     Rodarte/con                only       ask      the     Fourth          Court       Of    Appeals/that/when                      it       comes

to    suspending                the       judgement/and                issues          of    securities/that                   Rodarte          is

not       the       debtor/but             the      creditor.

     The       arguments             are    quite          clear/concerning                   continuing             litigation                of

tort       claims/due                to    the      discovery              of    defendants'neglect                      to    treat       and

father.             And   being           that       the    majority/if                not    all    of    the       justices             are

women/Rodarte                   pleads/not             only       to       their       legal       and    judicial             position/

but       as    a    parentta             legal       guardian             so    to    speak/in          that       can       the   justices

even       begin          to    fathom          what       Rodarte's             sons       must    have    had          to   endure          ever

since          1995       to    present?            While        the       justices/may             not    be       able       to   take

as    a    personal             level/any             injury          to    Rodarte's          sons/on          a    legal          aspect

accordingly                by    law.

     As    Rodarte             states          in    his    brief/it             is    quite       questionable/as                   to       why

it    comes       to    failing             to maintain          integrity.             Therefore/the system has
to    be    suspect          and       found       the    culprit/this             is   why    the    system must               de

fend       itself/no matter what                         the cost,or             to who and         accept      responsibil

ity by       simply owning                   up    to    their mistakes and not                     using      the    law or

their constituents                      to use          the law      to avoid           their day         in   court       and

be    held       liable.          The       system/may          ask why Rodarte               can    state      such.       It

is quite          simple/John Jr.and                      Hawke,were             injured      at    the    hands      of    those

that       the    system was                set    into       action    by       the state/and            failed      to pro

tect       them as          the       records       and       evidence will             show/the syatem had                 an

agenda/that did                   not       follow protocol/otherwise John Jr.and Hawke

Rodarte would have had                            to endure the abuse                   they stated when              they
were       just young children and live where the abuse occurred/and the
system       allowed             it    and    protected           it/or      adored       such      abuse.
