ABUSE OF POWER UNDER COLOR OF LAW

19. On September 23, 2011, the Court refused to address the two (2) Petition to Proceed In Forma Pauperis pending on her calendar.

20. On September 23, 2011, Judge Carolyn Carluccio incorrectly denied being the ‘signing judge’ responsible for the petition on August 15, 2011.

21. On September 23, 2011, Judge Carolyn Carluccio conducted a hearing
where she lacked jurisdiction during the pending appeal,
where she lacked jurisdiction as the petition under consideration had been filed immediately before the proceeding and the Defendant had not been served,
where the Defendant had not been permitted time to read the petition,
where the Defendant had not been permitted time to prepare a response to the petition,
where the Defendant was not permitted to testify,
where the Defendant was not permitted to call witnesses,
where all of the petitions which had been filed, properly served and scheduled for the proceeding were summarily declared moot.
where the petition filed immediately before the proceeding related to an order issued on July 18, 2011 where the Court was similarly without jurisdiction as the Defendant had not been served with the petition

30. On September 23, 2011, Judge Carluccio was aware of every issue relating to the Appeal of her defective Order of May 9, 2011 having ordered and been served the Concise Statement of Errors Complained of on Appeal on September 15, 2013.

31. On September 23, 2011, Judge Carluccio was aware that the Appeal would challenge and void her subsequent Order of July 18, 2011 where she had indicated that she did not have jurisdiction in the matter.

33. On September 28, 2011, Valerie Angst filed a preacipe to withdraw the petition filed immediately before the proceeding on September 23, 2011 which was the basis for the Order of September 23, 2011.

34. The Order of September 23, 2011 prohibited the Defendant “from filing any further petitions/motions regarding events that occurred prior to the date of this Order” and intended to prevent the Defendant from any further litigation.

35. Defendant followed the Order of September 23, 2011 while awaiting information about the progress of the Appeal.

MALICE / TERROR / ABUSE OF POWER UNDER COLOR OF LAW

36. Irreparable damage had occurred which included the deliberate and intentional unlawful and unethical ex parte participation of Judge Carolyn Carluccio to issue void orders, delay hearings and prevent the appeal from being transmitted to the Superior Court.

37. While the overwhelming bias of the equitable distribution was intentional and clearly evident, bias or unfairness are not grounds for an appeal.

38. The equitable distribution ordered the Defendant to be homeless; gave the Plaintiff full financial control; granted a misleading and invalid power of attorney to a Plaintiff who had violated Agreed Orders, burglarized the Defendants home, refused to permit visitation with the parties children, not followed any court order and was excused every time the Defendant filed with the Court to enforce compliance with court orders; and neglected to address any issue properly presented to the court by the Defendant.

39. Judge Carluccio had not expected the fatal defect which would render the divorce decree void to be discovered, documented, and a valid reason for APPEAL.

40. On Appeal, the bias of the equitable distribution order would further validate the Defendant’s allegations which were ignored in the petitions filed requesting Judge Carluccio to recuse.

41. The Defendant was regularly informed by the Prothonotary that the Appeal was awaiting action on the Petition to Proceed In Forma Pauperis.

NOTICE OF APPEAL TO SUPERIOR COURT

42. On October 14, 2011 (#104 EDM 2011), the Superior Court denied the Defendant’s Extraordinary Petition to Proceed in Forma Pauperis citing “where there was no appeal pending before the Superior Court and that court’s jurisdiction was not being infringed upon by the trial court’s action, there was no predicate for Superior Court’s exercise of jurisdiction to issue writ of prohibition; Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has original jurisdiction to issue a writ on the lower court where no appeal is pending.”

43. The Superior Court of Pennsylvania was notified of the pending appeal in the Defendant’s Petition filed directly with the appellate prothonotary on September 20, 2011 and assigned #104 EDM 2011.

44. On October 18, 2011, the Montgomery County Prothonotary received, acknowledged and docketed #2007-12477-355 the related Superior Court Order dated October 14, 2011 #104 EDM 2011 .

45. On October 19, 2011, Judge Carluccio filed her Opinion related to the Appeal.

OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD IN COURT

(1) heard the Defendant’s statement that his appearance in court was not a waiver of due process, procedure, and further not a waiver of the pending appeal filed August 15, 2011;
(2) immediately addressed Angst & Angst’s failure to serve the petition to Defendant which if left unaddressed would contribute to a lack of jurisdiction;
(3) learned about Valerie Angst’s secret efforts with Court Administration to have Judge Haaz removed from the matter;
(4) learned about Valerie Angst’s secret efforts with Judge Carluccio to have Judge Haaz removed from the matter;
(5) issued an Order for Court Administration to schedule a protracted hearing on the matter.

51. Citing the failure to schedule the pending Petition to Proceed In Forma Pauperis, the ommission of the Defendant’s Response & Counter Petition in the citation, the successful reassignment from Judge Haaz and other issues, on December 28, 2012, Defendant filed Objections to the Reassignment of the Matter/Petition to Enforce the Scheduling Order of July 10, 2012.
