1:16-cv-00100-NT
Page 2 of 68
PageID #: 44
This tortious punitive conspiracy began as a result of GinAs known disability

which was the sole basis for an unlawful license suspension for GinAs alleged
incompetence to safely operate an automobile under 29-A MRSA 2458(2(D)
despite GinA having earned three years safe driving credits for years 2008, 2009
and 2010 which has perpetually motivated GinA to stand on her lawful rights to
travel without a license, to redress her grievances with her government, to have
equal and fair access to the courts, to receive reasonable accommodations for her
disability, to be heard, to speak, to not speak, to attend hearings, to enjoy due
process of law, inter alia.
William Stokes wrongfully acted in multiple capacities during the events
outlined in this complaint, as: (1) Chief Deputy Attorney General for State of Maine
Attorney Generals office, (2) Mayor for City of Augusta, who is the chief law
enforcement officer for City of Augusta Police Department with full administrative
control over All_Police Officers, administrative employees and departments, and
(3) as a viable candidate for a promotion to a judicial position, and (4) and
individual who would benefit by being able to afford a $100,000.00 home equity loan
when most of his public constituents are in, at or near homelessness or bankruptcy,
none of which he disclosed to the public in any type of recorded event, all of which
breach his duties of trust and public service under 5 CFR 2635.101(1) Public
service is a public trust, requiring employees to place loyalty to the Constitution, the
laws and ethical principles above private gain. (2) Employees shall not hold
financial interests that conflict with the conscientious performance of duty.(3)
Employees shall not engage in financial transactions using nonpublic Government
information or allow the improper use of such information to further any private
interest.
Matthew Pouliot wrongfully acted in multiple capacities during the events
outlined in this complaint, some capacities did not overlap whereas other capacities
overlapped and conflicted with each other, none of which he disclosed to the public
in any type of recorded event, all of which breach his duties of trust and public
service as outlined above, as: (1) member of the State House of Representative
1:16-cv-00100-NT
Page 3 of 68
PageID #: 45
(126th) for part of District 86 including 32 Court Street, all of Perham Street, 14
Winthrop Court (which was Matthew Pouliots personal home during most of these
events and which is now owned by Matthew Pouliots real estate agency Alliance
Properties LLC with a parcel summary value of $99,000.00) and 99 Winthrop Street
(which is Matthew Pouliots current personal home as of June 2015 which he bought
for $77,000.00 with a clear title, a recorded land patent and historical designation),
(2) Vice Chair of the City of Augusta Planning Board from 2011 through 2014, (3)
Board Director for Augusta Housing Services Corporation (a 501(c)(3) agency
created by Augusta Housing Authority which has more than $300,000.00 assets), (4)
a licensed realtor, (5) as a viable candidate for re-election to the State House of
Representatives (127th) for part of District 86 , and (6) an individual.
GinAs federal constitutional, civil and fair housing rights have been grossly
violated based on one or many discriminatory reasons, because she is (1) female, (2)
disabled, (3) low income, and (4) a member of a protected homeless class in Maine.
GinA respectfully moves this court to order declaratory, monetary, injunctive
and equitable relief for Defendants premeditated conspiracy in their individual and
official capacities as public servants and government agents for the State of Maine
Judicial Branch and City of Augusta as well as all proper punitive damages.
Each and every Defendant, individually and jointly, conspired to violate and
did in fact violate GinAs federal civil rights as a disabled low income homeless
woman under color of state laws as described in this complaint to have equal rights
to speak, to not speak, to be heard, to make fair terms and enforce rental contracts
for her constitutionally protected property interest in Unit 1 at 32 Court Street
Augusta, to have equal access to public information about 32 Court Street that
directly impacts her life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, to have peaceful
enjoyment of her home at 239 Cony Street, 3 Washington Street Place, and 32 Court
Street, to be free from governmental intrusions on her right to exchange
information, to be free from being forced to testify at fraudulent eviction trials
enforced by courts and public servants who would be acting in a complete absence of
all jurisdiction, and to enjoy full and equal benefit of all laws and proceedings for
1:16-cv-00100-NT
Page 4 of 68
PageID #: 46
the security of GinAs person and property as a disabled, low income homeless white
woman, inter alia, for purposes of Defendants concealing their official public acts as
GinA aptly alleged and supported by public records referenced in the companion
case 1:16-cv-00095-NT, GinA v. Leigh Saufley for construction of a Capital Judicial
Center and its parking lots at 32 Court Street, Augusta.
All Defendants named herein knew or had reason to know that Leigh Saufley
et al would be acting in complete absence of all jurisdiction during all judicial
proceedings for all evictions at 32 Court Street in August, September and October
2014 as alleged in the companion case 1:16-cv-00095-NT, GinA v. Leigh Saufley for
purposes of razing 32 Court Street to build a parking lot for the Capital Judicial
Center at GinAs and Maine taxpayers expense.

in an amount exceeding $140,000.00 of Maine taxpayers money.

PageID #: 51
City of Augusta, Stokes, Bridgeo and Nazar are jointly officially responsible
for all official actions performed by Keith Luke, Deputy Director of Development
Services, who directly communicated with Greg Roy about City of Augustas offer to
purchase 32 Court Street on behalf of Maine Governmental Facilities Authority and
Maine Judicial Branch to build the courthouse parking lot.
Greg Roy is a Maine licensed real estate broker who is educated and trained
to protect the public from all unsafe, hazardous and unfit properties and who
personally owned and acted as landlord and real estate broker for 32 Court Street
Augusta.
Greg Roy was quoted in a January 27, 2013 Kennebec Journal article saying
the courthouse construction project was making the living conditions unhappy at
32 Court Street and his former tenant Shannon Perkins publicly described living
conditions as insanely noisy due to the constant racket of the nearby courthouse
construction project.
Nazar authorized his code enforcement officer to shut down 32 Court Street
in March 2013 after telling Greg Roy the property was unfit to be occupied and all
occupancy was prohibited until he made certain repairs and improvements in
compliance with life safety codes.
Nazar formally approved an occupancy permit for Unit 1, 32 Court Street in
January 2014 after Greg Roy made certain repairs and improvements.

