Lawler, Pro Se, hereby files this Motion to Reconsider Order Denying Defendant's Motion To Dismiss. While we recognize that reconsideration of a previous order is an extraordinary remedy to be Case 1:14-cv-02468-AT Document 28 Filed 10/10/14 Page 1 of 28 employed sparingly, we certainly f md extraordinary circumstances i n this matter. For this, among other reasons, Defendant Thomas J. Lawler respectfully submits the following: SUMMARY 1. Defendant(s) have been denied the court appointment of legal counsel and denied adequate financial provision to secure legal counsel i n order to provide for and present a proper defense. Defendant(s) have been denied due process. 2. Plaintiff has offered NO real valid basis or evidence, as it relates to a "Private Club" or otherwise to bring said allegations against a Private Club or its Founder, Members, Agents, et al. 3. Plaintiff has engaged i n egregious, reckless actions by knowingly and intentionally ignoring and omitting substantial truth and facts thereby bringing great harm upon the very people they state they are protecting by and through the ongoing TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER, ASSET FREEZE, AND OTHER EQUI TABLE RELIEF, as wel l 2 Case 1:14-cv-02468-AT Document 28 Filed 10/10/14 Page 2 of 28 as asserting their own spin of language and untruths in order to proffer false and voi d allegations, among other things. 4. Plaintiff has infringed upon Defendant's First Amendment rights. PARTI ES 5. Plaintiff: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION ("COMMISSION" OR "SEC"), 6. Defendant(s): Thomas John Lawler, Defendant, Pro Se, domiciled in the State of Georgia, FREEDOM FOUNDATI ON USA LLC dba FREEDOM CLUB USA ("THE CLUB"), registered i n the state of Nevada, VIOLET BLESSINGS LLC, ORDER PROCESSING LLC and DI VI NE SPIRIT LLC, each registered in the state of Missouri. J UDI CI AL NOTI CE 7. Defendant(s) claim all rights at all times and waive none of them at any time for any cause or reason. 8. Defendant(s) claim substantial Due Process rights to have Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law published wi t h any order of this court. 3 Case 1:14-cv-02468-AT Document 28 Filed 10/10/14 Page 3 of 28 9. Thomas Lawler, Defendant, Pro Se, who is unschooled in law, asks the court to take Judicial Notice of the enunciation of principles as stated in Haines v. Kemer, 404 U.S. 519, wherein the court has directed that those who are unschooled i n law making pleadings and/or complaints shall have the court look to the substance of the pleadings rather than the form. 10. Defendant reserve the right to supplement and/or amend as needed. JURI SDI CTI ON AND VENUE 11. Defendant disputes jurisdiction and venue. Plaintiff has placed an incorrect emphasis on an unassociated jurisdiction. Change of jurisdiction has previously been established and ignored. Parties await Order from The Common Law Intemational World court for removal of this matter. F ACT AND L E G A L BASIS 12. In an effort to not restate certain BACKGROUND, FACTS AND BRIEF I N SUPPORT of Defendant(s)' position previously submitted to this Court as part of a copy of Defendant(s)' STATEMENT OF CLAI M I N THE COMMON LAW I NTERNATI ONAL WORLD COURT, 4 Case 1:14-cv-02468-AT Document 28 Filed 10/10/14 Page 4 of 28 Defendant(s) hereby reallege and incorporate by reference herein, attaching same as EXHI BI T A. 13. Defendants' have been denied Due Process. Defendant Lawler comes before the Court Pro Se due to the fact that this Court has DENIED hi m a court appointed attomey and additionally Ordered a TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER, still i n force as of this date, disallowing enough liquidity of funds to secure proper legal representation, that which far exceeds what this Court has allowed as available. Since all other named Defendants are non-living entities, cannot speak for themselves and can only be represented by Court recognized legal counsel, they too have been denied proper legal counsel by the unjust restraint and freeze of available fiinds. There is no valid fact entered to support this order of action. 14. Mr. Lawler did not appear at a hearing due to the restraint and deprivation of legal counsel so as not to fiirther incriminate himself, not being schooled i n law, procedure or technicality. 15. Al l Defendants have been denied the right and ability to provide for, much less present, a proper legal defense. Hence, Thomas J. Lawler presents Pro Se. Case 1:14-cv-02468-AT Document 28 Filed 10/10/14 Page 5 of 28 16. As taught and published, by Georgia Perimeter College, accredited by the Southem Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, the first paragraph of Article I : Bi l l of Rights, (http://facstaffgpc.edu/~wbroadwe/State&Local%20Ch.