yang, George Arthur,

George Gresham, Alan Van Capelle, Inez Dickens, Suzy Ballantyne, Alan Lubin, Bethaida

Gonzalez, Christine Quinn, William Thompson, Stuart Applebaum, Maritza Davila, Ivan

Young, Barbara Fiala, Frank A. Bolz, III.

32. That in November 2008 the Court rendered an opinion in association with the

Article 78 Petition 2008/29641 held that there is no breach of the State Constitution or bar

for any Electoral College Elector to hold more than one public office for compensation and

that all the democratic electors were duly served notice of both actions including the

underlying complaint herein regarding the improper ballot access for Barack Hussein

Obama before the November election, and that otherwise Plaintiff is damaged and injured

as a result of the Democratic Electors breach of duty as to ballot access for Presidential

Candidates Obama, McCain, and Calero.

33. Plaintiff seeks a decision by the Court as to whether or not the Candidate(s) are

eligible for Office of President of the United States (POTUS) as required with the United

States Constitution Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5 as required as a regulation by the New

First Amended Complaint Page 9 of 30


Strunk v. NYS BOE et al. NYS Supreme Court County of Kings 29642-08

York State Board of Elections including inter alia based upon the Certificate of Live Birth

published August 21, 2008 by Annenberg Political Fact Check at FactCheck.org

http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/born_in_the_usa.html ; and that as a prima facie

matter Plaintiff seeks a Court decision herein as to whether or not Obama in fact has Dual

Allegiance, is not a Natural Born Citizen per se but merely a Native-Born citizen if that;

because BHO Jr.’s father, BHO Sr., is a British subject with a student visa at that time,

and is shown to be the purported father of BHO Jr. by both the newspaper announcement

and the COLB shown by Fact Check.org; and therefore, at best BHO Jr. is only a "Native"

born citizen, if that, with only one U.S. Citizen parent mother as a minor at his birth, and

that without two U.S. Citizen parents - BHO Jr. is NOT a "Natural" born citizen at best is

“Native” born - no matter where BHO was born the HI COLB does not prove NBC status;

34. That Defendant ROGER CALERO (Defendant Calero, Presidential Candidate) with

place for service located at the Committee Address: 1000 Grand Concourse, #4A Bronx, NY

10451, was born in Nicaragua in 1969. He and his family fled via Los Angeles, California in

1985. Calero is now a permanent resident alien (holding a green card) since 1990. While in

Los Angeles, Calero joined a socialist movement and helped mobilize support against

Proposition 187 in the early 90s, and is presumed to have filed a certification for ballot

access through the respective Defendant Socialist Worker’s Party Committee, but is not a

natural-born U.S. Citizen with the U.S. Constitution Article II Section 1 Clause 5 as

mandated by the Defendant NYS BOE.

35. In that on April 10, 2008 as part of the scheme to defraud, U.S. Senator Barack

Hussein Obama was the Sponsor of the U.S. Senate sense resolution S 511 along with other

U.S. Senators Mrs. MCCASKILL, Mr. LEAHY, Mr. COBURN, Mrs. CLINTON, and Mr.

WEBB, and who maliciously submitted the S 511 resolution knowing it was false as to the

natural-born Citizen status of Senator John Sidney McCain III, in violation of 18 USC

First Amended Complaint Page 10 of 30


Strunk v. NYS BOE et al. NYS Supreme Court County of Kings 29642-08

§1001; and in which S 511 was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary then to the U.S.

Senate as a fraud upon Congress and the People of the several states and territories

contrary to the facts stated:

“Whereas John Sidney McCain, III, was born to American citizens on an American
military base in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936:”

36. That U.S. Senator Barack Hussein Obama acknowledges endorsing Senate

Resolution 511 that one needs two (2) U.S.A. Citizen parents at birth to be qualified to be a

natural born citizen.

37. Further by U.S. Senate resolution is underscored and confirmed by the Honorable

United States District Judge Michael Chertoff then serving as the Secretary of Homeland

Security in testimony under oath before the U.S. Senate Committee and as reprinted in the

Congressional Record pages S2950 and S2951 stated:

CHERTOFF. “My assumption and my understanding is that if you are born of


American parents, you are naturally a natural-born American citizen.”

38. That on November 30, 2007, Barack Hussein Obama II, and on October 9th 2007,

John Sidney McCain III each affirmed an affidavit for the Arizona Secretary of State to

39. That on November 4, 2008, Plaintiff, as a victim of the scheme to defraud, voted for

winner take all Electoral College from New York; and thereafter was discovered not a

natural-born U.S. Citizen.

40. That Defendant JOHN SIDNEY MCCAIN III individually with place of business

located at Washington Office: 241 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510,

41. In good faith with the alleged NBC status as part of the scheme to defraud, Plaintiff

voted for Candidate McCain despite the fact that his wife is a most devoted Roman Catholic

whose two sons were educated by Jesuit priests went to Brophy Prep, School where Mrs.

McCain is a member of Brophy's board of regents and where the McCains have been

generous supporters of Brophy by support of vouchers for Catholic schools like Brophy.

42. Unbeknownst to Plaintiff, Father Edward Reese S.J., who is the brother of Fr.

Thomas J. Reese S.J., (former editor of America and senior fellow at the Woodstock

Theological Center at Georgetown University), spoke in support for Candidate McCain at

the Republican National Convention at the direction of the Jesuits at Fordham University

controlling the Archbishop of New York City and the Jesuits of Georgetown University

controlling the Archbishop of Washington, DC; and notwithstanding the requirements of

the Vienna Convention of Consular Affairs that agents of a sovereign state not interfere

with the domestic affairs of the USA.

