Injustice, Constitutional Violations and Judicial Corruption By Indiana Judiciary

- 03.07.2003: “American Legal System Is Corrupt Beyond Recognition”: Judge Edith Jones of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5^th Circuit, told Harvard Law School

-- September 2007- Testimony (regarding corruption of federal judiciary) to the Judicial Commission on Draft Rules Governing Judicial Conduct and Disability Proceedings of The Committee on Judicial Conduct and Disability of the Judicial Conference of the United States. -- 08.23.2007- Some members of the Indiana Lynch-Mob (John G. Baker, "Chief Judge", with concurrence of Darden J. J. Najam and J. Garrard, Sr.) outdo their own corruption and violations of the Constitution and laws of the Land by “banning” Dr. Sanjari from filing appeals to the corrupt Indiana Court of Appeals (IN-CA) without their permission in order to cover up the misconduct and fraudulent, corrupt and vile acts of judge Rex L. Reed and Elkhart Superior Court clerk (Stephanie Burgess, et al.). Evidently, they have not heard of the Seventh Amendment to the Constitution. Furthermore, the IN-CA lynch mob even refused to docket the papers timely filed appealing the unlawful hearing (April 03, 2007) and orders (April 04, 2007) depriving Dr. Sanjari of his childrn by said criminal Rex Reed in violation of due process (hearing and order without jurisdiction and without due notice to Dr. Sanjari) as the evidence against this out of control outlaw judge is overwhelming. The said IN-CA lynch mob and Reed reach a new depth in their cesspool of corruption. -- 08.20.2007- Another father and a grand father issue notices of legal war against Elkhart County's and Indiana's corrupt judiciary and officials and their cohort attorneys. Included amongst the summons recipients are, but not limited to: Steve Carter (A-G), Curtis T. Hill (Elkhart Prosecutor), Bruce Wells (Deputy Elkhart Prosecutor), Max K. Walker (a woman-beating crooked attorney), Indiana Commission on Judicial Qualification (a secretive arm of the IN supreme court covering up and ignoring the judiciary's atrocities and defrauding people of Indiana), Indiana Court of Appeals Judge James S. Kirsch, Elkhart Court Clerk Stephanie Burgess, Elkhart County Sheriff, Elkhart County Judge David Bonfiglio, ... . Of course, for such atrocities there is NO judicial or official immunity applicable ”There are forces in operation which must inevitably work the downfall of slavery.” Frederick Douglas -- 08.03.2007- Letter to Elkhart county, Indiana, sheriff informing him that execution and processing of any order (unlawful and void ab initio) issued by Elkhart court and judges thereof in this case would be unlawful, and that the sheriff department, sheriff himself and his officers would be liable for federal prosecution both in their personal and official capacities. -- 08.03.2007- Letter to Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels regarding Indiana judges' and officials' corruption and criminal activities, and demand for return of Dr. Sanjari's children to him. -- 07.23.2007: Indiana Supreme Court exhibits evidence of its collusion and conspiracy to cover up the criminal activities and violations of the law (federal and Indiana) and the Constitution under the color of law by Elkhart Superior Court No. 5, purported and criminal judge Rex L. Reed of Kosciusko circuit court (Warsaw, IN) and their cohorts. Now there exists evidence that Indiana Supreme Court (Randall Shepard and the full court “all justices concur”) have purportedly looked into the custody appeals cases before Indiana court of appeals, IN-CA, (pending for the past almost 2 years without any ruling by the said IN-CA!) in this matter and have become parties to the fraud and conspiracy amongst the Elkhart court, criminal purported judge Rex L. Reed, IN-CA, et al. In order to cover up the criminal activities of the aforementioned. Furthermore, the Indiana Supreme Court has shown its incompetence in its oversight of activities of the IN-CA since it alludes to the undersigned not having filed an appeal in a case that has been filed by th latter and kept under wraps by the IN-CA without establishment of a docket or any entries or ruling upon it in violation of the undersigned's First Amendment, Seventh Amendment, Ninth Amendment and Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. This is yet another tactic by corrupt judiciary and officials (see also item immediately below) to divert attention from their own criminal activities by casting aspersions on their opponents. A federal investigation akin to the “Operation Greylord” by the FBI (circa 1985, re dozens of criminal Chicago judges) into all levels of the Indiana judiciary and state officials for criminal activities is well overdue. -- 07.18.2007: When, as