The Appellant respectfully informs the Court that due to the gravity of legal issues involving the
First Circuit Court of Appeals, the Judicial Council and matters including (but not limited to)
National Security, copies of this NOTICE are sent via email, social media and/or certified mail
to: The Executive Office of the President (EOP), the US Inspector - General Michael
Horowitz, US Attorney General - Jeff Sessions, members of the US Senate and House of
Investigation (FBI). A copy will also be made available to the Public. These parties are also
informed for documentation purposes, and out of concerns for personal safety/security.
The Appellant, Mohan A. Harihar, acting pro se, necessarily files with the Court this NOTICE,
upon receiving by US Mail delivered August 5, 2017, the PUBLISHED DECISION of the
Judicial Council (First Circuit Appeals Court). The Appellant, who on August 4, 2017 filed a
RESPONSE to the July 31, 2017 order, was unaware that the Judicial Council had ruled on
Now, after reviewing the six (6) page order in its entirety, there exists a published document
that not only RE-AFFIRMS the Appellants consistent claims of judicial misconduct, but shows
cause to bring incremental claims against the entire judicial council, and re-enforces the
A PARTIAL list of legal issues revealed in the issued order include the following:
1. As with the initial order issued by Chief Justice Howard, the Judicial Council uses
deceptive tactics to incorrectly re-write the narrative of the complaint, shifting the
focus on secondary issues, while ignoring primary issues and the specific details that
irrefutably support judicial misconduct claims. Anyone who reads through the order
no evidence of judicial misconduct exists. NOWHERE in the order does the Judicial
Council address any specifics of how the Appellant reached his conclusions on primary
issues.
2. Three (3) examples of PRIMARY ISSUES, where the details of the Appellants
argument are completely ignored include (but are not limited to) the following:
2
c. Evidenced TREASON claims under ARTICLE III.
3. The Judicial Council also makes NO REFERENCE to the Judge Burroughs SUA
HARIHAR v. THE UNITED STATES, DOCKET NO. 17-CV-11109, and its impact
to related order/judgements;
4. CONFLICT of INTEREST - The Judicial Council reviewing the petition includes two
(2) Circuit Judges and three (3) District Judges. Upon receiving the order issued by the
Judicial Council, it is revealed that BOTH assigned Circuit Judges TORUELLA and

The Appellants interpretation is that evidence supporting a deep-seated favoritism or
antagonism DOES exist here - in the District Court, the US Appeals Court and now as
evidenced by the Judicial Council of the First Circuit, making fair judgment in the First
Circuit impossible. It would appear (at least on its surface), that elements of
CORRUPTION may exist here and that an effort is being made now by EIGHT (8)
officers of the Court,1 to brush aside ALL EVIDENCED ALLEGATIONS in order to reach
The Appellant respectfully re-states the DEMAND for: RECUSAL, STAY of APPEAL,
is the Appellants interpretation of the law that Judges Torruella, Kayatta, Barron are considered
to have lost jurisdiction and are disqualified by law to rule further in this Appeal. Any orders
issued without jurisdiction will be considered as acts of TREASON to the Constitution under
ARTICLE III.

The Complainant/Plaintiff Mohan A. Harihar, respectfully
Prefaces this petition to ensure that the Judicial Council
is fully aware, that the referenced litigation proceeding in
the US District Court (Boston, MA) raises fully supported
allegations of both civil and criminal misconduct against
fourteen (14) Defendants, and additionally against the
United States.1 These clearly evidenced allegations include
(but are not limited to): Fraud upon the Court (Defendant
AND Judicial), Civil Conspiracy Claims, Color of Law
Violations, Civil/ Criminal RICO violations, Abuses of
Judicial Discretion, Violations to the Due Process Clause,
Violation(s) to Intellectual Property Rights and Federal
Tort Claims. The initial infractions stem from the US
Foreclosure/ Financial Crisis, arguably considered by many
(worldwide) as the largest case of FRAUD in the history of
the United States. Over nearly six (6) years of litigation,
evidence supporting the Plaintiffs consistent claims
continues to come forth, while also exposing evidenced
government misconduct/corruption at higher and higher levels
as time goes on.
6
Burroughs is baseless and non-cognizable. His opening
statement additionally acknowledges for the record (See
footnote no. 1 of his decision), that the four (4)
supplements to the original complaint have also been
reviewed. The Complainant respectfully disagrees with the
Chief Judges decision, and raises a number of glaring
concerns. To begin with, primary elements of the judicial
complaint are ignored entirely without a single mention,
including (but not limited to):
7
is important for the Council to note that the Plaintiff
has consistently maintained throughout these proceedings AND
in State Court(s), the existence of clouded title as it
relates (at minimum) to his illegal foreclosure.
Understanding these historical FACTS fully, brings a
scenario that can arguably be considered as a TEXTBOOK
case of Fraud upon the Court(s); showing clear cause to find
all Defendants in DEFAULT, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 60 (b)(3). In her order (reference Document No.
118), Judge Burroughs fails to address or even acknowledge
these clearly evident violations to FRCP 60(b)(3).1 By
choosing to ignore this violation to a Federal Rule, Judge
Burroughs has chosen NOT to support or uphold the Judicial
Machinery of the Court. ANY objective observer would
entertain reasonable questions about the judge's
impartiality, prejudice/bias against this Plaintiff, and
conclude that a fair and impartial hearing is unlikely.
Furthermore, when the language within an issued order
reveals that a Federal Rule of Civil Procedure has been
clearly ignored, the Complainant/Plaintiff believes that
ONLY one (1) (or combination) of the following conclusions
can be made:
A. That a Federal Judge has made a ruling on a Motion
without even reading the content of the Motion -
therefore the basis to question impartiality certainly
exists.
1
See Attachment C, Document No. 118, pages 52-53.
2See Attachment D, Document No. 122, pages 54-55.

