QUESTIONS PRESENTED
I.
Did the State of Michigan by its
judiciary violate Petitioner's due process and equal
protection rights by ruling contrary to the binding
rule of law that resulted in a legally/ factually
impossible ruling when property trespass damages
were ordered against Petitioner Silas Salyers, the
deed holder and the property record owner, and to
Respondent Walker who as courts confirmed has no
transfer deed in his name?
II.
Did the State of Michigan by its
judiciary violate due process/equal protection rights
and the U.S. Constitution Contract clause when they
declared null and void Petitioner's property
documents, while Respondent filed no complaint
regarding such deeds and while Petitioner's counsel
was heavily ($3,500) fined despite compliance with
orders and ordered to pay $2,500 to Respondent's
attorney to prepare the document actually prepared
by the Petitioner's attorney??
III.
Did the State of Michigan by its
judiciary violate the U.S. Constitution Contract
clause and Petitioner's fundamental right to contract
when they awarded trespass damages to Respondent
despite confirming that there was no transfer deed in
Walker's name, and required Petitioner's vendor to
pay contract proceeds to Walker while Walker was
not a party to the Petitioner Salyers' contract?
IV. Did Michigan state officials enable
Respondent's scheme of getting Petitioner's property
without paying for it while Respondent Walker had
i
no transfer deed to Petitioner's farm, which violated
the RICO1 Act?

PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI
Real estate fraud is on the rise.1 Real estate
fraud for farm land, strategically located close to oil
companies, is even bigger. What is real estate fraud?
It is when someone obtains someone else's property
without paying for it or without paying a fair price,
and against the landowner's will. This is such a case
concerning Petitioner Silas Salyers' $600,000 farm
and home in Stockbridge, Michigan.
Petitioner Silas Salyers, the deed holder and
the property record owner of the subject property
(Petitioner's Appendix, pp. 56a-66a), by his
attorney Elena A. Paremsky, petitions this Court for
a writ of certiorari to review the record of the
Michigan Supreme Court that affirmed the lower
courts' orders awarding $60,000 alleged trespass
damages to Respondent Clifford Walker who actually
"failed to produce a deed transferring the 79-acre
parcel from Salyer to the Estate," as confirmed by
the courts. Petitioner's Appendix, pp. 12a. By
awarding trespass damages against the legal owner
of the land, the state judges denied Petitioner Silas
Salyers due process and equal protection, as they
ruled contrary to the statutes and clear precedents,
violated his fundamental right to contract and the
Contract Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
In its post-judgment orders affirmed on
appeals, the courts continued ruling against the
binding rule of law by requiring a $3,500 fine for
alleged non-compliance with the stayed interim
order, after the issuance of the final order which did

1
not include any interim order requirements, and
which was complied with before the post-judgment
show-cause hearing, and ordered Petitioner's counsel
to pay $2,500 to Respondent's counsel to draft a
document undisputedly drafted by the Petitioner's
counsel (!!). The courts also required removal of the
Petitioner's estate planning and corrective deeds
while Respondent has not filed a complaint regarding
them, which further violated Petitioner's Due
Process and fundamental contract rights.
The damages keep mounting - on November
14, 2025, in the 55th district court Case 24-1075-LT,
Judge Jordon re-appeared and at pre-trial, without
any trial, let alone by jury which Petitioner
demanded, issued a judgment of possession with an
order of eviction to Clifford Walker despite Res
Judicata and the fact that "Walker failed to produce
a deed transferring the 79-acre parcel from Salyer to
the Estate," as confirmed by the courts. Petitioner's
Appendix, pp. 12a. Respondent Walker evicted the
86-year-old Petitioner Silas Salyers on August 25-29,
2025 out of Mr. Salyers' own home and farm, and
had put the lifetime worth of Petitioner's possessions
out to the curb, although Petitioner Silas Salyers is a
deed holder and a record owner of the subject
property (Petitioner's Appendix, pp. 56a-66a; 8890a). This is an egregious violation of Petitioner's
constitutional rights and the binding rule of law.
OPINIONS BELOW
On July 25, 2025, the Michigan Supreme Court
issued Order No. 168535-6, which affirmed the Court
of Appeals Orders No. 367231, 367691 and Ingham
County 30th Circuit Court Orders in No.22-463-CH
(Petitioner's Appendix, 1a-45a).
2
JURISDICTION
Petitioner's Application to the Michigan
Supreme Court for Leave to Appeal the Court of
Appeals' order was denied on July 25, 2025, leaving
lower courts' rulings to stand, by which the state
judiciary denied Petitioner due process and equal
protection rights, and violated the Contract Clause of
the U.S. Constitution. Petitioner invokes this Court's
jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §1257, having timely
filed this petition for a writ of certiorari.
CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS INVOLVED
United States Constitution, Article VI,
Clause 2: "This Constitution, and the Laws of the
United States... shall be the supreme Law of the
Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound
thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of
any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."
United States Constitution, Amendment V:
"No person shall... be deprived of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law."
