Book excerpt: Petitioner Respectfully Prays that a Writ of Certiorari issue to the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Appellate Division, First Department to review the decision of the Supreme Court of the State of New York dated August 9, 2013, Index No. 101087/2013, and the decision of the Appellate Division, First Department of the Supreme Court of the State of New York dated August 13, 2013 which denied the validation petition of the above candidates to be reinstated on the ballot after these candidates were removed from the ballot solely because their petition signatures had not been witnessed by enrolled Republicans. On August 21, 2013, the Court of Appeals of the State of New York denied the motion by Petitioner for Leave to Appeal to the New York Court of Appeals. The Candidate-Petitioners and their supporters circulated petitions to be placed on the ballot. Petitions containing more than 4500 signatures were timely filed by "Cindarella Time" which was midnight on July 11, 2013. As this filing was facially valid, petitioner-candidates were placed on the ballot. However, a General Objection was by one Sal Caruso was filed on July 15, 2013 followed by a Specific Objection on July 22, 2013. A hearing was held before the New York Board of Elections on July 30, 2013 following which these candidates were kicked off the ballot on July 31, 2013 for one reason only which was 3905 of these signatures had not been witnessed by enrolled members of the Republican Party. Rather the signatures had been witnessed by other voters including Democrats, Libertarians and Blanks. Petitioners filed a petition to validate their places on the ballot on August 1, 2013. A show cause order was issued requiring the objector and the Board of Elections to appear on August 5, 2013. On August 9, 2013 Judge Wooten denied the Validation Petition without opinion. Petitioner appealed and this appeal was heard by the New York supreme Court Appellate Division First Department which affirmed the decision of the Supreme Court without opinion. Petitioner then filed a motion for leavbe to appeal with the Court of appeals of New York. This was denied on August 21, 2013. This petition for Certiorari follows. This proceeding is brought under Election Law Sections 16-100 and 16-102 and other provisions of New York Law. Sam Sloan is a candidate for Mayor of the City of New York. Richard Bozulich is a candidate for Comptroller of the City of New York. Thomas R. Stevens is a candidate for Public Advocate of the City of New York. Supporters of the candidates circulated petitions and the requisite number of signatures were obtained to get on the ballot. The signed petitions were timely submitted to the Board of Elections in the City of New York. The Petitions complied in every respect with the election rules, including cover sheets and wording of the petitions. There were enough signatures, the cover sheet was done properly and the wording of the petition was correct. However, on July 31, 2013, all three of these candidates were thrown off the ballot after a hearing by the New York City Board of Elections for one reason only, which was that these were designating petitions for the Republican Party Primary, and the subscribing witnesses (not the signers) were not registered as Republicans with the New York City Board of Elections.

Sloan and published by Ishi Press. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a petition for a writ of certiorari filed in the United States Supreme Court regarding the Estate of Michael Goodall, a well known and prominent chess personality and FIDE international arbiter and organizer, recognized by the World Chess Federation. Immediately following the death of Mike Goodall in October 2010, Bank of America moved to seize the entire Goodall Assets, even to the point of burglary, breaking into the Goodall mansion and stealing all of the property. Petitioner Samuel H. Sloan, Administrator of the Goodall Estate, filed a petition in Marin County Probate Court thereby forcing Bank of America to return the Goodall property. However, Bank of America filed a counter petition in San Francisco Probate Court to take over all the assets of the Goodall Estate, even though none of the Goodall assets were in San Francisco County. For the last nearly three years this case has been running in parallel in two different and conflicting courts with neither court willing to transfer the case to the other court because of the huge amount of money involved. This conflict has led to this case being filed in the United States Supreme Court.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This proceeding is brought under Election Law Sections 16-100 and 16-102 and other provisions of New York Law. Sam Sloan is a candidate for Mayor of the City of New York. Richard Bozulich is a candidate for Comptroller of the City of New York. Thomas R. Stevens is a candidate for Public Advocate of the City of New York. At the Hearing on the Order to Show Cause before Justice Paul Wooten on August 5, 2013, Defendant Board of Elections in the City of New York provided only one grounds for throwing the petitioners of the ballot. That ground was that under Section 132 (2) of New York Election law the subscribing witnesses to a Designating Petition must be registered to vote as a member of the Party whose nomination is being sought, and the subscribing witnesses were not Republicans with only two exceptions. Petitioners had submitted approximately 4500 signatures to run for election whereas only 3750 are required. (There are some differences in the count of the total number of signatures but all counts agree that more than 4200 were filed.) A few of the 4500 signatures collected were found invalid for various reasons including bad address or not registered to vote. However, a core of 3905 signatures were found to be good but invalid for one reason only which is that the Subscribing Witnesses to those petitions were not registered to vote as members of the Republican Party. In other words, had those 3905 signatures been witnessed by a Registered Republican Party Voter, then all three petitioners would be on the ballot. However, because they were witnessed by other voters, including Democrats, Libertarians and Blanks, those 3905 signatures were deemed invalid. Petitioner Sam Sloan is a long standing registered voter in the Republican Party and he also circulated and witnessed some of the petitions and signed one of the petitions himself. The petitions he witnessed were deemed valid but all or almost all of the others were deemed invalid on the ground that the subscribing witness was not registered as a Republican. Frankly, the petitioners are newcomers to this process and were not aware that there was any requirement that the signatures be witnessed by members of any political party. Had they known about this they might have tried to find witnesses who are Republicans but failing that they would likely have given up trying to run for election as finding any witnesses is a difficult task under any circumstances. Witnesses must sign a declaration equivalent to an affidavit under penalty of perjury and must be prepared to be subpoenaed to testify in court under oath. Obviously, not many people are going to be willing to do that. Now that the petitioners have found out the hard way that there is a rule as interpreted by the Board of Elections that says that petitions for Republican Party Candidates must be witnessed (as well as being signed) by REGISTERED voters in the Republican Party, petitioners contend that such a requirement is unconstitutional under the First Amendment right "To Petition the Government." It seems obvious that a requirement that the signatures to a petition of any type are deemed valid if and only if they are witnessed by Registered Republicans cannot be Constitutional. This is an infringement to the constitutional right "to Petition the Government."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an appeal of an order withdrawing Sam Ware counsel for the Estate of K. Michael Goodall from appearing in this case. Counsel for the Goodall Estate sought to withdraw after counsel for Bank of America filed three successive motions for monetary sanctions. These motions were filed by Bank of America against Counsel for the Goodall Estate and personally against the administrator of the Goodall Estate with Will annexed. These successive motions for sanctions demanded that Counsel for the Goodall Estate and the Administrator of the Goodall Estate personally both pay between $13,000 and $16,000 to Counsel for Bank of America. These three motions for sanctions were utterly frivolous and without basis. Their obvious propose was to frighten and intimidate counsel for the Goodall Estate and to scare him into not zealously presenting the best arguments and to frighten him so that he would not properly present the case and would not appeal if necessary. In view of this plus the obvious hostility of the judge presiding over the case to the rightful claims of the Goodall Estate, which made it likely that these motions for sanctions which threatened the professional career of Counsel for the Goodall Estate would be granted, he filed the motion to withdraw so as to get himself off the hook on these motions for sanctions. Even after filing the motion to withdraw, the comments by Judge Busch at the final hearing on sanctions show that Judge Busch was on the verge of ordering sanctions anyway.