has been the case throughout the instant case, the corrupt officials and judiciary do not have the truth and the right on their side they resort to lies and misrepresentation just to provide their cohort “brethren” judge in the case an excuse to rule against their adversary. Such is the corrupt practices of Indiana Attorney General and his deputy David Arthur in defending the criminal judge Rex L. Reed of Kosciusk Circuit Court, Indiana, against whom the undersigned has brought lawsuits in federal and Indiana courts. (Even after this, the criminal Rex Reed pretends to rule upon the undersigned's custody case without jurisdiction in violation of federal law and the Constitution). By filing a fatuous and irrelevant letter, David Arthur attempts to distract attention from his and his client's corrupt and criminal practices and make the undersigned self-represented look culpable. This is the undersigned's response filed in Kosciusko court in the case he filed against criminal Rex L. Reed. -- 04.09.2007: The undersigned father files Petition For Writ Of Certiorari from the Indiana Courts to the United States Supreme Court regarding the fraudulent, unconstitutional and unlawful removal of the father's equal parental rights (equal legal and physical custody) by the criminal former wife Alison Gratzol (Elkhart, IN) in conspiracy with her corrupt attorney Max Walker (Elkhart, IN) and Elkhart Superior court and special judge Michael D. Cook (of Marshall circuit court, Plymouth, IN) and special judge Rex L. Reed (of Kosciusko circuit court, Warsaw, IN) who have all committed and/or conspired and/or aided and abetted in committing fraud, child abuse, kidnapping of minors across state lines, obstruction of justice, unlawful tampering of official court records in conjunction with Elkhart Superior court No. 5 administrator (Kathy) and clerk (Stephanie Burgess). The said judges have additionally lied in court orders and defrauded the undersigned and the US federal government (in violation of the social security act and 42 U.S.C. Title IV-D) under the color of law and in conspiracy with Indiana Attorney General (Steve Carter and Deputy David Arthur) and Elkhart county prosecutor (Curtis T. Hill, Jr. and Deputy Bruce Wells). Other federal and Indiana lawsuits are pending against some of the said actors. IN Court of Appeals and IN supreme court (Chief judge Shepard appointed Rex Reed personally) conspired to cover up the said actors and judges' fraud, misconduct and constitutional violations. IN supreme court refused to consider the undersigned's Petition for fear that they themselves become further implicated in the fraudulent and unlawful activities of their appointed judges in the case. They are nevertheless culpable (18 U.S.C. 4). Corruption is rife amongst Indiana judiciary. A federal investigation (much like the Operation Greylord by the FBI in IL) of the Indiana judiciary is well overdue and is required. Indiana and Elkhart courts continue with their abuse of the families and children with impunity. -- 04.03.2007: Rex Reed and Elkhart Court hold secret hearing with Gratzol and her attorney, Max Walker, in Indiana to further unlawfully and unconstitutionally eliminate this father's parental and constitutional rights. Gratzol and Walker coerced and bribed the undersigned's younger minor daughter into going to court. No psychological or physical abuse of the child is too great for Gratzol and Walker to pursue their greed and criminal violations, and for Reed to pursue his vendetta against this father. -- 02.07.2007: US Circuit Court of Appeals (CA7) in Chicago, Circuit judges Michael S. Kanne, Ilana D. Rovner, and Diane S. Sykes succumb to conspiracy with Indiana to save the hide of Judge Rex L. Reed and cover up the federal child support enforcement kick back money fraud by Indiana and Elkhart county, as well as covering up Indiana judiciary's corruption and constitutional violations. -- 02.20.2007: Indiana Attorney General Steve Carter, his deputies David A. Arthur and Cynthia G. Denardi file appearance to defend judge Rex L. Reed for his crimes against the undersigned, his children and the Constitution for the United States, in a lawsuit brought by the undersigned. Three top Indiana state attorneys to defend Reed against the undersigned self-represented. This implies one or both of the following: i) the need for 3 attorneys is a sign of abysmal standard and quality of Indiana education and hence its top attorneys, ii) the crimes of Reed's (by now the A-G's office is the said attorneys are also implicated in the crimes) are so egregious and heinous that they feel the need to bring 3 attorneys against the non-lawyer undersigned. -- 02.22.2007: Indiana Attorney General, Steve Carter , lies on the record as did his deputy David Arthur to the US Federal Court.