43. Defendant John Sidney McCain III was born on August 29, 1936 in Colon Hospital,

Colon Panama, according to the Panama Canal Health Department not in the Panama

Canal Zone, which is authenticated by Donald Lynn Lamb representing the Panama

Railroad Company with authority over the Hospital in Colon; and

44. That according to the Hay-Banau-Varilla Treaty of November 18, 1903 that has 26

articles in which the two pertinent to the status of the city of Colon under that Treaty refer

to the Convention for the Construction of a Ship Canal says that the Colon Panama, the

birth city cited on McCain’s 1936 long form birth certificate where he was witnessed being

occupation and control of a zone of land and land under water for the construction
maintenance, operation, sanitation and protection of said Canal of the width of ten miles

Canal to be constructed; the said zone beginning in the Caribbean Sea three marine miles
from mean low water mark and extending to and across the Isthmus of Panama into the
Pacific ocean to a distance of three marine miles from mean low water mark WITH THE
PROVISO THAT THE CITIES OF PANAMA AND COLON and the harbors adjacent to
said cities, WHICH ARE INCLUDED WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE ZONE

(Scheme to defraud Plaintiff and those similarly situated as against all Defendants)

53. Plaintiff repeats each and every allegation contained in the First Cause of Action

with the same force and effect as though herein set forth at length.

54. ALL Defendants act in the scheme to defraud Plaintiffs and those similarly situated

in denial of a reasonable expectation of successful participation in the suffrage process in

conjunction with the private organizations known as the Council on Foreign Relations with

an exclusive secret oath superseding any oath to the U.S. and or respective State

Constitution (CFR) and Sovereign Military Order of Malta (SMOM) directed by the Jesuit

General, used Zbigniew Brzezinski, George Soros, Fethullah Gulen with Fr. Thomas Michel

S.J. and the Gulen Movement with the Muslim Brotherhood here in Brooklyn (as with

Soebarkah and Fr. Gregory Galluzzo, S.J.) to recreate a worldwide Caliphate, in a push for

destruction of the Al-Aqsa Mosque to be blamed on the USA Military as the Stage Three

described in U.S. DOS Publication 7277 to facilitate the final temple of Babylon using the

and Republican Guard candidate McCain since 1999 who co-authored, Faith of My Fathers

First Amended Complaint Page 15 of 30


Strunk v. NYS BOE et al. NYS Supreme Court County of Kings 29642-08

and who both act together to reduce the United States of America to a mere territorial

region without sovereignty.

55. The actual scheme to defraud the voters in 2008 began in earnest on February 22,

2006 when the Editor of the Chicago-Kent Law School Law Review, Sarah P. Herlihy

(Kirkland & Ellis LLP), published a memorandum with approved edits of 11-23-05 entitled

AMENDING THE NATURAL BORN CITIZEN REQUIREMENT: GLOBALIZATION AS

THE IMPETUS AND THE OBSTACLE at Vol. 81: 275 , and with a special footnote

designating the author has a J.D. from Chicago-Kent College of Law, 2005 and “that the

author would like to thank Professor Graeme Dinwoodie, and the 2004–2005 Globalization

and Its Effect on Domestic Law Seminar Class for their valuable comments and insights on

this Note.” (see http://www.scribd.com/doc/48927079)

56. The key to understanding the scheme to defraud the voters in 2008 is the way the

circumvention of U.S. Constitution Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5 required two not one

version of a candidate with flaws Barack Hussein Obama II and John Sidney McCain III.

57. That in the Herlihy memorandum Part one of the paper provides a brief history and

overview of the natural born citizen requirement. Part two discusses the rational reasons

for abolishing this requirement and describes why the increase in globalization makes

abolishing the natural born citizen requirement more necessary than ever. Part three

presents the arguments against allowing naturalized citizens to be eligible for the

presidency and identifies common beliefs about globalization that will cause Americans to

rely on emotion and oppose a Constitutional amendment.

58. That according to Sarah P. Herlihy’s resume on line with the International Law firm

of Kirkland & Ellis LLP in Chicago after Ms. Herlihy was the Law Clerk to the Honorable

Michael M. Mihm, United States District Court for the Central District of Illinois, 2005 –

2006 she has been employed by the firm and in the resume she is listed with receiving the

First Amended Complaint Page 16 of 30

61. The Jesuits, SMOM, CFR and OPUS DEI (documented by Plaintiff in the EDNY

Case Strunk v CIA et al. 08-cv-1196) are agents of the Holy See and the Vatican sovereign

state, as agents fail to follow 18 USC Chapter 45, Vienna Conventions and related law.

62. Plaintiff’s expert witness Eric Jon Phelps affirms that the CFR and its affiliates, overseen

by the Archbishop of New York City and his Knights of Malta at the direction of the Pope of

Rome on orders of the Jesuit General, are to rebuild the Kingdom of Babylon including the City

of Babylon. This quest will be pursued under the guise of establishing a new Sunni Caliphate

with its capital in Baghdad after the destruction of the Temple Mount Mosques as well as Mecca

and Medina, which destruction will be blamed upon the USA during this present Papal Crusade

in the Middle East. There will be built a Third Hebrew Temple in Jerusalem and a Temple in

First Amended Complaint Page 17 of 30


Strunk v. NYS BOE et al. NYS Supreme Court County of Kings 29642-08

Babylon. The dicta of the Vatican mandates the Kingdom of Babylon, from Dubai to Baghdad,

will be the new economic capital of the world headed by the final Pope of Rome, murdered and

risen from the dead to be the Antichrist/Man-Beast/King of Babylon.

