In re AUGUSTUS SIMMONS,
Petitioner
On Petition For Writ Of Mandamus
To The Supreme Court Of Connecticut
PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
AUGUSTUS J. SIMMONS
P.O. Box #1
Windsor, CT 06095
(860) 569-6714
Owner-Title Holder
FEDERAL QUESTION
[DAMAGES - JUST COMPENSATION]
1.) Wherein undisputed, state acknowledged (Trans.
June 7, 1982) Petitioner, Owner, Title Holder filed
under Simmons v. Wetherall, #163875 with the Su-
preme Court of Connecticut on October 23, 2007 a
[SECOND] MANDAMUS APPLICATION at 6(h)
under OBSTRUCTION of JUSTICE-DESTROYING
EVIDENCE revealing the position of the United
States Supreme Court relative to a governmental
regulation or action that has deprived a claimant of
his property without just compensation is an — “Es-
sentially ad hoc factual inquir[y].” Penn Central
Transportation Co. v. New York City, 438 U.S. 104,
124, 98 S.Ct. 2646, 57 L.Ed.2d 631 (1977), reh. de-
nied, 439 U.S. 883, 99 S.Ct. 226, 58 L.Ed.2d 198
(1978); see also Keystone Bituminous Coal Assn. v.
DeBenedictis, 480 U.S. 470, 473-74, 107 S.Ct. 1232,
94 L.Ed.2d 472 (1987); Pennsylvania Coal Co. v.
Mahon, 260 U.S. 395, 413, 43 S.Ct. 158, 67 L.Ed. 322
(1922).
2.) What the Constitution does require is that the
time of the invasion in case at bar, on or about July 1,
1962 constitutes “The act of taking by the United
States,” and, “it is that event which gives rise to the
claim for compensation and fixes the rate as of which
the land is to be valued.” United States v. Dow, 357
U.S. 17, 22, 78 S.Ct. 1039, 1044, 22 L.Ed.2d 1109
(1958).
il
FEDERAL QUESTION -— Continued
3.) Wherein the State [Agent] — Connecticut Depart-
ment of Transportation (C.D.O.T.), without initiating
any further affirmative action, after two (2) null and
void condemnation attempts, took some numbers off
the clock on the wall to make a “verbal offer” in
December, 1977, wherein the United States Govern-
ment - IN BAD FAITH - had displaced the owner in
[1962] of a six (6) acre Parcel “C” as depicted on a
map on file in Town of East Granby, Connecticut land
records at Vol. 12, (map) page 568, — It was ILLEGAL
— UNCONSTITUTIONAL --UNCHARACTERISTIC —
CHAMPTEROUS for the reviewing Connecticut
Supreme Court to seize, |Transmogrify] petitioner
owner’s tort action (Simmons v. Wetherall #163875)
into an Eminent Domain Action and categorize such
tortious conduct — “A JUDGMENT.” See Standara Oil
Co. v. Missouri, 32 S.Ct. 406 (1912).
4.) Whereupon, under Federal Question in Shoe-
maker v. United States, 147 U.S. 282, 13 S.Ct. 361 at
383 (1893) the United States Supreme Court of last
resort reported (a) The courts have no discretion at
all; (b) it is by the act directed to ascertain and assess
the value of the land; (c) the means by which the
court is to do it is also provided for; (d) if the court
should decline to discharge that duty the commission
(owner in case at bar), would be entitled to a MAN-
DAMUS to compel it.
5.) Under Constitutional Law our highly respected
United States Supreme Court has gone on record
ill
FEDERAL QUESTION - Continued
that: the government is bound to make just compen-
sation for whatever it shall take from the individual
is undoubted; and in the words of the Supreme Court
in Great Falls Mfg. Co. v. Atty. General, 124 U.S. 596,
8 S.Ct. 631 (1888): “It is to be assumed that the
United States is incapable of BAD FAITH, and that
Congress will promptly make the necessary appro-
priations whenever the amount of compensation has
been ascertained in the mode prescribed.”
TRESPASSERS AB-INiTIO
6.) Where the Federal Question is — crystal clear —
under Constitutional Law that the owner was [DIS-
PLACED] by actions of the Federal Government,
(F.A.A.), with their [exclusive] usurpation of the
ground and air space; the State of Connecticut,
(C.D.0.T.), pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 4628 was acting
as AGENT for the Federal Government — who — in
BAD FAITH have been engaging in [LEASES] with
the TRESPASSER (C.D.O.T.) for in excess of four (4)
decades to avoid paying rent or just compensation of
one (1) legal dollar — ignoring, disregarding the
[FACT] that state courts had reverted ownership on
March 24, 1972 with the Owner a prevailing party
after two (2) failed condemnation attempts; making
the United States Government (F.A.A.) and the State
Transportation Department (C.D.0.T.) TRESPASS-
ERS AB-INITO as of March 25, 1972, and, continuing
to present date.
iv
FEDERAL QUESTION -— Continued
7.) Wherein the Supreme Court of Connecticut has
ruled in Karp v. Urban Redevelopment Comm. of
Stamford, 162 Conn. 525, 294 A.2d 633 (1972) that
the filing of a written statement of compensation with
the clerk’s office of the Superior Court — Did Not —
originate a civil action.
8.) [NO] FACTS; [NO] PLEADINGS; [NO] HEAR-
INGS; [NO] ADDRESSING of DAMAGES or MAR-
KET VALUE; [NO] NOTICES or SERVICE on the
OWNER and NECESSARY PARTIES; [NO] ACCEP-
TANCE of UNCONSTITUTIONAL VERBAL “SLUSH
FUND MONIES’; [NO] TENDERING ANY DEEDS;
[NO] INITIATING ANY AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, of
any nature, post March 24, 1972; [NO] SUBJECT
MATTER JURISDICTION EVER ACQUIRED by the
SUPERIOR COURT BELOW; [NO] JURISDICTION
of the PARTIES by the SUPERIOR COURT BELOW;
[NO] JURISDICTION of the PROCESS by the SU-
PERIOR COURT BELOW who have [EXCLUSIVE]
JURISDICTION on all REAL PROPERTY MAT-
TERS.
9.) In Simmons v. Wetherall, 472 F.2d 509:(1973)
THE Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that: The
allegations about the land upon which the runway
lights are placed stand on a different footing — if the
state had fenced it off and put runway lights on it.
