THE EVOLUTION OF JUDICIAL TYRANNY IN THE UNITED STATES:

"If the judges interpret the laws themselves, and suffer none else to interpret, they may easily make, of the laws, [a shredded] shipman's hose!" - King James I of England, around 1616.

“No class of the community ought to be allowed freer scope in the expression or publication of opinions as to the capacity, impartiality or integrity of judges than members of the bar. They have the best opportunities of observing and forming a correct judgment. They are in constant attendance on the courts. Hundreds of those who are called on to vote never enter a court-house, or if they do, it is only at intervals as jurors, witnesses or parties. To say that an attorney can only act or speak on this subject under liability to be called to account and to be deprived of his profession and livelihood by the very judge or judges whom he may consider it his duty to attack and expose, is a position too monstrous to be entertained for a moment under our present system,” Justice Sharwood in Ex Parte Steinman and Hensel, 95 Pa 220, 238-39 (1880).

“This case illustrates to me the serious consequences to the Bar itself of not affording the full protections of the First Amendment to its applicants for admission. For this record shows that [the rejected attorney candidate] has many of the qualities that are needed in the American Bar. It shows not only that [the rejected attorney candidate] has followed a high moral, ethical and patriotic course in all of the activities of his life, but also that he combines these more common virtues with the uncommon virtue of courage to stand by his principles at any cost.

It is such men as these who have most greatly honored the profession of the law. The legal profession will lose much of its nobility and its glory if it is not constantly replenished with lawyers like these. To force the Bar to become a group of thoroughly orthodox, time-serving, government-fearing individuals is to humiliate and degrade it.” In Re Anastaplo, 18 Ill. 2d 182, 163 N.E.2d 429 (1959), cert. granted, 362 U.S. 968 (1960), affirmed over strong dissent, 366 U.S. 82 (1961), Justice Black, Chief Justice Douglas and Justice Brennan, dissenting.

" I do not believe that the practice of law is a "privilege" which empowers Government to deny lawyers their constitutional rights. The mere fact that a lawyer has important responsibilities in society does not require or even permit the State to deprive him of those protections of freedom set out in the Bill of Rights for the precise purpose of insuring the independence of the individual against the Government and those acting for the Government”. Lathrop v Donohue, 367 US 820 (1961), Justice Black, dissenting.

"The legal profession must take great care not to emulate the many occupational groups that have managed to convert licensure from a sharp weapon of public defense into blunt instrument of self-enrichment". Walter Gellhorn, "The Abuse of Occupational Licensing", University of Chicago Law Review, Volume 44 Issue 1, September of 1976.

“Because the law requires that judges no matter how corrupt, who do not act in the clear absence of jurisdiction while performing a judicial act, are immune from suit, former Judge Ciavarella will escape liability for the vast majority of his conduct in this action. This is, to be sure, against the popular will, but it is the very oath which he is alleged to have so indecently, cavalierly, baselessly and willfully violated for personal gain that requires this Court to find him immune from suit”, District Judge A. Richard Caputo in H.T., et al, v. Ciavarella, Jr, et al, Case No. 3:09-cv-00286-ARC in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, Document 336, page 18, November 20, 2009. This is about judges who were sentencing kids to juvenile detention for kickbacks.

Attorney Gerard N Misk of Ginsburg & Misk has made a great "advertising" for himself and his law firm by having a lawsuit dismissed against him an embarrassing issue by two "former" attornets, one not even s native speaker of English. Good job, Mr Misk!

This is an update to my blog of December 9, 2023 about the interesting phenomenon of an attorney who - well, read, what he was doing.

And here is the result of his actions.

It happens, it happens.

The one who bad-mouths you in court the most - instead of learning, following and presenting to the court the governing law and solid evidence, had his rear end handed back to him by the judge on Friday, December 15, 2023, when the judge has dismissed the case against me and my husband, a (politically) suspended and a (politically) disbarred attorney.

The lawsuit was stupid to begin with - a purported corporation attempted to allege a so-called easement through our property.

I will not go into more details while the said corporation is rearranging its ruffled feathers and preparing - maybe - to sue us once again.