63. On May 28, 2010, in an radio interview with Eric Jon Phelps, in the context of a review

of Hosea 3:4-5; 6:1-2 and Romans 11:25, Count Vittorio Vivaldi III of Venice Italy proves

Islam is a Creation of the Vatican stated: “The Papacy created Islam to annihilate the Pope’s

Jewish and non-Roman Catholic Christian enemies.” States, “the Koran was completed in 649

AD Rome under Pope Theodore I…it appears, however, after further review, the Koran was

completed in 632 AD during the pontificate of Pope Honorius I (625-638 AD), later accursed by

Rome as a “heretic.”

64. And for which Count Vivaldi confirms what the ex-Jesuit priest, Alberto Rivera

stated in an interview of December 11, 2001 of How the Vatican created Islam

(see transcript at http://www.scribd.com/doc/48923143 ), which was told to him by Jesuit

Cardinal Augustin Bea while he was at the Vatican, and that based upon secret records in

the Vatican Library confirm starting in the third century the Vatican desperately wanted to

control Jerusalem acted through the Augustinian Monks to create Mohammed as the

Islamic messiah, wrote the Koran whose manuscripts are at the Vatican and prove "The

pope moved quickly and issued bulls granting the Arab generals permission to invade and

conquer the nations of North Africa. The Vatican helped to finance the building of these

massive Islamic armies in exchange for three favors”

65. To that end, both CFR members Zbigniew Kaimierz Brzezinski and George Soros

(aka George Schwartz) are directed by the Knight of Malta Peter G. Peterson, senior chair

and co-founder of The Blackstone Group, founding chair of the Institute for International

Economics, and chair of the Council on Foreign Relations.

67. Defendant Brzezinski as a CFR member and founding member of the Trilateral

Commission, and as National Security Advisor to five presidents maintains the belief that:

"In the economic-technological field, some international cooperation has already been
achieved, but further progress will require greater American sacrifices. More intensive
efforts to shape a new world monetary structure will have to be undertaken, with some
consequent risk to the present relatively favorable American position."
"The technotronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a
society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be
possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-
date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These
files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities."

68. Defendant Brzezinski‘s world outlook and agenda by evidence of writings acts for the

Society of Jesus that eclipses all other influences on SOEBARKAH, McCain and Calero.

70. In August 2007, Brzezinski endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Barack

Hussein Obama II. He stated that Obama "recognizes that the challenge is a new face, a

new sense of direction, a new definition of America's role in the world." Also saying, "What

First Amended Complaint Page 19 of 30

makes Obama attractive to me is that he understands that we live in a very different world

where we have to relate to a variety of cultures and people."

71. In September 2007 during a speech on the Iraq war, Soebarkah introduced

Brzezinski as "one of our most outstanding thinkers," but some questioned his criticism of

the Israel lobby in the United States.

72. In a September 2009 interview with The Daily Beast, Brzezinski replied to a

question about how aggressive President Obama should be in insisting Israel not conduct

an air strike on Iran saying: "We are not exactly impotent little babies. They have to fly

over our airspace in Iraq. Are we just going to sit there and watch?" This was interpreted as

supporting the U.S. downing Israeli jets to prevent an attack on Iran.

emeritus, was on the faculty of Harvard University 1953-60. Ph.D., Harvard University,

86. Further, that the Honorable Justice David I. Schmidt in the NYS Supreme Court

and persons have illegally contributed to the campaign of Defendant SOEBARKAH who

spent $738,812,857 to seize control of the White House and is 46% of the total money raised

--somewhat like the 1973 Yom Kippur War that was intended not to succeed in destroying

the Pope's Revived Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem (Israel) as the Third Temple must be built

Mount Mosques will be destroyed, and that destruction will be blamed on the U.S.A.

thereby inciting the unity of international Sunni Islam and its future invasion of U.S. soil.

94. According to investigative Journalist Aaron Klein, as of February 10, 2011,

Defendant Soros created an international securities fund for the “Country of Palestine”, in

which Defendants Soebarkah and Soros are major shareholders to benefit.

95. Investigative journalist Aaron Klein, Jerusalem bureau chief for World Net Daily,

reports of collaborative actions of both Defendants Soros and Brzezinski that:

An international “crisis management” group led by philanthropist billionaire George


Soros has long petitioned the Egyptian government to normalize ties with the
Muslim Brotherhood.

The International Crisis Group, or ICG, also released a report urging the Egyptian
regime to allow the Brotherhood to establish an Islamist political party.

The ICG includes on its board Mohamed ElBaradei, one of the main opposition
leaders in Egypt, as well as other personalities who champion dialogue with Hamas,
a violent offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood.

In a June 2008 report entitled “Egypt’s Muslim Brothers Confrontation or


Integration,” Soros’ ICG urges the Egyptian regime to allow the group to participate
in political life.

The report dismisses Egypt’s longstanding government crackdown on the Muslim


Brotherhood as “dangerously short-sighted.”