Assuming all that to be true, we are unable to con-
clude that “it appears beyond doubt that the plaintiff
can prove no set of facts in support of his claim which
Vv
FEDERAL QUESTION - Continued
would entitle him to relief.” Conley v. Gibson, 355
U.S. 41, 45-46, 78 S.Ct. 99, 102, 2 L.Ed.2d 80 (1957).
If the land is in fact Simmons, and the state indeed
has fenced it off without paying him due compensa-
tion or instituting court proceedings, it would seem
that a deprivation of appellant’s right to “enjoy” the
use of his land is stated. See Lynch v. Household Fin.
Corp., 405 U.S. 538, 544, 92 S.Ct. 1113 (1972).
10.) The FACT that the TRESPASSER STATE
AGENT, acting in collusion and conspiracy with
malicious, tortuous, felonious, champterous, trespass-
ing, private counsel (Rogin-Hirtle) -— who — “Re-
tracted” — “Retrenched” — “Gave notice of not going to
try the case” — nevertheless — filed an appearance
to OBSTRUCT JUSTICE, DESTROY EVIDENCE
relative to a Federal Program/Project, [NULLIFYING]
the “Reported” remand of the Second Circuit (472
F.2d 509 (1973)); [NULLIFYING] the judgment of
Referee Shapiro on Superior Court records as of
January, 17, 1977 that constituted a taking of plain-
tiff’s land without statutory authority; and uncom-
pensated taking in the constitutional sense in
violation of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to
the United States Constitution and in violation of
Article First, Sec. 11 of the Connecticut Constitution
(Ex. #16).
11.) The ruling by the Connecticut Supreme Court
under Simmons v. Wetherall, supra, that such EXTRA-
ORDINARY UNCONSTITUTIONAL ACTIVITY was
vi
FEDERAL QUESTION — Continued
to be labeled a supplemental or stipulated judgment —
warrants — a writ of MANDAMUS setting such
decree aside and the United States negotiate a
[LEASE] with the owner — not the TRESPASSER.
MANDAMUS APPLICATION #1 (August 8, 2007)
12.) Petitioner/Owner/Titleholder not having been
paid-offered-deposited or ascertained or assessed the
value of the land —- “TAKEN” by the Federal Agency
(F.A.A.) as of July 1, 1962 of ONE LEGAL AMERI-
CAN DOLLAR, AND, the filing of MANDAMUS
APPLICATION #1 on August 8, 2007 with the Su-
preme Court of Connecticut was just another [Exer-
cise in Futility]; the state’s highest reviewing court —
continually — relying on its [ORDER] of May 31, 2000
(Ex. #10) that the plaintiff is hereby prohibited from
filing pleadings in this court that are related to
Docket #163875 that was, is, remains an active case
as a supplement to the due process clause of the Fifth
and Fourteenth Amendments; that just compensation
(damages) must (shall) be addressed as a result of
two (2) null and void condemnations; that the issue of
just compensation was — [NEVER] - addressed,
ascertained, determined with the OBSTRUCTION
OF JUSTICE by nullifying all hearing dates (Ex.
#14); that the agent (C.D.0.T.) taking some numbers
off the clock on the wall to make a - VERBAL OFFER
— AND, the owner informed the malicious, felonious,
tortious private counsel (Rogin-Hirtle) representing
vii
FEDERAL QUESTION - Continued
the owner, in writing (Ex. #4), in polite fashion to:
[Take your verbal offer and get the hell out of town —
while you are in one piece]. The Superior Court record
shows the [off-the-wall disputed numbers] returned to
the Treasury on December 23, 1991 (Ex. #9).
13.) WHERE — The Special Act #170 (1969) was a
Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment Supplement
against any defenses of sovereign immunity and/or
the reviewing Connecticut Supreme Court acting —
[WITHOUT] — any affirmative action, notice, service,
hearings, assessments, judgments before the court
below: our United States Supreme Court has stated:
Rule 71A(h) “Provides that, except for the single issue
of just compensation, the trial judge is to decide all
issues, legal and factual, that may be presented.”
United States v. Reynolds, 397 U.S. 14, 19, 90 S.Ct.
803, 806, 25 L.Ed.2d 12 (1970).
14.) Under Federal Question and PROCEDURAL
DUE PROCESS our United States Supreme Court —
continually - DEVIATING from its ruling of Chicago
B. & O.R. Co. v. Chicago, 17 S.Ct. 581 (1897) that a
court rendering a judgment should have [JURISDIC-
TION], not only of the parties, but of the subject
matter and the process; DEVIATING from its basic
fundamental constitutional mandate that COMPEN-
SATION AND DAMAGES must (shall) be deter-
mined, ascertained as of date or time of taking
(notwithstanding two (2) failed condemnation at-
tempts) and INTEREST must (shall) be considered
vill
FEDERAL QUESTION -— Continued
pursuant to its holding in United States v. Dow,
supra, referenced in #2; DEVIATING from its holding
in Connecticut v. Doerr, 111 S.Ct. 2105 (1991) (Con-
necticut Case) that some type of post-deprivation
hearing must take place — as a minimum; DEVIAT-
ING from its holding in Seaboard Airline R. Co. v.
United States, 261 U.S. 299, 306 (1923) whereby the
owner is not limited to the value of the property at
the time of taking: He is entitled to such addition as
will produce the full equivalent of that value paid.
INTEREST at a proper rate “is a good measure by
which to ascertain the amounts to be added.”
15.) Under Federal Question, where the issue from
day one was the condemnation action by the state in
February 1962, against a “FEDERAL TAKING for
AIRPORT PURPOSES” of a parcel designated as
Parcel I (c) on land records of East Granby, CT at Vol.
