Andy Martin's (a.k.a. Anthony Robert Martin-Trigona) Dirty Tricks Do Not Fool Federal Courts 2/19/2010

 Andy Martin, a.k.a. Anthony Robert Martin-Trigona will stop at nothing to abuse the United States court system.  In one of his most recent lawsuits filed in September 2009, Martin made some of the most bizarre claims against the Washington Post News and on of it's reporters, Google, three Maryland Judges, an entire Maryland County Government, a small video production company called ADR Productions and several individual citizens of Maryland, Oklahoma and Florida. (see lawsuit at Martin Lawsuit).

Martin then went on with his futile attempt at another run for office in the United States Senate race for the State of Illinois while many of the defendants named in his lawsuit worked on presenting motions for dismissal based on several laws which fully supported their position.  Martin spent so much time concentrating on making outrageous radio ads and claims against one of his opponents and not caring about or respecting the court system and the rules which these courts have put in place, that he never responded to the court or the motions filed against his lawsuit.  The courts even offered him additional time to respond and in an almost arrogant manner, he refused to respond to the olive branch offered him.

After the Honorable Judge Jeanne E. Scott granted the motions for dismissal due to Martin's lack of response to the motions, Martin claims to have never received any notice from the courts.  He claims the Court sent the notices to the wrong address at his Chicago office and they sould have been sent to his New York office.  He even goes as far as to claim that the Chicago mail is a month behind in delivery.  This claim by Martin (link Martin's Motion to Vacate) is clearly one of his "Dirty Tricks" to try and scam the courts again.  All motions have been posted on both Justia.com at http://news.justia.com/cases/featured/illinois/ilcdce/3:2009cv03295/47891/ and on the Court's "Pacer" system site (read Judge Scott's opinion below or at link Opinion).  Further investigation shows that three of the defendants in this case clearly mailed certificates of service to both Martin's Chicago address and his New York address making his claims all that much more bogus.

It's nice to see that the rantings of a lunatic madman who files more frivolous lawsuits than flies in a slaughter house are dismissed by one of our most sacred institutions in the United States, our Court Systems.

OPINION
JEANNE E. SCOTT, U.S. District Judge:
This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff Andy Martin’s
Motion to Vacate Order of Dismissal and to Extend Time for Responses (d/e
15) (Motion to Vacate), and Motion to Clarify Notice in This Lawsuit (d/e
14) (Motion to Clarify). The Court interprets the Motion to Clarify as a
notice to the Court that future correspondence, including notices and
orders, should be sent to the Martin’s post office box in New York, New
York, listed on the Motion to Clarify. The Court allows this request and
directs the Clerk to change the address to which correspondence will be sent
to the New York post office box. The Motion to Clarify is denied to the
extent that he seeks any other relief.
Dockets.Justia.com
2
The Motion to Vacate states that Martin seeks relief from this Court’s
Text Order entered February 10, 2010 (Dismissal Text Order) pursuant to
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59. The Dismissal Text Order dismissed
Martin’s claims against Defendants Daniel Morse, Scott Shirley, John
Gilchrist, and Montgomery County, Maryland. A Rule 59 motion is not
appropriate at this time because there has been no final judgment entered.
Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e). The Dismissal Text Order was an interlocutory order.
Martin has alleged claims against several other Defendants that have not yet
been resolved. Notice of Removal (d/e 1), attached Complaint; see Fed. R.
Civ. P. 54(b). Relief under Rule 59, therefore, is not appropriate.
The Court, however, may reconsider any interlocutory order at any
time. Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b). The Court, therefore, interprets the Motion to
Vacate as a motion to reconsider the Dismissal Text Order. Motions for
reconsideration, “serve a limited function: to correct manifest errors of law
or fact or to present newly discovered evidence.” Caisse Nationale de Credit
Agricole v. CBI Industries, Inc., 90 F.3d 1264, 1269 (7th Cir. 1996). Martin
has failed to demonstrate a manifest error of law or fact and has failed to
present any newly discovered evidence that merits reconsideration.
Martin filed this action in Sangamon County, Illinois, Circuit Court.
3:09-cv-03295-JES-CHE # 16 Page 2 of 7