corrupt and predetermined outcome. This Court should be
aware, that the Plaintiffs supported complaint clearly
calls into question, the integrity of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, including (but not limited to) the five-
year related history within its state judicial system.
Any failure to take corrective action here will certainly
question the integrity of this Court.
9
For clarification and documentation purposes, there are a
number of questions which MUST now be respectfully brought
to this Judicial Council and directly to Chief Justice
Howard including (but not limited to):
1. Is Chief Justice Howard stating for the record that
the Complainants clearly evidenced claim of
Judicial Fraud on the Court against Judge Allison D.
Burroughs is BASELESS? Please clarify further for
the record.
10
It is also important to for this Judicial Council to note,
that not a single one of the fourteen (14) Defendants,
INCLUDING the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and its former
Attorney General, have challenged the Complainants
allegation(s) of Judicial Fraud on the Court OR Call for
Recusal.
This Judicial Council need go no further - to make a clear
and accurate determination affirming judicial misconduct
here that includes Judicial Fraud, Prejudice/Bias and Acts
of Bad Faith. Sadly, there are additional concerns which
must be brought to the Councils immediate attention.
III. Treason to the Constitution
The Supreme Court has held that if a judge wars against the
Constitution, or if he acts without jurisdiction, he has
engaged in Treason to the Constitution. If a judge acts
after he has been automatically disqualified by law, then he
is acting without jurisdiction, and suggests that he is then
engaging in criminal acts of treason, and may be engaged in
extortion and the interference with interstate commerce.
Courts have repeatedly ruled that judges have no immunity
for their criminal acts. Since both treason and the
interference with interstate commerce are criminal acts, no
judge has immunity to engage in such acts.
In his judicial misconduct complaint, the Complainant has
shown multiple evidenced examples concluding that Judge
Burroughs is disqualified by law in the referenced
litigation. By issuing the order in Document No. 125, it is
interpreted that Judge Burroughs has now acted without
jurisdiction in a personal capacity, and not in the judges
judicial capacity. The Complainant therefore interprets the
Document No. 125 Order as a criminal act of Treason to
the Constitution, and an incremental act of Judicial
Misconduct. The Complainant believes that any additional
orders by Judge Burroughs in this matter will EACH be
interpreted as such.
A review of the record reveals that the pattern of corrupt
conduct has in fact continued, where Judge Burroughs has
continued to rule without jurisdiction, thus committing
three (3) incremental acts of Treason to the Constitution.
These incremental acts of judicial misconduct were brought
to the attention of Chief Justice Howard in four (4)
11
separate supplemental complaints filed with the First
Circuit Appellate Court.1
After reviewing the Order issued by Chief Justice Howard,
there is not even a single reference addressing jurisdiction
or Treason allegations. Instead, in the first paragraph of
his decision, Chief Justice Howard simply states, The
misconduct complaint is baseless and not cognizable. The
Chief Justice additionally attaches a footnote (1), which
reads, Complainant submitted additional documentation
subsequent to the original complaint, which has been
reviewed in conjunction with the original filing.
It becomes abundantly clear to this Complainant/Plaintiff,
that an effort has been made by the Chief Justice to
downplay and even ignore the severity of allegations clearly
evidenced against Judge Burroughs, including Treason to the
Constitution. If left uncorrected, it gives additional
reason(s) to question the integrity of the Chief Justice and
this First Circuit Appellate Court. It is also the
Complainants interpretation that these evidenced Treason
allegations are considered grounds for IMPEACHMENT, now
warranting a criminal investigation(s), and shows cause to
inform Congress, including the House Judiciary Committee.
The Complainant respectfully requests that the following
questions be answered for the record:
1. Is Chief Justice Howard stating for the record that
Judge Burroughs HAS NOT acted without jurisdiction
in the referenced litigation? Please Clarify for the
record.
2. Is Chief Justice Howard stating for the record that
the three (3) allegations of Treason to the
Constitution, brought against Judge Allison D.
Burroughs, are BASELESS AND NON-COGNIZABLE? Please
clarify further for the record.