12 (map), p. 568 whereby just compensation could not
be agreed upon, AND, was — never — resolved
[COULD NOT] be resolved where on June 6, 1982
(quarter century ago) in Superior Trial Court before
Hon. Dupont, A., the state (Assistant Attorney Gen-
eral, Victor Feingold) challenged the Trial Court with
not having subject matter jurisdiction — or the proc-
ess, and, Attorney Walter Bass made clear that
neither he nor his clients (Valente-Allaire) were ever
served with process or notice, coupled with the FACT
that the (Rogin-Hirtle, Esq.’s) law firm was “Not
going to try the case” — yet — the felonious, tortious,
ix
FEDERAL QUESTION — Continued
malicious petitioner’s counsel having been discharged
(Ex. #4, December 23, 1977); having legally withdrawn
from representation (Ex. #6, April 19, 1978); having
intentionally, maliciously, feloniously — in direct viola-
tion of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments and
Special Act #170 (1969) of SHANGHAIJING] the judg-
ment of Referee Shapiro on Superior Court records of
Docket #162923 as of January 17, 1977 (Ex. #16);
SHANGHAIING] scheduled hearing dates (Ex. #14),
denying a day in court to address damages;
SHANGHAI[ING] two (2) active Federal Court Cases
including 472 F.2d 509 (1973) on remand; adding
INSULT TO INJURY by putting a taking on the land
records — but — no returns to the Superior Court of
_ Parcel II (Parcel (D)) of a 1.12 acre “TAKING” in 195,
(half century ago) of land for Federal-Aid Highway,
Route #20 without any compensation consideration; a
taking on the land records — but — no returns to the
Superior Court of Parcel III (Parcel A, 2.2 Acres)
without any compensation consideration; adding
Exhibit (B) stating that petitioner/owner [COVE-
NANTS] restrictions regards height, lighting, right of
first refusal, and other encumbrances without any
discussion or hearing on the merits, no returns to the
Superior Court; the owner putting a DISSOLUTION
OF ATTACHMENTS PURSUANT TO C.G:S. § 52-327
on the land records on December 1, 1996 (Ex. #2) —
warrants — justifies - mandates - A MANDAMUS of
wiping the record clear of the Connecticut Supreme

Court decision 180 Conn. 587 (1980) where there is
NO RECORD before the court below.
FINALITY
16.) Citing United States v. 341.45 Acres of Land, 633
F.2d 108 (C.A. Minn. 1980) wherein this United States
Supreme Court remanded for a new trial — for several
reasons — including the fact the government may not,
however, defer the deposit of funds in court in order to
compel an agreement on the price of the property, see
42 U.S.C. § 4651(7); “A ‘Final Decision’ genetally is one
which ends the litigation on the merits and leaves
nothing for the court to do but execute the judgment.”
Catlin v. United States, 324 U.S. 229, 233, 65 S.Ct.
631, 633, 89 L.Ed. 911 (1945), albeit, in case at bar,
there was [NO] litigation on the merits, [NO] affirma-
tive action or appraisals initiated after March 24,
1972, [NO] decisions or judgments before the Superior
Court who have [exclusive] jurisdiction of real property
matters; where the determination of the award is an
offer subject to acceptance by the [FORMER CON-
DEMNEE] and the record is — ultra clear — the current
owner would not [TAKE-A-BITE] of an apple that was
rotten-to-the-core for the obvious reason that courts —
regardless of circumstances - DO NOT — permit a
second bite, and, where the record is — ultra clear —
there was no tendering of deeds under our AMERICAN
JURISPRUDENCE (Ex. #5, April 19, 1978) making —
Ultra Clear — the ‘TAKING’ United States Government

and the State of Connecticut (C.D.O.T.) were, are, con-
tinuing TRESPASSERS until such time as AFFIRMA-
TIVE ACTION is initiated, instituted, begun to acquire
Eminent Domain Rights in the subject properties.

To the Honorable Chief Justice Roberts
and Associate Justices of the
Supreme Court of the United States
Pursuant to Rules 17 and 20 of the Revised Rules
of the Supreme Court of the United States, Petitioner
applies for a Writ of Mandamus, directed to the
Honorable Borden, Judge of the State Supreme
Court, the respondent named above; and in support of
this application petitioner states:
¢
ORDER AND OPINION BELOW
On May 13, 1980, the Supreme Court of Con-
necticut with NO RECORD at the court below (Supe-
rior) of any process being initiated by respondent,
Connecticut Department of Transportation that
would get the subject property before the court after
two (2) null and void condemnation attempts; where
petitioner’s newly obtained replacement counsel
(Rogin-Hirtle, Esquires) phone called to inform peti-
tioner — “They were NOT going to try the case,” and,
before the ink was dry on the contract, proceeded to
file an appearance to [DEACTIVATE] every active
State and Federal court case pending, including
Simmons v. Wetherell, 472 F.2d 509 (2d Cir. 1973) on
remand; where the record shows a discharge within
ten (10) days of appearance, was, ineffective to con-
trol additional damage being imposed against their
former client; where the two bureaucracies were, are,
and continuing as “CO-CONSPIRATORS” in “LEAS-
ING” of the subject property; that the United States
2
has in BAD FAITH used leases as a defense for not
paying a DIME of compensation for forty-five (45)
years, and, the Connecticut Supreme Court making it:
a “TROICA” by putting its stamp of approval on the
“combining of cases” to [put down the drain] thirty
(30) days of trial and judgment for plaintiff on Supe-
rior Court records on January 17, 1977 by Referee
Shapiro, L. of Simmons v. Parizek, Docket #162923,
BUT, more importantly under Rules of Procedure the
owner has a CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to not even
listen to a [verbal] offer, has a CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHT to not tender any deeds (Ex. #5); has a CON-
STITUTIONAL RIGHT to Due Process in the pri-
mary sense of Notice and Opportunity to be heard;
the [borrowing-seizure] by the Connecticut Supreme
Court of petitioner’s tort action, Simmons v. Wether-
all, #163875 to proclaim, render a judgment where
there is not any proceedings instituted by the “Agent
— C.D.O.T.,” no pleadings, no docket number, no
determinations — ascertainments - written state-
ments of compensation; no proceedings ~ of any
nature — before the court below since March 24, 1972
when ownership reverted back to the owner; where
the record shows these basic fundamental constitu-
tional infringements were argued a quarter century
ago on June 7, 1982 in Superior Court before Hon.
