Statement of the case
I was driving prudently. The police man gave me a ticket. I faxed the ticket and all me papers to my lawyer in California. The lawyer cannot read the ticket. The papers accuse me of violating “the basic rule”. Obviously the clerk who wrote the papers also cannot read the ticket - because she wrote “basic rule” instead of the code number. My lawyer does not know what “the basic rule” is. I would like to read the basic rule also. The prosecution has failed to cooperate in my attempt to discover how the radar device works. I need time to prepare a motion to compel production of answers. This motion is not made for purposes of delay.
Signed ________________Larry Thomas. March 24, 2004
Request for Notification in writing of the charges - a legible ticket will suffice
I ask for a legible ticket or a written complaint. I am happy to come back and deal with this when the case is ripe.
I challenge the jurisdiction of the court until I receive a legible complaint and time for counsel to review
I challenge the jurisdiction of this court until you tell me legibly in writing what law I have violated.
Signed ___________________Larry Thomas March 24, 2004
Declaration of Attorney Douglas Palaschak
I, Douglas Palaschak, declare the following under penalty of perjury: I have 20 years experience as a licensed lawyer. Larry asked me to provide assistance of counsel to him. I cannot read the fax copy of the ticket. Both the front and the back of the ticket show through the paper when only the front side is copied. Also, the handwriting on the ticket is . . .. .well its not the Palmer Method that the nuns taught us.
Speaking of nuns, the basic rule is a bad thing to violate. However, if Larry is to be prosecuted he must be told the number of that rule so that we can see what it said. As I recall, the basic rule is “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. I know Larry. I know that he was not caught violating the basic rule. We need some time and we need to be informed of the statute number so that I can be effective in my counsel.

Memorandum of Authorities
I have a constitutional right to be informed of the nature and cause of the prosecution against me. Those words are in the Bill of Rights. I have a right to be presented with a written complaint or at least a legible ticket. Until then, the prosecution must stop.
I have a right to effective assistance of counsel. That means that my lawyer must know the charges against me and must be able to read the traffic ticket.
I challenge this court’s jurisdiction. Under Rhode Island v Massachusetts (1838) 37 U.S. 657
http://www.lawyerdude.netfirms.com/rhode.html proceeding must stop until the jurisdiction issue is resolved.