Judicial & Official Corruption And Crimes Perpetrated
in and by the State of Indiana, USA

Crimes perpetrated by Indiana Officials And Judiciary under the color of Law are:
Human and Civil Rights Violations and Atrocities, misconduct Corruption, Kidnapping and Abuse of Children (for Title IV-D “Incentivus federalis perversus”, that is extortion money, by Courts & CPS), Fraud (upon the US government and Parents through Title IV-D public money fraud annually of $$$Hundreds of Millions), Conspiracy (see above links), Falsification of Official Court Records, Nepotism, Lying in Court Records to Cover up Court's Fraud and Criminal Activities, Holding Kangaroo Courts, Holding Hearings Without Jurisdiction, Issuing Void and Unlawful Orders, Holding Secret and Ex Parte Hearings and Communications with Indiana Court of Appeals, Violation of Oath of Office, Treason Against the United States, ... all the way through to and including many of its state officers and judiciary, Court of Appeals and Supreme Court.

Ultimate responsibility for Indiana Courts' corruption lies with Randall Terry Shepard who knowingly covers up for and aids and abets the perpetrators.
Operation Greylord II for Indiana coming!!!

AND how does the United States reconcile the judicial and official corruption and atrocities in its and its States' courts against this and multitude of other fathers with its (following) international undertaking ???

“That it is the view of the United States that States Party to the Covenant should wherever possible refrain from imposing any restrictions or limitations on the exercise of the rights recognized and protected by the Covenant, even when such restrictions and limitations are permissible under the terms of the Covenant. For the United States, article 5, paragraph 2, which provides that fundamental human rights existing in any State Party may not be diminished “. “The United States declares that it will continue to adhere to the requirements and constraints of its Constitution in respect to all such restrictions and limitations. (3) That the United States declares that the right referred to in article 47 may be exercised only in accordance with international law."

(signed 10.05.1977, Date receipt of Inst. 06.08.1992). United Nation International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and Convention on Human Rights.

(For the many judges (and attorneys) who have not read it, ignore it, or deliberately violate it! Hence, committing treason against the United States)

+++ Supreme Clause Article VI, Clause 2 of the Constitution (This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; . . . . shall be the supreme Law of the Land. +++

+++ When a judge acts intentionally and knowingly to deprive a person of his constitutional rights he exercises no discretion or individual judgment; he acts no longer as a judge, but as a " minister" of his own prejudices. [386 U.S. 547, 568].
+++ A judge is liable for injury caused by a ministerial act; to have immunity the judge must be performing a judicial function. See, e. g., Ex parte Virginia, 100 U.S. 339 ; 2 Harper & James, The Law of Torts 1642-1643 (1956).
+++ The presence of malice and the intention to deprive a person of his civil rights is wholly incompatible with the judicial function.
++++ When the state in the instant case is one of the perpetrators and violators, there can be no expectation of just, indeed any, relief from it. The State cannot cause a federal violation, and then try to prohibit litigants from seeking redress in the federal courts for those same violations (i.e. the state cannot violate our fundamental rights, and then try to have us dismissed out of federal court for seeking vindication of those rights) ' "We have long recognized that a state cannot create a transitory cause of action and at the same time destroy the fight to sue on that transitory cause of action in any court having jurisdiction", Tennessee Coal, Iron & R, Co. v. George, 233 U.S. 354, 360 (1914)' cited in Marshall v. Marshall (2006).

Judges' oath of office includes the undertaking to uphold the laws and Constitution of the United States. Any Judge violating such undertakings loses jurisdiction, resulting in his orders being VOID, and he himself may be charged for treason against the United States.

Frederick Douglas' Speech as bears relevance to the slavery perpetrated upon the fathers in the State of Indiana and the United States by State and federal officials under the color of law and in violation of the US Constitution and international treaties and charters it has signed and ratified.