Complaint, at 1. Defendant Morse removed this action to this Court.
Notice of Removal. From December 18, 2009, to December 21, 2009,
Defendants Morse, Shirley, and Montgomery County, Maryland, filed
Motions to Dismiss on various grounds (d/e 3, 4, 7, 9, 10, 12). Martin was
obligated to respond to the Motions within fourteen days of service. If he
did not do so, he was deemed to have no objection to the Motions. Local
Rule 7.1(B)(2). Martin did not respond within the required fourteen days.
This Court then specifically directed Martin to respond to these Motions by
January 18, 2010, or the Court would deem that he had no objection to the
Motions, and the Court would rule on the Motions without further notice
to the parties. Text Order entered January 8, 2010. Martin did not
respond by January 18, 2010.
Defendant Gilchrist also filed a pro se request to dismiss the case
against him. The Clerk erroneously docketed the request as an answer
rather than a motion to dismiss. The Court directed the Clerk to docket
Gilchrist’s motion correctly as a motion to dismiss and send a copy to
Martin, and the Court directed Martin to respond by February 8, 2010.
Text Order entered January 21, 2010. The Clerk then correctly docketed
Gilcrhist’s motion (d/e 13) and sent a copy to Martin. Martin did not
3:09-cv-03295-JES-CHE # 16 Page 3 of 7
4
respond to Gilchrist’s Motion to Dismiss, or to any of the Motions to
Dismiss filed by any of these parties.
On February 10, 2010, this Court entered the Dismissal Text Order
dismissing the claims against these Defendants. The dismissal was proper.
Martin failed to comply with Local Rule 7.1(B)(2), and so, was deemed to
have no objection to any of these Motions. This Court then gave Martin
additional time to respond, but he simply failed to act. The Court sees no
basis to reconsider given his failure to comply with the Local Rules or the
orders of this Court. The Court, therefore, denies the Motion.
Martin complains that he did not receive any notices or orders from
this Court. Martin listed on his Complaint his address as a post office box
in New York, New York, and he also listed an additional address in Chicago,
Illinois. Notice of Removal (d/e 1), attached Complaint, at 17. Martin,
however, listed only his Chicago, Illinois, address on the Summons to be
served on the Defendants. Notice of Removal, attached Summons. Martin
was required to place his correct address on the Summons. Illinois Supreme
Court Rule 101(a). The Chicago address, therefore, was an appropriate
address for notices in this case. The Clerk of this Court properly sent
notices to the addresses listed on the Summons. There was no error.
3:09-cv-03295-JES-CHE # 16 Page 4 of 7
1Local Rule 5.6 became effective on January 20, 2010. Emergency Order
Adopting Local Rules, entered January 20, 2010. Before that date, this Court’s
Administrative Procedures required pro se plaintiffs to seek leave of court to participate
in the electronic filing system. Administrative Procedures for Filing, Signing, and
Verifying Pleadings and Papers by Electronic Means in Civil Cases (Revised October 22,
2007), § I.B.2.
5
Martin complains that he requested notice by facsimile transmission
or email, but none was provided. The Complaint states under the signature
block in all capitals and bold print, “SERVICE OF NOTICES IS
RESPECTFULLY REQUESTED BY FAX OR E-MAIL.” Complaint, at 17.
This Court, however, only provides electronic notice through this Court’s
CM/ECF electronic filing system. A pro se plaintiff must secure leave of
court to participate in the electronic filing system. Local Rule 5.6.1 Martin
did not file a motion for leave to participate in the electronic filing system.
He, therefore, was not entitled to receive notice from this Court by
electronic means. Martin is proceeding pro se, and so, is responsible to
review and comply with this Court’s rules and procedures. He did not
receive electronic notice because he failed to comply with those rules and
procedures. In the future, he should review these matters more carefully.
There was no error.
Martin claims that the docket sheet for this case on the public PACER
system contains nothing after December 21, 2009, so he could not have
3:09-cv-03295-JES-CHE # 16 Page 5 of 7
6
received notice from that source. He attaches to the Motion to Vacate a
printout from PACER dated February 15, 2010. Motion to Vacate, Exhibit
D, PACER Docket Sheet. The attached PACER Docket Sheet only shows
entries from the date of removal, November 10, 2009, to December 21,
2009. The Clerk’s computer technical staff has reviewed the docket sheet
on PACER and determined that all of the docket entries in this case are
available on PACER, including those entered after December 21, 2009.
Martin could have produced the PACER Docket Sheet attached to the
Motion to Vacate by placing date restrictions in his PACER search request
to limit the request to entries between November 10, 2009, and December
21, 2009. The PACER Service Center Transaction Receipt (Transaction
Receipt) would have stated whether Martin erroneously placed date
restrictions in his request. Unfortunately, Martin did not include the full
Transaction Receipt with Exhibit D, so the Court cannot ascertain whether
he made this specific error, or some other error, when he viewed the Court’s
docket on PACER. Again, Martin is proceeding pro se, and so, is
responsible to learn how to use PACER correctly. In the future, Martin
should review the correct procedures for using PACER if he wishes to secure
complete information through this source. Again, however, he has
3:09-cv-03295-JES-CHE # 16 Page 6 of 7
presented no error of law or fact, or newly discovered evidence that merits
reconsideration. The Court sees no basis for reconsidering the Dismissal
Text Order. Martin’s request is denied.
THEREFORE, Plaintiff Andy Martin’s Motion to Vacate Order of
Dismissal and to Extend Time for Responses (d/e 15) is DENIED.
Plaintiff’s Motion to Clarify Notice in This Lawsuit (d/e 14) is ALLOWED
in part and DENIED in part. The Clerk is directed to change Martin’s
mailing address for notices, orders, and other correspondence regarding this
case to: Andy Martin, P.O. Box 1851, New York, New York 10150-1851.
The Motion to Clarify is otherwise denied.
IT IS THEREFORE SO ORDERED.
ENTER: February 19, 2010

Andy Martin's (aka Anthony Robert Martin-Trigona) Lawsuit Against Washington Post is Dismissed by Judge.

Judge Jeanne E. Scott on 2/10/2010 dismissed a $225,000 lawsuit filed by Andy Martin against the Washington Post and several other defendants for Martin's failure to abide with a previous injunction requiring Martin to list all his previous history of litigation when filing any lawsuits.  The order reads:

TEXT ORDER: The following Motions are ALLOWED: Combined Motion and Supporting Memorandum of Defendant Daniel Morse to Dismiss this Action for Plaintiff's Violation of Injunction Order Requiring Plaintiff to Disclose His Pro Se Litigation History (d/e 3); Defendant Daniel Morse's Rule 12 Motion to Dismiss or, in the Alternative, Motion to Transfer Under 28 U.S.C. § 1404 and to Defer Briefing on this Motion (d/e 4); Motion to Quash Service of Summons and to Dismiss Complaint for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction (d/e 7); Combined Motion and Supporting Memorandum of Defendant Montgomery County to Dismiss this Action for Plaintiff's Violation of Injunction Order Requiring Plaintiff to Disclose His Pro Se Litigation History (d/e 9); Defendant Montgomery County's Rule 12 Motion to Dismiss or, In the Alternative, Motion to Transfer Under 28 U.S.C. § 1404 and to Defer Briefing on this Motion (d/e 10); Defendant Scott Shirley's Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction (d/e 12); and Defendant John Gilchrist's Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction (d/e 13). This Court ordered Plaintiff to respond to these Motions; however, he has not done so, and so, he is deemed to have no opposition to the Motions. Text Order entered January 8, 2010; Text Order entered January 21, 2010; Local Rule 7.1(B)(2). All claims against Defendants Daniel Morse and Montgomery County, Maryland, are dismissed with prejudice. All claims against Defendants Scott Shirley and John Gilchrist are dismissed for lack of personal jurisdiction. Defendants Morse, Montgomery County, Maryland, Shirley, and Gilchrist are dismissed from this action. The Motion of Defendant Daniel Morse for Order Granting Leave to David P. Sanders and Wade R. Thomson to Appear Pro Hac Vice (d/e 5) is denied as moot. Entered by Judge Jeanne E. Scott on 2/10/2010. (CC, ilcd) (Entered: February 10, 2010).
 The lawsuit may be seen in it's entirety in our September 22, 2009 posting at Another Frivolous Lawsuit Filed by Andy Martin.

Martin now faces several lawsuits against him in this case for defamation of character for his frivolous claims.

Earlier this month Martin failed to secure the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Illinois after receiving only 5% of the votes in the February 2, 2010 primary.