2014 with a neutral witness at which time GinA expressly specified that she was

email and telephone regarding GinA applying to live at Unit 1, 32 Court Street at
which time GinA was given official approval by the code enforcement officer that
Unit 1, 32 Court Street was safe, decent and approved to be occupied.
1:16-cv-00100-NT
Page 10 of 68
PageID #: 52
Nazars code enforcement officer failed to inform GinA on January 13, 2014
that Defendants intended to raze the property for a courthouse parking lot.
Nazars code enforcement officers official approval that Unit 1, 32 Court
Street was safe, decent and approved to be occupied directly caused GinA to
communicate and sign a rental contract with Defendant Greg Roy on January 22,
2014 for Unit 1, 32 Court Street.
Greg Roy defrauded GinA to enter an at will rental contract without telling
GinA the property was going to be sold to City of Augusta within a few months on
behalf of Maine Judicial Branch. (See KEN-CV-14-176 and GinA v. Leigh Saufley)
Greg Roy defrauded GinA to enter an at will rental contract without alerting
GinA that the insanely noisy environment and other disruptions from the
construction project at 32 Court Street made the living conditions unhappy and
severely injuring former tenants by causing them to suffer emotional and physical
distress and financial damages by being forced to move to a different residence to
remedy or avoid damage caused by construction disturbances.
IV.
CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY BACKGROUND
On April 11, 1968, Congress declared their commitment in Pub. L. 90-284,

title VIII, 801, 82 Stat. 81., to providefor fair housing throughout the United
States by codifying their policy under 42 USC 3601 stating, It is the policy of the
United States to provide, within constitutional limitations, for fair housing
throughout the United States. Pub. L. 100-430, 12, Sept. 13, 1988, 102 Stat. 1636,
provided that: Nothing in the Fair Housing Act [this subchapter] as amended by
this Actlimits any right, procedure, or remedy available under the Constitution or
any other Act of the Congress not so amended.
Effective March 13, 1989 Congress amended the Fair Housing Act of 1968 to
give equal protection to people based on familial status and those having or thought
to have physical or mental disabilities, more commonly known as the Fair Housing
Amendments Act of 1988, codified in 42 USC 3604 which outlaws Discrimination
in the rental of housing and other prohibited practices, specifically under (f)(1)(A)
To discriminate in the rental, or to otherwise make unavailable or deny, a
1:16-cv-00100-NT
Page 11 of 68
PageID #: 53
dwelling to any renter because of a handicap of that renter and under (f)(2)(A)
To discriminate against any person in the terms, conditions, or privileges of rental
of a dwelling, or in the provision of services or facilities in connection with such
dwelling, because of a handicap of that person
The Supreme Court consistently prohibits discrimination based on a persons
disability by every individual, entity and agency who deals with all areas connected
with residential housing.
When Congress prohibited housing discrimination based on a disability, they
also outlawed interference, coercion or intimidation with the enjoyment or exercise
of any fair housing rights as codified under 42 USC 3617 which says, It shall be
unlawful to coerce, intimidate, threaten, or interfere with any person in the exercise
or enjoyment ofany right granted or protected by section 3604 of this title.
Embedded within those federal fair housing rights is the intrinsic federal
right to freedom of religion, press and expression as secured by the 1st Amendment
to the Constitution, which extends to all federal , state, county, local governments
and their official agents Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of
speech or of the press;.
42 USC 1981(a) Statement of equal rights was originally enacted to protect
people in minority groups from being discriminated against because of their race,
color, ethnicity or nationality, but 1981 certainly did not intend to exclude white
people from enjoying the same equal rights that minorities are guaranteed to have,
All persons within the jurisdiction of the United States shall have the same right in
every State to make and enforce contracts, to sue, be parties, give evidence, and to
the full and equal benefit of all laws and proceedings for the security of persons and
property as is enjoyed by white citizens
42 USC 1981 cannot be used to prevent white people from enjoying equal
protection of their federal civil rights because that application of the law would be a
case of reverse discrimination by prohibiting a white person from utilizing a federal
statute that explicitly guarantees the same rightas is enjoyed by white citizens
1:16-cv-00100-NT
Page 12 of 68
PageID #: 54
which did not intend to prohibit white citizens from enjoying the same protections
as other white citizens notwithstanding membership in any other protected class.
42 USC 1983 Civil action for deprivation of rights
Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom,
or usage, of any State , subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United
States to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the
Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in
equity, or other proper proceeding for redress,.
42 USC 1985(3) Depriving persons of rights or privileges
If two or more persons in any State conspire for the purpose of depriving,
either directly or indirectly, any person or class of persons of the equal protection of
the laws, or of equal privileges and immunities under the laws; or for the purpose of
preventing or hindering the constituted authorities of any State from giving or
securing to all persons within such State the equal protection of the laws; in any
case of conspiracy set forth in this section, if one or more persons engaged therein do,
or cause to be done, any act in furtherance of the object of such conspiracy, whereby
another is injured in his person or property, or deprived of having and exercising any
right or privilege of a citizen of the United States, the party so injured or deprived
may have an action for the recovery of damages occasioned by such injury or
deprivation, against any one or more of the conspirators.
42 USC 1986 Action for neglect to prevent
Every person who, having knowledge that any of the wrongs conspired to be
done, and mentioned in section 1985 of this title, are about to be committed, and
having power to prevent or aid in preventing the commission of the same, neglects or
refuses so to do, if such wrongful act be committed, shall be liable to the party
injured, or his legal representatives, for all damages caused by such wrongful act,
which such person by reasonable diligence could have prevented; and such damages
may be recovered in an action on the case; and any number of persons guilty of such
wrongful neglect or refusal may be joined as defendants in the action; and if the
death of any party be caused by any such wrongful act and neglect, the legal
1:16-cv-00100-NT
Page 13 of 68
PageID #: 55
representatives of the deceased shall have such action therefor, and may recover not
exceeding $5,000 damages therein, for the benefit of the widow of the deceased, if
there be one, and if there be no widow, then for the benefit of the next of kin of the
deceased. But no action under the provisions of this section shall be sustained which
is not commenced within one year after the cause of action has accrued.

serve it on Jack Alahverdian to cease and desist his harassment.

Alahverdian to enter the basement and discovered an oil leak from the
oil tank causing GinA to report the oil leak to Jack Alahverdian and

talking to GinA as a result of the flea problem.