Whether you are a victim of Indiana corruption or any other state in the United States, this is what you can do to help fight pervasive judicial corruption:

1.B- March 26, 2008: As part of the ongoing campaign (see the Open Letter below) to seek redress and expose the insidious judicial corruption in Indiana courts, many victims of Indiana judicial corruption signed and sent this communication to the full Indiana legislature (The House and the Senate members) as well as 60+ media outlets regarding wide spread judicial corruption in Indiana and Randall Terry Shepard's (Indiana Chief Justice's) role in it and his state of judiciary address (01.16.2008, this section, below) to the Indiana legislature. Mr. Shepard has not seen fit to respond to the people's Open Letter (below) to him which may not be surprising given his complicity in unlawful activities of Indiana judiciary. Therefore, given the legal maxim that silence equates with fraud and admission of guilt, we demand Randall Terry Shepard's resignation and his replacement by a chief justice who would uphold the rule of law and who has not been tainted by crimes and conspiracy against victims of Indiana judiciary.

“N.B. Assertions herein are supported by documentary, audio and personal testimony evidence and proof.

Dear Indiana Legislator,
On January 16, 2008, Randall Terry Shepard, Chief Justice of Indiana delivered his 21st State of the Judiciary address to a joint session of the Indiana General Assembly, as required by Indiana Constitution. In conclusion, he stated:
"In short, this is a judiciary with reform in its heart, its feet on the ground, and its mind focused on its customers."
Having experienced the quality of justice and conduct of judges in Indiana courts first hand, we, the undersigned, will not even waste your time discussing the judge's premise for the content of his speech. Suffice it to say that Mr. Shepard (or rather “RANDELL SHEPERD”, see footnote -FN1) is correct to refer to "customers" as rule of law and justice have become commodities in Indiana courts and are sold to the highest bidders through abuse and disdain for the law,....”. See the link above for the full text of this communication to the legislators.

1.A- January 12, 2008: Open Letter To Randall Terry Shepard, Chief Justice Of Indiana: by victims, especially mothers and fathers, of Indiana judicial and official corruption primarily by and in Indiana courts at all levels including county courts, Indiana court of Appeals and Supreme Court. As the chief judge of Indiana, Randall Terry Shepard is directly and personally responsible for the unlawful and corrupt conduct of his judges. It is intended that the publicity in this regard shall be maintained until and unless he either institutes a criminal investigation into the conduct of Indiana judges and cleans up his judicial house, or makes room for an honest and law-abiding chief judge to carry out the task. Additionally, see the Press Release and the Brief In Support also submitted to the multitude of media outlets within Indiana, nationally and internationally and to the federal and Indiana legislatures. If you, your children, parents, or any one you know, have been victimized by Indiana courts, please join (by sending Email to) us in this ongoing effort to root out corruption from, and have the Constitution and rule of Law of the Land, return to Indiana “family” courts. Sent to 50+ media outlets.
You could distribute the Open Letter, Press Release and the Brief In Support regarding the “family” court corruption and fraud to the media (newspapers, TV stations, internet, etc) and to Indiana and US legislators to let them know that Randall Terry Shepard is knowingly unwilling (or unable) to carry out his duty and responsibility to keep Indiana judges from committing crimes upon parents of Indiana.
Also and very importantly, you could use the material here to educate people about how crooked judges in conjunction with some corrupt prosecutors and lawyers not only defraud the U.S. Government, but also routinely violate the legal and constitutional rights of Indiana parents and children resulting in the destruction of their lives and families, and deprivation of their livelihoods, liberties and children for the kidnap money otherwise known as federal incentive.

- Join (E-Mail) us to seek redress against judicial and official corruption.

4- Boycott of Travel to And Commerce with Indiana for its Human Rights Violations (Including Against European Union Citizens)

Message to International organizations and businesses: If and when there were any notion of relocating, starting a business or investing in Indiana, USA, it is a legal, ethical and moral consideration to bear in mind that laws of Indiana, many unconstitutional) are operated by a corrupt judiciary (all the way through its supreme court) with a lynch-mob mentality (not least a reflection of inferior standard of Indiana education system) and supported by a corrupt system of county prosecutors' and Attorney General's offices to the detriment of any morality, ethics, Constitution and even Indiana laws themselves not to mention an extremely family unfriendly court system that could and would decimate your work force's families, abuse their children and defraud them out of their money all under the color of law in order to grab (through defrauding the compliant US federal government for Title IV-D “reimbursement and incentive” money for destroying families and creating fatherless children). The said corruption also extends to areas, such as business, that said perpetrators influence. Any venture that could possibly benefit Indiana would be supporting and contributing to this corrupt system and the atrocities it perpetrates. You are, therefore, urged to refrain from doing any business whatsoever in Indiana. Furthermore, European Union countries and businesses are additionally legally obliged to refrain from doing business with Indiana as this state's atrocities and human rights violations have been knowingly perpetrated upon European Union citizens and nationals who'd take appropriate steps to prevent any business transaction with Indiana. (See above, Dr. Sanjari's letter to Indiana Governor, Mitch Daniels).

