My story has been brought up by somebody else as an example of discrimination by the federal court, NDNY, on the basis of my Russian origin

As I said before on this blog, Pacer.gov is a good and affordable source of research.

Yesterday, I was doing research on Pacer.gov - and voila! I obtained an extremely interesting piece, a Memorandum of Law by a suspended attorney Leon Koziol (Mr. Koziol is of Slavic origin), who argued that the fierce discrimination directed by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York against him is a reflection of the court's bias against people of Slavic origin.

And brought up the story of how state and federal courts in New York persecute me for publicly exposing and criticizing judicial misconduct, pointing out that I, too, am of Slavic origin.  That I am Russian.

Which is what I was trying to prove all along.

Judges who occupy benches at this time were mostly raised in the Cold War era when a Russian was an equivalent of a communist, a spy and an enemy.

Such embedded notions do not go away easily.  Sometimes such notions simply do not go away.

But, at least somebody other than myself is point out that NDNY is discriminating based on ethnicity of people.

I agree.