given another example of his "appearance of partiality"
which, possibly, further disqualifies the judge. Should
another judge not accept the disqualification of the judge,
then the second judge has evidenced an "appearance of
partiality" and has possibly disqualified himself/herself.
None of the orders issued by any judge who has been
disqualified by law would appear to be valid. It would
appear that they are void as a matter of law, and are of no
legal force or effect. Should a judge not
disqualify himself, then the judge is in violation of the
Due Process Clause of the U.S. Constitution. United States
v. Sciuto, 521 F.2d 842, 845 (7th Cir. 1996) ("The right to
a tribunal free from bias or prejudice is based, not on
section 144, but on the Due Process Clause.").
Should a judge issue any order after he has been
disqualified by law, and if the party has been denied of any
of his / her property, then the judge may have been engaged
in the Federal Crime of "interference with interstate
commerce". The judge has acted in the judge's personal
capacity and not in the judge's judicial capacity. It has
been said that this judge, acting in this manner, has no
more lawful authority than someone's next-door neighbor
(provided that he is not a judge). However, some judges may
not follow the law. If you were a non-represented litigant,
and should the court not follow the law as to non-
represented litigants, then the judge has expressed an
"appearance of partiality" and, under the law, it would seem
that he/she has disqualified him/herself.
15
Judge Burroughs has denied this second call for recusal,
with NO CLARIFICATION).
16
The Plaintiff has consistently made clear that he is not an
attorney and has no legal background. The Factually
supported issues involved are too complex for the Plaintiff
to present entirely without the assistance of experienced
legal counsel. Experienced legal expertise is required in a
number of areas including (at minimum):
1. Real Estate/Foreclosure Law
2. Intellectual Property Rights associated with a National
Economic Plan
3. Litigation involving State and Federal Government
4. Federal Trial Court Litigation
5. The US Foreclosure/Financial Crisis
6. Judicial Misconduct
7. Violations to Due Process
8. Color of Law Violations
9. Civil Conspiracy Claims
10. Federal Tort Claims
1 The Complainant has already taken the legal steps to inform the
United States of his intention to file suit either separately or
through an amendment of the existing complaint. The Complainant

seek agreement, and awaits a decision.

