QUESTION #4: You constantly seem to point out faults that you demonstrate with New Orleans Clerk of Court Dale Atkins. Do you personally dislike her; and do you know Atkins on a personal level?

ANSWER #4 Because of procedurally required random assignment of newly-filed lawsuits, I think it is underhanded for Atkins to pre-select judges and deny knowing about it. I especially dislike various acts by Atkins’ office which smacks of impropriety, deception, and undue use of public position.

Aside from Atkins’ accepting my filing fees and filing pleadings into the record for the conversion case which had been removed to federal court, illustrative of undue use of position is when Atkins’ office faxing lawsuit number 2006-5843. A person normally becomes notified of being sued when service of process is made. However, the next business day after case 2006-5843 was filed Atkins’ office faxed that lawsuit; service of process did not occur until 3 weeks later. It is very troublesome that someone in this important position of public trust demonstrates duplicitous conduct. Yes, I became acquainted with Atkins when I volunteered at campaign headquarters spearheaded by Atkins and Mose Jefferson.

QUESTION #5: On your web site you virtually reference New Orleans Civil Court Judge Lloyd Medley as a buffoon, how can you do that?

ANSWER #5 Factors such as Judge Medley’s often absence from court (or so I was told), coupled with his unblushing lavish travels and gratification at public’s expense, his various ludicrous rulings which were certain to be reversed and time-consuming to litigants, as well as aberrant rulings in favor of debt collectors give the appearance that Medley is in this business strictly for the perks. He is a prime example of a civil judge with time on his hand ample enough to be put to use at criminal court. Also, if it can be said that former Judge Charles Elloie engaged in nepotism, so can it be said about Judge Medley whose law clerk, Neisha Lange is his sister-in-law. He seems to seek to glean as much public money as he can get away with, as Medley had the nerve to ask the Louisiana Board of Ethics to waive the $400 late fee assessed against him for filing his October 2002 election report 79 days late.

QUESTION #6: Do you have a law degree, and if not why have you not pursued one?

ANSWER #6 I do not. As a lifetime resident of New Orleans, experiences I have had, as well as experiences of several lawyers and lay people, has led me to conclude that the court system is a dog- eat-dog domain of which I prefer to interact only when I have to.

QUESTION #7: Are you a racist?

ANSWER #7 NO. In fact, I do not believe in voting for skin color, but for character. Exposing corrupt politicians should produce informed voting choices. Furthermore, for too many years, the facts demonstrate the New Orleans public officials who have caused the most social impediments –especially helpless children– are people of my skin color. I’ll go even further to say that I don’t have a clue what Eddie Jordan does. As far as I know, not since he has been in public office has he performed requisite duties of which would benefit the class of people who most need his job performance.

QUESTION #8: On your web site you discuss and you supply exhibits of court documents that you indicate were somewhat deceptively signed by former Judge Carolyn Gill-Jefferson (sister-in-law of embattled Congressman William Jefferson), for Clerk of Court Dale Atkins. How can the average person recognize any illegalities with those signed documents, and what is the point you are trying to make?

ANSWER #8 The facts, with documents and exhibits to prove those facts are self-evident. Whether or not Gill-Jefferson was aware of the blatant improperness of signing the pleadings that Atkins presented for Gill-Jefferson’s signature, it is impossible for Atkins to deny Atkin’s repeated deliberate filings and entries into the record of which had been fraudulently removed to federal court. Not only had the conversion case been removed, on May 5, 2006, federal Judge McNamara had gone as far as dismissing the conversion case, while Atkins obtained an state court order for that same case four days earlier from Gill-Jefferson.

QUESTION #9 Do you think that there is some relation to media reports regarding Saratoga Street property, the Jefferson family, postings on your website, and the abrupt resignation of Gill-Jefferson?

ANSWER #9 In my compilations of property transactions between debt collectors and Sheriff Valteau, Saratoga Street is on one of my lists. The media report about Renee Gill-Pratt, Jefferson family members, non-profit organizations, and conveyings of Saratoga Street property, has similarities to real estate “flipping” of which corporations like Freddie Mac is notorious. Given the fact that (prior to Katrina) transference of real estate between corporations was a pervasive fact, it is not unfathomable to perceive correlations between certain corporations, debt collectors, and real estate flipping, which is illegal.

As pointed out elsewhere on this website, mortgage fraud entails various facets. Even so, a recent property sale is an element of what I am trying to point out what is going on with Valteau’s auctions and the debt collectors:

** On May 17, 2006 Benjamin Dean, of the Dean Morris Law Firm obtained seizure orders for auctioning -with benefit of appraisal, property located at 2434 New Orleans Street for a debt amount of $121,409.32. The property was auctioned to Dean on September 21, 2006 for an amount of $33,334.00. However, according to La. C.C.P. art. 2336, “property shall not be sold if the price bid by the highest bidder is less than two-thirds of the appraised value. In that event, the sheriff shall re-advertise the sale of the property in the same manner as for an original sale, and the same delay must elapse.” Based on article 2336, the property located at 2434 New Orleans Street should not have been sold to Dean or anyone else on September 21, 2006 because the sale amount was less than 2/3 of the appraised value. Valteau should have complied with the re-advertise and delays required by article 2336. Now, Dean can unjustly obtain a DEFICIENCY JUDGMENT judgment against that defaulting property owner, while at the same time flip the property through use of a mortgage creditor’s name. Also, the city has missed out on higher revenue from that sale. Meanwhile, the purported mortgage creditor, JP Morgan Chase Bank gained nothing from the seizure of that property! Plausibly, JP Morgan Chase would acquire its security interest in 2434 New Orleans Street when the property becomes illegally flipped. Otherwise, what good was it to foreclose.  Moreover, since a debt collector’s fee is 25% of the debt amount, clearly, JP Morgan Chase accomplished nothing LEGAL through the seizure and the September 21, 2006 sale.  Rather,  accomplishment of gaining a property deed recorded out of the name of the property owner, through a SIMULATED SALE enables flipping.  Debt collectors Herschel C. Adcock, Jr., and the Dean Morris Law Firm are obtaining seizures of properties throughout Louisiana.   Debt collection violations  and unfair “decificiency” attachments are  connected to debts other than immovable property.   Also, for comprehensive information about consumer law and debt collection, check out the National Consumer Law Center (NCLC) at: www.consumerlaw.org.