Submit YOUR own case of judicial corruption, atrocities and violations by Indiana judges. But, please read this link first.
For ALL of the following human rights atrocities by the corrupt and miscreant Indiana judges, their boss, chief judge of Indiana, CEO RANDELL SHEPERD is ultimately responsible. Also it must be noted that they can not be both judges/courts and CORPORATIONS at the same time. Since they seem to be CORPORATIONS traded on the Stock Market, then they can not be legitimate courts/judges. Therefore, they have conflict of interest and hence, no lawful jurisdiction over people. This is a fraud of highest level against the people by the judiciary.

The following are some of the criminal violations by the courts and judges of Indiana that the mainstream media (including those in Indiana) not only do not publicize, but also bend backward in a knee jerk reaction to defend the very criminal judges even in the face of evidence against them!
Some of the questions that might be asked include, but not limited to:
a) What is the unholy relationship between Elkhart attorney Max K. Walker, Jr. and his relatives Elkhart county judges George Biddlecome and Mona (his brother in law and sister)? Walker is a former Elkhart county deputy prosecutor who was disgraced and left (!) his position after having beaten up a woman (see the case against him below) and assaulted her (then) 9-year old daughter.
b) Why is it that Indiana courts let Walker off the hook without any meaningful prosecution of him ? His BAR membership dues must have served him well to keep him in the “club” with and by other BAR members, i.e. “brethren” Judges!
c) How and why the evidence against Walker, somewhat coincidentally and mysteriously, was “lost” in the Elkhart police department ?
d) Did it have to do with the positions of Walker's brother in law and sister, or his own position as deputy prosecutor, or both?
e) What are the real estate dealings that Walker is involved in about?
f) Which, if any, members of Elkhart judiciary are involved in these dealings?
g) How deep does the corruption amongst Elkhart judiciary, county prosecutor's office, etc, run?
h) Why does the county prosecutor's office, through its deputy, Bruce Wells, issue unlawful orders against fathers in violation of the latter's constitutional rights?
i) Why is the Elkhart county prosecutor getting away with committing fraud against the Elkhart citizens, tax payers and others?
j) Could it be that the criminal violations of the Elkhart courts and judges are ignored by the county prosecutor's office because of its own involvement in the fraud against the Elkhart citizens?
k) Could it be that Elkhart county prosecutor does not do the job people of Elkhart elected him to do such as investigating corruption amongst Elkhart judiciary including but not limited to those involving Max Walker and his corrupt dealings, such as case-fixing, with the Elkhart courts, because Walker having been a deputy prosecutor himself previously ?
l) Or, could it be because of Walker's connection with judges Biddlecome, et al.?
m) Why is it that judges of Indiana court of appeals are permitted to get away with conspiracy with lower court judges (such as REX REED)?
n) Where is the US District Attorney to investigate said criminal violations ?
o) Why does the IN Supreme Court participate in, aids and abets and/or knowingly overlooks the conspiracy and criminal acts of Indiana judges such as through its refusal to provide redress such as by not accepting Petitions for Transfer (appeals) to the Supreme Court, or dismissing cases where action is due ? There is evidence that IN Supreme Court has been informed of such violations and has refused to take action!
p) Does it not make the IN Supreme Court, and its top judge, RANDELL SHEPERD, knowingly a co-conspirator in those criminal violations, fraud, etc?

Complaint (by yet another* victim of Elkhart Courts) against: Elkhart County, judges, IN Court of , IN, “Judges” David C. Bonfiglio, of superior court 6, Evan S.

