Barristers to Petition The European Court of Human Rights to Highlight Human Rights Abuses, Judicial Corruption, and Miscarriages of Justice Within the State of Arizona

Author: Anant Kumar Tripati
Dateline: Tue, 03 Oct 2006

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “SHEFFIELD, U.K. - Oct. 3 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Mr. Michael Nashvili, speaking for Mr. Anant Kumar Tripati, and a representative of a group based in Europe that is raising awareness of Tripati's case, states 'I have been contacted by four legal services groups from the European Union who are considering filing a petition with the European Union to bar member countries from doing business with Arizona in order to highlight judicial corruption in Arizona.' ”



A R T I C L E:

SHEFFIELD, U.K. - Oct. 3 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Mr. Michael Nashvili, speaking for Mr. Anant Kumar Tripati, and a representative of a group based in Europe that is raising awareness of Tripati's case, states "I have been contacted by four legal services groups from the European Union who are considering filing a petition with the European Union to bar member countries from doing business with Arizona in order to highlight judicial corruption in Arizona."

Documents to be cited in the petition include evidence that shows:

Judges in Arizona have been rigging court cases in order to protect other judges. They are preventing any cases, or compelling evidence in Mr. Tripati's favour, from being presented in a court of law by Mr. Tripati. [Document 7-(Memo from Judge Brian Hauser to Judge Robert Myers) and Document 3-(Arizona Department of Corrections Information Report) at www.corruptarizonacourts.com/keydocs.html].

Arizona authorities manufactured crimes with no supporting physical evidence whatsoever in order to convict Mr. Tripati, and have sent him to prison until 2044 [Document 2- (Letter by Robert Girdley to the AZ Attorney General) at wwwcorruptarizonacourts.com/key documents]. Mr. Tripati was sentenced to 52.5 years for the crime of "fraudulent schemes" based only upon false testimony obtained by witness intimidation and witness tampering.

Additional evidentiary documents are available at www.corruptarizonacourts.com that clearly demonstrates testimony was falsified by Arizona authorities, and was covered up by members of the judiciary.

Barristers believe that in light of these documents, economic sanctions are warranted because Mr. Tripati is a Commonwealth citizen.

During the course of his legal research work, Mr. Tripati amassed documentation demonstrating the systemic prosecution of people in Arizona by fabricating crimes, evidenced, and perjured testimony. The material evidenced Judicial complicity in this corruption, and Judges protecting each other from exposure of their actions. When these people learned that Mr. Tripati intended to expose this judicial corruption, crimes were allegedly manufactured against Mr. Tripati to stop him.

The documents allegedly show that there has been a miscarriage of justice resulting in a set of wrongful convictions, and raise too many questions about the actions taken against Mr. Tripati. The sentence is disproportionate and inhumane, as crimes of violence and murder get lesser sentences in Arizona. Mr. Tripati must be given a full blown evidentiary hearing in an open court of law with an unbiased jury.

For more information, please contact Mr. Michael Nashvili (mnashvili@hotmail.com) a representative of a group based in Europe that is raising awareness of Mr. Tripati's case.

KinderStart says Federal Judge to Rule on Google’s ‘Right’ to Limit Speech on the Internet

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “LOS ANGELES, CA - June 23 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- At 9:00 a.m. on Friday, June 30, 2006 in United States Federal Court, 280 S. First Street, Courtroom #3, San Jose, California, a drama will play out between KinderStart.com (a site for kids zero to seven and their parents) and the giant of the Internet, Google, controlling up to 80% or more of 'Net searches worldwide.”



A R T I C L E:

LOS ANGELES, CA - June 23 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- At 9:00 a.m. on Friday, June 30, 2006 in United States Federal Court, 280 S. First Street, Courtroom #3, San Jose, California, a drama will play out between KinderStart.com (a site for kids zero to seven and their parents) and the giant of the Internet, Google, controlling up to 80% or more of 'Net searches worldwide.