Does Andy Martin Suffer From "Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)?

Do you feel that Andy Martin (a.k.a. Anthony Robert Martin-Trigona) suffer from the following:

"Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a personality disorder defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the diagnostic classification system used in the United States, as "a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and a lack of empathy."

Andy Martin, GOP Senate Candidate, Calls Opponent Mark Kirk A "De Facto Pedophile"

http://andymartin-conspiracytheory.blogspot.com/
An already ugly race in the Republican primary for Illinois' 2010 Senate seat only got uglier Wednesday, as candidate and noted mud-monger Andy Martin released an ad calling his opponent, Rep. Mark Kirk, a "de facto pedophile."
 
Martin's campaign suggests that Kirk knew about Rep. Mark Foley's indiscretions with young male pages, and allowed them to happen. As such, Martin claims, Kirk "should be disqualified from holding public office."
The 60-second radio spot was accompanied by a lengthy press release from Martin's campaign explaining the claim. It's the second in a series of what he calls "bunker busters," accusations that are meant to explode Kirk's hidden secrets and campaign hopes.

A week ago, Mr. Kirk announced a "solid rumor" that Kirk was homosexual. That announcement led to his official rebuke by the Illinois GOP, whose chairman Pat Brady called his claims "bizarre" and "hate-filled."
But no amount of flak is likely to slow down Mr. Martin. He made a name for himself as one of the early proponents of the "birther" movement; he claimed that President Obama locked his white grandmother in a closet to hide his mixed racial background; and he once described a bankruptcy judge as "a crooked, slimy Jew, who has a history of lying and thieving common to members of his race."

The third "bunker buster" is expected next week in anticipation of the Feb. 2 primary.

Jack Roeser Speaks for Himself

Posted: January 06, 2010

By Jack Roeser

When there is an unauthorized use of your name, by discredited Senate candidate Andy Martin in this case, the old adage is "don't wrestle in the mud with a pig, you just get muddy and the pig likes it."

However, Martin continues to run his ad, and its subject is so salacious it won't die down.

Martin has a long reputation for running for office, suing people, and making irresponsible statements. I have no connection with Martin and I don't like what he does. I resent his unauthorized use of my name in his ad. WLS radio says they can't legally stop it.

Martin plucked out one of the many bad positions taken by Senate candidate Mark Kirk that I had enumerated. The list includes carbon tax and trade, abortion support, opposition to marriage being one man and one woman, his NARAL support rating, and a rumor of homosexuality which he lifted into his ad and named me as the source.

The rumor has had wide circulation in Washington, D.C. and Illinois. We didn't start it, and mentioned it only in a long list of things that should be cleared up by Mark Kirk before the primary election. The Republican Party should not be again stuck with a scandal such as that of former Florida GOP Congressman Mark Foley which led to extensive Republican loses in 2006. Former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert also saw his reputation damaged as a result of his failure to responsibly handle the broad issue of homosexuality and public service.

Recommended reading: "Do We Have a Right to Know If Candidates Are Gay? "


Jack Roeser is the Chairman and founder of Otto Engineering Inc., and the Publisher of Champion News.

Roeser wants nothing to do with Martin ad


Andy Martin's political ad questioning the sexual orientation of Mark Kirk, the Republican Party's front-runner in the U.S. Senate race in Illinois, continues to run in the Chicago market. But on Tuesday, local businessman Jack Roeser, who is quoted in the ad, said he is having his attorney look into getting the spot off the radio and/or having his name removed from it.
"I have nothing to do with that SOB," Roeser said about Martin. "His reputation precedes him. I don't like being quoted by him, and I don't support anything he does."
Roeser, founder of Otto Engineering in Carpentersville, also is involved with the nonprofit Family Taxpayers Foundation and is publisher of the for-profit, right-leaning Web site www,Championnews.net.
Roeser said his closest contact with Martin was a few months ago and limited to a phone call. Martin never asked for or sought his permission to include anything he said in any campaign material, Roeser noted.
In the ad in question, Martin says he is "fighting for the facts about Mark Kirk. Illinois Republican leader Jack Roeser says there is a 'solid rumor that Kirk is a homosexual.' Roeser suggests that Kirk is part of a Republican Party homosexual club."
Roeser admitted to making such comments on a radio show, "but they are rumors." And Roeser noted that he doesn't condone anyone talking about their sexuality in public, being a heterosexual bragging about his conquests or a homosexual marching in a gay pride parade. Both are "just plain nuts. Such things should be kept private."

The Champion News Web site does hold a "Kick Mark Kirk to the Curb" section, where readers can "learn more about this 'Republican' only a Democrat could love," and discusses Kirk's "pro abortion, pro homosexual, pro cap and trade, pro spending" views.
Roeser said his attorney had called a radio station about pulling Martin's spot, which it cannot legally do. Chicago's WBBM radio, one of the stations airing the ad, said federal law requires it to provide candidates with reasonable access and run political ads "without censoring them."
Roeser said his attorney also is looking to see if he can stop Martin from using Roeser in the ad without his permission.

As a result of the ad, which began to run after Christmas, the Republican Party already has said it no longer would consider Andy Martin a legitimate candidate.
"His statements are consistent with his history of bizarre behavior and often-times hate-filled speech, which has no place in the Illinois Republican Party," said GOP chairman Pat Brady.
Last week, Kirk campaign manager Eric Elk issued a statement saying the ad "is degrading to the political process. The people of Illinois deserve better." Elk said the ad's allegation that Kirk is gay is not true.
Martin, formerly Anthony Martin-Trigona, has a long record of running unsuccessfully for public office, making unsubstantiated allegations and suing officials and journalists he dislikes. The federal courts have sanctioned him for repeatedly filing frivolous lawsuits.

Andy Martin Attacks Gay Community Again!

Independent Senate Candidate Andy Martin Continues His Gay Bashing Tone of Voice!

In Martin's latest blog titled: "U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin exposes media lies and corruption in Chicago", Martin removes any doubt about his view on the gay community with more of his gay bashing statements. 


After Martin was rightfully blasted by the public and media for his attack ad on December 28, 2009 accusing senate candidate Mark Kirk for being a closet homosexual, he released a statement which read:


 “Let me be clear. Homosexuality is not the issue.
Every person is entitled to privacy, and everyone is
entitled to equal protection of the laws..."



Martin now releases his latest blog with statements like:


"The homosexual scandal in Republican Party politics is just in its early stages."