8- February 01, 2008: “Indiana Judge [Rebecca S. McClure], Town [Thorntown] and County [Boone] Sued For Violating Public Access Law”.Boone County Superior Court Judge Rebecca McClure was sued Friday 01 February 2008 by Stuart Showalter a family rights advocate and government watchdog. The Boone County Superior Court II, the County of Boone and the Town of Thorntown were also named as defendants.
This lawsuit came about after McClure failed to comply with a directive from Indiana's Public Access Counselor (PAC) that stated McClure was to allow Showalter to listen to the court recordings of the proceedings in State of Indiana v Delisa Draper or provide him with a copy. Showalter is now contacting associates throughout the state to see if courts in their counties have the necessary equipment.

9- January 30, 2008: “Indiana judge [Rebecca S. McClurre], subject of disciplinary proce[e]dings, denies access to court records supporting allegations”. One might ask what the Indiana Supreme Court chief judge “RANDELL SHEPERD” is doing about such due process and access to courts violations. After all, is HE not the CEO of the CORPORATION of Indiana Supreme Court with responsibility for and to oversee lower Indiana courts and judges!? Or, are this judge's actions (that could only be reasonably seen as cover up of other violations) too going to be ignored and/or covered up by CEO “SHEPERD” like so many of other violations by other Indiana judges (see below)???

Dr. Sanjari's Interviews, &
Human Rights Atrocities By Indiana Upon His Children

WHO: Elkhart Superior Court No. 5 (Elkhart, Indiana) and the special judges thereof Rex L. Reed (Kosciusko Circuit Court, Warsaw, Indiana) and Michael D. Cook (Marshall Circuit Court, Plymouth, Indiana) in conspiracy with Max K. Walker, Jr. (Attorney, Elkhart, Indiana- Walker has been sued in federal courts for professional misconduct and criminal fraud and conspiracy by various individuals) and others (see "Cast of Characters" below) and aiding and abetting by the Elkhart Superior Court administrative staff and clerk (Stephanie Burgess), Elkhart County Prosecutor's Office (Curtis T. Hill, Jr. / Bruce A. Wells) and Indiana Attorney General's office (Stephen Carter / David A. Arthur).
CHARGES: Maliciously and knowingly violating and conspiracy to violate the state laws and Constitution as well as laws and the Constitution (not limited to Due Process, Equal Protection, Access to the Courts, Parental Rights, ...) for the United States (the Supreme Law of the Land), fraud, official misconduct, false representation and misrepresentation, obstruction of justice, tampering official court records, ordering false and illegal imprisonment, deprivation of fundamentally protected parental rights, endangering and aiding and abetting to endanger the psychological and physical safety of minor children, child abuse, infliction of emotional distress, issuing illegal and void ab initio orders and without jurisdiction, and ultimately committing treason against the United States.

The legal papers (below) filed indicate only a small portion of the judicial atrocities perpetrated in the instant case. For more recent federal filings, please contact the undersigned E-Mail.
Dates: The above perpetrations began in May 2001 although prior to that there were indications of violations including Max K. Walker, Jr. (who has been sued in federal courts for professional misconduct and criminal fraud and conspiracy by individuals) and the presiding judge Terry Shewmaker who happened (!) to be his ex-partner without declaration of conflict of interest. Further conspiracies amongst Walker, Shewmaker and Rita Parsons (GAL) have come to light. These three individuals (Walker, Shewmaker & Parson) are known to have fixed court cases).
WHERE: Elkhart Superior Court, Elkhart, and Elkhart Circuit Court, (Northern) Indiana.