I wonder though whether the badmouthing Mr Misk will be there for the second lawsuit after so epically failing the first one.  I have a funny feeling that he charged his purported client an arm and a leg for his shenanigans (the purported client is the nasty woman Stephanie Carter Shaake Halberian of Delhi, NY, of the Blue Bee Cafe who has ratified, in writing, my abuse by Mr Misk in writing).

The fun part about her little "ratification" is that we, to a certain degree, gave a present to the sorry "attorney" Misk who can't tell the governing law and competent evidence from rumors, opinions, positions and beliefs.

Now the nasty woman Stephanie Carter will be unable to even sue the sorry excuse of an "attorney" Gerard N Misk (32 years of experience in law practice, mind) for his theatrical performances before the court instead of doing his job and arranging the service of the lawsuit on us in our state the way the law spelled it out for him in detail how to do.

But, attorney Misk does not read the law, considering it petty "ceremony", "games", and simply not available to us - that is what he was arguing to the court in writing, under the penalty of perjury - because we were stripped by the State of NY for being too good of litigators against the State of NY. 

I was not there at the hearing, Misk did cause a very precarious situation with my health,  but we still made our motions on submitted basis, the hearing, with Mr Misk appearing, happened, some of my friends appeared virtually as members of the public, for support and gave me their accounts.

The written decision will be published as soon as it is produced by the court.

Later I will publish the transcript of the hearing when I purchase it.

The "Misk fiasco" against 2, as he kept saying, "former attorneys" who were not even present at the hearing to oppose him clearly shows to the public that a law license has nothing to do with litigation skills or integrity of the lawyer.

BTW, Misk invented a word I will borrow for future use, how to term us since, by law, a disbarred attorney is not an attorney, and a suspended attorney is an attorney in the view of the regulator, but is not in the view of the criminal law.

Mr Misk just called us "experienced litigators" - but still did not prepare for a vigorous and well-researched opposition, firmly believing that "the system" will never let us win, no matter what.

Yet, there happened a judge who simply applied the law - could not believe it, did not hope for it, but it happened. 

The judge has dismissed the action, because Mr Misk could not arrange for service of the summons and Complaint of two sitting-duck elderly defendants whose addressm on an unfenced property on a public road in South Carolina was known to the nasty woman  Stephanie Carter Halberian for 8 years.

A profound waste of the purported client's, the court's, and our own time and resources.

The tribal Delaware County (NY) and its County Atty Amy Merklen have finally had their comeuppance in a federal lawsuit against them, asking for actual and punitive damages against many public officials INDIVDIUALLY

 A federal lawsuit has been filed against Delaware County, NY by a local newspaper represented by a powerful legal team, Cornell Law School 1st Amendment Clinic and Albany's legal giant Greenberg & Traurig, for restricting - surprise! - access of journalists to the county employees for news about issues of public concern ("the gag directive").

You may read the text of the Complaint here - highly recommend to read it all, very informative.

I have written extensively on this blog about the retaliative practices of Delaware County and its various public officials, against me, as a citizen journalist (legal blogger).

I am Exhibit 1 of the exact same type of retaliation sued for in the current federal lawsuit - so I am considering an intervention into the lawsuit.

I also have personal knowledge that Merklen is controlling with her illegal "gag directive" interaction of the Delaware County Clerk's office - over the heads of judges presiding in specific cases - with pro se litigants.

That is in regards to records in court cases, since Delaware County Clerk's office is the official custodian of such records, has a duty to transfer certain records to the Appellate Division on appeals, fails to do it timely, therefore, stalls appeals against people the County officials hate (like me and my husband), and refuses to talk about their activities with us sending us to discuss anything about our own court case and records there to Merklen (obviously in accordance with her sued-upon "gag directive").


What was hilarious was that the Delaware County Clerk's office has directed us, after talking to Merklen's office, to file FOIL requests to receive copies of our own court file.


Not Judiciary Law 255 requests, mind, but FOIL requests.  Merklen is completely out of her mind - was never known for competence anyway, which is a valuable, if not the main quality for selection of a Delaware County employee: you must be loyal, stupid, incompetent and immoral, otherwise you won't be able to function and preserve your health in that employment.

