COME NOW  the People of the United States of America (hereinafter

"Petitioners"), ex  relatione Paul  Andrew, Mitchell, B.A., M.S.,

Citizen of  Arizona state,  federal witness  and Counselor at Law

(hereinafter "Relator"),  to petition  this honorable Court for a

warrant of  removal, pursuant  to the authorities cited supra, of

Case Number  2721 from MONTANA SIXTEENTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT,

GARFIELD COUNTY,  into  this  honorable  Court,  on  the  federal

Restraining Order ("TRO") and other injunctive relief;


Notice and Verified Petition for Warrant of Removal:  Page 1 of 6


     (2)  the  Relator's  Freedom  of  Information  Act  ("FOIA")

request previously  submitted for the official credentials of all

633 alleged federal agents who rotated in and out of the "Freeman

Standoff" in Jordan, Garfield county, Montana state;  and

     (3)  the other  federal  questions  identified  since  then,

including but  not limited  to the  several related federal cases

whose litigants  are now desirous of either joining, removing to,

and/or formally intervening in, the instant case because of Their

own FOIA  requests, Their  challenges to the constitutionality of

the  Jury   Selection  and   Service  Act,  and  because  of  the

implications  of   those  challenges  for  the  apportionment  of

congressional districts.   See voter registration affidavits;  28

U.S.C. 1861  thru 1865;   and  28  U.S.C.  2284,  Historical  and

Statutory Notes.

     Petitioners hereby provide formal Notice of the above to all

interested parties.

     Most  notable  among  the  related  federal  cases  are  the

prominent cases  entitled U.S.A.  [sic]  v.  Schweitzer  et  al.,

United States  District  Court,  District  of  Montana,  Billings

Division, Case Numbers to wit:

          CR 95-117-BLG-JMB        CR 96- 45-BLG-JMB
          CR 95- 51-BLG-JMB        CR 96- 41-BLG-JMB
          CR 96- 47-BLG-JMB        CR 96- 32-BLG-JMB
          CR 96- 46-BLG-JMB

     See "ORDER"  of "JAMES  M. BURNS"  dated September 30, 1996,

for a  consolidated list  of "Defendants"  [sic] itemized  in the

cases listed supra.

     The Montana  state district court's official record contains

a Request  for Judicial  Notice  of  the  original  FOIA  request

previously submitted  by Relator  to the  United States  Attorney

General for  certified copies  of  the  credentials  of  all  633

alleged federal agents involved in the Freeman Standoff.


Notice and Verified Petition for Warrant of Removal:  Page 2 of 6


     Relator has  subsequently submitted additional FOIA requests

to the  United States  Department of  Justice and  to the federal

Judiciary, on matters which go to related federal questions, such

as federal  powers of  attorney, standing  to  sue,  and  federal

criminal jurisdiction within the several states of the Union.

     Petitioners  are   now  proceeding   on  the  basis  of  the

presumption that  the Montana  state court  record will  be  made

available to  this honorable  Court upon  Notice and  Demand  for

Mandatory Judicial Notice, pursuant to Rule 201(d) of the Federal

Rules of  Evidence, the  Full Faith  and Credit  Clause,  and  28

U.S.C. 1449.

                          JURISDICTION

     The  District  Court  of  the  United  States  has  original

jurisdiction over  this action, pursuant to the authorities cited

in the above caption, to wit:  18 U.S.C. 1964(a), 28 U.S.C. 1331,

1332, 1333(1),  1334, 1359,  1367, 1441, 1446, 2284, and 5 U.S.C.

552(a)(4)(B).

     The District  Court of  the United  States is an Article III

court  with   authority  to  hear  questions  arising  under  the

Constitution, Laws,  and Treaties of the United States, including

but not  limited to  the  Bill  of  Rights,  Eleventh  Amendment,

original Thirteenth  Amendment,  the  International  Covenant  on

Civil and  Political Rights,  and the  Universal  Declaration  of

Human Rights,  with Reservations.   See  Supremacy Clause  in the

Constitution for  the  United  States  of  America,  as  lawfully

amended (hereinafter "U.S. Constitution").


Notice and Verified Petition for Warrant of Removal:  Page 3 of 6


               RESERVATION OF RIGHTS DUE TO FRAUD

     Petitioners  hereby  explicitly  reserve  Their  fundamental

Right to  amend this  and all subsequent pleadings, should future

events and/or  discoveries prove that They have failed adequately

to comprehend  the full  extent of  the damage(s) which They have

suffered at the hands of the Respondents, both named and unnamed,

now and  at all  times in  the future.  See Article I, Section 6,

Clause 2 ("1:6:2"), in the U.S. Constitution.

     Petitioners hereby also explicitly reserve Their fundamental

Right to  enjoy a  panel of  three (3)  competent  and  qualified

judges whose  compensations are  not being  diminished by federal

income taxes,  pursuant to Article III, Section 1 ("3:1"), in the

U.S. Constitution.

     Petitioners hereby specifically complain that Congress knew,

or  should  have  known,  that  the  federal  court  of  original

jurisdiction to  enforce the  FOIA is  the District  Court of the

United States  ("DCUS"), not  the United  States  District  Court

("USDC"), when  Congress published A CITIZEN'S GUIDE ON USING THE

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT AND THE PRIVACY ACT OF 1974 TO REQUEST

GOVERNMENT RECORDS,  First  Report  by  The  House  Committee  on

Government  Operations,  Subcommittee  on  Information,  Justice,

Transportation, and  Agriculture, 1993 Edition, House Report 103-

104, 103rd Congress, 1st Session, Union Calendar No. 53.

     Said CITIZEN'S  GUIDE incorrectly  cited the  United  States

District Court  as the federal court of original jurisdiction for

judicial  enforcement   of  FOIA   requests.     See   5   U.S.C.

552(a)(4)(B).   There is  no statute  of  limitations  on  fraud,

whether actual or constructive.

state, federal  witness, Counselor  at Law,  and Relator  in  the
