OFFICE OF THE CLERK
SUPREME COURT. U.S.
I. QUESTIONS PRESENTED
Question 1:
In a Section 1983 false-evidence claim, which involves the creation, use, and
continued dissemination of fabricated evidence and upon which false accusations
were &/or are based, does the statute of limitations begin to run upon the favorable
termination of the ensuing proceedings, as recently held in McDonough v. Smith,
No. 18-485, 588 U. S.
(2019), or from when the falsely accused “knew or should
have known” of the of that falsified, as held herein by the Second Circuit Court of
Appeals (Appendix A3), particularly:
i-)
where the main harms thereby caused were not the long term deprivations of
physical liberty, as they were in McDonough v. Smith, supra, &/or where the
violations resulted in harms that were primarily “interests other than the interest
in freedom from physical restraint.” Albright v. Oliver. 510 U.S. 266, 283 (1994);
&/or
ii.)
when whether a given resolution, if any, in false-evidence Section 1983
claims should be considered a “favorable termination,” as initially established in
Heck v, Humphrey. 512 U.S. 477 (1994), where the primary causal harms are not
liberty deprivations, is presently uncertain, undetermined, and warrants redress
and clarification by the U. S. Supreme Court. McDonough v. Smith, n. 2, supra-,
&/or
i
iii.)
when the falsely accused has consistently been denied all access to that
which was falsified &/or its’ contents, in ostensible regards to herself, and, as such,
she has no first-hand knowledge of that upon which said false accusations were
based, i.e. she has only occasionally and inadvertently overheard bits and pieces
thereof from various third parties, etc., rendering it impossible for her to defend
such; &/or
iv.)
where the long term dissemination of said false evidence is so egregious as to
shock the conscience, given that the Respondents’ only purpose was &/or is to cause
harm unrelated to any legitimate legal purpose, thereby violating the Petitioner’s
Substantive Due Process Rights, et al., as established by County of Sacramento v.
Lewis. 523 U.S. 833, 849 (1998), Rochin v. California. 342 U.S. 165 (1952); &/or
v.)
as the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, as well as the United States
District Court, Western District of New York, have entered decisions &/or
sanctioned such (Appendix A & Appendix B), that “so far departfed] from the
accepted and usual course of judicial proceedings,” i.e. rewarding the criminals
herein, i.e. the Respondents, and further victimizing the actual crime victim, i.e. the
Petitioner, that it “califs] for an exercise of this Court’s Supervisory Power,”
pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 10 (a).
li
Question 2:
Should the United States Supreme Court grant Writ of Certiorari to said
Petitioner, and review the false-evidence Section 1983 matter herein:
i.) in order to clarify whether a particular “resolution” should be considered a
“favorable termination,” as initially established in Heck v. Humphrey, supra; &
ii.) in order to determine the proper standards when there essentially is no
such “termination,” favorable or otherwise, as here; &
iii.) in order to establish a clear and determined exception to the “favorable
termination” requirement, established by Heck v. Humphrey, supra, i.e. to establish
a lawful exception for Section 1983 Plaintiffs/Petitioners who have diligently sought
out and actively pursued such “favorable termination,” but was thwarted from
obtaining such due to the Respondent’s ongoing frauds, crimes &/or other
illegalities, as here, so as not to deprive said Section 1983 Plaintiffs/Petitioners
access to Federal Court relief, also as here.
m
Question 3:
Should equitable tolling, i.e. a person is not required to sue within the
statutory period if he cannot, under the circumstances, be reasonably expected to do
so, Dixon v. United States. 548 U.S. 1 (2006), be applied in a long term falseevidence and official misconduct Section 1983 claim, where the Respondents
routinely utilized the fabricated evidence, which they entered into law enforcement
databases as if accurate, genuine, & legitimate, against the Petitioner herein, who
qualifies for the protections afforded by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA),
42 U. S. Code §12111, et seq, specifically Title II, and which the Respondents so did
for the purposes of beating or riding out the statute of limitations on said Section
1983 claim. EQUITY WILL NOT SUFFER A WRONG WITHOUT A REMEDY.

V. PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI
Molly Ann Mahany, Petitioner, pro se., most respectfully petitions the United
States Supreme Court for grant of a Writ of Certiorari, in order to review the
determination of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, docketed as # 18-1483
(Appendix A1 - A12), as, in so doing, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals “has
decided an important question of federal law that has not been, but should be,
settled by this Court” and “has decided an important federal question in a way that
conflicts with relevant decisions of this Court,” most recently in McDonough v.
Smith. No. 18-485, 588 U. S.
(2019), in accordance with Supreme Court Rule 10

VI. OPINIONS
The Second Circuit Court of Appeals rendered a Summary Order and
Judgment, which was entered on June 20, 2019. A copy of said Summary Order and
Judgment is submitted herewith. (Appendix A1 - A12).
This Section 1983 matter was initially filed in the United States District
Court, Western District of New York, and indexed as # 14-cv-693. A copy of the
Magistrate’s Report & Recommendation as well as the Opinion & Order of the
District Court, entered on April 16, 2018, is submitted herewith. (Appendix B1 —
B18).
VII. JURISDICTION
The Petitioner, Molly A. Mahany, pro se, hereinafter “the Petitioner,”
respectfully invokes the jurisdiction of the United States Supreme Court, in
accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1254, having timely filed this Petition for Writ of
Certiorari, and as the Second Circuit Court of Appeals has issued a final judgment
on an important question of federal law that has not been, but need be, settled by this
Court, as said final judgment is in conflict with decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court
on the same important matter, as the Second Circuit Court of Appeals has sanctioned
a decision that has so far departed from the accepted and usual course of judicial
proceedings that it warrants the exercise of this Court’s Supervisory Power, etc.,
there are compelling reasons for grant of the Writ of Certiorari most respectfully
prayed for herein.

X. STATEMENT OF CASE
This is a Section 1983 false-evidence claim, pursuant to 42 U.S. Code §1983,
involving the Respondents’ creation and continued long term dissemination of false
evidence, which were used in a number of actions, proceedings, & other such
judicial procedures as well as entered into law enforcement databases, thereby
causing and continuing to still cause repeated and as yet unremedied violations of
the Petitioner’s Constitutional Rights and ongoing deprivations her Federal
Entitlements, etc..
The primary issues herein are:
i.)
when does the statute of limitations begin to run in a Section
1983 false evidence claim; &
ii.)
what constitutes a “favorable termination,” as established by
Heck v Humphries, supra, in a Section 1983 false evidence claim; &
iii.) what if a Section 1983 false evidence Petitioner never achieves
such “favorable termination,” despite her overly diligent efforts to
procure such and given the Respondent’s long term and routine acts to
thwart her procurement thereof; &
iv.) when does the statute of limitations begin to run in a Section
1983 false evidence claim when the Respondents’ deliberate ongoing
unlawful acts “shock the conscience;” &
v. )
should equity avail prospective relief: &
5
vi.) does blaming and relentlessly punishing a crime victim, via
shifting all accountability for what are a municipalities’ own crimes
and illicit acts alone, by way of the long term dissemination of said
false evidence and even though her victimization had well been
established, toll the statute of limitations in a Section 1983 claim and
would justice be served by not so doing.
The Court, in McDonough v. Smith, supra, another Section 1983 false
evidence claim out of the Second Circuit, held that the statute of limitations began
to run when the criminal proceedings against him terminated in his favor. The
Second Circuit used the same case &/or standard to determine said accrual period
in both McDonough and herein.
This case presents the U.S. Supreme Court with an opportunity to
prospectively clarify the Heck “favorable termination” requirement, which would
afford all seeking federal relief under a Section 1983 false evidence claim access to
such, which said Petitioner has consistently been denied.
Moreover, at some point this Court need determine whether the whether the
Heck “favorable termination” requirement applies across the board or whether
there need be a lawful exception for Section 1983 Petitioners who have diligently
and rigorously pursued such “favorable termination,” as did the Petitioner herein.
Here, although the Petitioner diligently and rigorously pursued such
“favorable termination,” every single day for 18 years, she was unable to procure
such due to said false evidence.