United States Constitution, Amendment
XIV: "No State shall make or enforce any law which
shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens
of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any
person of life, liberty, or property, without due
process of law; nor deny to any person within its
jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
United States Constitution, Article I,
Section 10: "No state shall pass any Law impairing
obligation of contracts."
3
STATEMENT OF THE CASE
Due process and equal protection clauses of
the U.S. Constitution guarantee that no state or
private actors under the color of state law would take
away property without due process of law. In Shelley
v. Kraemer, 334 U.S. 1, S. Ct. 836, 92 L. Ed. 1161, 3
A.L.R. 2d 441(1948), this Court affirmed that
judiciary are state actors who must comply with the
due process and equal protection requirements. The
doctrine of stare decisis precludes judges from
discriminating against litigants as it imposes a strict
duty to apply the binding law to all claimants,
affording each person the requisite due process.
This case presents a complete failure of the
Michigan state judges to afford due process or equal
protection to Petitioner/Landowner Silas Salyers
when they ruled that he is liable in trespass damages
for his trees he got harvested on his own property
(Petitioner's Appendix, pp. 56a-66a (deeds, county
property record)), to Respondent Walker who as
courts confirmed "failed to produce a deed
transferring the 79-acre parcel from Salyer to the
Estate," Petitioner's Appendix, pp. 12a.
In its post-judgment orders affirmed on
appeals, the courts continued ruling contrary to the
rule of law by requiring a $3,500 fine for alleged noncompliance with the stayed interim order, after the
issuance of the final order which did not include any
interim
order
requirements
(Petitioner's
Appendix, pp.32a-42a), ordered Petitioner's counsel
to pay $2,500 to Respondent's counsel to draft a
document undisputedly drafted by the Petitioner's
counsel. Petitioner's Appendix, p. 41a.
4
REASONS FOR GRANTING THE WRIT
To avoid deprivations of property without
due process and violations of substantive
due process right to contract, this Court
should grant review and order reversal of the
State judiciary's decisions in violation of the
binding rule of law and the U.S. Constitution
In Shelley v. Kraemer, 334 U.S. 1, S. Ct. 836,
92 L. Ed. 1161, 3 A.L.R. 2d 441(1948), the United
States Supreme Court expressly affirmed that the
action by the judiciary is a state action:
[T]he action of state courts and judicial officers
in their official capacities is to be regarded as
action of the State within the meaning of the
Fourteenth Amendment is a proposition which
has long been established by decisions of this
Court.... 'It is doubtless true that a State may
act through different agencies, either by its
legislative, its executive, or its judicial
authorities, and the prohibitions of the
amendment extend to all action of the State
denying equal protection of the laws, whether it
be action by one of these agencies or by
another.'
In the consolidated case Shelly v. Kraemer,
Supra, this Court also required a reversal in a
Michigan case Sipes v. McGhee, 316 Mich. 614, 25
N.W.2d 638 (1947) ruling that the action of Michigan
judges as state actors violated the claimant's
constitutional rights and must be reversed.
5
A. Michigan Judges David L. Jordon,
Christopher M. Murray, Michael J. Kelley,
and Noah P. Hood Violated Petitioner's Due
Process Rights
The U.S. Constitution prohibits state
governments from depriving its citizens of their
private property without due process. "No person
shall... be deprived of life, liberty, or property,
without due process of law." U.S. Const. amend. V.
Under U.S. Const. amend. XIV:
No State shall make or enforce any law
which shall abridge the privileges or
immunities of citizens of the United States; nor
shall any State deprive any person of life,
liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction
the equal protection of the laws.
1. Michigan Judges David L. Jordon,
Christopher M. Murray, Michael J.
Kelley, and Noah P. Hood Ruled
Against the Rule Of Law and Evidence
The constitutional due process requires courts
to rule according to the clear language of the
statutes, court rules, binding precedents and the
evidence to afford litigants constitutional due process
guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, U.S. Const.
amend. V, XIV. Under the doctrine of stare decisis:
"A decision of the majority of the justices of our
Supreme Court is binding on all lower courts.
People v Mitchell, 428 Mich. 364, 369; 408
N.W.2d 798 (1987). "A published opinion of the
6
Court of Appeals has precedential effect under
the rule of stare decisis." MCR 7.215(C)(2).
"The circuit court is bound to follow the
published decisions of the Court of Appeals and
the Michigan Supreme Court." People v. Hunt,
171 Mich. App. 174, 180; 429 N.W.2d 824
(1988). "There is no requirement that a circuit
judge follow the decision of the other" [emphasis
added]. Id.
“A ... court may read nothing into an
unambiguous statute that is not within the
manifest intent of the Legislature as derived
from the words of the statute itself.” Roberts v.
Mecosta Co. Gen. Hosp., 466 Mich. 57, 63; 642
N.W.2d 663 (2002); Thomas v. Dutkavich, 290
Mich. App. 393, 803 N.W.2d 352 (2010).