The ICG report called on President Hosni Mubarak’s regime to “pave the way for the
regularization of the Muslim Brothers’ participation in political life,” including by
allowing for the “establishment of a political party with religious reference.”

The ICG specifically stressed allowing the Brotherhood to serve as an Islamist party
several times in its 2008 report.

The ICG and its personalities have long petitioned the Muslim Brotherhood to be
allowed to join the Egyptian government.

WND reported earlier this week Soros is one of eight members of the ICG executive
committee.

ElBaradei suspended his board membership in the ICG two weeks ago, after he
returned to Egypt to lead the anti-Mubarak protests.

First Amended Complaint Page 25 of 30


Strunk v. NYS BOE et al. NYS Supreme Court County of Kings 29642-08

U.S. board members include Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was national security adviser
to Jimmy Carter; Samuel Berger, who was Bill Clinton’s national security adviser;
and retired U.S. ambassador Thomas Pickering, who made headlines in 2009 after
meeting with Hamas leaders and calling for the U.S. to open ties to the Islamist
group.

Another ICG member is Robert Malley, a former adviser to Obama during the 2008
presidential campaign who resigned after it was exposed he had communicated with
Hamas. WND first reported Malley had long petitioned for dialogue with Hamas.
The ICG defines itself as an “independent, non-profit, multinational organization,
with 100 staff members on five continents, working through field-based analysis and
high-level advocacy to prevent and resolve deadly conflict.”

Meanwhile, Soros also has other ties to opposition groups in the Middle East.
His Open Society Institute’s Middle East and North Africa Initiative has provided
numerous grants to a wide range of projects that promote so-called democratic
issues across the region, including in Egypt, where the Muslim Brotherhood stands
to gain from any future election.

Soros’ Open Society also funded the main opposition voice in Tunisia, Radio Kalima,
which championed the riots there that led to the ouster of President Zine El Abidine
Ben Ali.

In September, Soros’ group was looking to expand its operations in Egypt by hiring a
new project manager for its Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, which is run in
partnership with the Open Society Justice Initiative. The group is seeking to develop
a national network of legal empowerment actors for referral of public-interest law
cases. Such organizations in the past have helped represent Muslim Brotherhood
leaders seeking election or more authority in the country.

Soros himself on Friday made public statements in support of the protests in Egypt,
which the Mubarak government has warned will result in the rise of the Muslim
Brotherhood in the country.

In a Washington Post editorial entitled, “Why Obama Has to Get Egypt Right,”
Soros recognized that if free elections were held in Egypt, “the Brotherhood is bound
to emerge as a major political force, though it is far from assured of a majority.”
He stated the U.S. has “much to gain by moving out in front and siding with the
public demand for dignity and democracy” in Egypt.

He claimed the “Muslim Brotherhood’s cooperation with Mohamed ElBaradei … is a


hopeful sign that it intends to play a constructive role in a democratic political
system.”

Soros did not mention his ties to ElBaradei.

Soros did, however, single out Israel as “the main stumbling block” in paving the
way toward transition in the Middle East.

Strunk v. NYS BOE et al. NYS Supreme Court County of Kings 29642-08

“In reality, Israel has as much to gain from the spread of democracy in the Middle
East as the United States has. But Israel is unlikely to recognize its own best
interests because the change is too sudden and carries too many risks,” he wrote.

96. Defendant George Soros and his agents bundled foreign donations for the Soebarkah

Campaign with the Vatican landing bank JP Morgan Chase in New York state (2).

97. That Defendant Soros has managed a crucial role for the Vatican State as a member

of the CFR and high level Freemasonry and in conjunction with King Juan Carlos to create

global regionalism that subsumes national sovereignty of the USA and the People of New

York state to the detriment of plaintiff and those similarly situated.

98. Each of the Candidate Defendants and their agents have been unjustly enriched by

the referenced activities to disrupt the election without assuring a duly eligible Presidential

Candidates for the Republican, Democrat and Socialist Workers party under color of state

law, that violates Plaintiff’s and those similarly situated State voter right, imposing

expense as a taking as applies in its entirety with election costs levied upon real property.

There are three direct Vatican Banking mechanisms used to channel money into the
United States:
(i) The Vatican Bank number UID# 014780 BIC/SWIFT : IOPRVAVX a.k.a ISTITUTO PER
LE OPERE DI RELIGIONE of VATICAN CITY in the VATICAN CITY STATE and for which there
are seven (7) banking participants as the landing banks for international wire transfers into the
USA and who directly benefited by putting Obama into office: 0001 THE BANK OF NEW YORK
MELLON; 0002 JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A.; 0008 CITIBANK, N.A.; 0103 DEUTSCHE
BANK TRUST CO AMERICAS; 0108 HSBC BANK USA; 0256 STANDARD CHARTERED BANK;
0509 WELLS FARGO NY INTL FKA WACHOVIA; needless to say the Vatican Bank and the
participating banks are generally owned by the Vatican through the Rothschild who have managed
the Vatican asset since 1824 and keep that control tightly within the family circle even as far back as
Alexander Hamilton who having married a Rothschild cousin setup the Bank of New York in 1784
that only after great effort became chartered after 1791 when he became the US Treasurer; and
(ii) further, the International Catholic Union of the Press (UCIP) is used for the World
Forum of Professionals and Institutions in Secular and Religious Media with the Address: UCIP, CP
197, 1211 Geneva 20, Switzerland and the Vatican name of the account holder: UCIP with the name
of the Bank: IOR, Vatican Swiftcode: IOPRVAVX Account number in Europe: 16586001
http://www.ucip.ch/une/ib.htm and in which the Vatican Interbank clearing account in the US is
with JPM CHASE MANHATTAN BANK NEW YORK Account no.: 001-1-97500; and
(iii) further yet, The Vatican Bank: ISTITUTO PER LE OPERE DI RELIGIONE =
INSTITUTE FOR THE RELIGION WORKS in which the Institute for Works of Religion (Italian:
Istituto per le Opere di Religione - IOR) commonly known as Vatican Bank was formed during World
War 2 and is located inside the Vatican City.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------x