Dear Sgt. Shaw and Major Mills:
Now that I have properly disposed of the frivolous retaliatory OAS and
other criminal charges from February 16, 2012 with a full dismissal, I can
now turn my attention back to the aggressive, unprofessional and
unconstitutional incident with Ofc. Peter Cloutier from January 18, 2012.
I strongly believe these two incidents are directly correlated, with the
OAS arrest and subsequent court action being retaliation for my recording
and reporting Ofc. Cloutier's unprofessional conduct and publicizing it for

January 25, 2012
http://peacivids.peacivist.org/video/XXBSDB7Y1397/Augusta-PoliceInternal-Investigation-Sgt-Shaw-Jan-25-2012, Major Mills sent me an
email on February 21, 2012, at 2:45pm which is restated below:
Gina,
On January 18th 2012, Officers Cloutier and Drouin met with you in
response to a complaint they received from your neighbor. During the
course of their investigation Officer Cloutier began to question you in
reference to the odor of marijuana he believed he smelled coming from your
apartment. You filed a complaint with the Chief of Police in regards
Officer Cloutier's behavior during this incident. Sergeant Shaw
investigated the incident and determined that Officer Cloutier did in fact
act inappropriate in regards to his demeanor, and the way in
which he questioned you. Due to the fact that Officer Cloutier's
behavior was unprofessional, sanctions have been taken against
him and his behavior has been corrected. I want to apologize on
behalf of Officer Cloutier and the Augusta Police Department for this
unfortunate situation you had to endure. Thank you for bringing this
incident to our attention, and please contact me if you have any issues with
the Augusta Police Department in the future. If you have any questions or
if you would like to discuss this situation in person or by telephone please
let me know and I will make myself available upon your request.
Major Jared Mills
Augusta Police Department
***
Major Mills indicated "sanctions have been taken against [Ofc.
Peter Clouter] and his behavior has been corrected" but I was never
informed of those specific sanctions or corrective actions. Additionally,
nobody at the Augusta Police Department has ever offered me any kind of
remedial compensation for "this unfortunate situation [I] had to
endure"...
I strongly believe this situation with Ofc. Cloutier was not only very
unfortunate, but it was also the cause which compelled Ofc. Christopher
Guay to stop me a month later on February 16, 2012 without probable
cause and only because he was familiar with my car and he knew I
recorded Ofc. Cloutier's illegal behavior. I believe Ofc. Guay and other
officers had seen the USDOT signs on my car during their regular patrols
along Cony Street because my car was always parked very close to the
road.
I lived at 239 Cony Street from January 25, 2010 until March 1, 2012.
Additionally, as a direct result of that frivolous and unconstitutional
traffic stop by Ofc. Guay on Feb. 16, 2012, I was physically assaulted by
Sgt. Shaw, Ofc. Guay and Ofc. Harris in their unlawful and unreasonably
forceful seizure of my car and my body, then imprisoning me for several
1:16-cv-00100-NT
Page 28 of 68
PageID #: 70
hours, not to mention the many injuries resulting from those actions which
have persisted ever since.
These are not just "unfortunate situations" which can be ignored; it
would be unwise to think these events have not impacted my life in very
significant ways for which the Augusta Police Dept. is directly
responsible...
All criminal charges from Feb. 16, 2012 were dismissed on December
18, 2013 by A.D.A. Joelle Pratt and Judge Murphy. I am now going to
challenge all civil traffic infractions from that date as well.
I strongly believe the aggressive criminal prosecution and the Augusta
Police Department's willful destruction of and refusal to provide video and
audio evidence of the arrest all resulted directly from my interactions with
Ofc. Peter Cloutier in January 2012.
I believe the other Augusta police officers are extremely unhappy I
recorded Ofc. Cloutier acting unlawfully and I am now being aggressively
targeted as a violent "sovereign citizen" (a misnomer).
I have personally read the Maine Criminal Justice Academy's 2011
mandatory training manual regarding "sovereign citizens" and I know all
police officers are taught to believe and presume all "sovereign citizens" are
violent, gun-toting, deadly people suspected of carrying at least 1 gun and
1 sharp weapon at all times... also, the MCJA training manual indicates
"sovereign citizens" are considered to be "domestic terrorists" worthy of
heightened aggression and police action.
This type of stereotypical profiling violates my natural right to equal
protection, is unconstitutional, discriminatory, highly prejudicial and
directly causes all officers to act with unreasonable aggression against
peaceful people, as I believe happened to me on February 16, 2012 and
thereafter.
I strongly believe the formal education provided by MCJA and the
internal policies of the Augusta Police Department regarding "sovereign
citizens" have caused, and are continuing to cause an elevated risk of
unreasonably aggressive and unconstitutional behaviors by police officers
which is causing an elevated risk of physical, emotional and other types of
injury to peaceful people who are stopped or questioned without reasonable
suspicion or probable cause of committing a 'crime'.
I am extremely offended that I am being targeted by my public servants
who have sworn an oath to protect me simply because I assert my natural
rights as protected by the Maine Constitution and 17 MRSA 2931.
Unfortunately, it is now almost exactly 2 years after I was arrested by
your officers and I cannot even begin to express how severely my life has
been disrupted and injured by these unlawful, illegal and unconstitutional
actions.
My life has been seriously injured, my rights have been grossly
violated, my liberty consistently threatened, and being physically and
constructively imprisoned by not being able to transport myself or leave my
home without "supervision" (by a chauffeur) since early 2012. I was forced
to sell my car because of the effect these charges had on my ability to use or
financially maintain my car. I was forced by subsequent circumstances to
live in the armpit of Augusta's ghetto on Washington Street Place (so I
1:16-cv-00100-NT
Page 29 of 68
PageID #: 71
could afford my rent and walk to the store), my family relationships have
been directly injured as a result of these actions and my emotional, mental
and physical health has also seriously deteriorated as a direct result of not
being able to transport myself or take care of myself the way I did before
these frivolous charges were lodged against me.
I have already expressed in writing to the State, via email on December
17, 2013, that I consider these actions to rise to the level of malicious
prosecution and am prepared to seek my proper redemption through the
only avenue available - the court system.
But I am coming to you first.
I know the police department, as well as each police officer, are
required to maintain a bond or an insurance policy intended to resolve
these exact unfortunate situations.
I also know that "discretionary immunity" and "qualified immunity"
does not apply when "(1) constitutional rights were violated, and (2)
those rights were so clearly established that reasonable [officers] would
have known that their specific actions transgressed those rights." Creamer
v. Sceviour, 652 A.2d 110, 113 (Me. 1995)
I believe the incident from January 18, 2012 with Ofc. Peter Cloutier,
admonished by Major Mills' apology, evidently proves my "constitutional
rights were violated, and (2) those rights were so clearly established that
reasonable [officers] would have known that their specific actions
transgressed those rights."
Also, combining Major Mills' decision about the January 18, 2012
incident with the full dismissal of all criminal charges for the February
2012 OAS arrest, I believe there is solid evidence to prove the existence of a
direct correlation between both incidents from January and February
2012.
This is a very serious situation which must be resolved immediately,
appropriately and fairly. I am a reasonable woman willing to negotiate a
reasonable settlement, but the Augusta Police Department must first
decide if they are going to accept responsibility for the unfortunate actions
of their officers.
I did notice that Ofc. Peter Cloutier's name is no longer listed on your
website as a Patrol
Officer: http://www.augustamaine.gov/index.asp?Type=B_BASIC&SEC