%202.pdf).: "Article I: Bill of Rights of The Georgia Constitution guarantees no Georgian will be deprived of Life, Liberty, or Property without Due Process of law. This basically means, a citizen must: - be notified of intended govt, action, - have a right to a hearing, - be able to dispute the state's action, - call witnesses and present evidence, and - have the benefit of legal counsel." (emphasis added) Defendant(s) in this matter have been intentionally deprived of the benefit of legal counsel. 17. During an event hosted Oct. 30, 2009, by the UNC Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity i n Chapel Hi l l , N. C, Associate Justice Patricia Timmons-Goodson noted that the United States is one of the few Westem democracies that do not guarantee the right to counsel i n ci vi l cases. That should not be acceptable for a country that has "assumed the mantle of equality," said Gene R. Nichol, past Dean of UNO' s law school. "You can 6 Case 1:14-cv-02468-AT Document 28 Filed 10/10/14 Page 6 of 28 call it justice because someone in a robe decides the case," said George Hausen, the executive director of Legal Ai d of North Carolina, "but really, there's no adversarial process taking place." It would not be difficult to establish a prima facie case when no adversarial process takes place", as was the case in this matter. 18. Plaintiff offers NO valid basis or evidence to estabHsh this cause of action much less continue their effort to support void allegations, as they relate to a "Private Club" or otherwise i n order for the Court to proceed against a Private Club or its Founder, Members, Agents, et al. When asked by Judge Totenberg during the emergency phone hearing, i f he had any experience or case law as it relates to a "CLUB", counsel for Plaintiff, Pat Huddleston, I I responded to the negative. 19. Al l Club benefits/services/programs, none of which are "investments", are offered ONLY to Club Members who have chosen their own path of education. Club benefits/services/programs are NOT offered or open to the general public. Pl ai nt i ffs allegations of "Unregistered Securities" are void of any valid, legal basis. Case 1:14-cv-02468-AT Document 28 Filed 10/10/14 Page 7 of 28 20. "Howey Test". Justice Murphy formulated one of the U.S. Supreme Court's earliest tests to determine whether an instrument qualifies as an "investment contract" for the purposes of the Securities Act (which later came to be referred to as the Howey test): The "Howey Test" clearly proves that the contracts i n question do not meet at least 3 of the 4 prongs of the test: Plaintiff offers NO valid basis or evidence to establish this cause of action much less continue their effort to support void allegations, as they relates to the actual noted cause of "Securities Fraud" and the allegation, specifically "COUNT I - UNREGISTERED OFFERING OF SECURITIES. Pl ai nt i ffs allegation is void of any valid findings of material fact and fails the very test that their allegation is based upon. No registration statement need be filed or in effect as there was and is no offering of securities. 21. Since the definitions of "Investmenf and "Security" are so broad, the authorities utilize these phrases/law as a catch-all whenever convenient, as well as the widely used "Howey Test". In this matter, there is no 1) investment money (Club Members pay for administrative services provided), 2) due to an expectation of profits (there are none expected or promised), 3) there is a common enterprise obligated to cure the judgments Case 1:14-cv-02468-AT Document 28 Filed 10/10/14 Page 8 of 28 processed (which is the United States Department of Treasury and NOT the Defendant(s) and 4) does NOT depend solely on the efforts of a third party (but does depend on individual education, documentation, information and the accuracy thereof and calculations of what they deem is correct, provided by each individual who wish to engage the administrative services and process, done on a "best efforts" basis wi t h no promise of outcome, along wi t h The United States Department of Treasury and what they deem is just and proper in each individual instance). 22. To draw a parallel, i f one engages a resume service/recruiter, for example, who touts that their service is superior, that they have expertise, information or connections where others do not (choosing to keep that confidential and proprietary) and would help one to obtain the monetary salary level or result they desire - would that service provider/contract also then be guilty of selling a security? Would it also be deemed fraudulent and/or deceptive i f that individual did not obtain desired results? One did invest money, in an organization's or individual's services, wishing to achieve a certain monetary results derived from the efforts of the service provider. This, a parallel drawn demonstrating the broad application or Case 1:14-cv-02468-AT Document 28 Filed 10/10/14 Page 9 of 28 misapplication that can occur. This parallel can apply to most any service organization or service provider i f one wishes to enhance the circumstance to f i t their need. 23. Plaintiff also uses the term "ill-gotten gains" to describe monies paid, categorizing all as such, and calls for the "disgorgement" of same alleging that all Defendants and Relief Defendants have been unjustly enriched. Perhaps the cost of doing business and related expenses have been overlooked by the Plaintiff. 