6
Although the Federal Courts are divided, the statute of limitation for Section
1983 false evidence claims primarily runs from when it is “favorably terminated,” as
the matter herein was never terminated at all, and, as such, the statute of
limitations has yet to accrue, but will begin to accrue when she procures some truth
and any accountability, etc., as it is then “favorably terminated,” pursuant to Heck.
supra.
The main resultant and ongoing harms, caused by the Respondent’s falsified
evidence, include the deprivation of the Petitioner’s interests in real property, i.e.
she was deprived of her proprietary interests in two houses, the seizure of such
were further prohibited by a Permanent Order of Protection and several Court
Orders.
As a result of said false evidence, the Petitioner was not only deprived, and
continues to still be deprived, of various pecuniary interests and other monetary
resources, i.e. someone cashed in the Petitioner’s Whole Life Insurance Policy, for
which she has no recourse, and someone was receiving and spending the
Petitioner’s military retirement benefits, including her share of a sizeable lump sum
award, for well over a dozen years, as to which she also had no recourse, and during
which time the Petitioner was often, if not usually, thereby indigent and homeless.
7
The primary ongoing resultant harms further include the deprivation of the
Petitioner’s personal property interests, including well over $ 300,000.00 in
personal property, as well as he majority of her mail for 14 years, all of her ID, her
diplomas, thousands of photographs, jewelry, heirlooms, etc., and her well
maintained vehicle, which was outright stolen after first being repeatedly
vandalized, then repaired at the Petitioner’s expense, for which she had no
available means of legal redress.
As an example of the ongoing use of the false evidence herein, in &/or around
2012, the Petitioner contacted the New York State DMV to see if her vehicle, above,
which was stolen 12 years earlier although titled in solely her own name, was still
being driven.
The woman at the DMV was upset with the Petitioner, stating that said
Petitioner should not have a car on the road, impermissibly being driven by an as
yet unidentified car thief, when said vehicle was still titled in the Petitioner’s name.
In response thereto, the Petitioner told said DMV employee that she has
repeatedly reported the theft of her vehicle to various police departments and
district attorney’s offices, including both Respondents, to the Virginia Beach Police
Department, to the Commonwealth’s Attorney for the City of Virginia Beach, to the
New York State Troopers, to the Virginia Troopers, to the Erie County Sheriffs
Department, to the James City County Sheriffs Department, to the New York State
8
Office of the Inspector General, to the Inspector General for the Commonwealth of
Virginia, to the New York State Attorney General, to the Virginia Attorney General,
to the United States Attorney General, to the Buffalo Field Office of the FBI, to the
Norfolk Field Office of the FBI, to the Head of the Criminal Division of the FBI, who
accurately summarized the inner workings of the corruption herein, at the FBI
Headquarters in Washington, D.C., all of which went without even an offer of
assistance, much less any actual law enforcement or just resolve.
Hearing this, the DMV representative had no further advice. As the
Petitioner said, “I’m just one, wholly discredited person.”
About a year prior thereto, i.e. in &/or around 2011, the Petitioner also
attempted to file said Section 1983 Claim, based on the false evidence herein, in the
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, having managed to obtain a
ride thereto.
The Petitioner consulted with a representative of said District Court, who
was a smaller woman, who had longer dark hair, and whose name began with a “J.”
The representative, above, told the Petitioner that she would have to file such
Section 1983 claim in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York,
which the Petitioner could not afford to do.
The Petitioner initially returned to the Commonwealth of Virginia sometime
in 2003.
9
She did so for the ultimate purposes of re-inhabiting her Virginia Beach
residence, given that two of her treating physicians advised her that it was not safe
for the Petitioner to physically be in the Buffalo, New York area, and as it was her
children’s home state, and, as such, the Petitioner had to be physically present in
said Commonwealth, in order to have her children returned to her legal Sole
Custodianship, pursuant to 28 U.S. Code § 1728A, or the PKPA et al..