Does this obvious omission signify Ofc. Peter Cloutier has been
terminated from your employment and relieved of his police authority?
Please respond in writing within 7 business days with a request for a

o On February 9, 2014, KJ article Houses behind jail eyed for Augusta
courthouse parking
As a new four-story courthouse takes shape on Winthrop Streets lower
hill, overlooking downtown, efforts are underway to secure more
parking spaces for people who will use the justice center. So far, the
focus is on a block of four buildings, most of them more than a century
old, that form a residential island along Perham Street. The buildings
include an apartment house at 32 Court St. that had been for sale
previously, a two-family house at 19-21 Perham St. and single-family
homes at 13 and 15 Perham St
The city Planning Board required more parking than the 93 spaces in
the court systems original proposal to avoid having courthouse
parking spill over into neighborhood streets.
Maine Supreme Judicial Court Associate Justice Joseph Jabar and
Augusta City Manager William Bridgeo said establishing parking at
the Perham Street properties would be ideal and would allow for 87
more spaces for people using the new building.
Were trying to really make it more user-friendly by establishing a
parking lot behind the jail and next to the courthouse, Jabar said.
Thats a perfect spot. That would add over 80 parking spaces so people
wont have to walk up the hill.
1:16-cv-00100-NT
Page 32 of 68
PageID #: 74
Parking on Perham Street would be about on the same level as the

buildings main entrance.
However, he said those planning the courthouse realize that people are
living in those houses. Were trying to negotiate a fair price for them,
Jabar said.
Bridgeo said a number of entities have worked cooperatively on the
courthouse project and related parking, including the county and the
Augusta Parking District.
Theres no discussion of anything other than attempting to negotiate
voluntary sales of these properties, Bridgeo said. What weve done so
far is the city accepted responsibility to secure appraisals of four
parcels to be paid out of the courthouse project.
He said negotiations then would take place with the property owners to
see if they can agree on a price.
Theyve all expressed a willingness to talk to us, Bridgeo said, adding
that the negotiations would be confidential.
In the meantime, the building project has reached the halfway stage
o On February 12, 2014, 5:47am, GinA sent an email to Betty Adams

regarding their February 9th article,
Responding to your article published on 2/9 titled, "Houses behind jail
eyed for Augusta courthouse parking", I must offer my input since
apparently none of our city councilors are thinking about the most vital
issue our city is facing lately - LACK OF SAFE, LOW INCOME
RESIDENTIAL HOUSING!
How can our public officials even entertain any idea of demolishing
more residential homes to make way for a parking lot without
comparatively replacing those dwelling units when there is a perfect
location for that parking lot or another parking garage on the old
YMCA building site at the corner of Winthrop and State Streets. That
parking garage can be connected to the old or new courthouses by a
catwalk or an underground tunnel, both which already exist in our
local government structures.
Did I mention this property is already cleared and ready for
construction and would save HUGE AMOUNTS of money for this
project's bottom line? There are no buildings to purchase, no people to
relocate, no structures to raze and no cleaning to perform... All that is
needed is for the city to purchase the property or exercise eminent
domain over that property for the greater good of the public, if
necessary, which they are likely to do on Court/Perham Street if push
comes to shove.
And why was this tiny detail not decided and finalized BEFORE they
broke ground on the new courthouse?
I moved into 32 Court Street 2 weeks ago because the location and rent
are perfect for my needs and the owner who, in my opinion is one of the
best landlord's in the city, has been renovating the building for the past
year.
1:16-cv-00100-NT
Page 33 of 68
PageID #: 75
The article says, "to residents, the idea appears to be somewhat

welcome." However, the article does not indicate that those residents
total only 4 individuals who have not been faced with homelessness in
the past 20 years and who do not necessarily understand the
paramount need for their buildings to remain intact whether they
choose to live on this block or not.
The article also does not mention that those 4 buildings are actually
capable of housing at least 20 people each having their own bedroom
because 32 Court Street is a 6 unit building, 13 Perham is a 5 bedroom
single family house, 15 Perham Street can be home for at least 3 people
and 19-21 Perham Street is currently home to at least 2 or more people.
Regardless of the longtime residents' willingness to sell their buildings,
what about low income tenants who are going to lose permanent use of
32 Court Street? Where are they going to live?
We all need to stop thinking about making more business and start
thinking about making more peace, which is not going to happen by
destroying 4 residential homes without replacing them with 4
comparable new buildings which will house the same number of
people!
I will most definitely be objecting at all stages of the legal process with
whatever miniscule rights are afforded to tenants because I have a
right to not be forcibly removed from my home to make way for a
vacant piece of property that will be used ONLY M-F 8-5p!
How is any of this ok with any of you?

I am forwarding an email I sent to the KJ and Betty Adams
responding to the article on Feb. 9th about razing the Perham/Court

I am flabbergasted the city council and our public officials would even
entertain such a notion in light of the epidemic of lost low income
rental units over the past few years.
Also, to add insult to injury, there is a perfect vacant lot at the old
YMCA site that would be ideal for a new parking garage which could
be attached to the new courthouse via underground tunnels or exterior
catwalks (since 18-wheelers do not usually use the Winthrop Street hill
to descend into Water Street).