We are required to apply general principles of
statutory construction when interpreting the
meaning a of a court rule. Hinkle v. Wayne
County Clerk, 467 Mich. 337, 340; 654 N.W.2d
315 (2002). When the language of the rule is
clear and unambiguous, we must enforce the
meaning plainly expressed. Hinkle, supra,
citing Grievance Administrator v. Underwood,
462 Mich. 188; 612 N.W.2d 116 (2000).
The rule of law and the concept of stare decisis
are the core of our judicial system. See THE
FEDERALIST No. 78, at 470 (Alexander Hamilton)
(Clinton Rossiter ed., 2003):
“To avoid an arbitrary discretion in the
courts, it is indispensable that they should be
bound down by strict rules and precedents,
which serve to define and point out their duty
7
in every particular case that comes before
them; and it will readily be conceived from
the variety of controversies which grow out of
the folly and wickedness of mankind, that the
records of those precedents must unavoidably
swell to a very considerable bulk, and must
demand long and laborious study to acquire a
competent knowledge of them.”
This case is a flagrant disregard of the binding
rule of law, where state judges had awarded $60,000
trespass damages against Petitioner Silas Salyers,
the deed holder and the official property record
owner (Petitioner's Appendix, pp. 56a-66a (deeds,
county property record)), to Respondent Walker who
as courts admitted "failed to produce a deed
transferring the 79-acre parcel from Salyer to the
Estate" (Petitioner's Appendix, p.12a) and has not
paid anything to Petitioner Silas Salyers for his land.
a. Courts Confirmed That In This
Land Trespass Action
Respondent Walker Has No
Transfer Deed In His Name
Pursuant to the trespass law, MCL 600.2919(1)(a)(c):
(1) Any person who: (a) cuts down or carries
off any wood, ..., trees, or timber or despoils or
injures any trees on another's lands, ... is liable
to the owner of the land ... for 3 times the
amount of actual damages.
"The plaintiff, claiming the right to recover as
the owner of this land, is required, in order to
establish that claim, to prove her title. It is necessary
for her to show a title to the property before she can
8
recover in any case." Dawson v. Falls City Boat Club,
125 Mich. 433, 84 N.W. 618 (1900). "[T]the burden
of proof is on the plaintiff, and, in order to recover at
all, she must prove that she is the owner of the land
by a series of deeds coming down ..., accompanied by
possession and claim of ownership..., by a
preponderance of evidence [emphasis added]." Id.
In this case, as courts confirmed, Respondent
Walker had undisputedly "failed to produce a deed
transferring the 79-acre parcel from Salyer to the
Estate." Walker v. Salyers, an unpublished opinion
per Curiam of the Court of Appeals, decided on April
9, 2025 (Dockets No. 367231/367691), at 6.
Petitioner's Appendix, pp. 12a (COA opinion). The
deeds in the chain of title and the official property
record are in the Petitioner Silas Salyers' name
(Petitioner's Appendix, pp. 56a-66a). Michigan
state judges made a clear error of binding land
ownership and trespass law when they ordered
Petitioner Salyers, the deed holder and the record
owner, to pay trespass damages for his own property
and his harvested trees to Respondent Walker who
has no transfer deed in his name, and has not paid a
dime to Petitioner Silas Slayers for his property.
b. State Judiciary In This Action
In Clear Error Used Deemed
Admissions From the Prior
Action Contrary To MCR 2.312(D)
The fatal error of Michigan Judges David L.
Jordon, Christopher M. Murray, Michael J.
Kelley, and Noah P. Hood was that they applied
9
deemed admissions from the prior 20-162-CH action2
to the subsequent action, which is expressly
prohibited by the binding rule of law as stated in
MCR 2.312(D)(2):
An admission made by a party under this
rule is for the purpose of the pending action
only and is not an admission for another
purpose, nor may it be used against the party
in another proceeding.
Also see Radtke v. Miller, Canfield, Paddock & Stone,
453 Mich. 413, 419; 551 N.W.2d 698 (1996).

In now closed CC 20-162-CH, Mr. Salyers' attorneys Navarre
and Leon failed to secure and file timely answers to requests for
admissions, which resulted in the admissions deemed by the
court when the court established for the purposes of CC 20-162CH only pursuant to MCR 2.312(D)(1),(2) as if Mr. Salyers
transferred the 79-acre property to his late sister Evelyn
Walker, while in fact he did not. Mr. Salyers' former attorneys
in CC 20-162-CH also overlooked to file a timely motion to set
them aside. The court in CC 20-162-CH never issued an order
to change the defective $1 quitclaim 2015 deed for the 1 acre
parcel with an erroneous description into a deed for the 79 acre
parcel in Walker's name, but only awarded Walker's attorneys'
fees for alleged Slander of title by Lis Pendens in an apparent
attempt to compensate for Mr. Salyers' attorneys' issues with
discovery, although Clifford Walker's counter-claim was
frivolous because deemed admissions did not exist at the time it
was filed. COA judges Gadola, Greenleaf Maldonado, and Patel
ruled against the binding law that deemed admissions do not
form a factual basis for a frivolous claim because they simply
did not exist at the time the claim was filed. In Re Attorney Fees
and Costs, 233 Mich. App. 694, 593 N.W.2d 589 (1999). The
binding law is clear that Clifford Walker's ownership claims
were frivolous because he was on notice of the mistaken
description in the deed, and he must pay Silas Salyers attorney
fees in the lower court and on appeal. Spitzley v. Spitzley, 477
Mich. 989, 725 N.W.2d 464, 465 (2007). BJ's & Sons Construction
Co. v. Van Sickle, 266 Mich. App. 400, 700 N.W.2d 432 (2005).