Well, when people are stupid, they fail to be aware of their own illegal activities - especially when such activities were condoned for too long.


So - enjoy your reading.


And, here is a link to my previous blog about Merklen, just for you to understand the background of the author of the illegal "gag directive".


BTW - the beauty of the lawsuit is that it is very well researched, backed up with evidence, represented by a powerful legal team, and is asking for ACTUAL damages against all defendants INDIVIDUALLY, as well as PUNITIVE damages and ATTORNEY FEES - which, in the case of Greenberg & Traurig, may be very, very substantial.


And, the insurance policy of Delaware County has an EXCEPTION for coverage of intentional misconduct of county employees, so they will have to pay whatever is agaist them, out of their own pocket, which is very sweet, finally.

A call for public attendance of an online court hearing to see why you can't get an honest and competent attorney to represent you in criminal, family state court and in civil rights cases: because attorneys are afraid to be dehumanized this way if the state who they sue too well takes their law licenses

People who would want to see a court hearing where a New York attorney Gerard N Misk of Ginsburg & Misk LLP will be arguing to the court that the loss of a law license (on political grounds in our case) must lead to a complete loss of a right to defend yourself in a property dispute, please, send me your emails by messenger or whatsup 1 843 240 7745.

Literally, attorney Misk has asked the court to deem all legal arguments coming from us, individuals with the collective experience of near a 1/2 century of practicing law, as bogus, and any evidence coming from us "incompetent", including public records, medical records, affidavits of us as witnesses and authenticators of photographic evidence made by us on our phones, and affidavits of our family members and a neighbor.

All because the State of New York was too afraid to keep us in practice because we litigated against the government for the people, including pro Bono, too well.

Here is the "hero", attorney Misk, attempting to litigate outside of the area in which he "concentrates" in his law firm (easement dispute):


And here is what this "hero" submits to the court:




Mind that he is asking the court to deep all of our evidence incompetent because he has failed to rebut it and is deemed to have admitted it on behalf of his alleged client.

But that is not all.

In the next paragraph, this "hero" mocks our disabilities in clear violation of the Joint Order of Appellate Divisions of 2020 on Lawyer Civility


Attorney Misk talks in this manner about a 76-old man, my husband, who has practiced law in Delhi, NY for 37 years and whose law office was open 24/7 for free consultations to the public.

He was disbarred based on fraudulent lawsuit of former Supreme Court Justice and Chief Judge of the 6th Judicial District Robert Harlem and his son and attorney Richard Harlem, of which one of the claimed Plaintiffs in the case allegedly represented by these two fraudsters (one dead by now) has sent to us an affidavit after the case has concluded and after my husband was disbarred.

Here it is:


It is apparent that, considering that the Harlems have rented, for decades, an office space to a recently retired local State Senator, simply removed - by fraud - a successful competitor (my husband) from the market.

That my husband was also a pro bono source of legal advice for poor people of several local upstate poor counties, did not concern the fraudsters one bit.

We have received this affidavit in November of 2015.  Within days of receipt of that affidavit, I was suspended, after repeatedly refusing demands of certain high-power individuals to divorce my husband and thus expose his assets to being robbed - or else.

Or else happened, and we simply left the State of New York and now live quietly in South Carolina.

But now - tada! - every punk coming out of the woodwork who does not know us or about us - like Mr. Misk - consider it their sacred duty to kick us claiming that anything coming from us is frivolous, vexatious and incompetent, simply because the State of New York considered us too dangerous for the New York State government to remain in practice.

And, that punk considers that he can kick us even FOR our disabilities - multiple after COVID and due to our respective ages and stress we went through, representing our clients in good faith and to the best of our collective abilities.

Here is WHO he is insulting as faking his disability and for what (and, mind, these documents have been submitted to the court and to Mr. Misk's attention and are available for public viewing on NYSCEF, guest search, see case # above.  

Any document in this case is downloadable by anybody from any place on Earth with an Internet connection.