"Martin says that local media used a crooked local political leader who supports gay bars and Mark Kirk to attack Martin’s campaign, without telling viewers/listeners/readers the truth."

 Well let's look at his last statement.  Does he have a problem with people who support gay bars?  Is there really such a thing as a homosexual scandal?  If so, does Martin believe in a heterosexual scandal?  In my opinion, these are little trigger statements which lead me to believe Martin is attacking the gay community just as he has previously attacked the Jewish community.


Martin continues his blog by saying:


"Pat Brady is a Mark Kirk stooge, and a supporter of holding Republican (John McCain) events in gay bars.  The advertisement which prompted Mr. Brady to come forward and oppose my campaign concerned Mark Kirk's homosexual issues."

"During the 2008 campaign Mr. Brady, as “John McCain leader for Illinois,” sponsored a “bar event” in “Boystown,” the homosexual neighborhood in Chicago. Would viewers/listeners/readers have liked to know Brady had a history of sponsoring homosexual activity in the Republican Party? You be the judge:"

Wow!  If it looks like a rat and it smells like a rat is it not a rat?



Now here's the "Bombshell" as Andy Martin would say:

"...vote no to continuing corruption of the Illinois Republican Party
by former Speaker Dennis Hastert’s homosexual operatives."

"If you want to fight political and moral corruption in Washington,- please vote for me."

 He ends his blog with this:

"MONDAY: Who is John McGovern and what is his connection
to Mark Kirk and the “homosexual GOP culture…in Illinois.”

I guess we will all have to tune in on Monday, January 4, 2010 to see how Martin will blast more holes into the bottom of his already sinking ship.

I do have to side track here and point out a statement Martin made in his blog.  He says:

"Not many real Republicans would support a candidate backed
by a crooked, violent psychopath like Pat Brady."

Crooked, Violent Psychopath.   These are words normally reserved for those describing Martin himself.  Hmmm!

New York Times James Warren Calls Andy Martin "Lightweight"

http://andymartin-conspiracytheory.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-york-times-james-warren-calls-andy.html


...thanks to zealots on its right flank and Andy Martin, a bomb-throwing lightweight.

Mr. Martin is the vessel of the venom. He is a frequent candidate with a history of stridently anti-Jewish comments. As a law school graduate named Anthony Martin-Trigona, he was rejected for entry to the Illinois bar due to a psychiatric finding of a “moderately severe character defect manifested by well-documented ideation with a paranoid flavor and a grandiose character.”

Illinois Republican Party Disavows Statements Made by Mr. Andy Martin

http://andymartin-conspiracytheory.blogspot.com/

IL GOP Chairman Statement Regarding Andy Martin Accusations
12/28/2009

"The Illinois Republican Party disavows the statements made today by Mr. Andrew Martin in his statewide radio advertisements. His statements today are consistent with his history of bizarre behavior and often times hate-filled speech which has no place in the Illinois Republican Party. Mr. Martin will no longer be recognized as a legitimate Republican Candidate by the Illinois Republican Party."

Pat Brady, Illinois Republican Party Chairman

________________________________________

In addition, it has been brought to our attention that Mr. Martin’s sources are now denying any such statements or allegations.

According to Raymond True, a leader of the Republican Party in Lake County:

"Mr. Martin did not contact me in any way before making his announcement. The comments attributed to me are completely false. I request through the media that Andy Martin cease and desist from making any additional statements that are incorrectly attributed to me."

John Biver of Champion News on Andy Martin

http://andymartin-conspiracytheory.blogspot.com/

An important ‘fyi' for voters regarding perennial candidate Andy Martin
Posted: November 12, 2009



By John Biver

Martin had been described by state psychiatrists as having a "moderately severe character defect manifested by well-documented ideation with a paranoid flavor and a grandiose character."



-- From the Wikipedia entry on Andy Martin

I read this in Dave Diersen's email this morning:

"Is Champion News' John Biver exaggerating Patrick Hughes' campaign cash?"

Along with it was a link to a website by perennial candidate Andy Martin.



I did speak with downstate radio talk show host Scott Doody the other day but I said no such thing. I have never spoken to Pat Hughes or any members of his campaign team about how much money he was raising or how much he planned on raising.



To read more about Andy Martin for the purpose of understanding how he processes information, I'd refer readers to this Wikipedia entry:

Andy Martin (U.S. politician)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Martin_(U.S._politician)

One of the quintessential Martin quotes is this one from the New York Times:

In another motion, filed in 1983, Mr. Martin wrote, "I am able to understand how the Holocaust took place, and with every passing day feel less and less sorry that it did."

Enough said.



For entertainment purposes only, click here and here to watch videos of Andy Martin in action.



Post Script: This afternoon I had another good conversation with Scott Doody, who reiterated what I already knew - poor Andy Martin got it wrong.





John Biver is the Editor of Champion News.

United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit Decision Against Andy Martin

The Following Is A Decision Reached By The United States Court Of Appeals, Second Circuit In New York With Reference To Andy Martin's Frivolous Lawsuits.

795 F.2d 9
In re Anthony R. MARTIN-TRIGONA.

Nos. 85-5023, 85-5024, 85-5025, 86-5010, 86-5003, 86-5009,
86-7091, 85-5063, 85-5077, 86-5004, 86-5007,
86-5015, 86-5018, 86-5022, 86-5023,
86-8015, 86- 5024, 86-5025,
86-5026, 86-5017, 86-5014.

United States Court of Appeals,
Second Circuit.

Submitted Jan. 16, 1986, and April 16, 1986.
Decided July 9, 1986.

Anthony R. Martin-Trigona, pro se.

Before MANSFIELD, PIERCE and WINTER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

Before us are various motions and petitions submitted by Anthony R. Martin-Trigona, pro se, seeking, inter alia, leave to appeal various orders entered in his bankruptcy proceeding, reinstatement of appeals that have been dismissed, or other relief. We generally dispose of such motions by unpublished order, but on this occasion we issue a published opinion discussing his conduct and the consequences thereof in the future.