This CC 22-463-CH trespass action is clearly
not the "pending action" CC 20-162-CH, which is now
closed. This trespass action is undisputedly "another
proceeding," in which the use of any deemed
admissions from another action is prohibited by the
binding law. MCR 2.312(D)(2).
Also, yet in another, 2nd (!!) trespass case that
Respondent Walker filed, DC 24-1075-LT, which is
pending on appeal at the moment, Circuit Court
Judge Aquilina had expressly agreed that there "may
have been an error" regarding the use of deemed
admissions in the subsequent two trespass actions
contrary to MCR 2.312(D), and recommended filing
an appeal with the higher courts, but declined to set
aside Walker's judgment of possession:
THE COURT:
... [M]aybe the
Supreme Court will help you further, but I am
going to affirm on all the issues. ... I think
that your arguments are compelling, but I'm
not swayed that I need to undo the history
here. It's very clear what happened in terms
of the admissions, and there may have been
an error... So I am affirming the orders of the
prior courts, and your issue then is to take it
to a higher court. Transcript of July 9, 2025
hearing, CC 24-919-AV, pp. 27-28.
However, Judge Aquilina made a clear legal
error by following the erroneous decisions of other
judges, rather than the clear language of the statutes
and binding precedents under the rule of stare
decisis:
"The circuit court is bound to follow the
published decisions of the Court of Appeals
11
and the Michigan Supreme Court." People v.
Hunt, 171 Mich. App. 174, 180; 429 N.W.2d
824 (1988). "There is no requirement that a
circuit judge follow the decision of the other"
[emphasis added]. Id.
Michigan judges David L. Jordon, Christopher
M. Murray, Michael J. Kelley, and Noah P. Hood had
disregarded
clear
legislative
directives
and
impermissibly applied the prior CC 20-162-CH action
deemed admissions to the present action, which
produced a bizarrely impossible result - Petitioner
Silas Salyers, the deed holder and the official
property record owner (Petitioner's Appendix, pp.
56a-66a (deeds, county property record)), was
charged with property trespass by Respondent
Walker who, according to these judges, had "failed to
produce a deed transferring the 79-acre parcel
from Salyer to the Estate." Petitioner's
Appendix, p. 12a.
According to Michigan judges David L. Jordon,
Christopher M. Murray, Michael J. Kelley, and Noah
P. Hood, Respondent Walker was relieved from
producing a valid transfer deed in the chain of title
in his name because they in clear error decided it to
be "conclusively established" through a deemed
admission from the PRIOR case CC 20-162-CH that
"[Salyer] deeded the 79-acre parcel to Evelyn."
Michigan judges David L. Jordon, Christopher M.
Murray, Michael J. Kelley, and Noah P. Hood,
contrary to MCR 2.312(D)(2) and the binding
landownership precedents, had clearly erred in
stating that Respondent Walker did not need to
produce a transfer deed of the 79-acre to him in his
trespass action when every claimant must do so to
prove land ownership to recover as a landowner:
12
"The plaintiff, claiming the right to recover as
the owner of this land, is required, in order to
establish that claim, to prove her title. It is
necessary for her to show a title to the property
before she can recover in any case. ...[T]the
burden of proof is on the plaintiff, and, in order
to recover at all, she must prove that she is the
owner of the land by a series of deeds coming
down.., accompanied by possession and claim of
ownership..., by a preponderance of evidence
[emphasis added]." Dawson v. Falls City Boat
Club, 125 Mich. 433, 84 N.W. 618 (1900).
2. State judges Violated Petitioner's
Fundamental Right to Contract
The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth
Amendment protects the individual right to freedom
of contract as a substantive fundamental right.
Lochner v. New York, 198 U.S. 45 (1905). "[T]he
State, in the exercise of its powers, may not unduly
interfere with the right of the people to enter into
contracts that may be necessary and essential in the
enjoyment of the inherent rights belonging to
everyone, among which rights is the right "... to live
and work where he will; to earn his livelihood by any
lawful calling; to pursue any livelihood or avocation."
Id. at 66.
Real property contract law is clear that land
conveyance documents must be in writing, must be
certain and definite as to property and other
conveyance terms, and must be signed by the
party to be charged. MCL 566.106, MCL 566.108;
Marina Bay Condominiums, Inc v. Schlegel, 167
Mich. App. 602, 423 N.W.2d 284 (1988).
