(on Fray September 26, 2008 | made @ phone cal to the Jul Inquty & Review Commission. In that
conversation learned that Judge McGrath the judge in my case was from the Arington area. Iwas led
to believe that this judge had been chosen to hear my case ashe was from Harrisonburg, Va and now 2
retired judge and not familar with this area and would be abl to ste to my case with objectivity. |
believe with 100% of my heart and with the fllowing information that under Type of Complaints the
commision investigates that it would come under 1 Allowing family, socal or cher relationships to
Influence this judgment 2. Engaging in private conversations which may influence judicial actions 3
‘And possible falling to disqualify n a proceeding in which impartiality reasonably might be questioned,
because of his Actions under 4 & 2
‘Our case was heard on Thursday September 12, 2008. The day started with Judge McGrat calling us
ance Wolk Grenadier and lona Grenadier Heckman) backto chambers. He sali he knew not to call
but one of the defendants in (David Grenadier). Hein 45 minutes knew not to cal both defendants in
‘with having just looked atthe case for 4 minutes? Which think that made me question what was
‘goin to happen. Then he made a suggestion of an offer fora settlement that had been ina letter from
the defendant llona Grenadier where she had also threatened me | had better drop this suitor else
Here is aman thats supposed tobe impartial. That sald he had had only 45 minutes that morning to
review the case fle which was easly several inches thick. Had already made a call not to callin both
defendants to discuss a settlement. | had already had judges that had allowed the defendants tole in
court inthe Gy of Alexandria. Unfortunatly this has happened again, The defendants tlona Ely
Freedman Grenadier Heckman was married to the late Judge Albert Grenadier who was a good friend
‘and well respected through out the state of Virginia the other defendant David Grenadier is the son of
‘the Judge. was told on several occasions! wouldnt get a fair tral, this Included one ofthe crcult court
Judges her in Alexandria. I wes nieve enough to believe inthe truth. | also am raising my eildren
having beon given without asking sole custody of my gis, from this cour. believe this courtis aware
ofhow these defendants are. | believe that this Judge did discuss this case with the others, He also
‘went to lunch with one ofthe judges they looked very fiend during this lunch. {was ignorant enough
tobelieve | stil hada chance withthe truth.
‘The following facts! believe support my complaint:
1. The moming conference with only one defendant and how it was handled.
2. How uncomfortable the Judge McGrath seemed during this discussion
3. How Mrs. Grenadier brought out the question of the Sonia Grenadier Tris situation and the
judge even said he didnt understand, but, allowed the defendant a three diferent times to
bring it up, evento question me about it. But, would not allow me to question them about,
and even stated he didnt really understand the issue, ust wast going heart. The Sonia
‘Grenadier Trust situation is of Mr. ona Grenadier Heckman and David Grenadier having access
‘through agents forthe Trust of Sonia Grenager tothe mismanagement her Trust and the
financial benefit from this mismanagement. | belleve he knew the allocations that were going to
s ee@
4. He then allowed with out any type of comment fr the defendants to ie under oath. Iwas able
to proveit, and | was ust told to move on.
5. That when | went to ask Mrs. Grenadier questions was warned how | approached the questions
wen the defendants had been allowed to hammer me,
6. The defendants had been allowed to ask me the same question several imes, between the two
‘of them, when | objected the judge allowed them to go forward. When ever | asked a question
‘twice Iwas told to move on, he allowed there objections. He allowed them to li
7. Maybe twes innocent. But, Judge McGrath had a very frendly inch with one ofthe focal
Judges who was aware of everything, it may have been innocent but, now | have learned that
‘Judge MeGrath was from this area, It didn’t have the look of appropriate and innocent atthe
time, and now with my new knowledge that Judge McGrath has done substantial wockin this
reat really doesn’t have the look of appropriate. Judge Brown had heard our case before and
afterwards Mrs llona Grenadier Heckman was commenting on there relationship and Lam not
sure he should have heard the complaint after eared ef that. She was commenting onthe
help she hed given him before on cases. So was very specific with the judge's chambers on
‘making sure there was an impartial Judge.
8. On Monday September 22, 2008 filed 2 Motion fr Reconsideration with the Alexandta Creu
Court. New information had been provided to me on the Loan of the funds to ona Grenade /
David Grenadier / GiC from the cas. it was letter the settlement attomey hid me write atthe
time of settement. | didn’t have this letter prior tothe court date, {also gave the back upto
prove the dlsingenuous statements made by the defendants and ther attorneys. | then
followed up withthe Circuit Court's Judges Chambersto be sure since the Judge was from out of
this area he received The Motion and the Exhibits. On Wednesday September 24,2008 | was
informed they had reached him and he only requested The Mation be sent and none of the
Exhibits. On Thursday he stil had not requested any Exhibits. On Friday afternoon lreceved a
«all from the Judges Chambers that he had denied the Motion and had never requested or
‘asked about the Exhibits. The Motion had been denled on September 24,2008 the same day he
received the motion. Ihave sine then gone tothe Commonwealths Attorney's Office.
‘When | caled and spoke with Don atthe board and learned that Judge McGrath was fom the Aington
‘area and he knew weil of Burke and Herbert Ban, Ithen realized more then ever there was a good
possibility that Judge McGrath should not have heard this case. | hope you wil look seriousat these
allegations as fim beleve Judge McGrath shouldnt have heard this case ora best did discuss this
«case with others that were familar with this case, and fiir withthe family situation.
‘Tome this isa very sad day. | belleve in our country and in aur system, this court has shattered that

