It is amazing that given the amount of knowledge circulating across the United States that we just can’t seem to have learned that We the People need more of a legal education and even more control of our emotions, especially when it comes to court pleadings. Here is an example of what NOT to submit to a U.S. appellate circuit:
The foregoing document was delivered to my email inbox because I am (unfortunately) part of an email stream that circulates among homeowners facing foreclosure who want to act like quasi-lawyers and seemingly pimp their services to others and bitch and complain and divulge (online) their litigation strategies (feebly) to others in the email stream who are in the same boat as they are. Don’t think for one minute that they chose to include just themselves either … nope … they included several federal agencies emails in their streams as well. Talk about giving the other side a win. Seriously?
Anyone who understands the law would know that you have two choices of appeal routes if you’re in bankruptcy … you can either take your appeal to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the federal circuit your subject property is situated in … or you can take your appeal and file it with the Bankruptcy Appellate Court (BAP) to have your appeal matters heard if indeed the case was initiated in a federal district bankruptcy court. You don’t get two bites at the apple. That’s procedural. Did we forget that we have to search ALL of the Civil Rules and not just the ones we think will benefit us?
This is a classic example of someone who “thinks” they know everything about litigation, yet posture themselves incorrectly and waste court time with filing pleadings that are incorrectly submitted. Has no one ever heard of enumeration? You don’t start sentences out with the word “That”! SHIT!
And what about case citations? Find any?
And this guy pimps his services to others in the email stream. Is it unauthorized practice of law? Hmmm.
HOW you plead your case depends on all sorts of legal consequences, doesn’t it? That’s why my team and I do NOT give legal advice. Certainly, we encourage homeowners facing foreclosure to do their own research; however, when the research goes off on a tangent, well … you can’t fix stupid.
We the People need to stop letting emotions and rants run our mindsets when it comes to this nation’s Article 1 administrative court systems! These email artists and those participating in the stream should have attended our Little Rock Boot Camp in October. I guarantee you, after doing so, they wouldn’t have submitted pleadings like the foregoing.
After all these years of posting, I hope and pray our readers understand the law better than this.
Despite the fact that judges are supposed to accord the same leniency to pro se litigants as their bank attorney counterparts, I fear this pleading is going to get shit-canned! If you are contemplating filing anything with a court pro se, at least look at the state, federal and local rules of the court you are filing in and understand your options before going off half-cocked.
I also hope and pray that your 2025 New Year gets off to a better start than this, because if it doesn’t, we’re all f****d!