I am plaintiff Christopher-Earl: Strunk in esse, self represented without being an

attorney, respectfully submit this combined Memorandum of Law in support of: Notice

of Motion for leave to reargue leave to file a first amended complaint (see Exhibit 1),

declined January 11, 2011 by ORDER and Notice of Entry (see Exhibit 1 sub-exhibit B);

motion for leave to file proof of service nunc pro tunc (see Exhibit 2); and here reargues

in support of the First Amended Complaint on the basis of Court misapprehension of

issues raised at the hearing without transcript memorialized by the Plaintiff January

18, 2011 (see Exhibit 3):

First, the Original Disposition of Law from the Decision and Order in Article 78

Petition 29641-08 that is germane herein (see Exhibit 2 sub-exhibit E) is a matter of

first impression that the disposition in the original order by the Court becomes, in

effect, “the law of the case,” a doctrine that operates like an intra-action collateral

estoppel. The conclusion of the Decision and Order states:

“Electors of president and vice president are thus specifically excluded from the
state officer definition set forth in the Public Officers Law. Hence, the designated

Combined Memorandum of Law Page 1 of 12


Strunk v Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court of Kings Index No. 29642-08

respondents, contrary to petitioner's claims, violate no New York State


Constitutional provision by holding public officer positions while also serving as
electors.

“The court further concludes that the New York State Constitutional provisions
raised by petitioner do not prohibit the designated respondents from holding
their respective public offices as well as simultaneously serving as electors even
assuming that electors of president and vice president are public officer
positions. In this regard, the court finds that petitioner's reliance upon Article
III, § 7 of the New York State Constitution as barring the respondents from
serving as public officers while also serving as electors of president and vice
president is without merit.

“Article III, § 7, in pertinent part, provides that: "No member of the legislature
shall, during the time for which he or she was elected, receive any civil
appointment from the governor, the governor and the senate, the legislature or
from any city government, to an office which shall have been created, or the
emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time" (emphasis
added). Article III, § 7 further provides that acceptance of a permissible
appointment thereunder "shall vacate his or her seat in the legislature"
(emphasis added).

“This constitutional provision expressly precludes a member of the legislature


from accepting certain appointed as opposed to elected positions. Election Law §
12-100 3 makes it clear that presidential and vice presidential electors are
candidates for office and therefore elected to said position, not appointed.
Consequently, New York State Constitution Article III, § 7 is inapplicable
herein. 4

“Additionally, the court rejects petitioner's argument that Article XIII, § 7 of the
Constitution bars respondent public office from holding more than one public
office for which he receives compensation. Article XIII, § 7, entitled
"Compensation of officers," provides as follows:

Each of the state officers named in this constitution shall, during his or
her continuance in office, receive a compensation, to be fixed by law,
which shall not be increased or diminished during the term for which he
or she shall have been elected or appointed; nor shall he or she receive to
his or her use any fees or perquisites of office or other compensation.

“This constitutional provision governing compensation for state officers and


legislative members prohibits an officer from receiving extra (increased)
compensation beyond his or her regular salary for performing their duties as said
officer, and further bars any decrease in salary during his or her current term of
office. This provision does not expressly forbid a public officer from receiving
additional compensation attributable to simultaneously holding another public
office. Clearly, petitioner has failed to establish that there is any constitutional

Combined Memorandum of Law Page 2 of 12


Strunk v Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court of Kings Index No. 29642-08

prohibition against respondents holding their respective public offices as well as


simultaneously serving as electors of president and vice president. “

Collateral estoppel technically operates only on a final judgment, and is not

involved when only an interlocutory order is the subject. (Siegel, New York practice

§ 448 (4th ed. 2005)). Under the law of the case doctrine (1), “[t]he decision being

followed need not to be reduced to an order before it can be given preclusive effect

later in the proceeding.” In re Estate of Levinson, 11 A.D.3d 826, 7xx N.Y.S.2d 165

(3rd Dept. 2004), lv. denied 4 N.Y.3d 704, 7xx N.Y.S.2d 1 (2005). When the law of the

case doctrine is involved as it is when Judge One renders a decision, it makes the

decision “binding upon all courts of co-ordinate jurisdiction and they are not to

arrogate to themselves powers of appellate review.” G. W. Collins, Inc. v. Olsker-

McLain Indus., Inc., 22 A.D.2d 485, 257 N.Y.S.2d 201, 205 (4th Dept. 1965). CPLR

2221(a), in effect implements the spirit of the law of the case doctrine by a

prevailing party who was heard on a motion from attempting to use the order by an

inconsistent ruling from Judge Two.

