COMES NOW Paul Andrew Mitchell, Plaintiff in the above entitled case, Citizen of California, Private Attorney General and Federal Witness, to file this, His NOTICE OF REFUSAL FOR CAUSE AND OF SIGNATURE WITHDRAWAL, BY AFFIDAVIT, and to serve same on all interested Party(s).
CAUSES
FOR REFUSING MAGISTRATE’S ORDER
APPROVING STIPULATION AS FILED
After receiving lawful NOTICES AND DEMANDS from Plaintiff, both Mr. Benjamin L. Webster and Mr. Wesley J. Ehlers have failed to produce any certified copy(s) of the certificates of oath that are required to be indorsed upon their licenses to practice law in the State of California.
Both have also failed to exhibit valid licenses to practice law in the State of California.
Their failures to do so constitute several violations of Section 6067 of the California Business and Professions. See also 4 U.S.C. 101. All officers of this Court are required by 4 U.S.C. 101 to take an oath solemnly swearing that they will support the Constitution of the United States.
Their failure to exhibit the requisite credentials has resulted in a fraud upon this Court, and upon Plaintiff. Plaintiff was misled by the alleged STIPULATION to believe that both gentlemen had the requisite credentials, when Plaintiff has now established that they do not.
Accordingly, neither Mr. Webster nor Mr. Ehlers can exercise any power(s) of attorney to represent the named Defendants itemized in the alleged STIPULATION in question, dated October 3, 2001 A.D.
Moreover, this honorable Court is the constitutional Article III District Court of the United States (“DCUS”). This is not the legislative Article IV United States District Court (“USDC”). See Balzac v. Porto Rico, 258 U.S. 298 (1922), and Mookini v. U.S., 303 U.S. 201 (1938), for example. The STIPULATION in question was lodged in the wrong court.
United States magistrates are appointed to serve on the USDC only. See 28 U.S.C. 631. United States magistrates are not appointed to serve on the DCUS. There is no mention whatsoever of the DCUS anywhere in section 631.
Full-term magistrates are appointed for a term of eight years only; part-time magistrates are appointed for a term of four years only. As such, United States magistrates do not enjoy the life tenure enjoyed by Article III judges. See Article III, Section 1.
United States magistrates are also subject to the Public Salary Tax Act which requires them to pay federal income taxes on their compensation. As such, the Compensation for their Services is being diminished in violation of Article III, Section 1. See Evans v. Gore, 253 U.S. 245 (1920); Lord v. Kelley, 240 F.Supp. 167, 169 (1965).
Accordingly, for all the lawful causes stated above, Plaintiff hereby refuses the ORDER by U.S. Magistrate Drozd entered on October 26, 2001 A.D., and Plaintiff withdraws His signature from the STIPULATION signed by Wesley C.J. Ehlers on October 2, 2001 A.D. and by Plaintiff on October 3, 2001 A.D.
Finally, Plaintiff now believes that all the above reasons constitute sufficient probable cause to conclude that all pleadings filed to date by Messrs. Webster and Ehlers should be stricken and, consequently, that certain named Defendants itemized in the alleged STIPULATION have defaulted by failing to answer timely. See attached WAIVERS OF SERVICE OF SUMMONS.
INCORPORATION OF
EVIDENTIARY DOCUMENTS
In support of Plaintiff’s testimony supra that Messrs. Webster and Ehlers have failed to exhibit the requisite credentials, Plaintiff hereby incorporates by reference all attached documents, as if set forth fully herein.
I, Paul Andrew Mitchell, Sui Juris, Plaintiff in the above entitled action, hereby verify under penalty of perjury, under the laws of the United States of America, without the “United States” (federal government), that the above statement of facts and laws is true and correct, according to the best of My current information, knowledge, and belief, so help me God, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1746(1).
Dated: November 3, 2001 A.D.
Signed: /s/ Paul Andrew Mitchell