HOW: By, 2001) former wife, Alison Gratzol, her current spouse, John Gratzol, in conspiracy with her attorney Max Walker, Jr. (whose sister, Mona Biddlecome, and brother in law George W. Biddlecome are judges of Elkhart Superior Court) fraudulently filing, and the judge (Michael D. Cook) fraudulently issuing void ab initio orders in a secret ex parte hearing without legal and proper service of process, removing father's equal (physical and legal) custody in short order and in absentia, based upon a single unproven lie (that he would not be returning) and without showing any "compelling state interest" (see US Supreme Court Case laws). Walker and Judge Shewmaker are known to have fixed court cases. These actors defrauded the Court and the undersigned (father) under the color of law. The rest of the violations were perpetrated in order to perpetuate and cover up their criminal activities and denying and frustrating the undersigned's legal and constitutional rights and efforts when, upon his return, he initiated legal action. They also conspired to knowingly endanger and aided and abetted to endanger the safety of the father's minor children by inflicting psychological and physical abuse upon the said minors, and subsequently covering up the same. Special judges Cook and Reed violated the laws and Constitution, threatened the father in court (documented), violated his constitutional (First Amendment, Fourth Amendment, Sixth Amendment, Seventh Amendment, Ninth Amendment, Thirteenth Amendment and Fourteenth Amendment) and parental rights, defrauded him, lied, issued void orders under the color of law and without jurisdiction, .... .
WHY: Prejudice and discrimination against the undersigned on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, and gender (he is a man and a father) , as well as for greed for the former wife, Alison Gratzol, her husband John Gratzol and her corrupt lawyer Max K. Walker, Jr., anticipated collection of large sums of money from the undersigned while depriving him of his parental rights. Furthermore, greed and fraud by the court as for each child support order, the State, and therefore, the court receives federal kickback money (child kidnap money “incentive” under Title IV-D, 42 U.S.C. 455 et seq.). Hence, the prejudice against fathers and encouragement of discord by the ironically called "family" courts between parents and their children. For the state and “family” courts in conspiracy with their lawyer friends, destroy the family in order to establish child support regimes as each child support order attracts federal kickback money that go to pay the judges' pensions, fill Attorney General office's coffers, not to mention the county and the state. This is a conspiracy to destroy the fabric of society, i.e. The Family, for profit. As far as the state and its courts and judges therein are concerned, “Best Interests” of the child does not even enter the equation. Interestingly enough, the very grant block that the state receives from the federal government, debunks any (perceived) notion of immunity for the state, the courts, and any officers thereof, hence they can be sued in federal courts in both their personal and official capacities for damages and pain they sow and inflict upon children and families by their unconstitutional and unlawful and heinous atrocities.

Who would have thought that a senile and out of control judge (Reed) would perpetrate the above atrocities and conspire with the Elkhart Superior Court (and its Clerk, Stephanie Burgess), Elkhart County Prosecutor's Office (Curtis T. Hill, Jr. / Bruce A. Wells) and Indiana Attorney General's (A-G, Stephen Carter / David A. Arthur) office to unlawfully deprive a father of his liberty (in order to muzzle him), and get the Indiana judicial hierarchy, all the way up to and including the Indiana Supreme Court, to support him in his criminal (mis)conduct and have State of Indiana (through its Attorney General, Steve Carter, and Deputy A-G David A. Arthur) spend Indiana tax payers' money to defend him for his misdeeds and corruption under color of law in federal courts.
Although Judge Reed is a defendant in no fewer than 3 federal suits brought by the undersigned against him, he still refuses to disqualify himself and continues to issue void and illegal orders and without jurisdiction against the undersigned by the apparent blessing of the Indiana judicial hierarchy, not least Randall Shepard, who appointed him.

And what does this say about Indiana judicial system and its Attorney General's office and Elkhart County Prosecutor's office ? And the Judge is

of Kosciusko Circuit Court sitting (illegally and without jurisdiction) as special judge in an Elkhart Superior Court case, and

Chief Judge of Indiana Supreme Court who is ultimately responsible for the corruption of Indiana judges.

People of Indiana might have a few questions to ask from their officials such why Steve Carter and David A. Arthur, the A-G and his deputy spend $1000s to fly across the country to defend corrupt Indiana judges, such as Rex L. Reed, in federal courts in Massachusetts!!!

N.B. It maybe noted that any and all officials (federal, state, local, law enforcement agencies, judiciary, etc) are required by federal law (18 U.S.C. 1-4, etc) and US Supreme Court rulings to report misconduct and violations of other officials including judges. Officials would be liable for prosecution if they fail to report such violations. Amongst such officials who have thus failed are Indiana Attorney General's Office, Elkhart county courts and prosecutor's office, law enforcement agencies, Whitley Circuit Court, Indiana, ... .

Furthermore, any official who executes, processes or otherwise attempts to enforce judge's void orders, is legally liable (including monetary) for prosecution both in their personal as well as official capacities (they'd have no immunity).

N.B. The above statements are made by Dr. Amir H. Sanjari (E-Mail), one of the victims, along with his children, of Indiana judicial corruption.