The hearing is open to members of the press and the public. Cameras are not permitted in the courtroom.

If the Federal judge rules in favor of KinderStart on any of the nine counts, sunlight will finally begin to lift the dark and secret shroud that covers the Googleplex.

Google's co-founder Larry Page declared that a search engine should be "like the mind of God."

"It's clear Google is acting like god as they determine what we mortals shalt and shalt not see," stated Victor Goodman, Founder of KinderStart.com.

Goodman continues, "Is this company that censors speech and ideas in China now doing it in the USA? Google decides what news we get, what sites come up, and what sites disappear -- in effect, what we buy and think. This case is about far more than Kinderstart; it is about our freedom to know, speak and choose without a self-appointed Gatekeeper."

KinderStart.com is the lead plaintiff in a class action filed in Federal court on March 17, 2006.

Crown Financial Services, based in Las Vegas, is in the business of providing emergency cash to plaintiffs in lawsuits. For example, if someone has been injured and is suing the responsible party for their injuries, they may need money for living expenses before the case is settled; emergency cash is now available.”



A R T I C L E:

LAS VEGAS, NV - May 31 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE)-- Plaintiffs in pending lawsuits, who need cash now, may be able to quickly cash in and get some financial relief. Crown Financial Services, based in Las Vegas, is in the business of providing emergency cash to plaintiffs in lawsuits. For example, if someone has been injured and is suing the responsible party for their injuries, they may need money for living expenses before the case is settled; emergency cash is now available.

Expert advisors at Crown Financial understand that litigation can be a long and drawn out process that can be mentally and financially draining. Many plaintiffs are out of work or have lost a lot of work time and have difficulty paying bills, mortgages, meeting medical expenses and providing for their families.

A plaintiff who may be up against an insurance company, large corporation or other deep-pocketed defendant, may find their finances maxed out. Crown Financial Services eliminates the need to accept a minimal settlement amount due to personal financial pressures and help clients to pursue a fair and just settlement.

"We level the playing field for plaintiff and attorney," Dan Ollman, President, said. "We provide the staying power in the form of a cash advance so that the attorney can focus on fairness, not finances, for his client. This is not a loan; it is a non-recourse cash advance. If the case goes badly and there is no settlement or judgment, the plaintiff has absolutely no obligation to repay the cash advance."

A member of the Cash Flow Association of America (CFAA), Crown Financial Services also offers law-firm financing, commercial-litigation financing, funding for expert witness fees and appeal financing to attorneys who are short of funds.

"We pride ourselves on providing alternative, creative funding options for a variety of income streams," Ollman explained. "And, we specialize in friendly, quality service for businesses and individuals - alike."

Crown Financial Services is committed to taking a proactive approach to finding the very best funding source to meet their clients' needs. Ensuring clients have access to needed capital under the very best rates and terms possible, is key.

Confidentiality of each client is guaranteed. Crown Financial Services works to earn their clients trust by providing reliable, dependable, quick service and achieving results.

Is Another Hurricane Katrina Coming? New Survey Shows Floridians Grossly Unprepared for Hurricane Season

Author: The Law Office of Samuel W. Bearman, P.A.
Dateline: Mon, 22 May 2006

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “PENSACOLA, FL - May 22 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Despite being in the epicenter of hurricane activity, Floridians continue to roll the dice on hurricane insurance. Attorney Samuel Bearman finds that an alarming number of Florida residents do not have adequate insurance coverage, should a major hurricane hit the state.”



A R T I C L E:

PENSACOLA, FL - May 22 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Despite being in the epicenter of hurricane activity, Floridians continue to roll the dice on hurricane insurance. Attorney Samuel Bearman finds that an alarming number of Florida residents do not have adequate insurance coverage, should a major hurricane hit the state.

Of those surveyed, Bearman found that 48.7% do not carry flood insurance. And 42% do not even realize that flood coverage requires a separate policy. Of those who did not know about flood insurance, 56.5% now say they will get flood coverage to be on the safe side.