The new leader of the Augusta Housing Authority wants the
organization to take a more aggressive role in addressing what
she describes as the near-crisis level lack of affordable, safe
housing in the city. Over the last year, 65 housing units were lost
in Augusta, some to fires, but most were shut down by the city for
safety code violations found in some of the aging rental housing
stock That has tightened up the availability of rental housing
in Augusta. Were at a near-crisis situation in this community
right now, said Amanda Bartlett, executive director of the
Augusta Housing Authority. With me coming on board, it seems
like a good time to look at expanding our role, so were not just
doing vouchers. This is an opportunity for us to address a need in
the community. I think the time is right to do something.
Bartlett said the authority already has an arm created
specifically for real estate development, the Augusta Housing
Service Corporation, but that entity has never really been active.

set aside for real estate development.

o On March 4, 2014, KJ article Augusta needs cheaper, safer housing,
forum participants say
The struggling economy is hitting both tenants and landlords as
the citys already-old housing stock ages, forcing low-income
tenants to live in unsafe apartments they cant afford and leaving
landlords without enough money to make needed improvements.
Officials, tenants, landlords and others at a housing forum
Tuesday described a housing situation in need of repair.
The housing stock in Augusta is very old, Code Enforcement
officer Rob Overton said at a housing forum hosted by the city
and Augusta Housing Authority. Take a building built in the
early 1900s, long before the existence of any of the life safety codes
we have today, combine it with years of neglect, and youve got a
recipe for very dangerous situations. Were finding tenants in
these buildings are very aware of the problems but feel they have
no other options, so they remain there. Were finding many
different attitudes among owners. One is the inability to fix the
buildings because of the cost. In many cases, youre talking about
tens of thousands of dollars. In very few instances, so far, are we
seeing these conditions corrected. Id like to say the housing stock
is in better condition than it was 18 months ago, but Im sad to
say thats not the case.
Amanda Bartlett, executive director of the Augusta Housing
Authority, said the lack of affordable housing in the city is a
near-crisis situation. She wants the authority to play a larger
role in improving local housing beyond distributing federal

court business and enhancement of tax revenue at the peoples

expense causing severe injury to the public.
I am a legal tenant of 32 COURT STREET having
excitedly moved into this building in February 2014 after being
homeless for many years. I did not impetuously choose this
building without thorough economic discernment.
I chose this building for many critical reasons, some of
which are listed below:
1.
Location (next to Superior Court for ongoing
personal court business)
2.
Location (near District Court for ongoing personal
court business)
3.
Location (walking distance to my daughter and
granddaughters home)
4.
Location (walking distance to libraries, businesses
and social services)
5.
Location (few residents, peaceful nights, weekends
and holidays)
6.
Location (very high safety area, no crime or public
disturbances)
7.
Location (unique view of historical buildings, river
and sunset/sunrise)
32 COURT STREET is a safe, decent and sanitary
building capable of housing seven low income tenants at very
reasonable rates with many amenities included
Taking this dwelling away from the community you are sworn to
represent, protect and serve would perpetuate a homelessness
crisis which all officers of the City of Augusta and the State of
Maine are duty-bound to prevent or remediate, not proliferate
with illogical tax-enhancing, liberty-endangering commercial
projects.
Increasing court business does not benefit the public nor is
it for the greatest public good since most court business imposes
sizable taxes, individual duties and liberty injuries.
Tax is defined by Blacks Law 9th, as A charge, usu.
monetary, imposed by the government on persons, entities,
transactions, or property to yield public revenue.
As you can see, the definition of tax is not restrained to a
particular type of tax ~ if any municipality or body politic
assesses a fee on 'the public, it is a tax by definition.
Therefore, all court revenue, fines, fees, penalties and
charges are taxes.

1 MRSA 816(1)(B) prohibits exercising eminent domain

power when taking a private property primarily for the
enhancement of tax revenue, such as for a new courthouse.
Arbitrary destruction of a rare licensed rooming house to
build a parking lot is utterly abusive, discriminatory and
repugnant to many constitutional and human rights protections
afforded to every low income and homeless tenant in the state.
32 COURT STREET is an exceptional property with its
rooming house licensure, its unique and peaceful view of the
horizon and historic buildings, and a secluded location near
many businesses and city services.
The People of the State of Maine will be doubly taxed by
this project by the fact that public bonds were issued to finance
this project which need to be paid by the very same people who
will be taxed, sanctioned and their liberties hijacked within the
court facility they paid to build.
Additionally, since the new court facility will
accommodate more people, attract new business and will have
certain financial expenses paid for by those very people, naturally
the state and the city will be increasing their budget
appropriations to meet those tax burdens which naturally will
increase the need for increased court tax revenue which will come
directly from the public.
Evidently, the public does not benefit from more court fees,
fines, duties and taxes.
Amanda Bartlett is the new executive director for Augusta
Housing Authority who recently said Were at a near-crisis
situation in this community right now, and that she wants
Augusta Housing Authority to expand its role by potentially
getting into developing, rehabilitating, building and owning
housing units.
A Kennebec Journal newspaper article dated February 16,
2014 indicates, The new leader of the Augusta Housing
Authority wants the organization to take a more aggressive role
in addressing what she describes as the near-crisis level lack of
affordable, safe housing in the city.
The City of Augusta co-sponsored a community housing
forum with Augusta Housing Authority on March 4, 2014 to
discuss how to fix the homelessness crisis and rapidly decreasing
number of safe, decent and habitable apartment buildings in the
city.
Augusta Housing Authority is a municipal board created
by elected officials of the City of Augusta; therefore, Augusta
1:16-cv-00100-NT
Page 40 of 68
PageID #: 82
Housing Authority is a municipal subdivision and a body

politic having only as much authority as the people explicitly
authorize it to have and only for the publics collective safety,
health, and welfare benefit.
Amanda Bartlett indicated that their sister corporation,
Augusta Housing Service Corporation, which is an IRS
170(b)(1)(a)(vi) organization and which receives most of its
support from a governmental unit or the general public, has
liquid assets of three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) which
is purportedly saved for acquisition, development and
maintenance of low income properties although none has been
spent since the private corporation was formed in 1997.
City of Augusta Office of Economic and Community
Development has declared on their official government website,
We're strengthening already-established neighborhoods with
programs designed to rehabilitate vacant or dilapidated homes.
We're working with developers to bring contemporary loft-style
apartments, overlooking the scenic and recreational opportunities
afforded by the majestic Kennebec River, to our revitalized
downtown district.
City of Augusta OECD further states on their
Neighborhood Revitalization page, City officials and the
OECD staff value these neighborhoods, and we're investing in
them. We're striving to preserve the special qualities of our
community, and revitalize the areas that need our helpAnd
we're encouraging and supporting the establishment of
neighborhood associations, so that we can all work together in
planning for the future of our neighborhoods and our city.
Offensively contradicting these pledges made by the
OECD, the city has engaged in ongoing secret negotiations since
2009, without any consideration for the public you serve or your
electors in this neighborhood, about demolishing four residential
buildings which are capable of housing at least twenty people
and which are all currently inhabited by peaceful, law-abiding
individuals, many of whom have lived in this small
neighborhood for decades.
As reported by the Kennebec Journal on March 19, 2014,
While the new building near the intersection of State and
Winthrop streets isnt expected to generate new jobs, it will
consolidate about 100 employees under one roof. Hundreds more
will come to conduct business.
It is imperative to note that court business is not conducted
for the publics benefit but instead imposes a serious fiscal injury
on many citizens who are coerced and intimidated to use court
1:16-cv-00100-NT
Page 41 of 68
PageID #: 83
services under duress, imminent threat of arrest and loss of