Moreover, pursuant to the language of the Treaty at the Hague Convention,
October 25, 1980, which initially established legal rights and procedures for
wrongfully removed children, “[c]hildren who are wrongfully removed must be
promptly returned,” as herein.
Once back in said Commonwealth, the false evidence continued to be
disseminated as needed. Thus, the Petitioner continued to occasionally be evicted,
continued to often either be denied employment or soon terminated therefrom, and
continued to be denied access to the courts, to legal aid, to warrant cards, to notice
of actions and proceedings, to crime victim’s advocacy, to police protection &/or
assistance, etc..
The Petitioner could not go to the Buffalo, New York area, in order to file a
Section 1983 claim any earlier than she actually did, as, after she returned to
Virginia, she lacked the money to so do. The theft of the Petitioner’s vehicle
rendered “trips” further untenable.
10
During the summer of 2006, the Petitioner had a serious work accident with
injuries. The Petitioner was initially receiving medical attention for such via
Worker’s Compensation. The Petitioner’s Worker’s Compensation claim was, via
further disseminating that which was falsified, then abruptly and inexplicably
terminated, subsequent to which she had chronic elbow pain for years.
Ultimately, said abuser abducted the Petitioner’s children in violation of a
Permanent Order of Protection, a Compliance Court Order prohibiting such, as well
as the Petitioner’s initial child custody determination, which gives said Petitioner
legal Sole Custodianship.
He did so while charges of Endangering the Welfare [of said children] were
pending against him, which he could never have illegally committed without the use
of the false evidence herein.
In this case, said abductor/abuser was, in actual fact, a narcissistic, truthchallenged, family annihilator, with violent tendencies and a personality disorder.
These health problems did not fully manifest themselves until he retired from
active duty military service.
The Petitioner was aware of the abductor/abuser’s mental issues, as well as
his threats to kill her children and his actual and escalating infliction of harm upon
them.
11
It was, and still is, very difficult for the Petitioner to function typically once
she had been rendered without her houses, without her livelihood, without her
profession, without her clothing, including her own shoes, without her reputation,
without her personal property, including her car, without her financial security,
without her medical insurance, and without her fiiends, some of which she had
known for almost 40 years, all of which the Petitioner would still have but, for the
false evidence herein.
The Petitioner has further been diagnosed as having severe ADHD &
Dyslexia, which makes everything more difficult, but much more so after her
medical insurance was fraudulently cancelled, based on said false evidence, i.e. said
fake evidence erroneously asserts that the Plaintiff has Munchausen’s Syndrome, or
that she routinely seeks medical attention for non-existent medical conditions in
order to get attention.
To note, the Petitioner only learned of the “Munchausen’s Syndrome” false
contention upon reading the Recommendation, Judgment, and Order of the District
Court for the Western District of New York, in August of 2018.
The Petitioner, having never received notice of any such actions and
proceedings to which she was a party, despite routine attempts to obtain such via
inquiry, having been denied access to pretty much every Court from which she could
12
have sought relief, having been denied all access to the court files involved herein,
having been denied warrant cards for the ongoing commission of crimes, and having
never had her subpoenas complied with, which, if they had been, may have
favorably resolved this matter shortly after its onset, still has no first-hand
knowledge of the contents of that falsified by the Respondents herein.
That is, the Petitioner believed that she may have witnessed the Respondents
illegally making up something, one of whom even made threats along those lines,
but she has never known or been made aware of what was actually fabricated in
alleged regards to herself, having consistently been denied all access to such
information.
The Petitioner has only overheard bits and pieces of that which was actually
falsified by said Respondents. The Petitioner, having been denied access to the false
evidence itself, remains unaware of the specifics of that fabricated, which renders
defending such falsehoods impossible.
Although it is difficult to function typically when you are abruptly rendered
homeless, indigent, possession-less, profession-less, and without access to courts,
police protection, notice of actions and proceedings, legal advocacy, proper medical
attention, transportation, and any remaining credibility, usually while hungry, cold,
alone, sick, under-dressed, and traumatized, but it is almost impossible to do so
13
when you are the overly conscientious Mother of relatively young children and you
are all too aware that your children are in constant, prospectively lethal danger, for
a continuous and uninterrupted twelve year period, with no available means of legal
redress therefore.