But that's not nearly enough.

"The crux of the issue is that many people believe they are fully insured when they're actually not," Bearman said. "Most people have homeowner's insurance - or homeowner's and wind insurance - and that's all. If a hurricane hits and they get flood damage, which is quite common, their policy won't cover that," he adds.

The result? In most cases, the insured would have to pay for the damages out of his or her own pocket. That could be devastating.

However, there are certain steps that can be taken to minimize the risk and avert catastrophic consequences. Clearly, better education on insurance issues can help Floridians better protect their homes and businesses if and when a hurricane hits.

Bearman, who is a national speaker on hurricane law and insurance policies, hopes that everyone will heed his warnings and get adequate insurance before it's too late. In his many years of handling hurricane cases, the lack of flood insurance has repeatedly been a significant issue.

Now is a good time for people to prepare for hurricane season and review their homeowner's policy. For questions, people should call their insurance agent or a hurricane law attorney.

To contact Mr. Bearman, his telephone number is (800) 760-6065.

Federal Court Issues a Prompt Trial Date in Skyline’s Patent Case Against Google Earth

Author: Skyline Software Systems, Inc.
Dateline: Tue, 04 Apr 2006

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “SKYLINE, VA - Apr. 4 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- In a patent infringement case asserted against Google Earth (Google's 3D mapping software) a federal court judge in Massachusetts has issued an expedited discovery and trial schedule in response to plaintiff Skyline Software Systems' request for a preliminary injunction. The court has not yet ruled on the motion, but issued a claim construction determination and gave Skyline a prompt trial date - usually a strong indication that the court views the claims of patent infringement as having real substance.”



A R T I C L E:

SKYLINE, VA - April 4 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- In a patent infringement case asserted against Google Earth (Google's 3D mapping software) a federal court judge in Massachusetts has issued an expedited discovery and trial schedule in response to plaintiff Skyline Software Systems' request for a preliminary injunction. The court has not yet ruled on the motion, but issued a claim construction determination and gave Skyline a prompt trial date - usually a strong indication that the court views the claims of patent infringement as having real substance.

In patent cases, the court provides a claim construction or interpretation of certain terms used in the patent claims. The court split on the interpretation of the claims proposed by the parties and reserved the right to revisit the interpretation, as the issues are refined. Most of the differences in the claim construction were minor, involving the addition or deletion of a word or two from the parties' proposed interpretations. The relevance of the claim construction must await the application of the claim construction to the methods actually used by Google Earth.

Skyline's President Ronnie Yaron stated "The court's expedited trial schedule and the issuance of the claim construction are a real victory for Skyline. Skyline is an innovator in this field of 3D mapping and has been trying to schedule a prompt trial where it believes the infringement issues are straightforward. Google can no longer delay the process."


About Skyline Software Systems, Inc.

Skyline (http://www.skylinesoft.com) is an innovator in 3D visualization technologies and holds several patents in the field. Skyline is also a leading provider of network-based 3D imaging software and services and offers a comprehensive platform of applications and tools to enable the dissemination of complex geo-spatial information in an interactive, photo-realistic 3D form.

Arizona Judicial Reform – Dedicated to Justice for All

Author: Arizona Judicial Reform
Dateline: Tue, 14 Mar 2006

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “PHOENIX, AZ - Mar. 13 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Arizona based ARIZONA JUDICIAL REFORM (azjudicialreform.org) affirms judicial corruption is deeply rooted within the Arizona Courts. The group is in the process of pressing forward a voter initiative to remove immunity for Arizona Judges, and possibly limiting their terms to four years. ”



A R T I C L E:

Arizona Judicial Reform Group States Anant Tripati is a Victim of Judicial Corruption Within Arizona State and Federal Courts

PHOENIX, AZ (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Arizona based ARIZONA JUDICIAL REFORM (www.azjudicialreform.org) affirms judicial corruption is deeply rooted within the Arizona Courts. The group is in the process of pressing forward a voter initiative to remove immunity for Arizona Judges, and possibly limiting their terms to four years.