liberties.
As disclosed in the March 19th newspaper article, the new
building isnt expected to generate new jobs illustrates its
limited actual benefit to the public who are paying the bonds
which are financing this $55 million project with no new jobs.
It is imperative to note the old YMCA lot on the corner of
Winthrop and State Streets is clear and ready for development
and which will not eliminate any habitable dwellings nor
displace any tenants or businesses.
It is also a more practical location for a parking lot since
the patrons of the Lithgow Library and surrounding businesses
will also be able to use the parking spaces.
If the size of that lot is less than what is needed for a
parking lot, another reasonable option would be to build another
parking garage to supplement the parking garage at the bottom
of Winthrop Street which is not currently used to full capacity.
If there are safety concerns when crossing Winthrop Street
from the YMCA lot, the next reasonable option would be to build
a suspended catwalk or underground tunnel from the old YMCA
lot connecting to the old or new court house.
Building a suspended catwalk or underground tunnel
across Winthrop Street is viable because the street is not allowed
to be used by oversized vehicles or heavy equipment and all
traffic moves very slowly and cautiously due to pedestrians and
regular traffic. The catwalk and tunnel will also guarantee
pedestrian comfort and safety during the winter months.
I rented this apartment at 32 COURT STREET with the
intention of living here for many years in order to develop my
professional business which requires living within immediate
proximity to the courthouses, as well as other critical reasons.
If the elected officers for the City of Augusta and State of
Maine truly want to preserve the special qualities of our
community they will abandon all ideas of destroying 32 COURT
STREET and all PERHAM STREET residences.
If elected officers acting as the agents for the City of
Augusta and the State of Maine decide to continue negotiations,
they will be required to explain how taking four residential
properties instead of utilizing a comparable vacant parking lot is
for the greatest good of the public and with the least private
injury to the tenants and businesses who will be displaced.
I also reserve and will exercise all my rights under the
Maine Constitution and Maine Revised Statutes to receive just
compensation for all losses, injuries, expenses and other related

vacant school of the Capital Citys east side into housing for senior
citizens.
Resident Gina Turcotte, in a tense exchange with Mayor
William Stokes over how much time she should be allowed to
speak, said she agrees there is a need for more affordable housing
for seniors in the city, but said Hodgkins is a not a safe building
for that housing because of the presence of asbestos and mold in
the old school.
Stephen Langsdorf, city attorney, said any such issues with the
safety of the building would be remediated by the developer.
Bunker confirmed that, noting generally asbestos is completely
removed from buildings for such projects, by environmental
engineering firms who remove it and test to verify it has all been
removed. He said most kinds of molds can be removed, as well,
and testing would take place to make sure it is all gone, and the
air is safe to breath.
It is very highly regulated, he said of asbestos. Just about
every old building has asbestos in it. Its part of the deal.

Amanda Bartlett, the housing authoritys executive director, said

the agency plans to use federal and state historic preservation tax
credits and low-income housing tax credits from the state
housing authority to help pay for the project.
City Manager William Bridgeo said the city also could consider
granting a tax increment financing package to help fund the
project, thus allowing the authority to keep some or all of the
property taxes it would pay on the building.
The housing authority is a nonprofit organization, and thus it
normally wouldnt be required to pay property taxes, but it might
form a for-profit company to be able to take advantage of tax
credits unavailable to nonprofits.
In response to criticism from Turcotte the city would be making a
profit from the venture, through the housing authority,
Langsdorf said the for profit designation is simply a legal
designation that would allow the housing authority to obtain
state and federal tax credits for the project, and the city would
not be engaged in any sort of profit-making venture.
This is about the only way historic structures in Maine get
rehabilitated, Bridgeo said. Without using state and federal tax
credits, wed be tearing down buildings like Old City Hall and
the flatiron building.
Bartlett said the Augusta Housing Authority is one of only a few
housing authorities in Maine that doesnt develop and own
housing properties.
We need to get it done, Bartlett said. It is time here, in
Augusta, to expand some housing opportunities.

we need to talk
the owner and i have sent our official objections to the city

the owner and i are working closely and collaboratively. he also
joined MTJL as a board director representing landlords and real
estate agents and homeowners
did you know the city has been planning to take these 4 bldgs
since 2009 and NEVER SAID A WORD until 2012 !!

the city has made a total of 4 contacts with the next door
neighbor starting 3yrs ago

this unnecessary taking
its abusive and a breach of the city's fiduciary duty
i respect you, Matt, and am coming to you with that respect
intact ...
but, if you dont listen to greg and what the city has done to him
to take this property, i will wonder what your agenda is ...
do not make this about me... it has nothing to do with me... this
is about Greg and how the city has been secretly planning to take
his property since 2009 at least without a word to him !!
and they know this is a FOR PROFIT BUSINESS they are
taking away from him !!
and they only offered him $85,000 !!
such an insult
like i said, I'M HOT
but i'm in control of myself and have my focus well refined
i will be taking this public in every venue i have available to me
as soon as it stops live streaming i will be cutting a copy and
uploading it to youtube so the public can see what i just did
for them
so, with that said, please call Greg Roy, the owner of 32 Court

o On June 17, 2014, GinA made an official complaint to City of Augusta,
Matt Nazar, regarding noise from the courthouse construction site,
This is being sent as an official complaint about the hours
worked by the construction crews at the court house project on
Court Street.
I was awoken again this morning at 6:30am by the nuisance of
the beeping noises coming from the heavy construction
equipment.
These workers arrive on the worksite as early as 5:30am and
begin work anywhere between 6:15-6:30am every day complete
with construction noises.
These construction people show NO RESPECT for the residences
in this neighborhood and make unnecessary noises by beeping
machinery horns to drown out someone talking to them, throwing
metal onto metal to create loud, booming noises at early hours of
the morning, and other unnecessary activities that create loud
noises at unreasonable times and for unreasonable purposes.
I am at the end of my patience with this construction project and
the disrespect being shown to the people who live in this
neighborhood.

