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

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

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

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

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

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

Strunk v Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court of Kings Index No. 29642-08
Accordingly, I, Christopher Earl Strunk, being duly sworn, depose and say under
penalty of perjury:

about October 27, 2008 and is filed with leave under CPLR Rule 305 and Rule
3025(b); there is no previous request for this relief, nor is there another to benefit.
4. That the Verified FAC with Summons annexed herewith 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 and that 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 occurred and is merely a matter of state and
individuals’ malicious promotion of a scheme to defraud the people of the New York
state in promotion of ballot fraud with the 2008 election cycle with ineligible
6. That necessary Parties as yet known are joined herein pursuant to CPLR
corruption that is a party to a civil action under this Article 13, whenever joinder of
such person or enterprise is necessary with CPLR §1001; and according to Penal
violation of Penal Law § 105.35 by all Defendants individually that are part of a
conspiracy of enterprise corruption against the fisc and real property owners as a
460.20 of this chapter shall not constitute an offense; however, includes but is not
limited to:
Penal Law : § 155.30 Grand Larceny in the fourth degree when The property,
regardless of its nature and value, is taken from the person of another; § 170.10
Forgery in the second degree; § 175.25 Tampering with public records in the first
degree; § 175.35 Offering a false instrument for filing in the first degree; § 175.40
the first degree; § 200.04 Bribery in the first degree; § 190.65 Scheme to defraud in
the first degree; § 470.05 Money laundering in the fourth degree; and further,
and§ 17-168. Crimes against the elective franchise not otherwise provided for. Any
person who knowingly and willfully violates any provision of this chapter, which
violation is not specifically covered by any of the previous sections of this article, is
8. That this case has been awaiting results of Affirmant’s FOIA case against the
Court 08-cv-2234 wishing to obtain facts germane to Causes of Action Two thru Five
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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 .

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
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
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,
“… 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.
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,

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

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

NYS BOE regulation by failure to obtain and ascertain proof that each Defendant
“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
52. There has never been an Article II executive who is a citizen of a foreign nation and
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
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
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.

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

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

Convention Between the United States and the Republic of Panama. ... Page 1 of 8
Harvard Classics 6
(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.

hundred and three, the original of which Convention, being in the English language, is

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.

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
limits of all auxiliary lands and waters mentioned and described in said Article II which

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

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
canal or railroad across its territory between the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean.
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
right and authority to enforce the same.

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.

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

Notice of Motion
Strunk v Paterson et al. NYS Supreme Court of Kings Index No. 29642-08
Accordingly, I, Christopher Earl Strunk, being duly sworn, depose and say under
penalty of perjury:
(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.
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
4. Plaintiff’s prior experience with a third party server is that such due process
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
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
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
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
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
criminal allegations requiring dual notice to Defendants as well as the NYS Attorney
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 /
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

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
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
(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
Discussion
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
It is a well-settled common law rule that a public officer cannot hold two
[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
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
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
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
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
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
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
' 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
provides as follows:
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
president. Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that the order to show cause is denied, and the petition is hereby
dismissed.
Accordingly, I, H. William Van Allen, being duly sworn, depose and say under penalty of perjury:

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
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
expects the Court to remove Barack Hussein Obama from office; to wit Plaintiff
treatment and protection of Plaintiff along with those similarly situated in regards
the 2008 Election cycle; and as well as plaintiff seeks further discovery as to the
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
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
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
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
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 -
"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
and tourists who were not certified admitted by the U.S. Customs Service; and
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.
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
and his sons Ian and Mark early-on to run both the McCain and Obama campaigns
fixation with Afghanistan going back to 1978; and that Zbigniew Brzezinski nor
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;
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
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
15. To wit, the Court held there is no state civil action for sedition, treason and
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
T h e motion for leave having come on to be heard, and the Court having
heard plaintiff in support thereof, and the Attorney General's Office in
opposition thereto, NOW,it is hereby ORDERED, that the motion is denied
in entirety."
17.That the foregoing is Affirmant's best recollection of the hearing as true and
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
admitted by the Court as part of the permanent record for use after entry of the

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."
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.
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.
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.
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:

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 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.
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:
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."

AFFIDAVIT OF Christopher-Earl: Strunk in esse,
Plaintiff 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 Kings
County Index No.: 29642-08
Exhibit B
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)
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.
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.
"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.