DuPont, A., after the purported three dollar bill
judgment of Supreme Court of May 13, 1980 — DIS-
ALLOWING any distribution of “verbal slush finds”;
— the U.S. acknowledges al] Federal Funds ear-
marked for the subject Federal Project were reverted
back into their General Fund (Ex. #13); the corrupt,
3
discharged, legally withdrawn petitioner’s counsel
(Rogin-Hirtle, Esquires) in collusion, conspiracy with
the state agent (C.D.O.T.), who never instituted any
eminent domain procedures, never gave notice or
served interested and necessary parties, never having
established through appraisals — or other means — of
fair compensation as of date of taking or the value of
allowable damages, no written offers, wherein,
whereby all these BASIC PROTECTIONS under 49
C.F.R. § 24.102 are a MANDATE for Federal Projects,
nevertheless, place encumbrances and maps on land
records without using a sheriff or indifferent person —
that could never be executed, there obviously was no
returns to the Superior Court and, the Supreme
Court would NEVER allow, permit, grant a HEAR-
ING as required by statute of its validity and the
United States Supreme Court in Connecticut v. Doerr,
501 U.S. 1, 111 S.Ct. 2105, 115 L.Ed.2d 1 (1991) made
clear that some 'type of post-deprivation hearing must
take place — as a minimum. The vacating of the
attachments is part and parcel of this mandamus
application.
[DUE PROCESS]
1. Where the right to procedural due process is
“absolute” in the sense that it does not depend upon
the merits of a claimant’s substantive assertions, and
because of the importance to organized society that
procedural due process be observed, see Boddie v.
Connecticut, 401 U.S. 371, 375, 91 S.Ct. 780, 784,
28 L.Ed.2d 113 (1971); Anti-Fascist Committee uv.
4
McGrath, 341 U.S. 123, 171, 172, 71 S.Ct. 624, 648-
649 (1951) (Frankfurter, J., concurring), the denial of
procedural due process should be actionable for
[substantial] damages where the injury from two (2)
null and void condemnations is obvious mandating a
remand, where, petitioner never had — “A-Day-In-
Court.” There was NO TRIAL.
[UNITED STATES]
2. Where United States effectively appropriated
lands in connection with construction of navigational
instrumentation FORTY-FIVE (45) years ago, thereby
interfering with recognizable interest of owner,
United States was obliged to pay owner fair rental
value of that property for period involved, U.S.C.A.
Const. Amend. 5, Loretto v. Teleprompter Manhattan
CATV Corp., 458 U.S. 419, 102 S.Ct. 3164, 73 L.Ed.2d
868 (1982). See also Kaiser Aetna v. United States,
444 U.S. 164, 100 S.Ct. 383, 62 L.Ed.2d 332 (1979);
and United States v. General Motors Corp., 323 U.S.
373, 382, 65 S.Ct. 357, 89 L.Ed. 311 (1945); Kimball
Laundry Co. v. United States, 338 U.S. 1, 7, 69 S.Ct.
1434, 93 L.Ed. 1765 (1949).
[U.R.A.]
3. The U.R.A., Public Law 91-646, 84 Stat.
1894, enacted January 2, 1971 has a policy declara-
tion wherein the statute mandates that benefits
[shall] be extended to persons displaced by real
property acquisitions when the real property is
+)
acquired “for a program or project undertaken by a
Federal Agency” 42 U.S.C. § 4622(a) or “(WJhenever
real property is acquired by a State Agency... .” 42
U.S.C. $§ 4627, 4628.
[DISPLACED PERSON]
4. Under 42 U.S.C. § 4601(6), persons displaced
by action of the United States come within the defini-
tion of “displaced person,” since petitioner was dis-
placed “as a result of the acquisition of ... real
property ... for a program or project undertaken by a
Federal Agency, or with Federal Financial Assis-
tance,” was intended to benefit individuals who are
not willing sellers.
[LEASING]
5. Where the LEASING is one, if not the most
important issue, in this four decades fiasco and was
claimed — again — at #8 under supporting facts of
DIRECT ATTACK MOTION, dated January 3, 2007,
that is repeated henceforth: Where the “LEASING”
between the two bureaucracies (Connecticut Depart-
ment of Transportation and United States — F.A.A.) of
subject real property has, was, is, [continues] an
outright, blatant, denial of just compensation to the
owner, and, a 30-day trial over the period of one year
before Referee Shapiro concludes on January 17,
1977, the effect of which was to curtail, stop the
leasing of property the state does not own nor never
legally acquired, and, EJECT the Federal Agency for
6
not paying rent; was awarded reimbursement of
certain expenses as permitted by law, BUT, lo and
behold, the Connecticut Supreme Court — [NULLI-
FIES] — the judgment of Simmons uv. Parizek,
#162923 under the canopy of “COMBINING OF
CASES’ in 180 Conn. 587 (1980); was [and CON-
TINUES], an outright, intentional, blatant violation
of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments that private
property cannot be taken without just compensation.
[INTEREST]
6. Citing Jacobs v. United States, 290 US. at
16-17 (1933) reads: The amount recoverable was just
compensation, not inadequate compensation. The
concept of just compensation is comprehensive and
includes all elements, “and no specific command to
include interest is necessary when interest or its
equivalent is a part of such compensation.” The
owner is not limited to the value of the property at
the time of taking; “he is entitled to such addition as
will produce the full equivalent of that value paid
contemporaneously with the taking.” Interest at a
proper rate “is a good measure by which to ascertain
the amount so to be added.” Seaboard Air Line R. Co.
v. United States, 261 U.S. 299, 306 (1923).

tained, offered, determined or deposited by neither

Supporting Facts
1. Special Act #170 (1969) Simmons uv.
Wetherall #163875
Where the District Court, Hon. M. Joseph Blu-
menfeld, Chief Judge, recognized and acknowledged
the reason for the Special Act was to allay, foreclose
any further claims of [Sovereign Immunity] and the
Second Circuit Court in Simmons v. Wetherell, 472
F.2d 509 at 512 (2d Cir. 1973) remanded stating — if
the land is in fact Simmons’ and the State indeed has
fenced it off, and pat runway lights on it, without
paying him due compensation or instituting court
proceedings, it would seem that a deprivation of
appellant’s right to “enjoy” the use of his land is
stated. See Lynch, supra, 405 U.S. at 544, 92 S.Ct.
1113.
9
Citing Brinkerhoff, supra, 281 U.S. at 682 (1930)
~ whether acting through its judiciary or through its
legislature, a state may not deprive a person of all
existing remedies for the enforcement of a right,
which the State has no power to destroy, unless there
is, or was, afforded to him some real opportunity to
protect it. The ORDER of May 31, 2000 (Ex. #10) was
an attempt to [DETRACT] from its Fourteenth
Amendment Constitutional deprivations, and, lack of
JURISDICTION.