2

Martin-Trigona's propensity for generally meritless, usually vexatious and often scurrilous resort to legal processes has been documented in our prior decisions. See, e.g., In re Martin-Trigona, 737 F.2d 1254, 1256-57 & Appendix C (2d Cir.1984), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 106 S.Ct. 807, 88 L.Ed.2d 782 (1986). In June, 1984, we affirmed the power of the district court to enjoin him from bringing a variety of actions without leave of court and also issued an injunction governing appeals to this court.1 Id. at 1264. Under the latter injunction, Martin-Trigona must move for leave to take an appeal within twenty days of the notice of appeal, and must indicate the grounds supporting his motion. Id. If a motion for leave is not filed within twenty days of the notice, the appeal is dismissed. Id. Leave to appeal is granted if we conclude that Martin-Trigona has standing to appeal, that this court has jurisdiction over the appeal, and that the appeal has colorable merit. These restrictions were entered pursuant to our inherent power to protect our jurisdiction from conduct that threatens our ability to carry out Article III functions. Id. at 1261-62.

3

The injunction has been effective in preventing Martin-Trigona from using legal processes to harass "anyone who so much as crosses his path in the federal courts." Id. at 1263. However, it has been only partially effective in preventing Martin-Trigona from overburdening this court with frivolous filings and from diverting scarce judicial resources away from litigants with good faith federal claims. Since June 18, 1984, the date of our opinion concerning the injunction, Martin-Trigona has filed over 100 appeals or petitions for appellate relief in this court. In 15 cases no leave of court was required. In 67 cases in which leave of court was required, 35 were dismissed for failure to seek leave, leave was denied in 26, and leave was granted in 6. Twenty-one matters in which leave of court is required are disposed of by this opinion.

4

The burden imposed by Martin-Trigona on this court is clear. His submissions are so multitudinous and complex that the clerk's office must assign administrative responsibility for Martin-Trigona's filings to one person. No other litigant in this court requires such special consideration. In addition, motions law clerks must analyze each of his motions. This is no easy task. Martin-Trigona's motions rarely cite relevant legal authority or state the facts clearly or directly. Further, in his motions for leave to appeal, he often attaches only the first page of the district court order appealed from. This failure to submit adequate supporting papers further increases the burden on the court. The hours spent by the staff of this court on Martin-Trigona filings are roughly the equivalent of the work of one full-time employee. Even so, this does not include the considerable time spent by the judges and their staffs after the matters are referred to them.

5

The motions pending before us illustrate the frivolous nature of typical Martin-Trigona submissions. For instance, in Docket No. 86-5004 Martin-Trigona seeks leave to appeal from an order awarding attorney's fees to the bankruptcy estate in connection with an action by the trustee to clear title to certain property in the estate. In his motion for leave, Martin-Trigona characterizes the award as one made directly to the attorney for the bankruptcy trustee, and claims that such an award cannot be made without notice to all creditors, as required by 11 U.S.C. Sec. 330 (Supp. II 1984). The record reveals, however, that the fees were awarded not to the attorney, but to the estate--the exact relief Martin-Trigona has requested. The appeal for which leave is sought is thus utterly frivolous. We deny the motion for leave to appeal.

6

Similarly, in Docket No. 86-5009 Martin-Trigona seeks leave to appeal the district court's denial of his motion requesting removal of the bankruptcy trustee for fraudulent misrepresentations to the court, and requesting that substantial sanctions be levied against both the trustee and his attorney. The essence of Martin-Trigona's claim, set forth in papers captioned "Motion for Leave to Appeal Bizarre Order," is that the trustee and his attorney misrepresented the fact that an initial meeting of creditors had taken place on December 13, 1982. Martin-Trigona claims he had no notice of this meeting, and submitted with the motion a recent letter from the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court stating that a meeting scheduled for that date actually never took place. The record reveals, however, that creditors did not attend a scheduled meeting because Martin-Trigona had announced beforehand that he would not attend. The inconsistency between the trustee's position and the Bankruptcy Clerk's position is whether one characterizes the events by saying "No meeting was held," or by saying "A meeting was held but no one came." Martin-Trigona himself is the only party guilty of misrepresentations to the court--his claim that he had no notice of the December 13, 1982 meeting is contradicted by a letter the trustee has submitted as part of his opposition papers to the motion before us. In that letter, dated November 30, 1982 and addressed to the Bankruptcy Judge, Martin-Trigona acknowledges receipt of notice of the December meeting and states his intention not to attend. Exhibit A, Opposition to "Motion for Leave to Appeal Bizarre Order." The motion for leave to appeal in No. 86-5009 is thus also utterly frivolous and is denied.

7

The other motions, Docket Nos. 85-5023, 85-5024, 85-5025, 86-5010, 86-5003, 86-7091, 85-5063, 85-5077, 86-5007, 86-5015, 86-5018, 86-5022, 86-5023, 86-8015, 86-5024, 86-5025, 86-5026, 86-5017, 86-5014, are also frivolous and are denied.

8

Because our injunction has not prevented Martin-Trigona from burdening this court with frivolous proceedings, we believe it necessary once again to exercise our inherent power to protect our jurisdiction from such vexatious conduct. See In re Martin-Trigona, 737 F.2d at 1261. Rule 38, Fed.R.App.P. and Rule 11, Fed.R.Civ.P. authorize the assessment of damages in favor of an opposing party for the filing of frivolous appeals or pleadings. As a consequence of the injunction, virtually all of Martin-Trigona's frivolous motions are unopposed before us, and thus these rules may not apply. However, our power to defend our ability to carry out our constitutional functions in no way depends upon the rights of private parties to relief. 737 F.2d at 1261. No litigant has the right to monopolize judicial resources and thus indirectly to obstruct other litigants asserting good faith claims. Absent the power to deter tactics like those employed by Martin-Trigona, a small number of litigants could paralyze this court. Our role here is thus not that of a dispute settler but that of an independent branch of government protecting its jurisdiction. Id. at 1261.

9

In future cases, therefore, we will impose monetary sanctions on Martin-Trigona if he files frivolous papers or proceedings. Once such a sanction is levied, the clerk shall accept no further papers from Martin-Trigona, who does not have in forma pauperis status in this court, until that monetary obligation is satisfied. See, e.g., Johl v. Johl, 788 F.2d 75 (2d Cir.1986) (per curiam); Schiff v. Simon & Schuster, Inc., 766 F.2d 61, 62 (2d Cir.1985) (per curiam). This is the only way to make the sanction effective and protect the processes of this court from abuse. Schiff, 766 F.2d at 62.

10

Martin-Trigona has pointed out that the injunction in this court has never been made permanent. We now order that this be done.