So, here is who Mr. Misk is insulting, kicking and mocking for his allegedly "fake" disability:


This is how he "walks", fighting cruel pain with every step, the man who has not only generously provided FREE legal consultations and often a free representation to the community in Delaware, Otsego, Chenango counties and to anybody who would call - for 37 years, the service that now is lost to the people.  Look at his face - can you fake such a concentration to try to prevent un-preventable pain?

Here is one of the sources of his pain: the completely destroyed hip joint:

Note one side of the body having the round joint and the other not having it.  This is the source of tremendous pain and inability to walk for him - Mr. Neroni could not walk outside the house for a YEAR! and is moving between floors only with the help of - thank God! - existing elevator.

Here is another source of his pain:  two hernias with loops of intestines protruding into one of them




Recognizing Mr. Neroni's restrictions on mobility, a licensed physician in the State of South Carolina has submitted on Mr. Neroni's behalf a certified statement of his disability and pain, and, based on that statement, the State of South Carolina has recognized Mr. Neroni as permanently disabled and gave him a placard for parking purposes for the maximum of 4 years that is given in South Carolina only for a permanent disability:


Mr. Neroni, as a result of his disabilities, suffers cruel pains at night, including debilitating, long, relentless leg cramps.  The only thing that helps relieve those cramps at least a little bit is a muscle spasm spray, but Mr. Neroni cannot reach where it hurts on his own, it is I who is applying the spray every night.

Naturally, after sleepless nights fill for Mr. Neroni with pain and sleep deprivation and for me with mental anguish for my husband and with sleep deprivation, too, which undermines my own - multiple - health conditions after COVID and due to my age of 60, we are unable to be coherent enough to attend court hearings, even virtual ones, and effectively representing ourselves.

To understand what is at stake, Mr. Misk is suing us on behalf of - allegedly, he did not prove his authority to prosecute this lawsuit so far, in my legal opinion on my own behalf - a commercial corporation that claims to own the Stewart's Store in Delhi, NY, and that claims an alleged right to drive vehicles over our property.  That's it.  A property dispute.

Is a property dispute worth for the court system to TORTURE, literally, physically and mentally, TORTURE a disabled man over?

Apparently, it is.

Mr. Misk, apparently, also thinks so.

Because being aware of all of medical problems of Mr. Neroni, he submitted the following response to Mr. Neroni's MINIMAL request to the court - to either move the virtual hearing to the afternoon from the early morning so that he could catch some sleep after his horrible nights, or, even better, to allow his motions to be heard on submitted basis, as IS THE DEFAULT PROCEDURE FOR EVERYBODY in Delaware County Supreme Court anyway.

Here is the response of Mr. Misk in which he asks the judge to DENY the reasonable accommodation to a severely disabled individual who is in pain based on that individual's complaint against the presiding Justice McBride saying this:

Subject:complaint about misconduct and potential bribery of Justice Joseph A. McBride, assigned justice, Delaware County Supreme Court, Berrian Inc. v. Frederick J. Neroni, Tatiana Neroni, EF 2023-322
Date:2023-09-24 21:51
From:nf@catskill.net
To:cjc@cjc.ny.gov6jd-res@nycourts.gov


Dear Sirs

Attached please find the following documents:

(1) the e-docket as of today in the above entitled Delaware County Supreme Court Action that I have downloaded as a guest, as any other person with an Internet connection can do; this is not an appearance or waiver of any rights in this action;

(2) Justice McBride's court calendars in Chenango, Broome, and Delaware County Supreme Courts for October 13, 2023;

(3) Justice McBride's court orders, NYSCEF Docs. 21, 22 in Berrian Inc. v. Frederick J. Neroni, Tatiana Neroni.


COMPLAINT:

My wife and I, two retired and disabled individuals, are domiciliaries and residents of the State of South Carolina since 2015.

In May this year, we were sued in Delaware County Supreme Court by a corporation over an alleged easement dispute.

After recusals of two other local judges, Justice Joseph A. McBride, my opponent of many years in criminal cases as a prosecutor, was assigned to the case.

The case is currently at a pre-service stage, we are UNSERVED NONDOMICILIARY defendants who did not appear in the case in any way, shape or form.