24. To demonstrate the gross misapplication of law used i n the Pl ai nt i ffs effort to support their position. In re: SEC v. ETS Payphones, Inc., 408 F.3d 727, which is referenced on Page 10 of PLAINTIFF SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION' S MEMORANDUM I N SUPPORT OF ITS APPLICATION FOR A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER, ASSET FREEZE, AND OTHER EQUI TABLE RELIEF, on appeal by petition of THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, from the UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA, and i n the event that there was merit i n the Plaintiff SEC not lending credibility to the decision of the 10 Case 1:14-cv-02468-AT Document 28 Filed 10/10/14 Page 10 of 28 UNI TED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA, we can f md no comparison or application of circumstance or law and i n fact is void of any practical application i n this matter. "First, if the seller's purpose is to raise money for the general use of a business or to finance substantial investments "and the buyer is interested primarily in the profit the note is expected to generate, the instrument is likely to be a 'security.'" 494 U.S at 66. Here, "ETS's investors" bought phones "for the purpose of earning a return on the purchase price"(Op. 7), not to use the phones, and ETS raised the money to use in operating the business. " "Second, it is sufficient for the required "common trading" element if the interests are "offered and sold to a broad segment of the public," as were the ETS units. 494 U.S. at 68. " "Third, because Edwards promoted them as "investments," the ETS units meet the "fundamental essence of a 'security.'" Id at 68- 69." 25. First, i n this matter, fiinds were not generated or used to finance investments but were generated were used to pay for services provided. Secondly, the Club offers and sells nothing to the general public wi t h the exception of Private Club Memberships. Benefits/Services/Programs are Case 1:14-cv-02468-AT Document 28 Filed 10/10/14 Page 11 of 28 available only to Private Club Members. Third, the Club does NOT promote "investments" or "securities". 26. Pl ai nt i ffs allegations of "Unregistered Securities" are void of any valid, legal basis. 27. Furthermore, Plaintiff is attempting to conduct a mere witch hunt wi t h total disregard of true fact or lack of education or both. Wi t h specific regard to the "Administrative Remedy" ("A/R"), the process by which these void allegations are based, the facts are indisputable that administrative services are provided to effect a long standing, legal process called "Notarial Protesf. NOTARI AL PROTEST, as defined i n BLACK' S LAW DI CTI ONARY FIRST EDITION: "PROTEST. 2. A notarial act, being a formal statement in writing made by a notary under his seal of office, at the request of the holder of a bill or note, in which such bill or note is described, and it is declared that the same was on a certain day presented for payment, (or acceptance, as the case may be,) and that such payment or acceptance was refused, and stating the reasons, if any, given for such refusal, whereupon the notary protests against all parties to such instrument, and declares that 12 Case 1:14-cv-02468-AT Document 28 Filed 10/10/14 Page 12 of 28 they will be held responsible for all loss or damage arising from its dishonor. " 28. One must be a Club Member to engage i n this process and utilize these administrative services. A Club Member may engage this process and utilize these administrative services as well as other Club benefits/services/programs, at their wi l l , (subsequent to their own research and conclusions), which is a part of their Membership Contract, and in accordance wi t h the mles and specific details of each level of service. One cannot question that there is most certainly a strict intent of understanding and meeting of the minds after reviewing agreements. Al l administrative services are provided to Members on a best effort basis. There is NO promise of outcome, resuh, for services performed. There IS f ul l disclosure of the presentment amount of the Member's claim. There is NO promise for payment of benefit derived from any benefit/service/program