Jerry Gray of Arizona Judicial Reform states: "It is shocking to see the overwhelming documentation on www.corruptarizonacourts.com concerning corruption within our courts. Keith Stott III of the Arizona Commission on Judicial Conduct helps cover-up for these judges. When Tripati lodged a complaint against Judges Ronald Reinstein, Jonathan Schwartz and Gregory Martin for requesting the prison destroy documents and evidence, the Commission should have held a public investigation into these judges' actions. Why did Judge Reinstein make the phone call to Judy Gabbert at ADOC Lewis Facility? How was his call interpreted as a request for the destruction of records that favor Tripati?"

According to Mr. Gray, "The Arizona Court of Appeals and Supreme Court should order hearings after complete discovery in Tripati's criminal case as well as in the allegations concerning falsification and destruction of evidence upon the request of the Arizona Attorney General by prison authorities."

When asked, Gray stated that: "Judge Ruth Hilliard is known to enter orders, which penalize individuals for challenging the State," and this is why he was not shocked at seeing the order she entered against Tripati in CIV 2005-11562. "Judge Hilliard does not appreciate citizens proving to her that State authorities have taken retaliatory action," states Gray.

"I read the RICO complaint which Judge David Campbell dismissed (CIV 2003--1122). Judge Campbell certainly did not read the complaint filed by Tripati. When he realized the impact his actions would have upon local judges and the Arizona Attorney General's Office, he took whatever the Attorney General said and adopted that as his position. I have reviewed the documents on the Website and state with no uncertainty that the complaint should have been allowed to proceed."

Lawyers familiar with Tripati's Website and cases state that these judges have treated Tripati unfairly because he is challenging institutionalized corruption within Arizona's State Judicial System. They further state that had Tripati not challenged the judicial corruption and had he bowed down to these judges, he would not be in prison. His RICO case would not have been dismissed and Judge's O'Melia and Schwartz would not have ruled against him.

"Arizona legislators are no different than those caught in the recent dragnet in the Abranoff case. They are afraid of judges and so do not wish to take legislative action to protect the people of Arizona. This is why we will work towards an initiative to protect citizens," remarks Gray.

Mr. Anant Tripati can be contacted at AZfraud@gmail.com.

Parties Announce $4.45 Million Settlement of Overtime and Other Wage and Hour Claims for New York Employees of Service Corp. International Affiliates

Author: Law Office of Richard T. Seymour, P.L.L.C.
Dateline: Tue, 21 Feb 2006

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “NEW YORK, NY - Feb. 21 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The Law Office of Richard T. Seymour, P.L.L.C. and The Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Firm, LLP, counsel for a class of present and former employees of Service Corp. International affiliates, and Baker & Hostetler LLP, counsel for Service Corp. International, and its affiliates, are today announcing a settlement in Sines et al. v. Service Corp. International (SCI), et al., a case in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.”



A R T I C L E:

WASHINGTON, D.C., NEW YORK, and HOUSTON (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The Law Office of Richard T. Seymour, P.L.L.C. (www.rickseymourlaw.com) and The Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Firm, LLP (www.fuchsberg.com), counsel for a class of present and former employees of Service Corp. International affiliates, and Baker & Hostetler LLP (www.bakerlaw.com), counsel for Service Corp. International, and its affiliates, are today announcing a settlement in Sines et al. v. Service Corp. International ("SCI"), et al., a case in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

The case involves premium payments, overtime and other wage & hour claims for funeral directors and other non-exempt employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") and the New York Labor Law ("NYLL"). The Court gave preliminary approval to the proposed settlement on February 10, for the purpose of providing notice to class members and to give them an opportunity to opt out, object, or file claim forms, and approved the Notice on February 15, 2006.