A third party has notified us that Plaintiff has applied, without serving us properly with the motion, to extend time to serve the Summons and Complaint on us in South Carolina, and for expedient service by e-mail.  The reason the third party notified us was because Plaintiff's counsel has dumped into public access our Social Security numbers, (NYSCEF Doc. 12, it was pulled on August 30, 2023 and returned into the docket on September 14, 2023, but remained within reach of identity thieves from August 16 to August 30, 2023) since New York court system allows anybody to download any files from e-filed cases for free, so now we are exposed to identity thieves thanks to Plaintiff's counsel's actions. 

I have attached the court docket as of today showing that I did not so far oppose the pending purported motion, and I do not have to.  I was not served with the motion, and the motion is clearly legally insufficient.  Moreover, even if I decide to oppose the motion, it will not be an appearance on the merits or waiver of personal jurisdiction, and the court still has no jurisdiction to order my in person appearance in the State of New York, as the whole issue Plaintiff is litigating right now is to get permission from the court for extra time to serve my wife and me in South Carolina since its 120 days to do that expired as of September 7, 2023.

My copying of this complaint to the 6th Judicial District is not a waiver on the merits either, but a notification of the court administration of a potential bribery of a Supreme Court justice.

The complaint requests a judgment qualifying under CPLR 314(2), and even if my wife and I ARE served in South Carolina, the court still will not have personal jurisdiction over us.

Justice McBride appears to have received some improper encouragement from the corporate Plaintiff or its counsel, as I have received in the mail a letter claiming that I am "listed as an attorney for one of the parties" and that my appearance in person is required by the court on October 13, 2023.

Justice McBride has no authority whatsoever to order my personal appearance, as he has no power over me as an unserved non-domiciliary defendant.

It is very apparent that Justice McBride is actively helping the corporate Plaintiff and its counsel in this matter, as the unauthorized order of Justice McBride unlawfully directing my own and my wife's personal appearance in New York from South Carolina is an obvious setup that will resolve for the Plaintiff the current problem of being unable to acquire personal jurisdiction over us because we are out of state domiciliaries, CPLR 314(2).  If we are served in court, that problem goes away, and Plaintiff's motion becomes moot.  This is, apparently, Justice McBride's approach to resolving the issue - he simply undertook to represent the Plaintiff in the matter and use his non-existent in this matter judicial power over me to order a physical appearance of unserved nondomiciliary defendants in court, which is completely unheard of and stinks of a bribe.

I have attached Justice McBride's calendars for the day when he ordered my wife's and my own appearance 850 miles away from home, a 1700 mile roundtrip for Justice's McBride's pleasure.

Justice McBride has on that day motion calendars in the Supreme Court of three counties: Broome, Chenango, Delaware.

In Broome, Justice McBride has a long list of cases which are obviously, judging by their scheduled time at the same time at 9 30 am, scheduled to be submitted.

In Chenango, Justice McBride has a full calendar, both before and after noon.  His last case in the morning is scheduled at 9 45 am and his first case in the afternoon is at 13 30, with 3.5 hours in between, which is barely enough for a roundtrip of 2+ hours to Delhi, NY and back, a public motion hearing in person, and a lunch.  Our case is the only case scheduled in Delaware County Supreme Court for Justice McBride.  The Plaintiff did not request a personal appearance, and we did not appear, so we obviously did not either.

It is very obvious that Justice McBride is going to appear virtually - while not announcing it to the public and not allowing public viewing of that virtual appearance - while setting us up to have us served by Plaintiff in the courtroom or on the steps of the courthouse, which is the only apparent reason for him to order our personal appearance.

I cannot pound it enough that since we were never served, Justice McBride has no authority over us whatsoever, whether we file an opposition to the current purported motions on submitted basis or not.  The problem is that the personnel of the court may reject our papers on submission because of Justice McBride's scheduling order requiring that the appearance is in person.  

This is a sua sponte order, Plaintiff did not ask for such an appearance, and Justice McBride certainly has no authority to order personally appearances in court of non-domiciliary unserved defendants.

That sua sponte order was issued on September 12, 2023, 5 days after Plaintiff's time to serve us in South Carolina has expired per statute, CPLR 306-b.