11

Motions denied. Permanent injunction is to be entered.

12

It is so Ordered.

Why Is Andy Martin Useless?

Well, basically he does not work, he's a bigot who thinks that the white man is the only man who should exist and he is mentally unstable. He honestly believes he could win as senator of Illinois in 2010. His baggage leads us all to a different conclusion.

He constantly tries...yes TRIES to sue people or businesses with no success. He has been found guilty on several occassions of various law violations against others. One example is the following videos. Andy Martin Goes To Jail and Andy Martin Attacks News Crew.

Look at his latest campaign ad Andy Martin Ad.

We the people will never put a nut in office like Andy Martin.

Andy Martin's Dirty Tricks. DO NOT VOTE FOR HIM IN 2010

The dirty tricks are really being played by Andy Martin. Look at his record. Jail time, lies (lots of them), disconnect with reality, frivolous lawsuits, ANTI-Semitic statements and physical violence against others. Just look at these videos.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFnuhaU458Y

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaxIoQljADw



Martin has been declared to have mental issues making him not worthy of being admitted to the Illinois bar association. he wasn't admitted but should be committed.

He is a danger to society and himself. It's a matter of time before he really hurts someone or possibly kills someone based on his mental state.

Another Frivolous Lawsuit by Andy Martin.

In an Illinois lawsuit submitted in September 2009, Martin details his accusations against Maryland residents and authorities.

His conspiracy theory of Obama Operatives runs deep into his mind with this one. Please keep in mind that this man is running for a senate seat in Illinois. The lawsuit below reads exactly as he submitted it to the courts.

COMPLAINT

Introduction

The 1972 Watergate Conspiracy began as a “third-rate burglary,” and culminated in a national scandal exposed by the Washington Post. This lawsuit arises out of a mini-Watergate scandal, in which a small—time huckster and extortionist, Scott Shirley, has combined with Plaintiff’s political opposition to harass Plaintiff’s professional and political activity using Maryland judges as adjuncts to the criminal conspiracy. At this time, the full dimensions and all of the identities of the co-conspirators are unknown. In due course, they will be exposed. This time, rather than exposing the conspiracy, the Washington Post appears to be part of the political machinations to violate the law.
COUNT ONE

[OWNERSHIP CLAIM]