2. No-Day-In-Court .
Under Procedural Due Process whereby the
reviewing State Supreme Court cannot, has not
entertained any appeals that are not from a Final
Judgment, or no written Statement of Compensation;
where there was no compliance with C.G.S. § 8-129
(Ex. #15) regards possession of land that is manda-
tory; where the placing of encumbrances on the land
records under plaintiff’s Tort Action, #163875, is
prima facie evidence of no state proceedings being
instituted; where the return to the Treasury of the
“Verbal Slush Fund” (Ex. #9) is prima facie evidence
of no proceedings instituted; where the state agency,
in collusion and conspiracy with the federal agency,
were, and continue, engaging in “LEASING” private
property for decades of denial of compensation, it was
awkward and embarrassing to institute condemna-
tion proceedings (third time) where the owner [DID
NOT] entertain any part of a verbal slush fund or
tender any deeds.

8. Uniform Land Acquisition Policies
Act
Where throughout this decades-long litigation
there was intervening congressional procedures that
superseded all State and Federal procedures (P.L. 91-
646), Uniform Land Acquisition Policies Act of 1970,
effective January 2, 1971, 84 Stat. 1894 and plaintiff
proceeding in two (2) separate 42 U.S.C. § 1983
Federal Court actions, Appeal #72-1541 and #73-
14806 in which jurisdiction was correctly predicated
upon 28 U.S.C. § 1343(3) referencing Lynch v. House-
hold Fin. Corp., 405 U.S. 538, 92 S.Ct. 11138, 31
L.Ed.2d 424 (1972) seeking reimbursement for his
reasonable costs, disbursements and expenses, in-
cluding reasonable attorney, appraisal, and engineer-
ing fees and in Lewis v. Pennington, 400 F.2d\806, 819
(6th Cir. 1968) the “prevailing party is prima facie
entitled to costs”; in Drakes Bay Land Co. v. United
States (CT. — CL. No. 275-66) defendant conceded in
1972 plaintiff is entitled to recover in that case rea-
sonable attorney, appraisal, and engineering fees
actually incurred, and Drakes Bay, supra, is analo-
gous to case at bar in the fact thst the taking was ten
years earlier, the successful prevailing party in
procedural victories, JUSTIFY an award of attorney
fees under 42 U.S.C. § 4654 (304C); the reverting of
title and ownership on March 24, 1972, not with-
standing ten (10) years of occupancy and use by the
United States was an automatic mandate the federal
agency comply with the congressionally mandated
legislation, effective January 2, 1971, per 42 U.S.C.
11
§ 4601 as principal and the state agency an agent
under 42 U.S.C. § 4628.
4. State or United States Obligation Un-
der Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments
Where plaintiff seeks just compensation for the
use and occupancy of its property by the United
States from July 1, 1962, to present day and beyond,
a period during which plaintiff was deprived of the
use and enjoyment of a part of its land without re-
ceiving compensation either from the United States
or the State and the navigational servitude taking by
the United States was permanent in nature, the
State of Connecticut has made its position clear that
it is the United States’ obligation to address fair
compensation and pay interest, where no compensa-
tion has been made, as expressed in the dialogue of
Carl Roessler, Inc. v. Ives, 156 Conn. 131 at 142, 143
(1968) that reads:
The same result has been reached by the
federal courts in condemnations of land by
the United States Government. “The law is
clear that in eminent domain cases the gov-
ernment, after filing a declaration of taking
and depositing in court the estimated just
compensation, cannot change its mind and
divest itself of the title taken.” Chardler v.
United States, 372 F.2d 276, 278 (10th Cir.
1967). “Broadly speaking, the United States
may take property pursuant to its power of
eminent domain in one of two ways: it can
enter into physical possession of property
12
without authority of a court order; or it can
institute condemnation proceedings under
various Acts of Congress providing authority
for such takings. Under the first method —
physical seizure — no condemnation proceed-
ings are instituted, and the property owner
is provided a remedy under the Tucker Act
... to recover just compensation ... Under
the second procedure the Government may
either employ statutes which require it to
pay over the judicially determined compen-
sation before it can enter upon the land ...
or proceed under other statutes which enable
it to take immediate possession upon order of
court before the amount of just compensation
has been ascertained ... although in both
classes of ‘taking’ cases — condemnation and
physical seizure — title to the property passes
to the Government only when the owner re-
ceives compensation, see Albert Hanson
Lumber Co. v. United States, 261 U.S. 581,
587 [43 S.Ct. 442, 67 L.Ed. 809], or when the
compensation is deposited into court pursu-
ant to the Taking Act, . . . the passage of title
does not necessarily determine the date of
‘taking’. The usual rule is that if the United
States has entered into possession of the
property prior to the acquisition of title, it is
the former event which constitutes the act of
taking. It is that event which gives rise to
the claim for compensation and fixes the
date as of which the land is to be valued and
the Government’s obligation to pay interest
accrues. See United States v. Lynah, 188 U.S.
445, 470-471 [23 S.Ct. 349, 47 L.Ed. 539];
13
United States v. Rogers, 255 U.S. 163 [41
S.Ct. 281, 65 L.Ed. 566]; Seaboard Airline R.
Co. v. United States, 261 U.S. 299 [43 S.Ct.
354, 67 L.Ed. 664].” United States v. Dow,
357 U.S. 17, 21, 78 S.Ct. 1039, 2 L.Ed.2d -
1109; see Mastic Acres, Inc. v. State, 46 Misc.
2d 660, 663, 260 N.Y.S. 2d 532.
5. Just Compensation
Instituting Simmons v. Wetherall #163875 was
for claims that plaintiff suffered — substantial —
damages that [must] be heard and determined in the
manner provided by the State Statutes C.G.S. §§ 48-
16, 48-17a and plaintiff being a person displaced due
to a governmental program requiring the acquisition of
real property, and the State Court having a right to
resolve the “FEDERAL QUESTION,” [must], pursuant
to the Uniform Act (PL. 91-646), mandatory on all
states no later than July 1, 1972, requires a state
agency, so acting, to provide reimbursement of certain
expenses such as attorney, appraisal, engineering
fees. The lawless conduct by plaintiff’s counsel
(Rogin-Hirtle) that was in direct conflict with state
statutes and superseding Federal Law reveal that
[Additional Damage] and [infringement of the consti-
tutional rights of plaintiff] was imposed upon plain-
tiff where no notice or opportunity for a hearing was
allowed, permitted, or granted relative to the deter-
mining of fair compensation, no notice or hearing was
allowed, permitted, or granted relative to costs that
included attorney fees; where the record shows the
14
first brief to the State Supreme Court in October
1978 was submitted under State v. Simmons,
#202121 an injunction action that was dismissed for
failure to prosecute, that was REJECTED by the
State Supreme Court Clerk, who, remarked the briefs
[#9200] could be RE-FILED under Simmons uv.
