LAWS [NVOLVED

The Fridth Amendment of the Constitution

of the United States of America and Atatutes

26 USC §7402(6) and §7604la) are reproduced

An the appendax.

STATEMENT OF THE CASE

Two cases were initiated by Aervice of

"Petition to enforce internal revenue

service summons” ( p. A - 29), on the

Carters by maik on or about June 5, 1989.

Jurisdiction 44 averred to be invoked

pursuant to 26 USC §§7402(b6) and 7604(a).

The petitions reser to "an investigation

into the tax Liability of" the respondents

(para IV) and "cokLectl(ing) the Federal tax

Liabihity of" the respondents (para xX) as

the ultimate objectives.

Carters filed motions to consokidate on

Juky 5, 1989 and the cases were consolidated

by order dated August 7, 1989.

Carters abhso filed motions for a more

definitive pkeading and/or motion to dismiss

on JuLy 5, 1989, porAnting out that there was

no Legak authority cited “that may impose a

Legak Liabikity on the respondent” nor an

averment that "the respondent may be

Lawhully subject to a specific Legiskated

3

tax Amposed by TAtle 26 and as authorized by

Apecrific constitutionak provision,” and that

"no cause of action has been stated.”

The magistrate denied the motions on

the grounds that enforcement of the summon,

would not viokate Fourth Amendment right,.

A hearing was held on November 25,

1989, and Carter again brought to the

court's attention that no Apecifsic tax has

been Adentified. The court responded: "Akg

rAgnrt. We'khL address that in just a

moment.” Tran. p5. Carter pointed out that

the grounds raised in the motion to dismiss

(there was no ckaim the Carters had a Legal

nesnonsrbilvity to pay any tax) had not

neceived a definitive wkling by the court.

Tran. pé. Upon request by Carter "to

Adenti4y in the petition where (the

pLainti44) requests the information 407 an

income tax” (Tran. p7), the court responded:

"(W)eke, Tithe 26 of the United States Code

4A4 the provision of the United States Code

4

which imposes fsederak income tax and 4t’'’sA my

belies that that’s the tax which they are

investigating in this case. Mr. Josephson,

ane you in fact investigating income tax 40%

these two individuals for the years

Apecified in the petition?” Mr.

Josephson: "Yes, Ain, (and the evidence

wil show) the Carters’ income wars An excer4

of the statutory minimums 40% 4iling

neturns.” Tran. p7. and aqau their Levels

—

of income were Auch as to put them Aan excess

of the minimum §rLing nequirements ...” Ad

ps. There are no fsiking requirements

mentioned in the petition.

The Carters objected that such

statutes should be cited in the petition

where they could be contested. id p9. The

count responded: "Mr. Carter, the wees of

federal and civil procedure are very Renient

Land citing Giaccio v Pennsylvania, 382 US

399, and no Law has been averred/shown that

On February 5, 1992, Judge Whipple

ordered the report and necommendation be

adopted.

Canters 4iked a motion to modify

judament and motion to dismiss and

"neitenated the Lack of any Law being cited

by the Petitioner that imnoses any tax or

avering the respondents are Legally Liable

hor any tax”; that "the right to due procert

duty upon a ceritizen” is appkLicable to a tax

summons; and that a chalLenge to an

"ossontial allegation that the night to be

Ritiaation,” and "Ait i4 the nesponsrL bility

Judge Whipple denied the motions on

April 27 and notice of anneal war filed on

June 26, 992.

Carter's Briefs on appeal presented five

questions relating to the leqal adequacy of

the petition. LaSalle and Powell were

wnalyzed to have established the legal

nesAponsAcbilhities under the tax code with

Apecifiic references to taxes within

Subtitles A thru F as pnart ok the

"Reqitimate purpose” prior to discussing

factual irssucs. The additional sAtandarnds

were Auggested to be sAunnpLemental criteria

for factual i44AUCA. A neading of the

cases that negates a petitioner's obligation

to plead the Lawful authority required by

due process war Auggested to not be

Aupported by the cases. Ad 7 - 10.

The historic origin of 26 USC §7602 was

neviewed and revealed that prior to the

necompiking in 1954 (which was done without

materiak change), the statute clearly

10

nequired the qoveranment to show the citizen

an A44AUC of Liabikhity-in-fact (books and

necords of respondents) and Auch

adjudication i+ hense inapplicable to the

instant questions of Law The cases were

questioned as maintaining the leqislative

Antent. id 11 - 14.

The requirements of due process were

discussed on pages 14 to 20 and included "it

iA a proposition which hardly Aeems to need

expLication that a hearing which excludes

consideration of an element essential to the

decision...does not meet (the due process

parties 44 ground for reversal.” citing

Berger v US, 295 US 7§&.

The government's Briek identified the

Carters as "taxpayers" over 70 times on the

basis they were respondents (id pl) and

AuagqesAted on pages 10 to 12 that a mere

exhibit attached to the petition 4ulhills

notifacation requirements but was unable to

offer even one Aupportative authority. The

government adknowkedged that no Atatute

imposing a tax Ciabikhity had been previously

cited by Auggesting, ina footnote on page

13 (where it war Long past the point of

bering Aubmitted to contestation) that

Section 1 of Tithe 26 may be one of the

missing Legal authorities. The government

AUgGgeAted that Lack of fihed forms was

AUsficient cause to enhorce the swnmons,.