appearance, realized the default, and made a
desperate effort and scramble to avoid
accountability. The Plaintiff views this action as
an absolute attempt by the Defendant to deceive
this court into believing that the Plaintiff was
negligent when in fact it was HARMON who was
grossly negligent.
3. Attorney McHugh has additionally made this attempt
to deceive the Court with an attached AFFIDAVIT.
The Plaintiff views this as a serious offense and
questions the Courts CLEAR FAILURE to hold the
Defendant accountable.
4. The Court(s) is already aware, that the Defendant
- Harmon Law Offices PC, as identified by the MA
Attorney Generals Office, is connected to 50,000
to 60,000 illegal foreclosures in the Commonwealth
alone. Harmon has been long under investigation by
the MA-AGO for foreclosure and eviction practices,
and has been directly tied to DISBARRED FL
Foreclosure Kingpin David Stern.
21
detailed 6-year history of this Complainants litigation,
will have clear understanding as to why that belief remains
strong today.
22
3. The Plaintiff would be unable to recognize and
call out misconduct by opposing counsel and/or
officers of the Court.
4. The Plaintiff would LIKELY over time, tire and
quit.
That has not occurred here. In fact, it has been just the
opposite. If anything, the six-year history of this
litigation has only brought more evidence to support the
Plaintiffs consistent legal claims; All while exposing the
corrupt conduct of government officials at higher and higher
levels. If left uncorrected here, evidenced corruption would
now appear to extend to the Chief Justice of the First
Circuit Appellate Court.
If a pro se litigant were to succeed here, there MAY also
exist a sense of EMBARRASSMENT, for opposing attorneys as
well as the presiding judge. Legal peers may question how
this could possibly have been ALLOWED to occur.
At this stage, there can be NO QUESTION that here, the
argument supporting Judicial Bias and/or Prejudice exists,
at least in part, as an improper judicial motive.
B. Potential Magnitude of Precedent Set The Court(s) is well-
aware, that the Plaintiffs civil complaint stems from the
evidenced misconduct associated with the US Foreclosure/
Financial Crisis. The Plaintiffs foreclosure was one (1) of
4.2M properties identified by both the Department of Justice
(DOJ) and the Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General,
as an ILLEGAL FORECLOSURE that (at minimum) DID NOT possess
CLEAR TITLE.
23
C. Plaintiffs Intellectual Property Rights Similarly, a
major component of the Plaintiffs Civil Claim involves
damages to his intellectual property (IP) rights, including
(but not limited to) an economic framework (the Harihar FCS
Model) designed by the Plaintiff to assist the United States
with economic repair and growth. Here, the Plaintiff has set
damages equivalent to less than 1% of the estimated IP
value, $42B (does not include the award of treble damages).
A ruling in favor of the Plaintiff would hold fifteen
parties responsible for these damages, including the United
States. An argument can certainly be made for improper
judicial motive and efforts to avoid accountability for
damages of this scale, and preventing the Plaintiff from
succeeding in his legal efforts. It is important to note
here that the legal efforts of the Complainant/Plaintiff
INCLUDE reaching a MUTUAL AGREEMENT with the United States.
The Plaintiff has extended an opportunity to the United
states to reach a mutual agreement, and is still awaiting an
answer.
24
whether there is ANY JUDICIAL CONNECTION to the Civil RICO
or Conspiracy claim(s) of the Plaintiff/Complainant.
The Plaintiff has ALSO exemplified and made the Court aware,
of the extensive EMAIL trail that supports his consistent
claims, and has been delivered to multiple government
officials, including:
25
4. The Department of Justice including
communications to the attention MA US Attorney
Carmen Ortiz;
5. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI -
Washington and Boston Offices) including
Assistant Director Andrew McCabe;
6. US Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) including the
review and recommendation made by the Senators
Senior Economic Advisor Bruno Freitas;
7. US Senator Ed Markey (D-MA)
8. MA Inspector General Glen Cunha
9. Governor Deval Patrick (Former, D-MA)
10. Governor Charlie Baker (R-MA)
11. Congresswoman Niki Tsongas (D-MA)
12. MA Attorney General Maura Healey (D-MA)
13. MA Attorney General (Former) Martha Coakley (D-
MA)
Its NO SECRET that Senator Warren for years has been, and
continues to be outspoken when talking to the Nation about
Wall Street Corruption, including the US Foreclosure Crisis.
It raises questions here however, where the Senator has
remained completely silent, and has blatantly IGNORED a
potential solution to the Foreclosure Crisis that would
deliver historic economic growth Even after it had been
recommended by her Senior Economic Advisor, Bruno Freitas.
The Deposition of Senator Warren is certainly warranted as
this legal process moves towards a jury trial, and to give
detailed explanation to many pending questions. Certainly,
26
as a Defendant in a $42B lawsuit, there is tremendous legal
and financial risk to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts if a
ruling were to be made in favor of the Defendant, Mohan A.
Harihar. There also could exist tremendous political risk,
if the public were to be made aware that Senator Warren
blatantly ignored an economic framework that would:
27
If Judge Burroughs is allowed to escape
accountability here, it would certainly provide a
path to WRONGFULLY DISMISSING the Plaintiffs
civil complaint;
5. Now, after reading the clarification of Chief
Justice Howard, and his decision to DISMISS this
judicial complaint, it appears (at least on its
surface) that judicial misconduct clearly extends
to the Chief Justice of this First Appellate
Court; thus playing a role in an unnecessary
judicial delay.
28
divulge her interpretation of the status quo. The result is
an evidenced Act of Bad Faith made by the United states
against this Plaintiff.
Based on her opinion and order denying injunctive relief, it
is firmly believed that Judge Burroughs has exemplified
prejudice against this Plaintiff, and again, has chosen NOT
to support or uphold the Judicial Machinery of the Court.
ANY objective observer would entertain reasonable questions
about the judge's impartiality, and conclude that a fair and
impartial hearing is unlikely.
29
presence of a court reporter. This clarification and
documentation is necessary for several reasons:
1. If a final judgement IS NOT found entirely IN
FAVOR of the Plaintiff, OR if a mutual agreement
IS NOT reached between ALL Parties INCLUDING the
United States, it may become necessary for the
Plaintiff to file an Appeal.
2. Based on the totality of evidenced misconduct
(alleged) that includes TREASON, a full, criminal
investigation is certainly warranted, and should
be immediately brought to the attention of the
House Judiciary Committee.
The request for a hearing was also made to address the Fraud
on the Court claim against fourteen (14) Defendants (Federal
Rule of Civil Procedure 60(B)(3). As a general proposition,
substantive misconduct provides grounds for default with
prejudice because it more clearly and directly subverts the
judicial process. The Plaintiff had respectfully called for
the Court to schedule the required evidentiary hearing to
determine whether the conduct forming the basis for
Defendants default was willful or done in bad faith or was
deliberate and in contumacious disregard of the courts
authority.
The decision by Judge Burroughs to ignore this clear
violation of a Federal Rule revealed her failure to uphold
the judicial machinery of the Court, thus bringing the
Judicial Fraud on the Court allegation.
X. Plaintiffs Personal Safety and Well-Being Concerns
30
these acts (alleged) the Plaintiff has, and will continue
to make these evidenced FACTS available to the PUBLIC,
including this legal petition.
The 4.2M parties who were similarly harmed and incurred
damages from an ILLEGAL FORECLOSURE certainly should be
forewarned that if they so choose to legally seek damages
resulting from an illegal foreclosure, they are likely to
face similar elements of misconduct, including (but not
limited to) government corruption, as exemplified throughout
this litigation.
When Federal Judges fail to uphold the judicial machinery of
the Court; When Federal and State prosecutors refuse to
prosecute fully supported criminal complaints; When Federal
and State Legislators ignore the supported complaints of
their constituents; and when the Head of the Executive
Branch of the United States ignores requests to assign a
special prosecutor: These historical and EVIDENCED FACTS
show clear cause for this Plaintiff, AND AT MINIMUM, ALL
THOSE NEGATIVELY IMPACTED BY THE FORECLOSURE CRISIS, to
lose faith in all three (3) branches of government. Still,
it remains the Plaintiffs sincere hope, that this faith
will ultimately be restored, there will be accountability,
and a mutual agreement will eventually be reached between
ALL parties.
XI. Conclusion
31
Federal Judiciary Branch of Government. It will certainly
exemplify a malicious intent to (at minimum): 1.) Critically
damage the legal efforts of this Plaintiff; 2.) Negatively
impact the resulting precedent set; and 3.) Ultimately
prevent the implementation of a framework designed to repair
and grow the United States Economy.
32
3. Bring this matter to the attention of the House
Judiciary Committee;
4. Bring this matter to the attention of the
Executive Office of the President (EOP), as a
special prosecutor is CLEARLY WARRANTED;
5. Update the Office of the United States
Inspector General.

