Some practical advice for support contemnors in the State of Washington
A Way to Walk a Mile in a Noncustodial Parent's Moccasins.
This is the Web Page upon which I list the internal links to the briefs and pleadings in the 42 U.S.C. §1983 and 42 U.S.C. §1994 lawsuit I filed after the Washington State Patrol forced me out of my car 16 miles east of Seattle and left me stranded at about midnight between a Sunday and a Monday in Issaquah.
Judge Coughenour brought out his Order to Show Cause why the case should not be dismissed on Younger abstention doctrine.
So I filed my Plaintiff's Response to Order to Show Cause
Subsequently, I filed the Plaintiff's Supplement to Response to Order to Show Cause and my Declaration informing the federal court of my VICTORY in King County Superior Court.
Judge Coughenour dismissed this case with an Order of Dismissal relying heavily upon the Order entered by Judge Lasnik in Knight v. City of Mercer Island, W.D. Wash. No. C02-879L. For some reason, it was never placed on the PACER service for the district court.
So I timely filed My Plaintiff's Motion to Amend Judgment, FRCP 59, or for New Trial, FRCP 59. I noted it for December 13, 2002. However, to the best of my knowledge, there has not been any response filed by the State Officer defendants (represented by the Attorney General's Office). Western District of Washington Local Civil Rule 7(b)(4) provides that the court may take that as an admission that the motion could not have been opposed in good faith.
But then, Judge Coughenour essentially said: "So what?" with his Order denying my motion to amend judgment or for new trial.
So its on to the Ninth Circuit. My Brief of Appellant. It's a doozer.
The State Officers have filed their Brief of Appellees State Defendants. Therefore, I filed my Reply Brief of Appellant.
Decided by a fast unpublished Memorandum decision filed on June 18, 2003.
Which necessitated my Petition for Rehearing with Suggestion for Rehearing En Banc and to Publish Opinion.