It is apparent that Justice McBride is acting in clear absence of authority and knows it well, and adamantly and is publicly abusing its non-existing power a corporate Plaintiff to gain jurisdiction that the Plaintiff cannot otherwise gain.

I am wondering whether Justice McBride was bribed by the Plaintiff or its counsel to make this outrageous unlawful order of personal appearance against non-appearing (as yet) unserved out of state defendants.

And, again, even if I or my wife appear in opposition to a pre-service motion to extend service, the court has no authority to order our personal appearance in the State of New York.

I request to investigate this potential bribery case.

As you understand, I am not going to stay silent about what I believe is an ongoing bribery of a Supreme Court justice, and will publish my complaint as I please.

I request to take this obviously dishonest judge off this case and off the bench.


Thank you,

This complaint was NOT filed with the court.  Mr. Neroni simply stated to Justice McBride that the denial of an ADA accommodation may create an appearance of retaliation for his complaint against the judge.

As to the mentioning of Mr. Misk's little revenge-doxxing of us, putting online our social security numbers, Mr. Misk did not tell the court about that little adventure of his, or that he was notified back in August that we have evidence that his affidavits of service submitted to the court are false.

The reaction of Attorney Misk to that:  he tried to make his false affidavits filed with the court into a bargaining tool, applying pressure upon me to accept service as a price of him not defrauding the court, see our exchange here:

Dear Sirs:

I am writing to the law firm rather than to attorney Gerard N. Misk, as attorney Misk has been listed 
as "inactive" in this case on e-courts as of 8/17/2023, see snapshot from E-courts attached.

The firm may be unaware of Mr Misk's filings, but it is the firm against whom I will have to request 
sanctions based on such filings, therefore, I am sending you a good faith notification ahead of time, 
and a request to withdraw certain filings, which I will also follow up by certified mail as 
soon as Hurricane Idalia is out of our hair.

1.  Public exposure online by attorney Gerard N. Misk of parts of my own and my husband's SSN 
that are not allowed to be exposed, likely as a revenge doxxing for our refusal to consent to 
service by e-mail and to tell them our residential address

Disclaimer:  Where, below, I am discussing my exposure of my husband's confidential 
private information (CPI) exposing my husband to identity theft, I am writing this not as my 
husband Frederick J. Neroni's attorney or representative, because I am not, but as his spouse 
with a joint income and livelihood, where my own income and livelihood may be severely 
affected by identity theft against my husband that was simplified by your attorney Misks's e-filings.

I was alerted by the court notification sent by mail to us in South Carolina that you have 
made a motion against us in the above matter.  While I have never been legally served 
with that motion, I was nevertheless, interested what was filed online, in order to protect my rights.

 As a guest, I have searched the E-docket on NYSCEF for free, as any member of the 
public from anywhere in the world is allowed to do.

The docket of Berrian, Inc. v. Neroni has showed an "Exhibit D", NYSCEF Doc. 12, filed 
electronically by your attorney Gerard N. Misk.

Documents in Exhibit D are completely unredacted, contrary to 22 NYCRR 202.5(1)(e)(i) 
and (ii) and contain:

(1) 5 FIRST digits of my Social Security Number (only 4 LAST digits are allowed to be 
disclosed by subsection (i) above;
(2) 5 FIRST digits of my husband's Social Security number;
(3) my month and year of birth (the month is prohibited for disclosure by subsection (ii) above;
(4) my husband's month and year of birth; and
(5) complete dates of birth or months of birth of our multiple family members, including our children, 
and of people listed as being in possible association with us.

You must be aware of NYS General Business Law 399DDD, which allows NYS Attorney General t
o impose, even for the first multiple violation of that section (exposure of even portions of SSNs t
hat are not allowed to be exposed) a fine of up to $100,000.00.

Such misconduct certainly qualifies as frivolous conduct, especially that Exhibit D, as your 
review must show, was completely unnecessary to file in the first place, as you and your 
client have had our residential address in South Carolina from day 1 of the litigation, but made 
no due diligence efforts to serve us.

This matter is urgent for me, as you have exposed me and my husband (which affects me) 
personally to increased chances of identity theft.