_______
The Complainant, Mohan A. Harihar, respectfully files this supplemental complaint, to inform
this Court of additional allegations against Judge Allison D. Burroughs and collectively against
the United States, since the initial complaint was filed/received on August 24, 2016. It is the
Complainants understanding that the Honorable Chief Judge Howard and the Judicial Council
have access to the referenced, lower US District Court Docket file, in its entirety. To avoid
excessive repetition here, the Complainant respectfully requests that the Court review Documents

Reference Document No. 124 - Plaintiff Motion Addressing Violation(s) To Due Process
Clause, Color of Law Violations, Federal Tort Claims, and others; Document No. 125 Order

1. Treason to the Constitution- If a judge acts after he has been automatically disqualified
by law, then he is acting without jurisdiction, and that suggests that he is then engaging in
criminal acts of treason, and may be engaged in extortion and the interference with
interstate commerce. Here, the Complainant has alleged that Judge Burroughs is
disqualified by law. By issuing the order in Document No. 125, it is interpreted that Judge
Burroughs has now acted without jurisdiction in a personal capacity, and not in the
judges judicial capacity. The Supreme Court has held that if a judge wars against the
Constitution. The Complainant therefore interprets the Document No. 125 Order as an
act of Treason to the Constitution, and an incremental act of Judicial Misconduct. The
Complainant believes that any additional orders by Judge Burroughs in this matter will

Burroughs raises questions of her ability to be impartial here. Allegations against the
United States and the Commonwealth include (but are not limited to): documented Civil
RICO claims, improper relationships, and Collusion. At minimum, the Judges prior
roles serving as the Assistant U.S. Attorney in Boston, including several years in the
Economic Crimes Unit in Boston, are believed to constitute a conflict of interest here.

The Complainant, Mohan A. Harihar, respectfully files this second supplemental complaint, and
to inform this Judicial Council that an Emergency Motion has been filed with the referenced
Docket (15-cv-11880, Document No. 128). The Complainant/Plaintiff seeks reimbursement for
costs and fees from the United States, for acts made against him in BAD FAITH. 1
The Plaintiff has alleged that Judge Burroughs is disqualified by law, and therefore does NOT
expect Judge Burroughs to rule on said Motion. The Plaintiff also understands that decisions are
still pending before this Council as it relates to Judicial Misconduct and resulting bad faith acts
committed by the United States. The immediate concern is the resulting increased hardships now
faced by the Plaintiff, showing cause to file an Emergency Motion with the US District Court.

A copy of the referenced Emergency Motion, filed with the U.S. District Court is attached (See
Attachment A).

The second concern is understanding the United States position with regard to seeking a mutual

Docket Text:
Judge Allison D. Burroughs: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. The Emergency
Motion for Bill of Costs and Fees for Bad Faith by the United States [ECF No.
128] is DENIED without prejudice. Plaintiff moves for an order under 28 U.S.C
2412 that the U.S. Government pay Plaintiffs interim housing costs,
transportation costs, and legal fees for time he has spent on this action. [ECF
No. 128]. Section 2412 allows a prevailing party to recover fees and expenses
incurred in a civil action against the United States. Schock v. United States,
254 F.3d 1, 4 (1st Cir. 2001) (emphasis added). An individual is a prevailing
party [i]f the plaintiff has succeeded on any significant issue in litigation

in the midst of litigating the suit and has not obtained any favorable judgment
that would entitle him to fees and expenses under 2412. Accordingly,
Plaintiffs motion is denied without prejudice. (Folan, Karen)