as that is the sole discretion of the US Treasury. Payment is for the administration of the service provided. Further, it is not a requirement as a Private Club Member to participate i n any one of the many programs. Participation is solely by choice, subsequent to one's own research, education, decision and ultimately information and calculation that they themselves provide. Ignoring these 13 Case 1:14-cv-02468-AT Document 28 Filed 10/10/14 Page 13 of 28 facts would be the Pl ai nt i ffs own admission to knowingly, intentionally and/or recklessly omitting and/or disregarding truth and fact. 29. The fact remains that there was no valid basis and is still no valid basis for Pl ai nt i ffs allegations. There are not sufficient facts to support allegations that there are "securities" involved. Plaintiff SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION has no legal basis and allegations are void of legal standing or merit and truth and should not be accepted as such. There are no proven violations of the Securities Act of 1933 and in fact are disproven i n Paragraph 14 herein. While, "on a motion to dismiss, a complaint is viewed in the light most favorable to the plaintiff, " anything can be well-pleaded, but the facts of the matter must be tme. The SEC has not proven a prima facie case of violations of the antifraud provisions of federal securities laws and therefore should not be given the f omm to continue a void COMPLAINT and RESTRAINING ORDER, ASSET FREEZE, AND OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF. They have proven nothing more than a Private Club, offering and providing educational and administrative services/programs/benefits and Private Club Members engaging in same as they so choose, subsequent to their own research, and Case 1:14-cv-02468-AT Document 28 Filed 10/10/14 Page 14 of 28 whose participation plays a role i n the very outcome of each of the various services/programs i n which they engage. 30. Plaintiff inappropriately and untruthfully uses and assert their own language, such as "investment" and "promise", among other phrases, that are not used, not referred to, not mentioned, insinuated or otherwise intended by anyone other than themselves. The Club does not advocate, allow or perpetuate such language. In fact. Club contracts and documentation clearly absolve themselves of same. I f Defendants became aware of individuals engaging i n untruthful language as such, that would provide grounds for Membership termination from the Club. 31. The facts are clear. There is no investment, unregistered or otherwise, no security, as proven by the Howey Test, and there is no fraud. Therefore, any reference of law to support the void allegation of "unregistered securities" is moot. What there is, is a Private Club, Private Club / Membership and Contracts, information and education from credible 3'"'^ parties so that Members may do their own research, draw their own conclusions and participate i n whichever of the many benefits/services offered by the Club to Club Members Only. Funds secured by Membership 15 Case 1:14-cv-02468-AT Document 28 Filed 10/10/14 Page 15 of 28 fees and product/service fees are utilized, as any organization would - to support the Club and provide for the many services/products/benefits offered, to provide for usual and customary business expenses and overhead i n order to continue offering same to existing and new Members and to perpetuate organization growth. Plaintiff is not a Club Member. 32. Regarding COUNT I I - FRAUD and COUNT I I I - FRAUD, which appears to be standard charges and often times regurgitated i n matters of the like, Defendant(s) have been paid for services performed, researched and provided education and information and 3'"'^ party materials for Club Members to do their own research and draw their own conclusions. Defendant(s) have made no known untrue statements of fact nor leamed omissions during the course of providing information and resources. The Club may stand accused only of "leading" and not "misleading" Private Club Members to do their own research, due diligence and form their own conclusions based on many other resources. Members must take their own initiative to engage any benefit or service following their own research and decision to do so. SoUcitation is strictly prohibited and grounds for termination from the Club. Members continue to provide additional 16 Case 1:14-cv-02468-AT Document 28 Filed 10/10/14 Page 16 of 28 resources for the benefit of other fellow Club Members. Much of the information and education offered by the Club was and is in fact contributed by Club Members. We are a Club of Club Members and not "investors" as is referred to and misstated throughout Plaintiff documents and Court Orders. 