Wetherall #163875 wherein the matter of JURISDIC-
TION was raised at page 10 and 11 and had to
be addressed when raised, but, was TOTALLY
IGNORED.
From day one DAMAGES is, was that part of fair
compensation that [MUST] be addressed and the
Connecticut Supreme Court having decreed in 1965
that: “Damages sustained in a taking by eminent
domain are to be measured as of date of taking.”
Research Associates, Inc. v. New Haven, 152 Conn.
137, 139, 204 A.2d 833 (1965); Slavitt v. Ives, 163
Conn. 198, 207, 303 A.2d 13 (1972). Under Title III of
PL. 91-646, mandatory on all states, 42 U.S.C.
§ 4655(2) reads: property owners will be paid or
reimbursed for necessary expenses as specified in
sections 303 and 304 (42 U.S.C. §§ 4653, 4654).
In Almota Farmers Elevator & Warehouse Co. v.
United States, 409 U.S. 470, 473-74, 93 S.Ct. 791,
794, 35 L.Ed.2d 1 (1973), the Supreme Court defined
just compensation as follows:
“(Jjust compensation means the full
monetary equivalent of the property taken.
The owner is to be put in the same position
monetarily as he would have occupied if his
property had not been taken.” United States
15
v. Reynolds, 397 U.S. 14, 16 [90 S.Ct. 803,
805, 25 L.Ed.2d 12] (1970) (Footnotes omit-
ted). See also United States v. Miller, 317 US.
369, 373 [63 S.Ct. 276, 279, 87 L.Ed. 336]
(1943). To determine such monetary equiva-
lence, the Court early established the concept
of “market value”: the owner is entitled to the
fair market value of his property at the time
of the taking. New York v. Sage, 239 U.S. 57,
61 [36 S.Ct. 25, 26, 60 L.Ed. 143] (1915). See
also United States v. Reynolds, supra, [397
U.S.] at 16 [90 S.Ct. at 805]; United States v.
Miller, supra, [317 U.S.] at 374 [63 S.Ct. at
280]. And this value is normally to be ascer-
tained from “what a willing buyer would pay
in cash to a willing seller.” (Miller, supra, 317
U.S. at 374, 63 S.Ct. at 280]. See United
States v. Virginia Electric & Power Co., 365
U.S. 624, 633 [81 S.Ct. 784, 790, 5 L.Ed.2d
838] [1961]. See also United States v. 103.38
Acres of Land, more or less, etc., 660 F.2d 208,
211 (6th Cir. 1981).
Fee Award
Citing Farrar v. Hobby, 506 U.S. 103, 113 S.Ct.
566, 574 (1992): Once civil rights litigation materially
alters the legal relationship between the parties, “The
degree of the plaintiffs overall success goes to the
reasonableness” of a fee award under Hensley uv.
Eckerhart, 461 U.S. 424, 103 S.Ct. 1933, 76 L.Ed.2d
40 (1983). Indeed, “the most critical factor” in deter-
mining the reasonableness of a fee award “is the
degree of success obtained.” As part of the MOTION
16
FOR REMAND is the entitlement by the owner of
+ [FEES] congressionally mandated under Title III of
PL. 91-646 and C.G.S. § 48-17a, should be provided
to all persons displaced by a Federal Project.
Supreme Court Order - May 31, 2000, Ex. #10
Under FEDERAL QUESTION, Simmons ov.
Wetherall, #163875 as a tort claim is a “species of

CLAUSE.” Martinez v. California, 444 U.S. 277, 281-

Oil Co. v. Missouri, 224 U.S. 270, 323 S.Ct. 406, 56
L.Ed. 760 (1912); where the Connecticut Supreme
Court is a REVIEW court by statute of final judg-
ments and not a maker or proclaimer; where in direct
violation of Title III of PL. 91-646, the Fifth and
Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Consti-
tution and Art. 1 § 11 of the Connecticut Constitution
there is [NO PROCESS], the issuance and service of
process or notice is indispensable to the jurisdiction of
the court to determine the adverse claims of parties
to the litigation. Until notice is given to the defendant
of the action as proceedings against him, and he is
thereby given opportunity to appear and be heard,
the Court has no jurisdiction to proceed to judgment
against him — [or CLOSE THE DOORS] - even
though it may have jurisdiction of the subject matter.
One who is not served with process does not have the
status of a party to the proceeding, the parties and
17
their case must be brought before the Court and this
is accomplished by the use of process. 62 Am. Jur. 2d
Process § 3.
Where, it is not the return but the fact of actual
service that gives courts (including Connecticut
Supreme Court) jurisdiction. Wade v. Wade, 7 A.L.R.
1143 (1918); 21 R.C.L., page 1331, Sec. 79.
Conclusion
It is apparent and crystal clear that throughout
this decades-long litigation, the Petitioner/Owner/
Title Holder has been the victim of COLLUSION and
CONSPIRACY between the Federal and State Agen-
cies engaging in “LEASES” of the subject property
without - EVER — addressing fair compensation as
mandated by 49 C.F.R. § 24.102(d) against federal
projects or federally assisted projects. Each Bureauc-
racy pointing a finger at each other as being contrac-
tually or constitutionally mandated to determine fair
compensation. |
Where the multiplicity of every type of action
possible has been submitted to the United States
Supreme Court for relief where there is [NO CASE]
in any state or federal court regarding the subject
property since March 24, 1972; where there is no
Docket number, judgment or process in any court,
there cannot be any OUT-OF-TIME against a JU-
RISDICTION challenge as expressed in Harris v.
Hardeman, 55 U.S. 334 (1852).
18
Petitioner pleads under the rudiments of justice
for an opinion as stated in Joinz Anti-Fascist Refugee
Comm. v. McGrath, 71 S.Ct. at 652, expressing:
Notice and opportunity to be heard are fundamental
to due process of law. We would reverse these cases
out of hand if they were suits of a civil nature to
establish a claim against petitioners.