Below are some of the Legal Actions and Suits Against Elkhart Superior Court of Indiana, Judge Michael D. Cook, Judge Rex L. Reed, Alison Gratzol, John Gratzol, Max K. Walker, Jr., & Lou Ann Todd
1- Rule 60 (B) for fraud and void ab initio filed against Elkhart Superior Court, judge Michael D. Cook and judge Rex L. Reed for their unconstitutional activites and orders. Statuts: Declined to be taken up for consideration by Indiana Supreme Court!!! What a surprise! Bearing in mind that Indiana chief justice, Randall Shepard, himself appointed Rex Reed himself! Had they taken the case up, they'd have had to either abide by the Laws of the Land and held in Dr. Sanjari's favor, in which case it would implied potentially grave consequences for judges Michael Cook and Rex Reed and Elkhart. Or, they'd have held in favor of the trial court to protect it and the special judges therein. In this event, having been involved in the said judges' and trial court's violations and not reported their criminal activities, the Indiana Supreme Court itself would have been liable (18 U.S.C. 1 to 4). However, since Dr. Sanjari has on a number of occasions informed the Indiana Supreme Court, neither the latter nor the Indiana Court of Appeals can shrug responsibility and claim ignorance of the trial court's and judges' violations. Therefore, they are held legally and morally liable both in their official and personal capacities. 2- Federal lawsuit filed (September 2005) against Elkhart Superior Court and special judge therein (purported) judge Rex L. Reed of Kosciusko Circuit Court (Warsaw, IN) for fraud, aiding and abetting in fraud, violations of many Amendments of the US Constitution, fraudulently issuing void ab initio orders, obstruction of justice, unlawful tampering of official court records and dockets, lying, discrimination, civil rights violations, endangering minor children's safety and well-being, .... Other defendants include Alison Gratzol and John Gratzol of Elkhart, IN, (with aiding and abetting of their lawyer Max K. Walker, Jr., a former disgraced deputy Elkhart county prosecutor (see bottom of the main web page for evidence), the Elkhart Superior Court and special judges therein including judge Micheal D. Cook of Marshall Circuit Court, Plymouth, IN, and Rex L. Reed) for defrauding the court and the father (Dr. Sanjari) and fraudulently and unconstitutionally seeking and being granted sole-custody of minor children and fraudulently and unlawfully obtaining $10,000.00s in child support, inflicting emotional, psychological and physical abuse and Parental Alienation upon minor children, extortion, kidnapping of minors without lawful custody, deprivation of the father's constitutionally protected parental rights, etc. Status: Currently in the US Circuit Court of Appeals For the First Circuit (CA1), Boston, MA. 3- Lawsuit in Indiana court filed (January 2006) against purported judge Rex L. Reed for multitude of violations (see above). No remedy is expected in Indiana courts at any level all the way up to the IN supreme court as they have shown their predisposition to protect and cover up for a corrupt judge (Reed) rather than abide by the Constitution and federal and Indiana laws. Status: Currently in Indiana Court of Appeals, where dockets in the father's earlier appeals have been tampered with to cover up for the misconduct and violations of the Elkhart court and the clerk therein, not to mention the ex parte communication with Rex Reed. Wouldn't one just love to know what was so secretly communicated between the defendant judge Reed and the IN court of appeals in that illegal communication ??????? Is there no limit to the corruption in Indiana Judicial hierarchy ??????? 4- Petition for Removal of the Elkhart case to federal court filed (April 2006) for multitude of constitutional violations by the Gratzols, Elkhart Superior Court and Rex L. Reed. The latter two are also specifically included as parties. Status: Currently, in the US Circuit Court of Appeals For the Seventh Circuit (CA7), Chicago, IL. Why would the US District Court, judge Miller, in the instant removal case in South Bend, IN, take four (4) months to make a simple “yes” or “no” ruling on a simple motion to Amend? Throughout the above cases, the Indiana Attorney General's office has been defending the Elkhart Superior Court and judge Rex L. Reed in federal and Indiana courts for their violations. One question begs to be asked is: While the Indiana's children suffer from inferior education, sub-standard quality of care, incompetent, biased and inadequate child protective services, why Indiana is spending tax payers' money to defend corrupt judges and courts !!!! ------------------------>