As residents of South Carolina and a consumers protected by South Carolina law, we are 
exploring options how to protect ourselves under South Carolina, New York and federal law 
from this exposure.

One of the options that we are considering is a security freeze on our credit score.

Yet, such a freeze, in itself, presents a major inconvenience to me and my husband, as the 
freeze may cause us to be turned down in certain applications for credit, or require me to 
engage in additional efforts to thaw my credit report temporarily for a particular period of time 
or a particular creditor.

In view of the above and as a matter of good faith I request that you IMMEDIATELY remove 
Exhibit D from the E-file of the court, as every extra second our 5 first digits of SSNs plus our 
months of birth remain online in free guest access to anybody from anywhere in the world, the 
chances that that information will be obtained and used for ulterior purposes and result in identity 
theft increases manifold.

Moreover, I insist that you do not refile Exhibit D after bringing it in compliance with 
22 NYCRR 202.5(1)(e)(i) and (ii), as subsection (i) allows posting of the last digits of our SSNs 
which were not posted yet by your while the first 5 digits were.

Posting the remaining 4 digits, under the circumstances, will simply put our entire SSNs online, 
exposing us completely to identity thieves.

I repeat that you must well know, as experienced attorneys, that Exhibit D was completely 
unnecessary for you to obtain personal service over us in South Carolina at the address that is 
and has been on your Summons since the filing date of the action, and I have incontrovertible 
proof to establish that iin court. 

If Exhibit D is not removed by you from the docket, I will ask the court for sanctions against your 
client, your law firm and Gerard N. Misk personally, in addition to other measures you have made 
necessary for me to protect myself from identity theft and redress the wrong imposed on me by you.

2.  False affidavits 

Attorney Gerard N. Misk has submitted to the court several affidavits of service by one J
ohnny McRae Jr.  

I have incontrovertible proof that all of these affidavits are false.

Your review of the affidavits may show you why they are facially legally insufficient, even 
without being blatantly false.

Since your client's entire purported motion is supported by these false affidavits, I may argue 
to the court that the entire motion is frivolous.

If these affidavits are not withdrawn from the case, I will be forced to ask for sanctions 
against you and, possibly, to file a lawsuit against your law firm pursuing appropriate 
causes of action in appropriate courts.

As you understand, I have sufficient litigation experience as a trial lawyer not to have 
to pay an attorney to sue you.



Please, advise how you want to proceed regarding the above described matters.



Sincerely,
Tatiana Neroni

Thank you for pointing out the error in the filing of Exhibit D. It has now been corrected, 

with my apologies. With regard to the affidavits of attempted service, we do not believe 

that they have been filed in bad faith. If you think that the request for alternative service 

is not well founded, you can file opposition. Or we can short circuit the whole affair and 

you can accept service and I will withdraw my motion.

to Gerard
Mr Misk

1. As the snapshot from the court website that I have sent to your law firm shows, you are 
listed as "inactive" on this case's page on E-courts.  I will be deeming you as having no authority
 to represent Plaintiff in this action, as per official court records, unless proof otherwise is provided.

2.  I have made a good faith effort to notify you of your potentially frivolous filing of an apparently
 false and facially insufficient affidavits before moving for sanctions.  You have a chance to withdraw
 them before I move for sanctions or/and pursue other venues of legal redress available to me 
regarding that issue.

3.  As you well know, I have no legal obligation to accept service from you, especially that 
you know full well where I reside, and that I am fully amenable to personal service there.  

Sincerely,

Tatiana Neroni

to me

Do as you wish. It is obvious that you would rather stand on ceremony than simply accept 

service of a complaint you have already received.






I did not complain against Judge McBride and did not say I did in the court filings.

Yet, here is what Mr. Misk is responding to Judge McBride, claiming that I did complain against Judge McBride and asking Judge McBride to punish both Mr. Neroni and me - with denial of ADA accommodations, no less - because of that complaint.

Mind that Mr. Misk did not disclose to the court - to this day - that he was notified by me in August that his affidavits submitted to the court are false, or that he used that fact to pressure me to waive service, while conducting no investigation of that fact.