______________________________________________________________________________
_______
The Plaintiff/Complainant, Mohan A. Harihar, respectfully and necessarily files this FOURTH
misconduct against - Judge Allison D. Burroughs. This troublesome and continuing pattern of
corrupt conduct is realized following the issued order associated with Document No. 133 of the
referenced Docket.1 The Plaintiff has since filed a response to the Order (reference Document No.
134).2 By issuing the Document No. 133 ORDER, it becomes increasingly clear to this
Plaintiff/Complainant, that presiding United States District Court Judge - Allison D. Burroughs
continues to exemplify a malicious intent to (at minimum): 1.) Critically damage the legal
1
See Attachment A
2
See Attachment B
102
efforts of this Plaintiff; 2.) Negatively impact the resulting precedent set; and 3.) Ultimately prevent
the implementation of a framework designed to repair and grow the United States Economy.
Since filing the initial complaint with the Court on May 21, 2015, the Plaintiff has necessarily
brought a number of judicial misconduct allegations against the presiding judge Allison D.
Burroughs. These supported allegations are all on record with this US District Court, and are also
before this Judicial Council of the First Circuit. Evidenced allegations raised by the Plaintiff
including (but not limited to) the Plaintiffs Intellectual Property Rights, and the
Economic framework designed to assist the United States with economic recovery/growth
10. Refusal to schedule a hearing(s) for clarification and documentation purposes for the
record, in the event it becomes necessary for the Plaintiff to file an appeal;
11. TREASON against the Constitution of the United States (three alleged acts);
1
The Intellectual Property Rights of the Plaintiff include, (but are not limited) to the Harihar
FCS Model an economic framework recognized by the Executive Office of the President
(EOP) including Vice President Joe Biden, the (former) Deputy Chief Counsel of the House
Financial Services Committee Gail Laster, Senior Economic advisor to US Senator
Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), the Congressional Office of Congresswoman Niki Tsongas (D-
MA), and others.
103
12. Refusal to recuse.
Judge Burroughs has thus far refused to recuse herself, and has made no effort to address, dispute
or deny any of the supported allegations exemplifying judicial misconduct, including Treason.
CONCLUSION
With the filed response to Document No. 133, the Plaintiff/Complainant has for a SECOND time,
Allison D. Burroughs. If this demand is again refused (or ignored) by Judge Burroughs, the
Plaintiff will proceed with next steps in bringing this matter to the attention of the House

133
By now, it SHOULD be clearly evident to ANY objective observer,
that NOT ONLY is a fair and impartial trial UNLIKELY, but it
becomes ABSOLUTELY clear that - a United States District Court
Judge is willing to commit multiple acts of Treason to prevent
this Plaintiff from ever arriving at a jury trial. As with prior
orders called into question, the Complainant respectfully filed a
REPLY to the order associated with Document No. 137.1 It would
seem (at least on its surface) that the District Court has AGAIN
ignored the Plaintiffs REPLY. The Complainant also respectfully
reminds this Council that this litigation, initiated in MAY 2015,
is now approaching ten (10) months WITHOUT a move to the
Discovery phase. Unnecessary judicial delay is irrefutable.
Second, EVEN IF there was jurisdiction, the decision to issue the
referenced order DENYING REIMBURSEMENT FOR COSTS AND FEES is
considered an incremental ACT of BAD FAITH, committed by the
United States against this Plaintiff.
These evidenced actions by an officer of the Court show a
deliberate effort by the UNITED STATES to ensure that a
continued, and increasing HARDSHIP to the Plaintiff continues.
The Court SHOULD have directed the Treasury Department to issue
the requested reimbursement on or before January 14, 2017. The
Complainant, whom the Court acknowledged as indigent, intended to
use a portion of the reimbursement to address variables
responsible for the increased hardship i.e. repaying overdue
taxes due to the United States and the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. Instead, the Complainant has now been made aware
that TAX LIENS have been filed against him, by the United States
and the Commonwealth.
The Complainant understands that his filed Judicial Misconduct
Petition is currently under review with the Judicial Council.
While the Complainant certainly respects the legal process and
the MANY issues to address, the continued Acts of Bad Faith
clearly evidenced by Judge Burroughs, warrant (at minimum) the
following IMMEDIATE actions by this Council:
1. VALIDATE - this referenced, and continued Act of Bad Faith
as it applies to Document No. 137 and the Reimbursement of
Costs and Fees due to the Plaintiff;
2. AUTHORIZE - the Department of the Treasury (either directly
or via the District Court) to issue timely payment to the
134
Plaintiff/Complainant in the amount of $11,949,420 for the
referenced costs and fees on or before April 1, 2017.1
3. PROVIDE the Complainant with an ANSWER, as to whether or
not the United States has interest in reaching a mutual
agreement in this legal matter.