1. Jurisdiction and venue
a. This court has general common law jurisdiction of the controversy.
b. Substantially all of the operative activity of the defendants is targeted at and “purposefully directed” against the Plaintiff in Illinois. Therefore, this Court has personal jurisdiction.
2. The parties
a. Plaintiff Andy Martin (“Plaintiff”) is a candidate for United States Senator. He is a world-respected Internet publisher and columnist, see e.g. ContrarianCommentary.com. Martin is Illinois’ most durable and independent corruption fighter (see http://www.andymartin.com/) and has helped send corrupt politicians and judges to jail.
b. Defendant Washington Post Company and its employee Daniel Morse are involved in some fashion with defendant Scott Shirley, as well as possibly other Kirk/Obama-related defendants, in a civil conspiracy directed at Plaintiff in Illinois.
c. Defendant Scott Shirley, d/b/a ADR Productions, is involved in both a civil and criminal conspiracy to harass and obstruct Plaintiff’s professional and political activity, as set forth in this Complaint.
d. Google, Inc. is the owner of YouTube and has been broadcasting Shirley's bogus attack ad, using Plaintiff’s pirated intellectual property on the Internet.
e. John Gilchrist, a/k/a John Borlaza, is a person whose full role in the matters sub judice is still not clear.
f. Montgomery County, Maryland is a defendant based on the failure of the county to protect Plaintiff’s right to file a consumer complaint without fear of harassment from the corrupt governmental structure of the county.
g. John J. McCarthy is the State Attorney of Montgomery County, and has refused to investigate the violations of Plaintiff’s rights by Shirley and others.
h. John Doe agent of Mark Kirk, and/or Barack Hussein Obama, is a person or persons unknown whose identity will be revealed during the course of this lawsuit.
i. William G. Simmons, Eugene Wolfe and Cheryl McCally are “chumbolone” members of the district court in Montgomery County who have been aiding and abetting Shirley in his extortion and harassment scheme against the Plaintiff.
3. Factual allegations
a. The Washington Conference involving Barack Obama
A. Plaintiff organized an April 3-4, 2009 Washington, DC conference concerning Barack Obama and his missing birth certificate [see www.NationalConferenceonObama.blogspot.com].
B. At some point Plaintiff was contacted by defendant John Gilchrist/John Borlaza (hereinafter “Gilchrist/Borlaza”) who asked if Plaintiff had made arrangements to tape his conference.
C. Gilchrist/Borlaza offered to pay to tape Plaintiff’s conference. While Plaintiff does not remember all of the details of the contacts with Gilchrist/Borlaza, it was agreed between Plaintiff and Gilchrist/Borlaza that Gilchrist/Borlaza would find someone to tape Plaintiff's conference and assume the cost of said taping, but that the conference and the product of the conference belonged to Plaintiff.
D. At no time did Gilchrist/Borlaza claim to own either Plaintiff’s intellectual property (the conference) or the evidence of that property (the tapes).
E. Gilchrist/Borlaza apparently hired defendant Scott Shirley (“Shirley”) to tape the conference. Plaintiff met Shirley at the Capital Hilton in Washington, DC and Shirley could not have been more cordial and cooperative.
F. After the conference ended, and while final editing was being discussed, Shirley prepared a “trailer” or prevue from Plaintiff's copyrighted material. In fact, as set forth in Exhibit A, Plaintiff said the following to Shirley: “Could you please add the copyright sign and notice copyright by Andy Martin 2009 on the trailer...John and I agreed that I would hold the copyright rights to the material. The same notice should go on any and all of the segments we post on the net.” (Exhibit A).
G. Shirley replied “Andy, Here’s the link for the video with changes (Donate to…and © copyright…).(Exhibit A).
H. The ownership of the copyright for Plaintiff’s materials is not in dispute.
b. The Conference editing process and new work
A. Shirley’s “trailer,” which he is now misusing in violation of his contractual responsibilities, was an excellent piece of work.
B. Plaintiff spoke with Shirley on the phone about editing a Hawai’i film that he was producing in May, and Shirley unhesitatingly agreed. Plaintiff had no reason to suspect Shirley was a crook, crackpot or double agent for Kirk/Obama.
C. Gilchrist/Borlaza asked Plaintiff to edit the Conference tapes and Shirley sent Plaintiff the approximately two hours of tapes to edit. Plaintiff did so and returned his copies to Shirley.
D. On May 15th, Plaintiff e-mailed Shirley and said “I have two tapes from Honolulu…” (Exhibit B)
E. Shirley replied “You may send the tapes however you see fit…I will look for them. I hope your trip was a successful one. (Exhibit B, 2 pages).
F. On May 20, 2009 Plaintiff e-mailed Shirley(Exhibit C, 2 pages) “Hi Scott—Is it possible you can make a copy and send the [Hawai’i] originals back to me…Re: April, Washington, DC conference—do you have a rough date when you can finish editing?...I want to give you all the time you need to do a good creative job…”
G. Shirley replied (Exhibit C), “I will make copies as soon as my computer is freed up…The first project should be done next week if everything goes well. I’m sorry for the delay…I have no problem with the added work…With regards to the Hawai’i project...”
H. Shirley and Plaintiff had previously spoken and Plaintiff had agreed to bear any cost overruns.
I. In July, 2009, Shirley said the “first project” was nearly completed and would be ready “next week.”
J. Shirley never completed any project, never made any copies and never rendered any bill to Plaintiff.
K. Plaintiff became increasingly concerned, and eventually increasingly suspicious, as Shirley became unreachable, refusing to respond to phone calls or e-mails.
c. Scott Shirley begins acting bizarrely
A. At no time was Plaintiff ever in the State of Maryland, and the only communication Plaintiff had with Shirley related to his non-performance of a contract and Plaintiff’s desire to seek the return of his property.
B. When Shirley did not return phone calls or respond to e-mails concerning the missing tapes, Plaintiff eventually complained to Montgomery County Maryland (Exhibit D) and the Greater Washington Better Business Bureau (“BBB”)(Exhibit E).
C. Shirley responded to Plaintiff’s complaints with a bizarre and delusional letter, Exhibit F, and the filing of a bogus “peace bond” claim predicated on Plaintiff’s BBB/Montgomery County consumer complaints.
d. Maryland judges enter the picture
A. No reasonable person could listen to Shirley’s claims without realizing that he was seeking to create a controversy to escape his contractual obligations and to resell Plaintiff’s property for a higher price to corrupt representatives of Mark Kirk and/or Barack Hussein Obama.
B. Shirley’s own “complaint” to the defendants admitted he was responding to Plaintiff’s complaint to the BBB (Exhibit E).
C. In his detailed multiple responses to the BBB Shirley never made any claim that he had ever been threatened in any way by Plaintiff.
D. Shirley knew what he was doing when he went shopping for judges in the highly partisan Democratic Party-dominated Maryland judiciary.
E. The defendants then began demanding that Plaintiff suspend his campaign for the U. S. Senate, fly to Washington and attend a kangaroo count session involving accusations by someone whose claims were facially delusional, and appear before one of the corrupt defendants (McCally). McCally, Wolfe and Simmons have since played musical chairs with the controversy.
F. Shirley, through his new sponsors and behind-the-scene political influence from Democrats, was using Maryland’s Democratic judges to politically harass Plaintiff and to attempt to interrupt his Senate campaign with fraudulent proceedings in the Maryland courts.
e. The Washington Post enters the fray
A. On August 25, 2009 Plaintiff received a call from defendant Dan Morse (“Morse”), a Washington Post employee in Rockville, Maryland. While Plaintiff does not recollect Morse’s original call completely, he remembers Morse suggesting Morse had been in the courthouse and stumbled over Plaintiff’s case. Morse gave no indication he had interviewed Shirley, received documents from him or done any research involving Plaintiff.
B. Not knowing that Morse and Shirley had been conspiring by e-mail and otherwise (presumably in person), Plaintiff initially furnished Morse with approximately 90 pages of documents.
C. Morse then recorded a phone call with Plaintiff which ran for over an hour.
D. Rather than being interested in Shirley’s machinations, Morse was interested in defendant Brosemer, whom Morse claimed had told Morse that Plaintiff attacked him (Brosemer). Brosemer’s claim was utterly fictitious, and part of the aftermath of Brosemer’s firing by Scripps-Howard Broadcasting after he attacked Plaintiff at WPTV-TV 13 years ago.
E. Brosemer’s claims to Morse were false and defamatory.
F. After Plaintiff complained to Morse’s editors, Morse called Plaintiff a third time; Morse said he had initially received an e-mail from Shirley a week earlier, as well as some of the same documents that Plaintiff later faxed in good faith.
G. Throughout the lengthy taped conversation(s), Morse was obsessed with peripheral events in Plaintiff’s life going back almost 40, 35 and 25 years, none of which bore the remotest relationship to Shirley’s conspiratorial activity. There was no way Morse’s questions would have fitted in any “news hole” of the Washington Post allocated to the Maryland suburbs.
H. Either knowingly or unknowingly, wittingly or unwittingly, Morse was acting in concert and conspiracy with Shirley, and acting in furtherance of the Kirk/Obama scheme to politically harass Plaintiff’s campaign for the U. S. Senate.
I. Given the opportunity to deny or clarify or explain Morse’s conspiratorial, fraudulent and bizarre “research” spanning decades in Plaintiff’s life, the Washington Post has remained mute and through silence essentially admitted that Morse was acting as a political saboteur and not as a bona fide reporter for the Post.
f. The true purpose of Shirley’s conspiracy is revealed