This book was released on 2014-08-23 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On or about July 8, 2014 there were filed with the New York State Board of Elections certain papers allegedly constituting petitions purporting to designate for the September 9, 2014 Democratic Party Primary Election Sam Sloan, Candidate for the Democratic Party nomination for Governor, Nenad Bach Candidate for the Democratic Party nomination for Lieutenant Governor and Geeta Rankoth Candidate for the Democratic Party nomination for Comptroller of New York State. These petitions included more than 4000 numbered pages and were facially valid and regular with a cover sheet consistent with New York Election Law and the Rules of the Board of Elections of the State of New York. Upon information and belief the said New York State Board of Elections improperly illegally and in violation of the United States Constitution 14th Amendment due process clause and under the New York State Constitution at an official meeting on August 1, 2014 threw them off the ballot without ever informing Sam Sloan, Candidate for the Democratic Party nomination for Governor, Nenad Bach Candidate for the Democratic Party nomination for Lieutenant Governor and Geeta Rankoth Candidate for the Democratic Party nomination for Comptroller of New York State that there would be a hearing and determination of the validity of their petitions and the possibility of their signatures being invalidated. 2. Order and decree and direct the New York State Board of Elections to restore the names of Sam Sloan, Nenad Bach and Geeta Rankoth to the ballot as Candidates for the Democratic Party nomination for Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Comptroller of New York State to be printed and placed on the official ballots to be used either at the September 9, 2014 Democratic Primary Election and the November 4, 2014 General Election and why the Petitioners should not have such other and further relief as to this court may seem just and proper.

This book was released on 2014-11-25 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A case was initiated in the New York Supreme Court Albany County seeking to invalidate the New York State Board of Elections. It also sought to place candidates on the ballot after they had been deemed to have insufficient signatures by the New York State Board of Elections. This action was appealed to the New York State Appellate Division Third Department. Then an appeal was made to the New York Court of Appeals which did not hear the case. Thereafter, this case was brought to the United States District Court in Albany by voters whose constitutional election rights were denied to have their candidates on the ballot and by aggrieved candidates who were petitioners, as they are here. Questions Presented Does the New York State Board of Elections violate the United States Constitution and thus should be found unconstitutional and abolished and disbanded as it is presently constituted and a new election held with all candidates restored to the ballot? Statement of the Case The plaintiff-appellants are candidates for office or else are voters who support these candidates, who signed their petitions and want to vote for them for election. The candidates were on the ballot since July 8, 2014 but were thrown off at a meeting by the New York State Board of Elections on August 1, 2014.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: and racial justice during a critical era in southern and Appalachian history. This volume is the first comprehensive examination of that extraordinary -- and often controversial -- institution. Founded in 1932 by Myles Horton and Don West near Monteagle, Tennessee, this adult education center was both a vital resource for southern radicals and a catalyst for several major movements for social change. During its thirty-year history it served as a community folk school, as a training center for southern labor and Farmers' Union members, and as a meeting place for black and white civil rights activists. As a result of the civil rights involvement, the state of Tennessee revoked the charter of the original institution in 1962. At the heart of Horton's philosophy and the Highlander program was a belief in the power of education to effect profound changes in society. By working with the knowledge the poor of Appalachia and the South had gained from their experiences, Horton and his staff expected to enable them to take control of their own lives and to solve their own problems. John M. Glen's authoritative study is more than the story of a singular school in Tennessee. It is a biography of Myles Horton, co-founder and long-time educational director of the school, whose social theories shaped its character. It is an analysis of the application of a particular idea of adult education to the problems of the South and of Appalachia. And it affords valuable insights into the history of the southern labor and the civil rights movements and of the individuals and institutions involved in them over the past five decades.