13
"[T]he action of state courts and judicial
officers in their official capacities is to be regarded as
action of the State within the meaning of the
Fourteenth Amendment. Shelley v. Kraemer, 334
U.S. 1, S.Ct. 836, 92 L.Ed. 1161, 3 ALR 2d 441(1948).
State judges David L. Jordon, Christopher M.
Murray, Michael J. Kelley, and Noah P. Hood had
ruled contrary to the law of real property contracts
and contrary to their own admission of fact that
Respondent "Walker failed to produce a deed
transferring the 79-acre parcel from Salyer to the
Estate." Petitioner's Appendix, p. 12a.
In addition, Michigan Judges David L.
Jordon, Christopher M. Murray, Michael J. Kelley,
and Noah P. Hood had completely obliterated
Petitioner Silas Salyers' contract with his vendor, the
logging
company,
and
affirmed/
authorized
Respondent Walker to receive and keep $10,000 for
the remaining logs that Tri-State Hardwood Co.
harvested on Petitioner Silas Salyers' farm in July of
2022 pursuant to its 2021 contract with Petitioner
Silas Salyers. Petitioner's Appendix, p. 67a.
3. State Judges David L. Jordon,
Christopher M. Murray, Michael J.
Kelley, and Noah P. Hood Violated
Petitioner's Substantive Due Process
Rights By Their Corrupt Conduct
In Refusing to Follow the Binding Law
Either "corrupt or egregious conduct that so
shocks the conscience as to give rise to a due process
claim. Mettler Walloon v. Melrose Twp, 281 Mich.
App. 184, 212; 761 N.W.2d 293 (2008). "[I]t is corrupt
for an officer purposely to violate the duties of his
office․.. Any intentional and deliberate refusal by an
14
officer to do what is unconditionally required of him
by the obligations of his office is corrupt as the word
is used in this connection because he is not permitted
to set up his own judgment in opposition to the
positive requirement of the law. ... [F]or nondiscretionary acts, as here3, the refusal to perform a
required duty is corruption per se․” Perkins & Boyce,
Criminal Law (3d ed.), p. 541-542, 546-547, cited
in People v Coutu (On Rem) 235 Mich. App. 695, 705706; 599 N.W.2d 556 (1999).
It was the corrupt conduct of state judges
David L. Jordon, Christopher M. Murray, Michael J.
Kelley, and Noah P. Hood who, as stated above,
refused to perform their duties to rule according to
the clear language of the statutes, court rules, and
binding precedents, that resulted in violation of
Petitioner's substantive due process rights.
B. Michigan Judges David L. Jordon,
Christopher M. Murray, Michael J. Kelley,
and Noah P. Hood's Orders Of Removal of
Petitioner's 5-31-22 Land Filings Violated
Petitioner's Due Process
1. State Judiciary Had No Jurisdiction to
Provide Relief To Respondent For
Claims Not Stated In His Complaint
Before property rights can be taken away, to
afford due process, such claim according to the law
must be brought within the court's jurisdiction. The
3
“[A] court must strictly follow decisions handed down by
higher courts within the same jurisdiction.” In re AGD, 327
Mich. App. 332, 339; 933 N.W.2d 751 (2019). "When the
language of the rule is clear and unambiguous, we must enforce
the meaning plainly expressed. Hinkle, supra.
15
jurisdiction conferred on the Circuit Court is "to hear
and determine" "claims:"
MCL 600.605 Circuit court; original
jurisdiction.
Sec. 605.
Circuit courts have original
jurisdiction to hear and determine all civil
claims and remedies, except where exclusive
jurisdiction is given in the constitution or by
statute to some other court or where the circuit
courts are denied jurisdiction by the
constitution or statutes of this state.
MCR 2.111(B) requires for the claims to be
stated in the complaint, counterclaim, crossclaim, or third-party complaint to afford a party
due process and equal protection to claimants and
defendants as prescribed by law. See MCR 2.111(B):
"Statement of Claim. A complaint, counterclaim,
cross-claim, or third-party complaint must contain
the following:
(1) A statement of the facts, without repetition,
on which the pleader relies in stating the cause
of action, with the specific allegations necessary
reasonably to inform the adverse party of the
nature of the claims the adverse party is called
on to defend; and
(2) A demand for judgment for the relief that
the pleader seeks.
The court's jurisdiction is limited to those
claims brought before it in a complaint. The only
complaint in this action is the one by Plaintiff
Walker. There are undisputedly no counterclaims,
cross-claims, or third-party complaints. The only
claims in Respondent Walker's complaint are for
16
trespass and conversion of timber. Petitioner's
Appendix I, pp. 52a-55a.
Michigan courts violated Petitioner's due
process and equal protection rights when they
granted relief to Plaintiff Walker on claims not
stated in his Complaint by refusing Petitioner due
process procedures for a trial, answer, discovery, etc.
afforded to other litigants under the state law, and
which were denied to him without any rational basis.