o On June 18, 2014, Rob Overton sent an email to GinA regarding David
Pares email to Rob Overton,
Mr. Pare is one of the good local landlords and seems to be a
good person. He pays attention to the City Council meetings and
has called me regarding some of the issues you have brought up
at the meetings and some of the earlier issues that you
experienced on Cony Street. He also calls me occasionally to ask
about code requirements for different type of buildings. He
believes that you could make a good living providing (for a fee)
landlords the type of advice/advocacy you give to tenants.
I actually have received several calls from landlords about what
you are doing with MTJL. You are becoming very well known
among the landlord community. I always recommend that they
contact you directly if they want info on what you do.
I certainly do not believe that Mr. Pare meant any disrespect to
you, but I can certainly see how it could appear as such without
knowing the context of the phone conversation that we had prior
to this email!
I will forward the other emails that he has sent me (I do not
recall any others that involved you or MTJL, but will check and
send them to you).

Dear Mr. Roy:
In 2012 you were contacted by the City of Augusta's Development
Services office regarding the purchase of your property to support
the expansion of the Kennebec County Courthouse. For a variety
of reasons, our ability to begin negotiations with property owners
and make fair market offers on property was delayed until now.
In the coming weeks the city will be preparing an offer on your
property. Our goal is to present you with an offer based on fair
market value. To assist in making this determination the city has
retained an independent licensed appraiser Tracy Vickerson of
Vickerson Appraisal Service in Winthrop (CG#215 State of
Maine).
1:16-cv-00100-NT
Page 53 of 68
PageID #: 95
Next week Tracy Vickerson will be contacting you to coordinate

an inside and outside inspection of your property. This will
insure the most accurate appraisal of your property's worth. Once
Vickerson Appraisal Service has completed their work, I will be
scheduling individual meetings with property owners to discuss
both the appraisal and corresponding city purchase offer.
The city's goal is to make this a transparent process and
maintain an open dialog with property owners. We understand
that the decision to sell property especially one's home is not
an easy one. We will do everything that we can to make the
process both fair and equitable.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about
either the appraisal or acquisition process.

Dear Mr. Roy:
As you are aware, work on the Maine Judicial Center is entering
its final phase, with the goal of completion in the winter of 2015.
An important part of the project is the acquisition of private
property on Perham Street to accommodate new parking for the
facility.
While the new Judicial Center will be owned by the State of
Maine, both Kennebec County and the City of Augusta have been
cooperating closely on the project. The City has taken the lead
role in negotiating the sale of private property. Our goal is to
negotiate the sale of your property both fairly and equitably.
In the fall of 2013 the city contracted with Tracy Vickerson a
licensed real estate appraiser from Winthrop to conduct an
external appraisal of the properties on Perham Street. A copy of
that appraisal has been included with this offer letter. Based on
that appraisal, the city is prepared to offer eighty-five thousand
dollars ($85,000) for the purchase of the apartment building and
property at 32 Court Street.
At this point, our suggestion is that you take ten days to consider
the citys offer and perhaps consult an attorney to discuss your
position with regard to an option agreement. I suggest that we
meet at Augusta City Hall on Monday, May 5th at 1PM to
1:16-cv-00100-NT
Page 54 of 68

o On August 20, 2014, GinA was forced to participate in a fraudulent
eviction hearing for AUGDC-SA-14-453 presided over by Valerie
Stanfill. (See 1:16-cv-00095-NT)
o On August 23, 2014, 1:10pm GinA sent an email to William Bridgeo
regarding her objection to any extension of courthouse work hours,
Manager Bridgeo,
I have been told the courthouse construction crew has recently
submitted a request to extend construction work hours beyond
6pm M-F and that the decision is solely yours as City Manager.
If this is not true, I am filing my official objection for all future
requests for an extension of work hours for as long as I live at 32
Court Street.
As a resident who lives closest to the courthouse project, I
CATEGORICALLY OBJECT to any extension of work hours
beyond 6pm because it will severely exacerbate my current
injuries caused by the continuous noise pollution and physical,
emotional and psychological torture I am required to endure 7a6p M-F and which is the foundation of the Notice of Claim I filed
on August 5, 2014 against the City of Augusta and 14 public
officials including yourself.
Please understand and take official notice of the fact that I am
inside my home at 32 Court Street 99% of the time and I suffer
GREATLY during the day with emotional, mental and physical
issues caused by the construction noises and other related
disturbances.
1:16-cv-00100-NT
Page 56 of 68
PageID #: 98
The City of Augusta and its employees are knowingly and

willfully torturing me with 11 HOURS EVERY WEEK DAY (55
hours per week) of CONSTANT noise pollution, earth work, dust,
dirt, debris, traffic, and interference with my freedom to
communicate.
If the City of Augusta, any of its agents or employees grants any
extension of work hours for the construction project, those official
public decisions will be used as evidence by myself that all public
officials involved in that decision acted intentionally, wantonly
and recklessly in disregard for the needs of the areas residents
resulting in EXTREME PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL AND
PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA for all residents on PERHAM &
COURT STREETS, clearly illustrating the Citys secret
motivations to intentionally injure the public which would be a
fundamental breach of their legal duties as public servants.
Manager Bridgeo, this situation is contentious enough without
exacerbating the situation by extending construction work hours
for the court house project which you know will most definitely
cause extreme distress for 4 residences.
If any extension to work beyond 6p M-F is granted for the
courthouse, I will take whatever legal action is available to
remedy my injuries in addition to the legal action I have already
initiated.
Please understand that legal immunity defenses do not protect
against individual and professional negligence or reckless
behavior.
In consideration of the fact that you are fully aware of the
trauma the construction project is already causing me and my
neighbors, your actions will be judged as intentional, wanton
and reckless if any extension is granted to the courthouse project.
If my objection is ignored and construction work hours are
extended, I will use that decision as further evidence of
discrimination against me as an alleged sovereign citizen and
domestic terrorist having no legal credibility with my public
officials because of their negative prejudice against me as a
truth-speaking constitutional woman and evidenced by their
pattern of behavior of ignoring me and allowing my rights to be
continuously and egregiously violated.
Manager Bridgeo, I have done nothing to deserve this kind of
blatant discrimination and negative prejudicial behavior by my
public officials.
I am a law-abiding, truthful, peaceful woman who is only
seeking community-wide lawfulness, fairness and justice.