Second, that Plaintiff was obligated in the companion Complaint to the Petition

to allege criminal wrongdoing by defendants with those similarly situated in order

for authorities to act; as Plaintiff has the duty to establish whether or not a criminal

action against defendant/ respondents exists within the question of first impression

presented in the Petition and thus affecting the complaint thereafter; and that the

1
The law of the case doctrine precludes reconsideration of a previously decided
issue unless one of three "exceptional circumstances" exists: (1) when substantially
different evidence is raised at a subsequent trial; (2) when a subsequent contrary
view of the law is decided by the controlling authority; or (3) when a decision is
clearly erroneous and would work a manifest injustice.

Combined Memorandum of Law Page 3 of 12


Strunk v Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court of Kings Index No. 29642-08

phrase “sufficient cause” within a statute that would require [the court] to hold a

defendant to answer if it appears from examination that public offense has been

committed and there is “sufficient cause” within statute providing that information

must be set aside where defendant has been committed without “reasonable or

probable cause”. West’s Ann.Pen.Code, §§ 872, 995. –People v. Brice, 44 Cal.Rptr.

231, 234 Cal.App.2d 258.—Criminal Law 238(2) with a New York equivalent in

related law.

Third, that service of both the Petition and Complaint had to be effected

simultaneously due to the nature of criminal allegations to give the defendants and

respondents fair and reasonable notice as the Court ORDER granted (see Exhibit 2

sub-exhibit B);

That those with authority over matters of malfeasance of public officers and

involving a constitutional tort gave Petitioner/Plaintiff the obligation to serve notice

upon such authorities with responsibility and duty to determine if there is “cause”

or “sufficient cause” to authorize a removal from office of an official mean legal

cause, and not any cause which the council [Plaintiff] may think sufficient. –Zurich

General Acc. & Liability Ins. Co. v. Kinsler, 81 P.2d 913, 12 Cal.2d 98 with a New

York equivalent in related law.

That Plaintiff had to establish that there is “sufficient cause” and “reasonable

and probable cause” to hold accused for offense charged means such statement of

facts would lead to men of ordinary caution or prudence to believe and

conscientiously entertain strong suspicion of accused’s guilt, and sufficient cause

may exist although there may be some room for doubt. –Hendrix v. Superior Court

Combined Memorandum of Law Page 4 of 12


Strunk v Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court of Kings Index No. 29642-08

in and for Los Angeles County, 21 Cal.Rptr. 616, 203 Cal Aped 421—Criminal law

238(2) with a New York equivalent in related law.

Plaintiff civil cause of action (the Complaint shown as Exhibit 4) with allegations

of criminal participation of those Defendants named in the civil complaint that

would require State officers removed from office by a statute authorizing the

removing of an officer for “sufficient cause,” including incapacity and official

misbehavior, contemplates a cause relating to the administration of his office,

affecting the rights and interests of the public.—Lancaster v. Hill, 71 S.E. 731, 136

Ga. 405, Am.Ann.Cas. 1912C, 272 with a New York equivalent in related law.

Fourth, that notwithstanding the meritorious nature of Plaintiff’s case with

simultaneous service of both the Petition and Complaint by Court ORDER shown as

Exhibit 2 sub-exhibit B, Plaintiff in good faith with CPLR §307 and §308 on

December 1, 2008 did effect Summons and Verified Complaint personal service

upon the Counsel designated for the NYS Board of Elections with authority over

conduct of elections, Attorney General Andrew Cuomo with authority over

investigation of criminal matters and civil injury infringement, and non-defendant

Secretary of State Lorraine A. Cortez-Vazquez that the Help America to Vote Act

(HAVA) Section 213 (a) (1) (A) grants State Officer authority with Federal Officer

authority over elections and electoral college slates to be transmitted to Congress to

be a supplemental defendant after the election of November 4, 2008 without

appropriate action taken.

It is Plaintiff’s understanding in the matter of “completion” of Service that

jurisdiction under CPLR §308(2) attaches when the two steps delivery and mailing are

Combined Memorandum of Law Page 5 of 12


Strunk v Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court of Kings Index No. 29642-08

performed. Nevertheless, the state imposes a requirement that proof of service be filed

with the clerk of the court as a step in making service “complete.” Completion of

service is the event that starts the running of defendant 30-day time limit to appear in

the action see CPLR §320(a). The plaintiff is directed to file the proof of service within

20 days whichever service step---delivery or mailing---is performed second. Service is

complete 10 days after the filing of the proof of service. Proof of service is described in

CPLR §306. With respect to service under CPLR §308(2), the proof of service must

contain a proper description of the person to whom delivery is made and statement of

date, time and place of service. The filing of proof of service under CPLR §308(2) is not

jurisdictional in nature. It is merely a step in making service complete which in turn

triggers the defendant’s responsive obligation under CPLR §320(a). Helfand v. Cohen,

1985, 110 A.D.2d. 7x, 487 N.Y.S.2d 177 (1st Dept.). See also Conde v. Zaganjor, 20x 66

A.D.3d 947, 886 N.Y.S.2d 829(2nd Dept.) (Same rule application under CPLR §308(4)).

Thus delaying filing of proof of service is nothing more than a procedural irregularity

that can be cured by order of the court allowing the filing “nunc pro tunc” See

Weininger v. Sassower, 1994 xx A.D.2d 715, 612 N.Y.S.2d 249 (2nd Dept). The only

procedural consequence of belated filing is postponement of defendant time to appear.

See, e.g. Rosato v. Ricciardo, 1991, 174 A.D.2d 937, 571 N.Y.S.2d 633 (3rd Dept.)