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

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

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

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

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-
8. There has never legally been an Article II Executive who has ever been a native born,
9. There has never legally been an Article II Executive who is a citizen of 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
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
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.
under the name Barack Hussein Obama is located in care of c/o The White House 1600
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
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,
“… 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
(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
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
30. That on September 15, 2008, Defendant STATE COMMITTEE OF THE WORKING
Officer affirmed the alleged eligibility of BHO and the electors for ballot access in the State

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"

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

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

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

Manchurian candidates: Soebarkah since 1995 who co-authored Dreams from My Father
and Republican Guard candidate McCain since 1999 who co-authored, Faith of My Fathers
and who both act together to reduce the United States of America to a mere territorial
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
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
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
58. That according to Sarah P. Herlihy’s resume on line with the International Law firm

making donations to the Obama campaign , Jack S. Levin, P.C., another partner who, in
December 2002 was presented the ” Illinois Venture Capital Association’s lifetime
achievement award for service to the private equity/venture capital community” presented
60. That Kirtland & Ellis LLP is a global firm with powerful international clients listed
on the website that span the business affairs of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta,
including the current client British Petroleum, and includes among its attorneys SMOM
member John Robert Bolton the prior administration’s U.S. United Nations Ambassador.
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
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
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
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

member of the SMOM on "the right" and of the Scottish Rite Freemason Grand Lodge of
Philadelphia on "the left" working for the Jesuits against the sovereign interest of the USA
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.
69. 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
“We cannot leap into world government in one quick step...The precondition for
eventual globalization — genuine globalization — is progressive regionalization.”
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
makes Obama attractive to me is that he understands that we live in a very different world
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
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

his sons’ government employment and furtherance of the enterprise corruption associated
with funding raising done by George Soros and King Juan Carlos.

81. That Plaintiff with those similarly situated are denied individual 1st, 5th , 9th and
financial injury for the cost of the 2008 election cycle in New York..
82. 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.
Guard committed perjury before a Federal Officer in violation of 18 USC §1001 as part of
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.
85. 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
U.S. Constitution Article 2 Section 1 clause 5 with a pending Replevin matter in the
District of Columbia; and all acts by the usurper are void ab initio – a serious problem!
86. 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,
and that thereby forced Plaintiff as the only alternative to obtain the passport records of
87. Further, that Plaintiff FOIA case in Washington D.C. DCD 08-cv-2234 (RJL)
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.
88. Further, that not all the requested documents are now essential for the continuation
89. Furthermore, 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 along with those similarly situated 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
90. Plaintiff repeats each and every allegation contained in the First through Second
Cause of Action with the same force and effect as though herein set forth at length.
91. 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
was used as an intermediary for transfer of funds into its USA landing Banks in New York
that with the release of the banking records of the SOEBARKAH campaign committee will
show substantial illegal foreign involvement to launder funds to buy the presidency as
previously done in the instance of James Riady of the Indonesian Lippo Group for Bill
Clinton in 1992 was not convicted by the DOJ until January 11, 2001.
92. Defendant GEORGE SOROS (a.k.a. George Schwartz) with place for service at Soros
Management 888 7th Avenue Suite 3300 New York, NY 10106, is a Member of: the Council on
Foreign Relations, the Carlyle Group, Major Stockholder: Halliburton, Financial Backer of
Barack Hussein Obama, Friend of Rupert Murdoch (1), and a high level Freemason.
93. Defendant George Soros proves his allegiance to Rome by promoting Muslim
Brotherhood overt control of Egypt---now a reality. We cannot forget that the Jesuits in
Cairo created the Muslim Brotherhood in 1928, the same year the Order created Opus Dei
in Spain. Egypt is to be the staging base for an Islamic invasion into Israel from the South-
--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
with Jews in Jerusalem acting as a buffer between the Pope's Masonic Labor Zionist
leaders of Israel and resident Arab Muslim "Palestinians," the invasion will serve as the
justification for a US and possible EU military intervention during which time the Temple

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.
Defendant Soros created an international securities fund for the “Country of Palestine”, in
95. Investigative journalist Aaron Klein, Jerusalem bureau chief for World Net Daily,
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.
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.
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.
Soros did, however, single out Israel as “the main stumbling block” in paving the
way toward transition in the Middle East.
“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
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.

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
issues raised at the hearing without transcript memorialized by the Plaintiff January
First, the Original Disposition of Law from the Decision and Order in Article 78
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
“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
“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).
“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.
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

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
Second, that Plaintiff was obligated in the companion Complaint to the Petition
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

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.
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
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
upon such authorities with responsibility and duty to determine if there is “cause”
cause, and not any cause which the council [Plaintiff] may think sufficient. –Zurich

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
may exist although there may be some room for doubt. –Hendrix v. Superior Court
in and for Los Angeles County, 21 Cal.Rptr. 616, 203 Cal Aped 421—Criminal law
Plaintiff civil cause of action (the Complaint shown as Exhibit 4) with allegations
would require State officers removed from office by a statute authorizing the

Ga. 405, Am.Ann.Cas. 1912C, 272 with a New York equivalent in related law.
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
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
jurisdiction under CPLR §308(2) attaches when the two steps delivery and mailing are
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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,
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.
Ninth, that there is sufficient cause for Plaintiff failure to perfect the case before
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
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.
for more-than-one year delay in moving for leave to enter default judgment, and must
Fulton, Inc. (2nd Dept. 2005) 23 A.D.3d 624, 804 N.Y.S.2d 815.
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
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
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
when certification for presidential candidate slate ballot access is had from
the NYS BOE and notice of allegations for the respective candidates 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
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.
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
.justice to excuse delay and or default resulting from law office failure were third
party service considered such. Plaintiff respectfully wishes relief were granted.