33. Defendant(s) have not engaged i n transactions, practices and courses of business of fraud and deceit. The Club has openly engaged in processes of researched truths and fact. The use of means or instrumentalities of interstate commerce ... directly and indirectly, is admitted as there was no fraud or deception or any reason to hide as one might do i f i n fact there were something unlawfril to hide. 34. In the case of an injured party, involving one who can only be a Club Member (the Plaintiff not a Club Member nor injured party), i n the event of a dispute, all Club contracts clearly define Arbitration and United States Arbitration and Mediation Rules of Arbitration as the only remedy. The Commission is neither a Private Club Member nor an injured party. 35. I n Paragraph 4. of Plaintiffs APPLICATION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER, ASSET FREEZE, AND OTHER EQUI TABLE RELIEF, Plaintiff refers to certain information as "spinning a 17 Case 1:14-cv-02468-AT Document 28 Filed 10/10/14 Page 17 of 28 tale", in Paragraph 5., Plaintiff refers to certain information shared by Defendant as a "fantastical story" and i n Paragraph 12, there is reference to "the scam". Further, in Pl ai nt i ffs COMPLAINT FOR INJUNCTIVE AND OTHER RELIEF, Page 5., under FACTS, A. refers to "The Investment Scheme. Paragraphs 19 - 21, further poorly attempts to defme bits and pieces of information and education; none of which has been proven as not factual or untrue by Plaintiff Just because they say it isn' t so doesn't make it untrue. Plaintiff presents no factual evidence disproving or to the contrary nor enjoins in the suppression the millions of publications, websites, organizations, individuals, etc., sharing and publishing the same and/or closely related information. 36. Bank statements clearly show funds transfers and recipients thereof Plaintiff has certainly established that Mr. Lawler has taken some personal funds, no real salary, but fiinds that, upon agreement, were personally withdrawn totaling approximately $5,000 to $10,000 per year. They also reveal that Mrs. Lawler received funds totaling approximately $5,000 per year for the 10 years of her related work. There are no lavish vehicles, no fancy home or lavish vacations. Funds received by the Club 18 Case 1:14-cv-02468-AT Document 28 Filed 10/10/14 Page 18 of 28 were used to support the organization, usual and customary expenses and overhead, and the multiple benefits/services/programs, serving Club Members. There are no hidden funds, no personal luxuries. Bank statements and funds activity has been reviewed, transfers of funds reasonably explained wi t h no evidence of misuse of Club funds or hidden funds that the Plaintiff seems to have convinced the Court of, despite reviewing bank statements. Yet the Plaintiff continues to muster some believability for Court consideration and continuation of an unjust cause void of any real fact to support their position, inflicting ongoing harm and hardship on the Defendant(s). Absent any real, factual evidence to support these allegations, this is, i n fact, "spinning a tale" and a "fantastical story", to quote the Plaintiff. 37. Evidence i n support of the "emergency" actions taken against the Defendants and Relief Defendants, were derived from a one sided story, presented in a most enticing manner, including language and enhancements far beyond that of the truth. The evidence offered by the Plaintiff included a DECLARATI ON OF MATTHEW MCNAMARA and a DECLARATI ON OF KARAZ S. ZAKI , Attachments 1 and 2, respectively. 19 Case 1:14-cv-02468-AT Document 28 Filed 10/10/14 Page 19 of 28 38. The DECLARATI ON OF MATTHEW MCNAMARA refers to swom testimony of both Thomas and Diane Lawler, both of whose testimony was taken while under great duress and without the benefit of legal counsel. The DECLARATI ON regurgitates and highlights certain chosen excerpts and establishes that there is no securities registration. Questions seemed to escalate into a financial and taxation witch hunt, revealing reasonably explained supported staff and business expenditures and focusing heavily on very minor personal expenditures, no salary noted, or any real unusual activity noted. Defendant Thomas Lawler' s testimony reveals cooperation and explanation, under great duress, revealing years of research, and great belief i n same and contact wi t h the "Treasury" wi t h reference to the "ARs". 39. The DECLARATI ON OF KARAZ S. ZAKI , CPA, employed by the "Commission", reveals a cursory review of ten bank accounts, identifying authority signatories, deposits and transfers, and a few specific focal transactions, including a few personal transfers, not including any salary paid to Mr. Lawler, since there was none. Just a vanilla summary of Case 1:14-cv-02468-AT Document 28 Filed 10/10/14 Page 20 of 28 sums, dates and select transactions. Al l of which were questioned and explained under oath by Mr. Lawler. 