The brniek additionally relied heavilu upon

numerous appellate carer folLowing United

States v Powell, 379 US 45, and the use of

affidavits attached to petitions.

REASONS FOR GRANTING THE WRIT

The anstant 444uce4 transcend a mere

conflict with innumerable holdings of this

court. Wwe are confronted with a rnenudiation

of a most baric right of 4xree men, evolved

over more than Aeven hundred eiaqhty yeara,

wrested srom obstinate monarchs at the point

of a Awonrd, and enshrined in Accurned

enclaves of Paw in the manner of a civilized

hocAeLtY. 16A Am Jur2d Constitutional Law

§§06; Ochoa v Morales, 230 US 1393; Mugler v

Kansas, 123 US 623; Munn v [@einor,, 94 US

fia Robertson v Baldwin, 165 US 275; Brown

v Walker, 167 US 591.

The due process clause of the

Constitution of the United States 44 one of

the few rights that can be dinecthy traced

to a Anecifiic cause of the Maaqna Charta.

The 39th Chanter reads: "No A4£nooman Aha Fe

be taken, or imprisoned, or disseised, on

16

outlawed, or exiked, or anuwirse destroyed,

nor Ahakl we qo upon him, nor Aend upon him,

but by the Lawhul judgment of his peers or

by the faw of the land.” This nriqht was

extended to all British citizens in 1354 and

has been Ancorpnorated into the due process

chause of the Fifth Amendment. KnoxviklLe

,[ron Co v Harbison, 183 US 13; Ingraham v

Wright, 430 US 651.

It wa4 a quarantee that the king would

not dare Aet his hoot across the threshold

of a neasrant'’sA hove. No matter how Ahaku

the door Ative or how Leaky the rook, the

king could not impose. The power that the

king had at his beck and call was

insubsicient; the requirement was that the

peasant's tranquility war not to be

disturbed unless he had violated a Law on

faikhed to fulfhill a Lawhul responsibility.

Cookey, Constitutional Limitations, pn 351,

355. The entine purpose for Magna Charta

17

i

was to prevent anbitrary actions by the

king, and the 39th. chapter in nanticular

was Antended to prevent arbitrary

conktscation of pronertu/imprisonment under

guise of a tax enkorcement: that the

individual i4 to be left alone unless the

government shows good cause to disturb his

tranquikity. Tehan v Shott, 382 US 406,

416; Dent v West Vinginia, 129 US 114;

Ecsenstaddt v Baird, 405 US 438. This

court, in construing the Law, will harken

back to the purposes for the creation of the

aw. Michigan v Tucker, 417 US 433;

Whitman v Oxford National Rank, 176 US 559:

US v CRasAic, 313 US 299; PowekR v Alabama,

287 US 45.

The government has the power of a

AumMonA and claims, upon that power alone,

access to the innermost privacy of the

peasant’sA possessions. When we consider a

pokice department, we approve the power of

18

deadly force, but the exercise of Auch

power must be for authorized objectives.

neh. Sernews v US, 325 US 91. Similarly,

when we consAider a tax colhection agqencu,

we approve the power of a AummOnNA. Rut the

exercise of thirA nower must also be for

authorized objectives---AsAuch as the

colRection of taxes. The use oh power

without Ahowing a Pawhul objective 44 an

abuse of power. The Rawhul objectives of

the [.R.S. ane the determination and

collection of taxes in Subtit&@es A thu E

and none of these authorized

objectives/"Legitimate purposes” have been

averred and put into contestation bu the

In coflonia® times, our forefathers were

faced with officials who could enter any

39§, and in US v Euqe, 444 US 707, thia

court declaned the authority claimed bu

#7602 i4 not to be "in denoagqation of anu

constitutional rights." ie iy Go a

Constitutional rights ane the paramount

authority of the land. Marbury v Madison, 5

US 137; Watson v Memphis, 373 US 526;

Nationa? Mutual Insurance v Tidewater, 337

US 582.

The court of anneal's’ Atated the

Canters4 ane "taxpayers" (without any leqak

juUAtif*fication) and hense, via 26 USC

H7701(a)(14), they ane subiect toa tay

without the government Aubmitting any Peaa

authority to conterstation/ajiudication. This

conkhhicts with FRora v US, 362 US 145, and

Spreckhes Sugar v MeCLain, 192 US 397. The

court additionally did not comply with the

holding of this court that a hedernal nevenue

agency must dinecthy trace their authority

26

to a constitutional provision to sAnvoke the

jurisdiction of a court. United States v

Hill, 123 US 681, 686. Res. Carters’ Rriek

pZzz.

The action of the court of appeals

appears to even be inconsistent with each

justice's oath of office "to uphokd the

Constitution of the United States.”

{A discussion of jurisdictional issues 44

does not take judicial notice that usurping

jurisdiction is the quintessential of

tyranny, additionak discussion woukd be