(Plaintiff’s failure to file proof of service could be corrected nunc pro tunc, but

retroactive entry of a default judgment would be improper because defendant’s time to

appear never began to run). That tardy plaintiff seeks to actually obtain a court order

permitting a late filing of proof of service. The court in Zareef v. Wong, 2009, 61 A.D.3d

749, 877 N.Y.S.2d 182 (2nd Dept), held that a plaintiff’s unilateral filing of an untimely

proof of service was a “nullity” that did not trigger the defendant’s time to answer. The

Combined Memorandum of Law Page 6 of 12


Strunk v Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court of Kings Index No. 29642-08

plaintiff, therefore, was precluded from entering a judgment against defendant(s).

Fifth, Plaintiff good faith mistake when he failed to “complete” the Proof Service

filing with the clerk of the court within ten days of the personal service accomplished on

December 1, 2008 (see Exhibit 2 sub-exhibit D), that as within the meaning of CPLR

§205(a) required leave within six months to file such proof nunc pro tunc, and therefore

bars Defendant(s) and Plaintiff application for default judgment as to Defendant(s) or

Plaintiff without leave unless service effect on October 30, 2008 were deemed sufficient

as the ORDER stated, Defendant NYS Board of Elections defaulted on both an answer.

Sixth, that the Decision and Order (shown as Exhibit 2 sub-exhibit E) determined

how to apply the Original Disposition of Law in a required supplement to the complaint

to be filed after the finding of law and discovery;

Seventh, that Plaintiff’s request for subpoena discovery of facts that would

determine what supplement would be required was declined by this Court, and then

with no alternative Plaintiff sought FOIA discovery as to the whereabouts of the

mother at the time of the BHO birth, then filed the case in U.S.D.C. in Washington

D.C. Strunk v. U.S. Department of State et al. 08-cv-2234 for release of documents;

with a portion released July 29, 2010 allowing Plaintiff to supplement the complaint by

the November 11, 2010 proposed Amendment (see Exhibit 1 sub-exhibit A) and then

with the CPLR §3016(b) more definite statement of February 15, 2011 (see Exhibit 5)

by verified civil complaint of (i) breach of fiduciary duty as to Public officers ultra vires

malfeasance, (ii) scheme to defraud and (iii) unjust enrichment, without the allegations

of criminal wrongdoing.

To avoid dismissal of a complaint for failure to enter default judgment within one

year after default that occurred, a plaintiff must offer a reasonable excuse for delay in

Combined Memorandum of Law Page 7 of 12


Strunk v Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court of Kings Index No. 29642-08

moving for leave to enter default, and must demonstrate that complaint is meritorious.

DuBois v. Roslyn Nat. Mortg. Corp. (2nd Dept. 2008) 52 A.D.3d 564, 861 N.Y.S.2d 73.

Plaintiff has sufficient cause for delay for more that one year in moving for default

judgment, in that various parties [Plaintiff] were [was] pursuing their [his] interests in

federal action involving same issues. 222 First Ave. Realty Inc. v. Vijax Fuel Oil Corp.

(1st Dept. 1995) 213 A.D.2d 238, 623 N.Y.S.2d 250.

Eighth, that there is sufficient cause for Plaintiff failure to file for a default

judgment within one year even were all the other procedural issues of completion of

filing of the proof of service, and also, if filing of the supplement to amend the complaint

and summons were already done;

That a sua sponte dismissal of complaint and action on ground that plaintiff had

failed to enter judgment within one year following default is not mandatory and may

not be had where plaintiff establishes sufficient cause for delay. Maidenbaum v. Ellis

Hospital (3rd Dept. 1975) 47 A.D.2d 683, 364 N.Y.S.2d 233.

Defendant was not entitled to dismissal of action on ground that plaintiff failed to

enter default judgment within one year of time that defendant allegedly defaulted;

because proof of service had yet to be filed, defendant never defaulted in appearing, and

plaintiff thus could not have properly entered default judgment. Parcha v. County of

Nassau (2 Dept. 1996) 228 A.D.2d 422, 643 N.Y.S.2d 637.

That the failure of NYS Board of Elections to provide the FOIL request of evidence

of ballot certification has delayed Plaintiff unnecessarily, and is evidence that should

sustain trial court’s finding plaintiff actively prosecuted the claim and that defendants

were not prejudiced by the delay, and defendants’ argument that the failure to enter

default against them within one year entitled them to dismissal was not persuasive,

Combined Memorandum of Law Page 8 of 12


Strunk v Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court of Kings Index No. 29642-08

since plaintiff had been engaged in lengthy discovery, frustrated in part by a principal

of both partnership defendants [NYS BOE]. Cerrato v. Thurcon Const. Corp. (1st Dept.

1983) 94 A.D.2d 642, 462 N.Y.S.2d 198.

Ninth, that there is sufficient cause for Plaintiff failure to perfect the case before

filing a note of issue for trial.

Were Plaintiff to make an application without necessary prima facie facts would

have been denied and would require that on application for default judgment,

submission must make prima facie showing that relief prayed for is granted. Worldwide

Asset Purchasing, LLC v. Karafotias, 2005, 9 Misc.8d 390, 801 N.Y.S.2d 721.

In the matter of Appeal and Error, the Court has discretion in the matter of defaults

not entered within one year. Although the determination of what constitutes a

reasonable excuse for delay in seeking default judgment lies within the sound

discretion of the trial court, reversal is warranted if that discretion is improvidently

exercised. Staples v. Jeff Hunt Developers, Inc. (2nd Dept. 2008) 56 A.D.3d 459, 866

N.Y.S.2d 756.

