History: This message has been replied to.

Jack knew I was homeless, as did you, when I was the only one who would do anything.

Jack also knew for nearly a year that I did not feel I could do much, particularly after there

was conflating of two federal matters (one my own and Jack's matter) such that I felt his

case was jeopardized and

you were asked to assist more than a year before it came to this.

Do you really want everything to come out through witnesses? There is a real possibility

this will not be to Jack's benefit and merely based in rage and an attempt to get back at me

for not doing what he wanted when he wanted knowing I was unable to continue.

I did file as amicus to protect his case.

I am ready for whatever Jack does as he has a penchant to be demanding of his way

despite the fact that I tried to work with him until I was quite destitute.

The fact remains that when Jack said he couldn't pay you any more, you abandoned his

case and if I hadn't stepped in, it would have been dismissed. I just spoke with Jack and

he said he has many witnesses to your behavior. The quality of your pleadings speaks

for itself ­ I have never seen such blatantly inferior work. Jack is ready to make a

complaint to the state bar. I told him to hold off until after the hearing but now I might

tell him to go ahead and file it.

By the way, you did not bring a cause of action for excessive force in the complaint.

I will attempt to be present on 29th to answer your charges and present

that I did bring this issue up and the settlement should be reviewed based

upon this new decision by USSC. I am quite willing to reveal the truth

around this matter.

I do not believe you have been candid with me nor the Court.