A. Shortly after coconspirator William Simmons entered yet another bogus order in furtherance of the civil rights conspiracy, Shirley’s missing trailer surfaced on the Internet as an attack video against Plaintiff’s campaign for the U. S. Senate:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLq0rP4QXWE.
B. Shirley used Plaintiff’s property, which Shirley and his coconspirators had stolen from Plaintiff, to attack Plaintiff’s U. S. Senate candidacy.
C. Shirley’s farce in Montgomery County courts had been and continues to be a charade to use Maryland judges as part of Shirley’s political conspiracy to harass and attack plaintiff, initially with bogus legal proceedings and, when that approach failed, with attack ads which were based on the theft and misuse of Plaintiff’s intellectual property.
D. Shirley, who had initially appeared to be an honest businessman performing a helpful service for Plaintiff’s conference, has completed the transformation to crook and political smear artist.
E. Shirley refuses to return Plaintiff’s tapes while continuing to misuse them himself.
F. It is not yet clear with whom Shirley is acting in concert, but his associations will be revealed in due course. Most likely, Shirley has sold himself to agents of defendant Mark Kirk or Barack Hussein Obama, acting individually or in conjunction with Kirk who is Obama’s “favorite Republican.”
G. Gilchrist/Borlaza has disappeared from the scene and may himself have been an Obama operative.
4. Legal claim
a. Shirley is holding Plaintiff’s original tapes and refuses to return them to Plaintiff.
b. On information and belief, no one else claims any copyright or ownership of the tapes.
c. Despite the fact that Shirley makes no claim to ownership of Plaintiff’s tapes, and appears to be a crooked businessman, Shirley has been able to file his perjurious claims with Maryland authorities and enlist the notoriously compromised Maryland judiciary in his Democratic Party/Kirk/Obama dirty tricks campaign against Plaintiff.
d. Plaintiff seeks an order directing Shirley and anyone else with possession of any of Plaintiff’s tapes or copies thereof, which includes the third parties to whom Shirley has given the harassment material, to return the tapes to Plaintiff.
5. Demand for judgment
a. Plaintiff seeks money damages as the Court or a jury may impose, as follows:
A. Money damages from Shirley in the amount of $25,000;
B. Money damages from Brosemer in the amount of $25,000, as well as a finding that Brosemer’s claims were defamatory and without any basis in fact.
b. Plaintiff seeks any and all declaratory and equitable relief to which he may be entitled from all of the defendants, jointly and severally, known and currently unknown (“John Doe agent of Mark Kirk and/or Barack Hussein Obama”).
COUNT TWO
[§§ 1983-1985 CIVIL RIGHTS CONSPIRACY]
1-3. Plaintiff repeats and realleges ¶¶ 1-3 of Count One and further pleads:
4. Legal claim
a. Federal law protects the right of persons to seek public office, see e.g. 18 U.S.C. § 245 (b)(1)(A).
b. Shirley, who appears to have begun his relationship with Plaintiff acting as an honest local businessman, has morphed into a political crook who is working to corrupt the local judiciary in Maryland and Google, Inc. (YouTube), all as part of someone’s plans to disrupt Plaintiff’s campaign for the U. S. Senate. The dirty tricksters are most likely Kirk’s and/or Obama’s supporters.
c. The actions of the defendants constitute a classic civil rights conspiracy, using bogus legal proceedings and other activity to corrupt local Democratic Party officials in order to harass a federal candidate of the Republican Party, all “under color of” state law.
5. Demand for judgment
Plaintiff seeks any and all relief to which he may be entitled under Count One, not to exceed $70,000 in aggregate money damages.
COUNT THREE
[CONVERSION]
1-3. Plaintiff repeats and realleges ¶¶ 1-3 of Count One and further pleads:
4. Legal claim
a. Shirley has converted Plaintiff’s intellectual property and directly or indirectly through agents is using Plaintiff’s property to attack Plaintiff on the Internet:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLq0rP4QXWE.
b. Shirley’s conduct and that of his coconspirators constitutes the common law tort of conversion.
5. Demand for Judgment
Plaintiff seeks declaratory and injunctive relief pursuant to the Illinois common law of conversion, as well as the relief in Count One not to exceed $70,000 in aggregate money damages.
COUNT FOUR
[PRIMA FACIE TORT]
1-3. Plaintiff repeats and realleges ¶¶ 1-3 of Count One and further pleads:
4. Legal claim
a. Illinois courts have adopted the concept of prima facie tort, see Pendleton v. Time, Inc., 339 Ill.App. 188, 89 N.E.2d 435 (Ill.App. 1st Dist. 1949) as originally recognized in Advance Music v. American Tobacco, 183 Misc. 855, 51 N.Y.S. 692, aff’d 296 N.Y. 79, 70 N.E.2d 401 (N.Y.).
b. The defendants’ ongoing activity is a classic case of prima face tort, because their activity represents the quintessential type of political dirty tricks using judges and corrupt public officials that are universally condemned by American society.
5. Demand for Judgment
a. Plaintiff seeks the same relief as sought in Count One.
COUNT FIVE
[BREACH OF CONTRACT/THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY]
1-3. Plaintiff repeats and realleges ¶¶ 1-3 of Count One and further pleads:
4. Legal claim
a. Throughout the controversy which Shirley has manufactured, Shirley has claimed he only had a “contract” with Gilchrist/Borlaza.
b. In point of fact, District of Columbia law follows traditional third-party beneficiary contract law, Western Union v. Massman Construction, 402 A.2d 1275, 1277 (Dc App. 1979).
c. Although Gilchrest/Borlaza was paying for the work, he did not claim any interest in either the intellectual property or the evidence of the intellectual property (the tapes) that was being created by the Plaintiff.
d. Shirley has constantly cooked up imaginary defenses having no basis in law to frustrate Plaintiff’s contractual ownership rights in the original tapes, all in violation of the three-party contract agreed to between the parties.
e. Plaintiff has a right as a beneficiary to seek possession of his tapes.
5. Demand for Judgment
a. Plaintiff seeks the same relief as sought in Count One.

Andy Martin In Contempt of Peace Order 2009?

Is it possible that Andy Martin has violated the Maryland peace order issued against him on August 24, 2009?

Sources tell us that on September 16, 2009, Martin contacted the "Petitioner" of the peace order requesting work from the petitioner. Terms of the peace order require Martin to have no contact "In person, by telephone, in writing, or by any other means." Under those terms, Martin is in contempt of the peace order.

Now, the real question seems to be, is there a willingness of the courts to expedite Martin to Maryland for such a violation? The answer may be yes. It seems Martin has filed suite against three judges in that court and the states attorney for Montgomery County. He claims they are conspiring with Obama operatives against his 2010 Illinois senate campaign by originally ordering a final peace order against him in the first place (you can view Martin's suite at http://andyforussenator.blogspot.com/2009/09/andy-martins-lawsuit-against-washington.html). Would they like to meet the man who claims they are involved in some sort of Obama scheme against him? Maybe.

The bottom line seems to be this; Martin loves to file frivolous lawsuits against anything that moves. This time, it seems a legitimate court order was brought against him and he is now in violation of that order. He should be held accountable for his actions and brought before the court to answer to his actions. Will he learn his lesson? Probably not.