The August 30, 2022 non-final order
(Petitioner's Appendix, p. 42a) contrary to the law
required Petitioner to remove his May 31, 2022/July
20, 2022 corrective documents filed before this action
was commenced while no claim regarding such
documents was stated in the complaint (Petitioner's
Appendix I, pp. 52a-54a). Filing of such documents
is authorized by the statutes, MCL 565.451d and
MCL 565.451a. Moreover, such August 30, 2022 nonfinal order appeared to attempt to legitimize
Walker's claim of ownership by removing corrective
documents. Respondent Walker agreed that
corrective documents unequivocally indicated that
Defendant Silas Salyer owns the subject property.
Appellee admitted in his COA Appellee's Brief, §2 at
p. 33 and on appeal in a prior case cc 20-162-CH on
April 5, 2023 that as a result of the Appellant's
counsel's "deeding the 79-acre farm to Defendant
Salyers" by May 31, 2022 "Quit Claim Deed and
Affidavit," Silas Salyers "owns the 79-acre farm." 4
However, removal would not help Respondent's
4

"[Ms. Paremsky] ... went out and prepared and recorded her own version
of a cloud on title on that deed that reflects that her client now owns the
79-acre farm." See 1:01:24-1:1:39
17
alleged ownership claims either, because, as the
Court of Appeals affirmed, Respondent Walker does
not have a transfer deed in his name (Petitioner's
Appendix, p. 12a), has not paid Petitioner Silas
Salyers anything for the property, and has no
standing to force Petitioner, the deed holder and the
official property record owner, not to record
documents for Petitioner's own property.
2. State Judges Orders/Affirmation of
Removal Of Petitioner's Deeds From
the Register of Deeds Violated His
Fundamental Right to Contract
The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth
Amendment protects the individual right to freedom
of contract as a substantive fundamental right.
Lochner, Supra. Michigan judges David L. Jordon,
Christopher M. Murray, Michael J. Kelley, and Noah
P. Hood violated Petitioners' fundamental right to
contract by ordering removal of his land conveyance
agreements that he filed for his property at the
Register of Deeds, while he was not served with a
complaint regarding such documents.
3. State Judges Sanction Orders, Issued
Contrary to Binding Law, Violated Due
Process
In the post-judgment orders affirmed on
appeals, the judges continued ruling against the
binding rule of law by requiring a $3,500 fine for
alleged non-compliance with the stayed non-final
order, after the issuance of the final order which did
not include any non-final order requirements
(Petitioner's Appendix, p. 32a-35a), and which
was strictly (i.e. "hypertechnical]ly", (Petitioner's
18
Appendix, p. 24a)) complied with anyway before the
show-cause hearing; and ordered Petitioner's counsel
to pay $2,500 to Respondent's counsel to prepare a
document undisputedly prepared by the Petitioner's
counsel: "Drafted by: Elena A. Paremsky (P62996)
Attorney at Law." Petitioner's Appendix, p. 41a.
C. Michigan Judges David L. Jordon,
Christopher M. Murray, Michael J. Kelley,
and Noah P. Hood Violated Petitioner's
Equal Protection Rights
Equal protection of the laws is guaranteed by
the U.S. Constitution Amendments V and XIV. "The
United States Supreme Court allows such 'class of
one' claims to be brought, but requires a plaintiff to
show that it was actually treated differently from
others similarly situated and that no rational basis
exists for the dissimilar treatment." Willowbrook v
Olech, 528 U.S. 562, 564; 120 S.Ct. 1073; 145 L.Ed.2d
1060 (2000).
The plaintiff is not required to
"demonstrate an exact correlation... in order for the
two to be considered 'similarly-situated'; rather...
[they] must be similar in `all of the relevant
aspects.'" Ercegovich v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co,
154 F.3d 344, 352 (6th Cir. 1998).
In Shelley v Kraemer, 334 US 1, S Ct 836, 92
L Ed 1161, 3 ALR 2d 441(1948), the United States
Supreme Court noted that the action of judiciary is a
state action that might result in violations of the
equal protection of the laws:
[T]he action of state courts and judicial officers
in their official capacities is to be regarded as
action of the State within the meaning of the
Fourteenth Amendment is a proposition which
19
has long been established by decisions of this
Court. ... 'It is doubtless true that a State may
act through different agencies, either by its
legislative, its executive, or its judicial
authorities, and the prohibitions of the
amendment extend to all action of the State
denying equal protection of the laws, whether it
be action by one of these agencies or by
another.' (citations omitted).
Michigan judges David L. Jordon, Christopher
M. Murray, Michael J. Kelley and Noah Hood denied
Petitioner Silas Salyers equal protection of the laws
when they ruled contrary to the clear language of the
statutes and the binding precedents, and ordered
Petitioner to pay trespass damages for the trees he
got harvested on his own property, of which he is the
deed holder and the official property record owner
(Petitioner's Appendix, pp. 56a-66a (deeds, county
property record)), to Respondent Walker who as
judges admitted "failed to produce a deed
transferring the 79-acre parcel from Salyer to the
Estate." Petitioner's Appendix, pp. 12a.