Under the settlement, more than six hundred New York present and former employees of affiliates of SCI from July 23, 1997, to October 1, 2004, will share in the award. The ending date coincides with a number of changes SCI made in its compensation practices as a result of the case. A 19-page proposed Consent Decree is part of the settlement.

The proposed Consent Decree provides a means of resolving any disputes that arise in the three years after approval, and for monitoring defendants' compliance with the Consent Decree.

The parties have submitted the proposed settlement to the Court, and have requested preliminary approval so that notice can be given to present and former employees and they can be given an opportunity to comment or file objections on the proposed settlement, to opt out. Employees considered exempt from overtime requirements will also have an opportunity under the settlement to assert that they were not exempt, and to seek relief.

The proposed settlement was submitted by Richard T. Seymour of the Law Office of Richard T. Seymour, P.L.L.C., in Washington, D.C., Alan L. Fuchsberg of The Jacob Fuchsberg Law Firm in New York City, representing the employees, and Nancy L. Patterson of Baker & Hostetler in Houston, Texas, representing defendants. The law firm of Lieff, Cabraser, Heimann & Bernstein, LLP, a class action firm with offices in New York, San Francisco, and Nashville, also worked extensively on the case.



Mr. Seymour stated:

This is an important case involving premium payments, overtime, and other issues, with massive computer files and hard-copy pay records. Some of the problems in this case began before SCI acquired some of the funeral homes in question, and continued thereafter. SCI should be commended for its willingness to recognize the problems we brought to its attention, and to correct the situation.

SCI was willing to deem every present and former employee within the three-year period of limitations on the FLSA claims to have "opted in," and was willing to deem every present and former employee as having intervened on the NYLL claims, subject to their right to "opt out" later, if that is what they want.

The class recovery in the proposed settlement is an eminently reasonable amount.

Both sides worked together extremely well in resolving difficult factual and legal issues, and plaintiffs were given the opportunity to meet informally with defense counsel and defendants' expert and officials, both in person and by telephone, in addition to all the tools of formal discovery. Mr. Sines,' Mr. Williams,' and SCI's problem-solving approach made a resolution possible much earlier, with more going to the class and less in transaction costs.

A great deal of credit is also due to Alan Fuchsberg, who originated the case, persuaded me of its merit, and worked with me throughout it, and to my former firm, Lieff, Cabraser, Heimann & Bernstein LLP, which has unfailingly supported this case both when I was with the firm, and thereafter.

Mr. Seymour's contact information is stated below.



Mr. Fuchsberg stated:

Credit also goes to the Department of Labor for being the first to advise the class representatives that a wage and hour violation might exist, and to the class representatives for expressing aloud their conviction that their overtime wages were not being calculated correctly and for providing their counsel with a detailed understanding of the everyday overtime activities in the funeral profession where unfortunately needs have to be met on short notice at unplanned times.

Good faith negotiation was demonstrated by both sides in a matter that called for correction under the Department of Labor's interpretation of Fair Labor Standards Act. This effort combined with the insistence of counsel for a meticulous application of the law, which has now resulted in a very just compensatory settlement.

Mr. Fuchsberg's contact information is stated below.



Ms. Patterson stated:

SCI's approach to this case is in fact a model for other employers. SCI never had any intention of violating the law, and denies having done so. The Department of Labor regulations on which this lawsuit was based are highly technical, and the outcome of a lawsuit was uncertain. If the case had gone to trial, there was a real possibility SCI might have won.

However, SCI has always prided itself on setting an example for other companies to follow, in terms of how it treats its employees. From the outset, SCI was strongly interested in getting straight to the merits, finding out if there were any problems that had possible merit, and doing the right thing. We made clear to plaintiffs' counsel that we were interested in working out a fair solution, and one that carries out SCI's policies of being an exemplary employer.

The practical approach of both sides helped a great deal in bringing this case to a fair resolution.

Ms. Patterson's contact information is stated below.



Mr. Seymour will hold meetings with class members in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, Long Island, Queens, and Manhattan.
