--------- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE---------

October 29, 2010, New Hartford, NY - Oneida County and the Town of New Hartford were
named today in a formal claim filed by civil rights advocate Leon R. Koziol. The lawsuit notice
states that government agents escorted by armed police converged upon Mr. Koziol’s private
residence in a swat-like assault for the purpose of seizing his personal property without any legal
authority. The warrant and levy provided him at his New Hartford home limited police and
official authority to a Utica location only. In addition, the seizure of vehicles was executed
contrary to a court order by agreement between the parents in an ongoing domestic relations case
before a state Supreme Court judge in August, 2010. The claim seeks recovery for damages
sustained from a joint scheme of processes by government actors designed to harm and discredit
Mr. Koziol’s public and professional campaign against discriminatory and abusive practices in
domestic relations courts. Mr. Koziol has repeatedly described these practices as a “multi-billion
dollar child control industry” corroborated here by the direct involvement of the state tax
department.