D. Michigan Judges David L. Jordon,
Christopher M. Murray, Michael J. Kelley,
And Noah P. Hood Violated the Contract
Clause of the U.S. Constitution
U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 10
guarantees that "[n]o state shall pass any Law
impairing obligation of contracts." In Shelley v.
Kraemer, Supra, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed
that the action by the judiciary is a state action.
An Act of February 17, 1922, amending Jud.
Code, § 237, provides:
20
"In any suit involving the validity of a
contract wherein it is claimed that a change
in the rule of law or construction of statutes
by the highest court of a state applicable to
such contract would be repugnant to the
Constitution of the United States, the
Supreme Court shall, upon writ of error,
reexamine, reverse, or affirm the final
judgment of the highest court of a state in
which a decision in the suit could be had."
In this bizarrely legally/factually impossible
case, Michigan judges directly violated the Contract
Clause by imposing a contract when there was none.
In order for Respondent Walker to claim
ownership of Petitioner Salyers' $600k personal
residence and farm to recover on his trespass claim,
Respondent Walker had to present a conveyance
agreement that comports to the Statute of Frauds,
signed by Appellant Salyers, the party to be charged.
MCL 566.106, MCL 566.108, Marina Bay
Condominiums, Inc v. Schlegel, 167 Mich. App. 602,
606; 423 N.W.2d 284 (1988). The Court of Appeals
had confirmed that Respondent "Walker failed to
produce a deed transferring the 79-acre parcel
from Salyer to the Estate." Petitioner's
As the courts confirmed,
Appendix, p. 12a.
Petitioner Silas Salyers had undisputedly never
signed a conveyance of his home and his 79-acre
family farm to Respondent. Yet, state judges,
contrary to the clear language of MCR 2.312(D), in
clear error had use deemed admissions imposed for
late discovery responses from the PRIOR CC 20-162CH action to this trespass proceeding, CC 22-463CH. Respondent Walker had paid $0 to Petitioner
Silas Salyers, and the larger parcel was not for sale.
21
The courts in this action have made a ruling
that grossly impaired Petitioner's right to contract as
they have imposed a contractual obligation on him as
if he had forgone the ownership of his $600k family
farm and his 43-year residence to the ex brother-inlaw without Respondent Walker paying for it and
while Petitioner had no intentions of selling it, let
alone giving it away to his former in-law.
Michigan officials - the police, Ingham County,
and Stockbridge Township - are 100% sure that
Petitioner Silas Salyers is the owner of his residence
and 79-acre farm because he is the holder of the
deeds in the chain of title. (Petitioner's Appendix,
pp. 56a-64a). Michigan police on July 9, 2022 refused
to charge Petitioner with trespass when Respondent
tried to have the police charge him with trespass.
Petitioner's Appendix, pp. 68a-72a.
Michigan judges - state actors - also grossly
impaired Petitioner's vendor's obligation on the
contract with Petitioner for harvesting Petitioner's
timber when they issued an order directing
Respondent Walker to collect $10,000 for remaining
Petitioner's logs on the Petitioner's property
(Petitioner's Appendix, p. 44a) that Walker had
collected. Petitioner's Appendix, p. 46a.
THEREFORE, this case presents an urgent
opportunity for this Court to restore justice
guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution that people's
property rights cannot be taken away without due
process or equal protection of the laws, and that the
state judges are not free to make contracts for people
when there are none. Absent this Court's
intervention, state judges will continue with
impunity to take property rights from whomever
22
they personally wish contrary to binding rule of law
and fundamental contract rights, and transfer them
for $0 to those who have not paid for the property
and have no transfer deeds in their names.
E. Respondent Clifford Walker, A Resident of
Florida, His Attorney Martin G. Lozier, and
Non-party Pamela Griffith's Activities In
Violation of RICO Act To Get Petitioner
Salyers' $600k Home And Farm Without a
Transfer Deed And Without Paying For It
RICO makes it a crime “for any person
employed by or associated with any enterprise
engaged in, or the activities of which affect,
interstate or foreign commerce, to conduct or
participate, directly or indirectly, in the conduct of
such enterprise's affairs through a pattern of
racketeering activity.” 18 U.S.C. 96 §1962(c).
“Racketeering activity” includes “any act which is
indictable under any of the following provisions of
title 18, United States Code: ...section 1341 [18
U.S.C. 96 § 1341] (mail fraud), section 1343 [18
U.S.C. 96 §1343] (wire fraud).” Id. §1961(1). 18 U.S.