Other resultant and continuing harms, derived via the false evidence herein,
includes the deprivation of the Petitioner’s business, which she, alone, had
established in one of the houses that had illegally been seized, and which was
remarkably successful at the time of its seizure.
Being rendered homeless and without her means of livelihood, due to said
false evidence, the Petitioner ultimately could not pay her professional fees or afford
her Continuing Legal Education courses, thereby suspending her professional
license.
Not only could the Petitioner no longer practice law, which was ultimately a
result of the false evidence, but its ongoing widespread dissemination made it
difficult for her to obtain any employment, much less maintain it, subsequent to
said fabrication.
Before said falsification, the Petitioner had dozens of friends, a solid
reputation, numerous accomplishments, and professional standing.
14
Since the fabrication of said false evidence, and continuing to present, the
Petitioner is generally considered to be an isolated pariah and cautionary tale.
Everyday subsequent to the creation of the false evidence herein, the
Petitioner has made some effort to attempt to remedy this tragedy, even though she
is not accountable for its making.
She often spent her last few dollars on copies, postage, and phone cards in
lieu of food.
Although the Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Petitioner
waited too long to file this false evidence Section 1983 claim, in actual fact, the
Respondents effectively beat or ran out the statutory period by continuing to
disseminate the false evidence herein.
As such, the decision of said Court of Appeals encourages the continued
victimization of a Plaintiff &/or Petitioner, by the Defendants &/or Respondents, in
similar false evidence Section 1983 claims, in order to beat out the applicable
statutes of limitations, as here, and thereby escaping accountability.
As she was denied access to her own court files, as she was denied notice of
the actions and proceedings to which she was a party, and given that everything
that she had subpoenaed was never availed her, the Petitioner’s knowledge as to
certain matters remains quite limited, which makes it difficult to fight back,
particularly when further deprived of access to courts.
15
The Petitioner went to the Erie county Family Court in late 2013 & in early
2014, so as to have them acknowledge her legal Sole Custodianship, which they
already did immediately prior to the fabrication of said false evidence. Said court
ultimately informed the Petitioner that she would have to go along with &/or
otherwise regurgitate that which was maliciously and incorrectly asserted in said
false evidence, which would constitute perjury.
As she was never availed access to that fabricated, the Petitioner still had no
first-hand knowledge of the false evidence &/or its contents, and, as such, she could
not have perjured herself, as advised, even if she were inclined to do so.
Moreover, in &/or around January 2018, exactly concurrent with the
commencement of motion filing in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of
New York, on this Section 1983 claim, indexed as 14-cv-693 therein, someone with
access to law enforcement databases as well as knowledge of the Petitioner’s
learning disabilities again entered false evidence into said databases, so that she
could not obtain the medication needed for the proper treatment of her learning
disabilities, i.e. so as to allow her to do close work, in this case legal writing in the
absence of resources, for the ensuing 6 month period.
The Petitioner and her children are crime victims.
16
j
Thus, an exception to the Heck “favorable termination” requirement need
now be established.
The Petitioner is a crime victim who filed this Section 1983 false evidence
claim honestly, equitably, and with clean hands as well as good intentions.
Everything the Petitioner does is an attempt to procure the one thing that
she and her family have needed since said false evidence was initially fabricated,
but were always unable to procure because said evidence was falsified.
In fifing all documents herein, the Petitioner is seeking some measure of the
truth, some acknowledgment of said crimes, et al., and a degree of accountability,
however minor, for their ongoing commission.
The Petitioner and her family need this to obtain some resolution. Only then
can the crime victims make attempts towards healing as well as efforts to move on,
to which one cannot affix a monetary value.
Additionally, since the Respondents’ creation of said false evidence, the
Petitioner, alone, has borne the entire burden of attempting to “fix” or “correct” the
widespread damage caused by their frauds, which she has done day-in-day-out
without relief, remedy, or recompense, since their fabrication.
18
As the Respondents caused, and remain accountable for, the ongoing hurts,
harms, injuries, damages, and other detriments herein, which are egregious and
irreparable, perhaps it is their turn to take over damage control.