As an American citizen, and documented as part of the record, I am respectfully reporting to your direct
attention - evidenced allegations of: TREASON under Article III of the US Constitution, and ECONOMIC
ESPIONAGE, pursuant to 18 U.S. Code 1832, against US District Court Judge - Allison Dale
Burroughs. As you are already aware, a Judicial Misconduct Petition filed against Judge Burroughs
is currently under review by the Judicial Council (First Circuit). With these latest allegations, a second

review. Please be advised, since claims of misconduct have been made against the United States, the
actual second supplement filed with the Judicial Council will additionally include a copy of this

is also made available to the Public.
The evidenced allegations of Treason and Economic Espionage against Judge Burroughs shows cause to
expand already existing claims against the United States that include (but are not limited to): Violations
to Due process, Color of Law Violations, Abuse of Process, and Federal Tort claims. These
allegations show the UNDENIABLE need for assistance with the appointment of counsel, as requested by
the Plaintiff (and repeatedly DENIED).
When I began this legal journey, I knew it would likely be a long road, and quite possibly a dangerous one.
The evidenced corruption exposed in this litigation confirms what many Americans already believe to be
true. Successfully validating these claims in a court of law is necessary to ensure a continued FAITH in
our justice system. Any failure to do so exposes (in part) a corrupt judicial system of historic
proportion. For obvious reasons, I fear for my safety and well-being. Documenting this legal journey and
making it available to the public is done to raise awareness, and for safety/security purposes.
Mr. President - at this time I respectfully request your assistance with the following:
1. As the head of the Executive Branch of Government, APPROVING the requested assignment of a
Special Prosecutor to the referenced litigation. Sadly, prior requests delivered to the attention of
former AG Loretta Lynch and President Obama were seemingly IGNORED;
2. Providing an ANSWER, whether or not the United States has interest in reaching a MUTUAL
AGREEMENT with the Plaintiff in the referenced litigation.
3. Gaining ALIGNMENT with the United States as it pertains to the POTENTIAL implementation of
the referenced Intellectual Property. Successful implementation of such an economic framework
would provide incremental avenues to pay for at minimum (and in their entirety), high-priority
agenda topics (i.e., both infrastructure, and also the border wall). I remain hopeful that justice here
will ultimately prevail, and that this communication(s) leads to having further discussion of the
FCS Model.

The Law of Void Judgments and Decisions
Supreme Court Decisions on Void Orders
A judgment may not be rendered in violation of constitutional protections. The validity of a
judgment may be affected by a failure to give the constitutionally required due process notice
and an opportunity to be heard. Earle v. McVeigh, 91 US 503, 23 L Ed 398. See also
Restatements, Judgments ' 4(b). Prather vLoyd, 86 Idaho 45, 382 P2d 910.
The limitations inherent in the requirements of due process and equal protection of the law
extend to judicial as well as political branches of government, so that a judgment may not be
rendered in violation of those constitutional limitations and guarantees. Hanson v Denckla,
357 US 235, 2 L Ed 2d 1283, 78 S Ct 1228.
A void judgment is not entitled to the respect accorded a valid adjudication, but may be entirely
disregarded, or declared inoperative by any tribunal in which effect is sought to be given to it.
It is attended by none of the consequences of a valid adjudication. It has no legal or binding
force or efficacy for any purpose or at any place. ... It is not entitled to enforcement ... All
proceedings founded on the void judgment are themselves regarded as invalid. 30A Am Jur
Judgments '' 44, 45.
Every person is entitled to an opportunity to be heard in a court of law upon every question
involving his rights or interests, before he is affected by any judicial decision on the question.
Earle v McVeigh, 91 US 503, 23 L Ed 398.
No Opportunity to Be Heard
A judgment of a court without hearing the party or giving him an opportunity to be heard is not
a judicial determination of his rights. Sabariego v Maverick, 124 US 261, 31 L Ed 430, 8 S
Ct 461, and is not entitled to respect in any other tribunal.
"A void judgment does not create any binding obligation. Federal decisions addressing void

370; Ex parte Rowland (1882) 104 U.S. 604, 26 L.Ed.
861:
"A judgment which is void upon its face, and which requires only an inspection of the judgment
roll to demonstrate its wants of vitality is a dead limb upon the judicial tree, which should be
lopped off, if the power to do so exists." People v. Greene, 71 Cal. 100 [16 Pac. 197, 5 Am.
St. Rep. 448]. "If a court grants relief, which under the circumstances it hasn't any authority
225
to grant, its judgment is to that extent void." (1Freeman on Judgments, 120c.) An illegal order
is forever void.
Orders Exceeding Jurisdiction
An order that exceeds the jurisdiction of the court is void, and can be attacked in any
proceeding in any court where the validity of the judgment comes into issue. (See Rose v.
Himely (1808) 4 Cranch 241, 2 L ed 608; Pennoyer v. Neff (1877) 95 US 714, 24 L ed 565;
Thompson v. Whitman (1873) 18 Wall 457, 21 l ED 897; Windsor v. McVeigh (1876) 93
US 274, 23 L ed 914; McDonald v. Mabee (1917) 243 US 90, 37 Sct 343, 61 L ed 608.
"If a court grants relief, which under the circumstances it hasn't any authority to grant, its
judgment is to that extent void." (1 Freeman on Judgments, 120c.) "A void judgment is no
judgment at all and is without legal effect." (Jordon v. Gilligan, 500 F.2d 701, 710 (6th Cir.
1974) "a court must vacate any judgment entered in excess of its jurisdiction." (Lubben v.
Selective Service System Local Bd. No. 27, 453 F.2d 645 (1st Cir. 1972).
A void judgment does not create any binding obligation. Federal decisions addressing void
state court judgments include Kalb v. Feuerstein (1940) 308 US 433, 60 S Ct 343, 84 L ed
370. Federal judges issued orders permanently barring
Stich from filing any papers in federal courts. After Judges Robert Jones and Edward Jellen
corruptly seized and started to liquidate Stich's assets, Judge Jones issued an unconstitutional
order barring Stich from filing any objection to the seizure and liquidation.

OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT
No. 01-16-90033
BEFORE
Torruella and Kayatta, Circuit Judges
Laplante, McConnell, and Levy, District Judges
ORDER
Petitioner, a pro se litigant, has filed a petition for review of Chief Judge Howard's
order dismissing his complaint, under 28 U.S.C. 351 (a), against a First Circuit district
judge. Petitioner alleged that the judge was biased against him while presiding over his
civil case. Chief Judge Howard dismissed the complaint as baseless and not cognizable.
In the original complaint, petitioner asserted that the judge was disqualified from
presiding over his case because of the judge's former employment. Petitioner alleged that
the judge wrongfully denied a number of petitioner's motions and that the judge's denial of
his first motion to recuse demonstrated that the judge either did not read the motion,
suffered from "mental illness," or acted out of prejudice against petitioner. Petitioner
227
requested that the judge recuse from the case, that he be afforded a hearing before a
difTcrent judge, and that the Judicial Council assist petitioner with settling the underlying
litigation.
In dismissing the misconduct complaint, Chief Judge Howard first explained that
the judicial misconduct procedure does not provide an avenue for obtaining an order in a
pending or closed case. See 28 U.S.C. SS 351, el seq., and Rules for Judicial-Conduct
and disability as baseless. The Chief Judge observed that, in addition to filing a civil
complaint, petitioner filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP), a motion for
appointment of counsel, and motions for injunctive relief. In a memorandum and order,
the judge denied the requests for injunctive relief for failure to show a likelihood of
success on the merits, and denied the IFP motion and motion for appointment of counsel,
without prejudice.
Chief Judge Howard further observed that the judge issued a number of other
rulings in which the court consistently provided thorough explanations for its
determinations. These included allowing petitioner's requests for extensions of time and
several defendants' motions to dismiss, and denying petitioner's repeated requests for

Shortly thereafter, petitioner filed his first motion for recusal, which the judge
petitioner filed numerous additional requests to disqualify the judge, for appointment of
counsel, and for injunctive relief, each of which the judge denied.

the judge either failed to read petitioner's motions, suffers from "mental illness," or acted
out of prejudice. Petitioner suggests that the judge was improperly motivated to protect the
interests of financial institutions and the senator who allegedly recommended the judge for
nomination, and to harm petitioner based on his pro se status. Petitioner further alleges that
the judge's rulings, some of which have issued since the dismissal of the original
misconduct complaint, amount to fraud upon the court, treason, and due process violations.

Petitioner further alleges that all of the court's rulings are void because the judge is
disqualified. Petitioner adds that the judge wrongly delayed petitioner's case.
Petitioner also alleges that Chief Judge Howard's dismissal of his misconduct

Council's assistance with settling petitioner's underlying case. Petitioner asks for an

The rulings to which petitioner objects include the judge's failure to recuse, dismissal of the case, denial of
petitioners requests for bill of costs, and grant of petitioner's motion for leave to appeal IFP (while declining to
determine whether the appeal was made in good faith).
230
As an initial matter, the judicial misconduct procedure does not provide an avenue
for affording relief in a pending or closed case, including assistance with litigation, or the
removal of a judge where, as here, the complaint did not warrant the appointment of a
special committee. See 28 U.S.C. 351, el seq., and Rules of Judicial-Conduct, Rules I l ,
19, and 20. Cf., Rules of Judicial-Conduct, Rule 20(b)(2) (providing for referral of a
misconduct complaint to the Judicial Conference where, after the appointment of a special
committee, a judicial council "determines that a . . . judge may have engaged in conduct
Moreover, the petition for review is meritless and offers no information that would
undermine Chief Judge Howard's determinations, let alone suggest that the Chief Judge
was biased or disabled in connection with his review of the complaint. See Commentary
to Rules of Judicial-Conduct, Rule 3 ("Any allegation that calls into question the
conflict of interest, disability, or other wrongdoing by the district judge. The court's
rulings, including those issued since dismissal of the original misconduct complaint, see
n. l , supra, supply reasons for each of the courtl s determinations. Further, neither the
judge's former employment, a senator's purported recommendation of the judge, nor any

other available information demonstrates a conflict of interest, requires the judge's
disqualification, or evidences misconduct. See Code of Conduct for United States Judges,
Because petitioner failed to present any evidence of improper judicial motive, his
objections to the judge's orders in his case were properly dismissed as not cognizable.
The same is true for petitioner's allegations that the district judge and Chief Judge