Yours and all the Judges from September 7, 2007 who have ruled on my case are in
Violation of many different laws which you lose immunity. Under the common lw,
judges are generally immune from civil liability for judicial acts, but they do not enjoy this:

You are a trespasser of the law, you did not have subject-matter jurisdiction and
your order is void, of no legal force or effect. Whenever a judge acts where
helshe does not have jurisdiction to act, the judge is engaged in an act oracts of

Judge John MeGrath
1) On September 11, 2008 as asked by the Circuit Court of Alexandria to oversee
a case that the Judges of the Circuit Court had recused themselves. The Circuit
Court of Alexandria had not followed the rules of The Supreme Court of Virginia,
Fuule 17.1-105(b) This was in violation of Plaintifs Civil Rights, Constitutional
Rights, and The Law of the Supreme Court of Virginia were broken, which as a
‘Judge he had the responsibilty of knowing. In conclusion he either did not know
the law ~ incompetence, or, he ignored the law — unconscionable! On August 12,
2010 Judge Kloch recuse himselt because of the same relationship that Judge
McGrath & Judge Kloch shared at the time of Plaintiff's trial. With the
‘acknowledgement:
“Appearance of Justice is just as important as Justice itself”
‘September 11, 2008 — Thursday Trial Judge John McGrath
1. The 1% issue JWG has is first thing Judge McGrath did that moming was to
call iona and JWG into Chambers to have a conference to see if case could
be settled. Judge McGrath informed JWG he had studied the fie for the last
‘45 minutes and understood there to be an issue in including David in the
conference. He also made a comment that the moneyisettlement shouldn't
{90 directly to JWG because of judgments against JWG which JWG had none
at that time. He then suggested the funds could be disbursed through Burke
{& Herbert Bank towards JWG's daughter's education, This was Plaintifs
‘money, not Plaintitfs daughters. Not that every cent Plaintiff has doesn't go to
them. ‘Now please keep in mind Plaintif had been led to believe this was a
judge from Harrisonburg, he had no ties to this area, Not a judge coming to
play Kangaroo Court. JWG noticed during conversation Judge Kloch lingered
inthe hall way. JWG had been very specific with the Judge's ofice in
Alexandria; Plaintif expected to have a fair judge. especially ater llona’s
comments about Judge Brown, and other Judge's.
2. Then Ilona was allowed to bring up a situation which dealt with the theft of
money from the Sonia Grenadier Trust that was run out of her law office.
First in the Opening Statement, and then with questioning Plaintiff under oath,3. When Plaintif went to question David and llona, JWG wasn't allowed to
‘question them or bring The Sonia Grenadier Trust. Judge McGrath said he
Wasn't going to allow it brought into his court room and he really didn't
understand it. JWG requested to explain it to him, he wouldn't hear of i. JWG
‘mentioned llona had brought it up he just went on to say he wasr't allowing it
in his Kangaroo court room.
4. David Grenadier lied under oath. Judge McGrath allowed itn his Kangaroo
‘Court room to protect one of the partes to the Network.
5. When llona got on the stand JWG was WARNED on how Plaintiff could
Question llona and what questions. JWG started asking llonaquestions, llona
broke down crying. JWG asked for recess to give liona a chance to compose
herself and was denied. Kangaroo Court as you have never seen ito protect
The Network.