REASONS WHY WRIT SHOULD ISSUE
1. The Real Federal Question of grave public
importance, for which petitioner seeks a Writ of
Mandamus was the abdication of the judicial function
depriving the parties of a trial before the court on the
basic issues involved in the litigation with “the per-
sistent wholesale disregard of the Due Process Clause
* * * prescribed by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amend-
ments.”
2. The judgment of a court without jurisdiction
is a nullity. Such a judgment, whenever and wherever
declared upon as a source of right, may always be
challenged. This does not offend the full faith and
credit clause of the Federal Constitution, nor does it
19
violate the principles of comity. Samson v. Bergin, 138
Conn. 306 (1951).
3. Where Congress in the All Writs Act con-
ferred on the courts the review power, to be used only
in the exceptional case where there is clear abuse of
discretion or “usurpation of judicial power”; petitioner
alleges the usurpation of judicial power by the Con-
necticut Supreme Court (not Superior Court) is of the
sort held to justify the Writ of Mandamus in the case
of DeBeers Consolidated Mines v. United States, 325
U.S. 212, 217, 65 S.Ct. 1130, 1133, 89 L.Ed. 1566
(1945).
4. It is crystal clear that there - WAS NOT -
any proceedings instituted by the State Agency after
March 24, 1972 (date of reverting ownership) against
the subject property; there - WAS NOT —- IS NOT -
any docket number, pleadings, decrees, judgments on
Superior Court records that is substantiated by the
court invoking Shelton v. Wolthausen, 80 Conn. 599
(1908) (Exs. #7 and 7(a)), denying attorney fees to the
discharged and legally withdrawn private counsel
(Rogin-Hirtle) wherein, whereby, the court can only
dispose of money put into court through the medium
of proceedings had in or relating to that cause.
5. It is crystal clear that a quarter century ago
on June 7, 1982, the State (Attorney General’s Office)
in Superior Court, before Hon. DuPont, A., challenged
the court with lack of subject matter jurisdiction; it is
crystal clear that on that same court hearing, counsel
for two lien-holders (Valente-Allaire), private counsel
20
Bass, W., challenged the court with [NO] notice or
service on him or his clients; it is crystal clear that no
judgments can be rendered — without any service — or
— without the parties before the court, (see Jepsen v.
The Toni Co., 20 Conn. Supp. 287, 133 A.2d 150
(1957)); it is crystal clear Rule 70 of the Rules of Civil
Procedure, which permits the issue of a writ of at-
tachment or sequestration against the property of a
disobedient party to compel.satisfaction of a judg-
ment, is operative only after a judgment is entered; it
is crystal clear that where there was a Federal taking
for a Federal Project — as in case at bar, the Connecti-
cut Supreme (Reviewing) Court pursuant to C.G.S.
§ 13b-50, Sec. d must review for compliance with
Federal Rules of Procedure; it is crystal clear that
when the Supreme Court has no judicial power to do
what it purports to do — when its action is not mere
error but usurpation of power — the situation falls
precisely within the allowable use of the Mandamus
Writ.
6. Where the National Government is guardian
of a public right of access to navigable airspace of the
United States; the navigational servitude is the legal
formula by which we recognize the paramount nature
of this government responsibility that has exclusive
jurisdiction of certain navigational instrumentation
on the surface of private property of plaintiff, the
United States must be a necessary party to any such
judgment, or other procedure, and if the government
physically invades only an easement in property, it
21
must nonetheless pay compensation. United States v.
Causby, 328 U.S. 256, 265 (1946).
7. It is Hornbook Law that “any judgment
should conform to pleadings, issues and prayers for
relief” Kawasaki, Kissen, Kaisha, Ltd. v. Indomar,
Ltd., 173 Conn. 269, 377 A.2d 316 (1977); Brill v.
Ulrey, 159 Conn. 371, 269 A.2d 262 (1970); Morici v.
Jarvie, 137 Conn. 97, 75 A.2d 47 (1950): Shaw v.
Spelke, 110 Conn. 208, 147 A. 675 (1929); Steznmetz v.
Steinmetz, 125 Conn. 663, 7 A.2d 915 (1939). The
Connecticut Supreme Court had occasion t%, discuss
this principle in New Haven Sandblast Co. v. Dreis-
bach, 104 Conn. 322, 330, 133 A. 99 (1926). In that
case, the court stated: A defect in a judgment arising
from the fact that the matter decided was not em-
braced within the issue has not, it would seem, re-
ceived much judicial consideration. And yet, I cannot
doubt that, upon general principles, such a defect
must avoid judgment.
8. It is unmistakable from the plain language of
42 U.S.C. § 4655 that the [STATES] must comply with
the land acquisition procedures specified in § 4651
regardless of whether persons are displaced from their
homes — or — farms, as a result of the land acquisition.
It is undisputed that the acquisition of the subject
property by United States [IS] — [WAS] a necessary
incident to the construction of the navigational servi-
tude. The ruling by the Connecticut Supreme Court of
a “three dollar bill judgment” was ARBITRARY, UN-
REASONABLE, UNCONSTITUTIONAL, and in direct
violation of mandatory Federal Law whereby the
22
state [MUST] comply with § 4651 to the greatest
extent legally possible under State Law, notwith-
standing that such compliance may he “UNECO-
NOMICAL.” See City of Columbia, S.C. v. Costle, 710
F.2d 1009 (4th Cir. 1983)"
9. What the Constitution does require is an
opportunity * * * “granted at a meaningful time and
in a meaningful manner,” Armstrong v. Manzo, 380
U.S. 545, 552, 85 S.Ct. 1187, 1191, 14 L.Ed.2d 62
(1965), “For [A] hearing appropriate to the nature of
the case,” Mullane v. Central Hanover Bank & Trust
Co., 339 U.S. at 313, 70 S.Ct. at 657. In short, “within
the limits of practicability,” a state must afford to all
individuals a meaningful opportunity to be heard if it
is to fulfill the promise of the Due Process Clause, 70
S.Ct. at 659.
10. Where it is a well-established rule that the
court will not quash a writ of attachment execution or
foreign attachment unless some fundamental irregu-
larity appears on the face of the record, yet it is a
recognized exception to that rule that evidence dehors
the record may be a ground for quashing a writ where
defects therein are of such a character to put plaintiff
completely out of court. Pasquinelli v. Southern
Macaroni Mfg. Co., 272 Pa. 468, 116 A. 372 (1922).