Code § 873:
Whoever, under a threat of informing, or as a
consideration for not informing, against any
violation of any law of the United States,
demands or receives any money or other
valuable thing, shall be fined under this title or
imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
The current criminal enterprise scheme to get
Petitioner's $600k farm and home without paying for
it started out when Respondent Clifford Walker, a
resident of Florida, in 2019 texted Petitioner Silas
Salyers an extortion/blackmailing threat to coerce
23
him into giving up his home and farm to Respondent
Clifford B. Walker in exchange for Respondent's not
reporting Petitioner to authorities about his SSI
application. Petitioner's Appendix, pp. 87a. The
allegation was not true, but coercion was forceful and
real. Respondent Clifford Walker's threats and
coercive actions continued. In 2022, Respondent
Walker's daughter, Pamela Griffith, called the police
on Petitioner Silas Salyers telling them to charge
him with criminal trespass of Petitioner's own
property. Pamela Griffith made false statements to
the police that allegedly Petitioner was renting from
Respondent Walker, and has not paid rent for
awhile. Pamela Griffith also made false statements
that Respondent Walker was a fee simple owner of
the property. Pam failed to produce a transfer deed
in Respondent Walker's name. None exists. The
Court of Appeals confirmed that "Walker failed to
produce a deed transferring the 79-acre parcel from
Salyer to the Estate." (Petitioner's Appendix, p.
12a). The police refused to charge Petitioner Silas
Salyers, the deed holder and the official record owner
with trespass. Petitioner's Appendix, pp. 87a.
Respondent Clifford Walker and his attorney
Martin Lozier had repeatedly intimidated the
Stockbridge and Ingham County tax authorities
pressuring them to put the property record in the
Respondent Clifford Walker's name, but the
authorities refused because Respondent Clifford
Walker does not have a transfer deed in his name as
the courts confirmed that "Walker failed to produce a
deed transferring the 79-acre parcel from Salyer to
the Estate." (Petitioner's Appendix, pp. 12a).
The
three
attempted
24
schemes
were
not
working for Respondent Clifford B. Walker - (1)
Petitioner would not give in to Respondent Clifford
Walker's blackmail/extortion threats, (2) the police
would not charge Petitioner with trespass because he
was the holder of the deeds in the chain of title
(Petitioner's Appendix, pp. 56a-64a, 68a), and
Michigan county officials affirmed that based on
deeds in the chain of title that Petitioner Silas
Salyers is the owner of his home and farm.
Petitioner's Appendix, p. 65a. Thus, in July of
2022, Respondent Clifford Walker continued his
harassment scheme by filing a civil trespass action
alleging damages for trees that Petitioner's vendor
harvested on the Petitioner's farm pursuant to
Petitioner's 2021 contract. (Petitioner's Appendix,
p. 67a) that Respondent Walker was not part of.
Respondent Walker's attorney Martin G.
Lozier, repeatedly misrepresented in open court and
in his pleadings that his client was the owner of the
Petitioner's home and farm, without producing a
transfer deed in his name. Despite the fact that it
was Petitioner Silas Salyers who owned the property
as the deed holder and the property record owner
based on his undisputed deeds in the chain of title
submitted to the court (Petitioner's Appendix, pp.
56a - 66a), a retired visiting judge David L. Jordon
awarded property trespass damages to Respondent
Walker without stating any basis for such ruling and
heavily fined Petitioner's attorney because Petitioner
was indigent. Court of Appeals judges Christopher
M. Murray, Michael J. Kelley, and Noah P. Hood,
despite their own admission that Respondent
"Walker failed to produce a deed transferring the
79-acre parcel from Salyer to the Estate"
(Petitioner's Appendix, pp. 12a-13a), affirmed the
25
property trespass damages.
This is the 3rd case in the Court of Appeals
that Attorney Martin Lozier (64) had before Judge
Christopher Murray (61). Judge Christopher Murray
is a graduate of the small private Michigan college
(1400 students) where Attorney Lozier's children,
Martin G. Lozier, Jr. and Kelsey Lozier, also received
their degrees. In all three court of appeals cases
concerning land disputes, Judge Christopher Murray
ruled for Attorney Martin Lozier's clients on land
ownership claims when the judges stated that they
were fee simple owners, while they did not pay for
the properties (adverse possession despite permissive
use)5 and despite the declaration documents clearly
stating that the ownership was to the surface waters
but not for the land strip in question.6
Judge Murray said that the Court of Appeals
was ruling for Clifford Walker and that "it may
happen again, from this Court, from this Panel,"7
and that if Petitioner and his counsel would continue
to defend against trespass on appeal, they will be

"going at [their] own peril,"8 which is authoritative
intimidation with "peril"9 of undisclosed nature
hanging in the air over this farmer and his counsel.
As a consequence of the state judges' ruling in
violation of binding law, the 86-year-old Petitioner's
situation is extremely dire. As of August 31, 2025,
his 86-years worth of possessions have been
scattered and crumbled by a 12-person eviction crew
on his front lawn, left to deteriorate (Petitioner's
Appendix, pp. 88a-90a), in front of the house that
he had built, which he had never transferred to
Respondent Walker, and for which Respondent
Walker has not paid a dime to Petitioner Salyers.
CONCLUSION AND RELIEF REQUESTED
Petitioner is respectfully requesting that this
Court issue a writ of certiorari to review the record of
the Michigan Supreme Court which denied
Petitioner's Application for leave to appeal the lower
courts' decisions that violated his due process/ equal
protection rights, his fundamental right to contract,
and the Contract Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
Respectfully Submitted,