To further note, the Petitioner is presently in need of, and legally entitled to,
the immediate relief that she requested via filing the motion to Show Cause in said
Second Circuit i.e. access to and the exclusive use of her houses, her vehicles, her
furniture, her washers and dryers, her health insurance, her shoes, her Professional
License, her livelihood, etc..
In this case, the Respondents instigated the criminal proceeds against the
Petitioner, with an improper purpose and no probable cause. In fact, the Petitioner
had a Professional Nanny, not only to ensure her children’s safety, to promote their
sense of stability, and to provide said children a heightened quality of life, but also
to ward off any prospective false accusations in regards to the Petitioner’s ostensible
ability to mother, which is actually exceptional and exemplary.
Moreover, the Respondents intended to cause harm to the Petitioner,
previously a financially self-sufficient and exemplary Mother of four thriving
children, and threatened to cause her such harms in person on approximately 8
occasions.
The Respondents’ purpose was to create false-evidenee, then broadly
propagate it as well as verify it falsely under oath, to ensure the Petitioner’s
continuing harm, which has neither a legitimate nor a legal purpose.
19
The Petitioner is now, and always has been, the sole true owner of the very few
pieces of stolen personal property that she asked to be returned, via said motion,
above.
The pieces of stolen personal property in issue, although the Respondents
would not allow the Petitioner to make a police report or obtain warrant cards in
regards thereto, constitute a mere fraction of the stolen property of which she, alone,
remains exclusively entitled to use, possess, transfer, convey, destroy, etc..
As the Respondents’ use of false evidence, against said Petitioner, had &/or
has no legitimate purposes and was designed to cause ongoing harms, which it did
&/or does, it is so egregious as to “shock the conscience,” thereby violating her 14th
Amendment Substantive Due Process Rights as well.
XI. REASONS FOR GRANTING THE WRIT
The Petitioner respectfully invokes the jurisdiction of the United States
Supreme Court, having timely filed this Petition for Writ of Certiorari, and as the
Second Circuit Court of Appeals has issued a final judgment on an important question
of federal law that has not been, but need be, settled by this Court, as said final
judgment is in conflict with decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court on the same
important matter, as the Second Circuit Court of Appeals has sanctioned a decision
20
that has so far departed from the accepted and usual course of judicial proceedings,
here via effectively rewarding the actual criminals, that it warrants the exercise of
this Court’s Supervisory Power, etc., there are compelling reasons for grant of the
Writ of Certiorari most respectfully prayed for herein.
XII. CONCLUSION
The Petitioners Section 1983 claim is not only meritorious, but timely, as the
standard applicable hereto is not when she learned of the false evidence herein, or
should have learned of such, which she never did, but when this matter was
“favorably terminated.”
Due to the long term and continuing commission of frauds, crimes, &/or other
illegalities by the Respondents herein, this matter has yet to be terminated,
favorably or otherwise. Regardless of the Petitioner’s every ongoing, due, and
diligent human effort to so do, this matter has yet to be resolved.
Although she is only an innocent crime victim, this matter has yet to be
terminated, favorably or otherwise, due to the ongoing commission of false evidence
and Section 1983 violations by the Respondents, above.
Moreover, even if the standard applicable hereto was, hypothetically, when
the Petitioner “knew or should have known” of that fraudulently falsified and put
21
forth as ostensible evidence, as was held by the Second Circuit, the Petitioner may
have surmised or guessed that the Respondent’s conduct was fishy, but she was
never availed any first hand access to the actual false accusations &/or the falsified
evidence itself, despite her repeated, due, and diligent efforts to procure such.
Thus, what the Petitioner really “knows” of the evidence falsified by the
Respondents, is, in actual fact, nothing. Her awareness thereof is mere conjecture.
For the reasons stated herein, in order to make efforts towards healing and
moving forward, for the purposes of preserving the integrity of our judicial system,
and in the interest of equity, justice, and the law, the Petitioner most respectfully
now prays for relief in the form of issuance of Writ of Certiorari.