In one applicable case, a plaintiff State had applied for judgment with an affidavit of

facts supplied by the state in connection with its application for default judgment,

which merely asserted, in one sentence, that basis for action against defendant, which

had delivered fuel to gasoline service station, was “failure to pay or repay costs

incurred” by state for cleanup and removal of petroleum discharge, did not make a

prima facie showing of state’s case against defendant as alleged discharger of petroleum

on land, as required to support the application for default judgment. State v. Williams

(3rd Dept. 2007) 44 A.D. 3d 1149, 843 N.Y.S.2d 722, on remand 20 Misc.3d 1106(A), 866

N.Y.S.2d 95.

Strunk v Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court of Kings Index No. 29642-08

To avoid dismissal of complaint as abandoned, plaintiff must offer reasonable excuse

for more-than-one year delay in moving for leave to enter default judgment, and must

demonstrate that complaint is meritorious. Key Waterproofing Corp. v. Ray Realty

Fulton, Inc. (2nd Dept. 2005) 23 A.D.3d 624, 804 N.Y.S.2d 815.

Plaintiff has a meritorious case

As a result of the July 29, 2010 U.S. Department of State release of some of the

requested documents associated with Stanley Ann Dunham, for the first time anywhere

Soebarkah has been authenticated to be the given name, of what till now has been

alleged only to be Barack Hussein Obama, when he was adopted by an Indonesia step-

father that would have occurred in the USA rather than Indonesia, and thereby

supports Plaintiff’s theory of failure of BHO to be NBC or even naturalized.

That in September 2010, as a result of Clark Hamblin of Arizona contacting

Plaintiff in regards to the Treaty conditions defining the jurisdiction over Colon

Panama that was not a part of the USA territorial claim of the USA, and with the

authentication by Donald Lynn Lamb, Esq., the representative of the Panama Railroad

Company, having jurisdiction over the Colon Hospital where the birth certificate was

issued for John Sidney McCain III, it has been discovered that Plaintiff along with

those similarly situated were injured as a result of a much bigger scheme to defraud

beyond that of merely those persons who have foisted the “native” versus “natural” born

citizen Soebarkah as Barack Hussein Obama II, and also shows, foisted John Sidney

McCain III upon the voters at the 2008 election cycle- Plaintiff has a direct injury.

Of the five causes of action alleged in the underlying civil complaint, shown as

Exhibit 4, are now reduced to three in the proposed amended summons and complaint

shown as Exhibit 5, and that as a result of the Decision and Order in Article 78 Petition

Combined Memorandum of Law Page 10 of 12


Strunk v Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court of Kings Index No. 29642-08

29641-08 germane herein there remain three plausible, prima facie injuries to Plaintiff

along with those similarly situated by maladministration of the 2008 Election cycle:

(i) Breach of fiduciary duty as to Public Officer injury to plaintiff along with

those similarly situated in the NYS BOE maladministration of regulations

when certification for presidential candidate slate ballot access is had from

the NYS BOE and notice of allegations for the respective candidates and

committees’ response, will be prima facie evidence sufficient to require a

partial summary judgment with declaratory relief in the matter of

a. unequal treatment of ballot certification under law;

b. breach of fiduciary duty to ascertain compliance with regulations as to

U.S. Constitution Article II Section 1 Clause 5 in the candidate ballot

access of Soebarkah, McCain and Calero; and

(ii) Scheme to defraud plaintiff along with those similarly situated requires

discovery before a note of issue may be filed for a jury trial; and then with

(iii) A finding by jury trial to determine defendants’ joint and several liabilities as

well as for punitive damages unjust enrichment as injury to plaintiff along

with those similarly situated requires discovery before a note of issue; and

(iv) Other and different relief the Court deems necessary for grant of relief.

Conclusion in support of relief

That the Court in 2008 declined a subpoena for discovery of information germane

herein and then in 2009 also now involves: the FOIA action with the motion for

summary judgment opposed in Strunk v. DOS et al. DCD 08-cv-2234 (RJL); the

matter of not filing the Proof of Service for the NYS Board of Elections, as the

Attorney General had already appeared and responded starting November 3, 2008;

there is no prejudice to defendant NYS BOE not E h g a default even were the proof

of s e ~ c e completed.
d A default judgment within the year allotted would have been

premature for Plaintiff required an inquest as the FOIA evidence supports such and
I
therefore supports the requirement for sdicient cause in CPLR $3215(c),and that

therein affords discretion by the Court to grant an extensioIi of time for perfecting

the complaint with an action involving: CPLR $2001 for mistakes, omissions, defects

and irregularities, a t any stage of an action; CPLR $2004 for extensions of time

generally, except where otherwise expressly prescribed by law, the court may extend

the time fixed by any statute, rule or order for doing any act, upon such terms as
1I
may be just and upon good cause shown, whether the application for extension is
I/
made before or after the expiration of the time fixed; CPLR $2005 for excusable

delay or default; that upon an application satisfying the requirements of


I1
subdivision (d) of section 3012 or subdivision (a)of rule 5015, the court shall not, as

a matter of law, be precluded from exercising its discretion in the interests of

.justice to excuse delay and or default resulting from law office failure were third

party service considered such. Plaintiff respectfully wishes relief were granted.