40. Clearly there were and are no grounds for restraint of funds, asset freeze or any other equitable relief The TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER, which was founded on mere supposition and void of any wrongdoing or factual evidence to support such extraordinary measures much less the allegations proffered by the Plaintiff, remains i n effect to date and should immediately be lifted. 41. Plaintiff and this Court have sorely infringed upon Defendant(s) First Amendment rights by ordering suppression of certain information and statements, orally or i n writing, statements of which have not been rebutted, have not been proven as not factual supported by any material fact to the contrary and thus stands as material fact. Certain statements and information that have been researched and made public for years and can be found i n many resources, publications and other websites. Yet the Defendants are suppressed and denied their First Amendment rights to speak on these matters. Are all those who have done their due diligence and communicate. Case 1:14-cv-02468-AT Document 28 Filed 10/10/14 Page 21 of 28 either written or verbally on these same matters to be suppressed as well? Are they all deemed fraudulent? 42. One can easily search the intemet and YouTube videos where thousands of resources may be found and explored, specific to the very information that we are being unduly restrained from sharing and in large part what these void "Fraud" charges are based upon. Al l , including Defendants' information, is provided for and is intended as information and education only, for those who choose to do their own research. 43. In the landmark case of Reno v. American Civil Liberties Union, 521 U.S. 844 the Supreme Court found, in summary, that the Intemet was a "protected" form of communication i n roughly the same way that a book was. It had the added benefit of additional protection, since it was an on-demand method of communication. 44. We are a Club that offers a great deal of information on many different topics, we implore those who are uneducated to do their own due diligence and findings of fact i n order to draw their own conclusions. However, suppression and denial of First Amendment rights is no doubt a serious matter. Case 1:14-cv-02468-AT Document 28 Filed 10/10/14 Page 22 of 28 SUMMARY 45. The Commission has no real interest in this matter and has not established good cause to continue. The allegations are void and without merit and standing and thus, as a matter of law, must be dismissed. It is clear that the Plaintiff moved this Court on assumption, without adequate findings of fact and in a most expedited manner, in concert wi t h the deprivation of the Defendant(s) to secure and provide adequate legal defense. The ability for the Defendant(s) to secure legal counsel at all has been denied and fiirther railroaded. The Court based its decision on a one sided, skewed story, unethical spin, contrived language and assumption, presented by the Plaintiff to fit their need. The story spun and the continuance of an action void of substantial evidence in support is a travesty. 46. In a trial last November, 2013, Judge Duffey, i n THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA ATLANTA DIVISION, rejected insider trading charges of a defendant who had a longtime friendship wi t h a chief executive. I n S.E.C. v. Schvacho, on January 7, 2014, the Court found for the Defendant because the SEC did not meet the burden of proof 23 Case 1:14-cv-02468-AT Document 28 Filed 10/10/14 Page 23 of 28 47. While the natures of the matters clearly differ, the law does not. The SEC failed to meet the burden of proof in this matter. 48. It is a Imown fact that the Commission did not enjoy a winning year i n 2014, wi t h several notable losses taking center stage and would look to put a winning feather in their cap. In one article published by Law360, New York on June 09, 2014, Thomas Gorman, former SEC trial counsel is quoted saying, " I f you don't have the facts, you don't have the facts". 49. In consideration of the overwhelming argument showing that the Plaintiff was unable to prove their claims and did not meet the burden of proof to establish a prima facie case, but was nothing more than a preponderance of one sided twisted bits of information spun into a palatable presentation to suit their needs, and as a matter of law, this action should be dismissed and the Plaintiff sanctioned for misuse of law and deceptive practices, at the very least. 50. As a fmal note, the Defendant(s) may never recover from the harm inflicted by this action. PRAYER FOR RE L I E F Defendant(s) seek the following relief Case 1:14-cv-02468-AT Document 28 Filed 10/10/14 Page 24 of 28 12.