6. Judge McGrath then went and had a very friendly lunch with Judge Kloch at
‘Jackson 20 a new restaurant in Old Town. Most likely discussing their work
together al Judicial Solutions.
7. Judge McGrath then of course found in favor of llona and Davic. JWG would
‘not have had a problem with fit had been a fair trial with a Judge that had
Integnly. Judge McGrath was tainted and had discussed this case prior to.
court with Judge Kloch, and possible other Judge's in the chamoers. ‘The
order was written prior to closing arguments.
‘September 22, 200 ~ JWG Filed Motion for Reconsideration With new evidence that
had been dropped off at Plantifs house ~ A letter that David Ellsberg the Settlement
altomey fer Bellefonte that he had Plaintiff write him that showed Plaintiff was loaning
the money to ona / David / GIC
‘September 23, 2008 -
1, Diane Fiske - Question: Protocol (Judge was out of town last week)
~ She will e-mail / call Judge see if he wants mailed to tim or in area
to stop by,
2. Commenwealth Attomey's Oifice Randy Sengel explains to JWG that Judge
McGrath did a lot of work in the Circuit Court of Alexandria and was well known with the
Judge's
‘September 24, 2008 — Diane — heard from Judge sent him Motion-but he didn't want
Exhibits ~ So basically didn’t even consider Motion
‘September 26, 2008 -1. Diane Fiske - 21 days hopefully something today Judge has everything except
Exhibits
2, Diane Attemoon received order from Judge in mail sent on 24"— denying and he
never looked at Exhibits confirmed by Diane
3, Randy Sengel ~ Commonwealth Attomey tells Plaintf the JIRC Commission is
appropriate place to file a complaint - again Informs me that Judge McGrath has
done a lot of work in Alexandria Circuit Court
4, Call to Judicial Inquiry & Review Commission Donald Curry informed JWG that
Judge McGrath was from the Arlington Area and that is how he knew about
Burke & Herbert Bank ~ had done extencive work in Alexandria Courts
5. Plaintf realized thatthe fact he was from Harrisonburg was mute it was a farce.
With this new knowledge JWG realized the following was true - Type of
‘Complaints the commission investigates comes under:
1. Allowing Family, social or other relationships to influence this judgment
2. Engaging in private conversations which may influence judicial actions
3. Failing to disqualify ina proceeding in which impartiality reasonably might be
quoetioned, because of his Actions under 1 & 2
October 21, 2008 - Mailed from Alexandria Virginia a complaint against Judge John
‘McGrath to his good friend Donald Curry w/ the JIC Commission.
‘October 23, 2008 — Donald R Curry Counsel for JIC committee sent me the following:
“This is in response to your complaint dated October 21, 2008, Based upon what you
have submitted and alleged, we have found no basis for a conclusion that there has
been a violation of the Canons. A mere “belief that an ex parte communication,
occurred, without more, does not provide a sufficient basis for Commission action,
Please be advised, moreover, that the judge about whom you complaint is a retired
judge from the 26" Circuit."
‘The complaint was never researched Plaintiff tried to take it further but The Network,
was to busy protecting each other.John J. McGrath Jr.

2Judge McGrath has lost his immunity. As. a judge he did not follow the law, ie. he is a
‘trespasser of the law, he as a judge has lost subject-matter jurisdiction and his orders
should be void, of no legal force or effect. The U.S. Supreme Court, in Scheuer v.

‘This commitee needs to send a very strong message to Judge McGrath that Virginia,