Now, consider this beautiful piece from Mr. Misk to the court:




Mr. Misk is of an opinion, contrary to medical evidence submitted by Mr. Neroni to the court, that Mr. Neroni is faking his disability, and requests to deny his minimum ADA accommodation BECAUSE Mr. Neroni complained against the judge.

One day prior to this letter Mr. Neroni has filed a motion to vacate Judge McBride's order against Mr. Neroni made because Mr. Neroni did not appear IN NEW YORK, physically, summoned there without being served, in order to deliver Mr. Neroni as a present for service in the courtroom to the corporate alleged Plaintiff.

Mr. Neroni and I submitted enough evidence to the court to show that Mr. Misk's affidavits of service or, rather, non-service on us in South Carolina were false and that the process server has never been at our house, as he has claimed it to be "not occupied", when we had dogs and cats on the OUTSIDE screened porch from 7 30 am to 9 pm EVERY SINGLE DAY, and only a fraudster can claim to the court under such circumstances (and that was only one detail, there were a lot more) that the house was "not occupied", NYSCEF Docs. 4, 5.

That made Justice McBride realize into what mess Attorney Misk has gotten him, and, combined with Attorney Misk's direct request to retaliate against an invalid by torturing him (denying him an elementary ADA accommodation Mr. Neroni requested) BECAUSE Mr. Neroni complained against the judge, Justice McBride immediately recused.

Justice Patrick O'Sullivan was assigned.

Justice Patrick O'Sullivan has, first, taken ALL of our motions off the calendar and replaced them with a "Conference/Unknown", again scheduled for 9:30 am, despite Mr. Neroni's threat of a lawsuit for violation of the ADA.

It took several more letters to the court - which was EXTREMELY uncomfortable for Mr. Neroni physically to even write, much less file - for the court to realize that it has no authority, at a pre-service stage of proceedings, with motions to dismiss for lack of service pending, to call any "conferences", especially for "unknown" reasons, and to take off the calendar the actual motions.

What the court did though was a compromise: the judge has denied us the request for what is given to any other litigant in Delaware County Supreme Court by default, to proceed with our fully briefed motions on paper, without a hearing.

We submitted that written policy to the court with one of our letters.

Yet, the judge (1) cancelled the "Conference/Unknown", (2) restored our motions to the calendar, albeit with an adjournment of a week, and (3) still ordered an oral argument by Teams for December 15, 2023 at 2 00 pm, because the court supposedly "had questions" about the fully briefed motions.




Since we do not know Justice O'Sullivan, and because Justice O'Sullivan's letter to us was polite - for a change, after the dehumanizing treatment we suffered by the same court for years, and in this case, too, we gave the court the benefit of the doubt, rescheduled our Notices of Motions to that date and time, and are going to appear for the court's questions.

I remind the public who wants to attend that the discussion is of JURISDICTION only.

It is a pre-service stage of litigation, we were not served, and the motions are 

(1) a motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction - my motion, (I am arguing that the lawsuit is brought by an attorney not legally authorized to file lawsuits on behalf of this corporation);

(2) A motion for authority of plaintiff's counsel to bring the lawsuit, CPLR 322(a) - my motion;

(3) A motion for a more definite statement of jurisdictional grounds for personal jurisdiction over the alleged tort of obstruction of an easement, CPLR 3024(a) - my motion;

(4) a motion to vacate the prior order of Justice McBride that extended the Plaintiff's time to serve the Summons and Complaint on us, CPLR 306-b, by 30 days after the entry of the order, and allowed service by e-mail, CPLR 308(5) - motions by both Mr. Neroni and myself.

Grounds are - CPLR 5015(a)(2), (3), (4) (new evidence, misrepresentation/fraud, lack of jurisdiction)

(5) a motion to dismiss for failure to serve us with the Summons and Complaint - Mr. Neroni's and my own motions Pro Se.

Again, the motions are fully briefed, with the exception that an opposition is due on the motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction (on Dec 13th), and our replies for all motions are due on Dec 14th.

All the documents so far filed are available on the NYSCEF website for free from any point of the world.