I spoke with Greg this afternoon. He said that his exterminator
refused to work in your apartment, but declined to tell me why
o On September 16, 2014, 1:18pm, GinA sent an email to Rob Overton,
I just filed another notice of appeal in District Court on questions
of law claiming all at will leases and two sections of the eviction
law are unconstitutional which effectively strip me of my rights
to enjoy and possess my property and which prevent me from
asserting any legal defenses against eviction.
Ive also asked for a stay on the writ of possession which has not
yet issued.
My notice of appeal was filed properly within the 30 days after
judgment (August 20) and before the writ of possession issued so
I should be allowed to appeal on questions of law, but that
decision will be up to the same judges who are going to park their
cars in my bedroom when this building is torn down for the
courthouse parking lot so Im not going to hold my breath
expecting the judges to rule in my favor.
The judges, the City and the State want this block for their
precious courthouse parking lot and thats all there is to it and
they will get it one way or another

But Im not going down without making them earn their victory
in public view
By the way, I will be testifying at the public council meeting this
week to protest their proposed historic district which I suspect
will not include the Perham/Court Street block its going to be
a very interesting public meeting
Ill let you know what District Court says about staying the writ
of possession on my appeal that I filed today
think good thoughts!
Gina
o On September 22, 2014, 4:32pm, Rob Overton sent an email to GinA,
I also made it clear to Greg that he will not be allowed to move
anyone else into the building until the electrical issues and the
porches and railings are corrected to my satisfaction. This will
require a master electrician to certify that the electrical is safe
and code compliant
o On September 24, 2014, 8:42am, GinA sent an email to Rob Overton,
The sheriff tried to serve a writ of possession on my yesterday
but I didnt answer the door. I have to be careful not to answer
the door for him today because it will start the 48 hours tolling
and I dont have a place to go yetAre you coming over today?
o On September 24, 2014, 9:19am, email from Rob Overton to GinA,
Yes, I will be there later this morning. Around 11 to 1130 if that
works for you?
o On September 24, 2014 around 11:15am, GinA was served with a writ
of possession while GinA was outside talking to Robert Overton.
o On September 25, 2014, 12:06pm, email from Rob Overton to GinA,
Gina,
I know you already gave it to me, but I cannot find the name of
the gentleman that leases the other unit in your building. I want
to make sure that he does not fall through the cracks since he is
not there and may not be aware of the issues in the building. Any
contact info you can share is greatly appreciated.
I hope your apartment viewing on Gage went well. How does the
inside of that building look?
Rob
o On September 26, 2014, GinA moved out of 32 Court Street but she
was not able to remove all of her possessions and was forced to leave

o GinA was homeless from September 26 until November 11, 2014.

o While GinA was homeless, she was threatened with false arrest, with
gun violence, with bodily injury, and she lost over $1000 by the people
who gave her a place to sleep who were all strangers with shady pasts.
o GinA moved into 2528 West River Road, Sidney on November 11, 2014
with her elderly friend Wayne Richard Leach (deceased May 19, 2015)
for the purpose of living together as unregistered domestic partners.
o GinA and (Estate of) Wayne Richard Leach signed a renewable lease
agreement for at least five years with the agreement the terms would
change when either GinA or Wayne got a mortgage to buy the log cabin
at 2528 West River Road within six months (no later than May 2015).
o Wayne Richard Leach died on May 19, 2015 from a sudden onset of
fatal glioblastoma (multi-form brain tumor). (See KEN-2015-0534,
KEN-2015-0534-1, KEN-CV-15-58, KEN-CV-15-59, KEN-RE-15-68)
o Today, GinA lives alone at 2528 West River Road, Sidney with the
support of the community and her immediate neighbors while trying to
exercise her lawful natural, civil and fair housing rights to have a safe,
decent and affordable dwelling which Congress promised to protect
against all unlawful discrimination in 42 USC 3601. (See KEN-CV15-58, KEC-RE-15-68, WATDC-SA-15-271, 1:15-cv-00382-NT, 1:16-cv00095-NT)
o On July 10, 2015 at at 6:55am GinA commented on a July 9, 2015, KJ
article titled With Augusta apartment building gone, Kennebec
courthouse gains public parking lot,
such a slap in my face ... but i promise i'm not done yet ...
at 1:58pm Michael St.Andrews commented
So let me get this straight, we razed 3 apartment buildings for a
new parking lot (say goodbye to developed property tax income),

o On May 16, 2016 at 11:30am, GinA is scheduled to appear in Kennebec
County Probate Court to be appointed as Personal Representative for
the Estate of Wayne Richard Leach so GinA can proceed to file any and
all wrongful death lawsuits against all responsible parties for all acts
which led GinA and Wayne to live at 2528 West River Road Sidney and
which GinA and Wayne both believe was the direct and proximate
cause for the sudden manifestation of Waynes brain tumor (January
11, 2015, exactly 60 days after taking possession of 2528 West River
Road on November 11, 2014) which was the direct and proximate cause
for Waynes untimely death, to restore any and all proper value to
Waynes allegedly insolvent estate, to redress all injuries caused by
David Brennans breach of contract, failure to disclose defects and
intentional infliction of emotional distress, to get all legal remedies for
all other peoples wrongful actions and to administer his estate in the
manner he requested. (See GinAs affidavit in KEN-2015-0534-1)

noisy environment and other harmful intrusions caused by the courthouse
construction project.
4.
Defendants wrongfully violated GinAs equal rights under color of state laws

data about 32 Court Street that would have given GinA adequate knowledge and
ability to avoid serious injuries that were caused by her rental contract with Greg
Roy and her actual physical occupancy at 32 Court Street.
5.

court proceedings, threat of homelessness, severe emotional and physical distress,
financial and relational damages, as well as innumerable other severe injuries.

2528 West River Road by virtue of the herein-named Defendants allowing and
soliciting GinA to occupy 32 Court Street knowing or having reason to know ab
initio the loud construction noises would make her living conditions unhappy and
that GinA would be forced to move out within a few months by force of excessive
police power by a court and its judges who were acting with a complete absence of
all jurisdiction as a result of that court being earmarked to be the final legal owner
and occupant of 32 (1) Court Street.
8.