The present case comes within the exception therein
indicated, viz, “that the property in question is, by
use, statute, and the federal regulation, exempt from
attachment.” The fact that the National Government
has not made any compensation — does not permit
subject property to attachment.
23
11. Where the courts have held that the absence
of a citation rendered the appeal fatally defective and
the statute governing appeals (§ 16-37) specifies that
the appeal shall be brought by a complaint in writing,
“with a proper citation, signed by competent author-
ity.” The citation thus required is a command to an,
officer to summon the defendant to appear in court to |
answer the complaint. The lack of a citation consti-
tutes more than a circumstantial defect. See Village
Creek Homeowners v. Public Utilities Comm., 148
Conn. 336 (1961).
12. Collusion between a party’s attorney and
the adverse party is a species of FRAUD for which
relief may be obtained. (Citations omitted).
13. For the above stated reasons, petitioner
respectfully requests that a writ of mandamus [or
“and in the alternative a writ of prohibition or writ of
mandamus”] issue out of this court directed to the
respondents requiring [them] to.

RELIEF SOUGHT
1. Where United States Government Contrac-
tor’s entry on plaintiff's land, effectively appropriated
lands in connection with and pursuant to congres-
sional authorization under 49 U.S.C. § 44502, were
authorized acts of government and constituted “tak-
ing” by the United States of plaintiff’s Real Estate
and Vested Rights; in addition to taking of easements
of the air space, analogous to United States v. Causby,
24
328 U.S. 256 (1946), giving rise to obligation to pay
owner fair rental value (compensation) from date of
taking where the government policy has continually
been to negotiate 20-year leases, in lieu of acquiring
the fee, [RELIEF] sought under the Fifth Amendment
is that negotiations [must] transpire with the owner
and not the trespasser.
2. The usual rule being that if the United
States (not the state) has entered into possession of
subject property, it is that event which gives rise to
the claim for compensation and fixes the date as of
which the land is to be valued and the government's
obligation to pay interest accrues; NOTWITH-
STANDING any pleas of 1955 Grant Agreements of
which the owner was never a party to; NOTWITH-
STANDING any pleas of LEASES between the co-
conspirator and trespasser, NOTWITHSTANDING
the fact there was [never] the establishment and
written offer of just compensation as mandated by 49
C.FR. § 24.102(d), [RELIEF] sought under the Tucker
Act (Docket 02-301 L) and DENIED, the common-law
writ of mandamus, as codified in 28 U.S.C. § 1361, is
intended to provide a remedy for a plaintiff only if he
has exhausted all other avenues of relief and only if
the defendant owes him a clear nondiscretionary
duty. See Kerr v. United States District Court, 426
U.S. 394, 402-403, 96 S.Ct. 2119, 2123-2124, 48
L.Ed.2d 725 (1976); United States ex rel. Girard Trust
Co. v. Helvering, 301 U.S. 540, 543-544, 57 S.Ct. 855,
857, 81 L.Ed. 1272 (1937).
25
RELIEF in case at bar by mandamus to VACATE
AND REMAND is pleaded where Federal and State
courts have a clear nondiscretionary duty under the
Due Process Clause, at a minimum, requires that
deprivation of life, liberty, or property by adjudication
be preceded by notice and opportunity for hearing
appropriate to the nature of the case. U.S.C.A. Const.
Amend. 14.
3. Relief in case at bar by mandamus to vacate —
REMAND - vacature of attachments is pleaded where
the government — in BAD FAITH — has continually,
deliberately relied on the egregious constitutional
misconduct of the agent to — not paying — a dime.
Citing Shoemaker v. United States, 13 S.Ct. 361, 375
(1893): “That the government is bound to make just
compensation for whatever it shall take from the
individual is undoubted; and in the words of the
Supreme Court in Great Falls Manufacturing Co. v.
Attorney General, 124 U.S. 596, 8 S.Ct. 631 (1888): ‘It
is to be assumed that the United States is incapable of
BAD FAITH, and that Congress will promptly make
the necessary appropriations whenever the amount of
compensation has been ascertained in the mode pre-
scribed.’” Citing Shoemaker, supra, at 383: “The court
has no discretion. It is the duty of the court to ascer-
tain the value of the land embraced in the recorded
map which is selected and condemned. If the court
should decline to discharge that duty, the commission
would be entitled to a MANDAMUS to compel it.”
Additionally at p. 383:
26
“It is a universal rule that this proceeding
shall in some form or other be subject to ju-
dicial supervision, so that the constitutional
rights of the citizen shall not be infringed;
that is, he shall have a hearing, and his
property shall be fairly estimated, and not
taken from him without adequate compensa-
tion being paid to him.”

SECOND MANDAMUS APPLICATION
1) NO HEARINGS - FINALITY - ORDER 5/31/00
In further demand for relief by the owner of a
MANDAMUS to REMAND ~— NOT for a “NEW
TRIAL” — but, for a “DAY IN COURT” where the
object, purpose, constitutional mandate of the Special
Act #170 (1969) that materialized into Simmons uv.
Wetherall, Docket 163875 (1970) tort action, was, an
additional mandate, reinforced by Title III (42 U.S.C.
§§ 4651-4655) mandating that fair and just compen-
sation in the form of DAMAGES, [SHALL] be ad-
dressed against two (2) null and void condemnations,
dirty tricks by the dozen such as erecting a snow
fence for ten (10) years across the frontage of Parcel
“A” that the court ruled was not necessary for airport
operations, pilfering of all building material from
private property and using the cinderblocks to ex-
pand the Murphy Terminal Building, and Attorney
Hirtle, R., of the Rogin-Hirtle Law Firm notifying the
owner by phone, before filing an appearance on
12/13/77 that: the Rogin Law Firm was “NOT GOING
TO TRY THE CASE”, and, when challenged by
owner’s replacement counsel (Robert King) on Janu-
ary 4, 1978 as to why damages were not going to be
addressed; the answer, as the record shows for NO
hearings, NO litigation on the merits, NO decisions,
NO eminent domain process initiated or instituted by
the State Agent (C.D.O.T.), who, per 42 U.S.C. § 4628
was acting as agent for a FEDERAL PROGRAM; the
absurd unconstitutional answer (defense) for not one
(1) dollar compensation, in gross violation of the 5th
App. 3
and 14th Amendments was: “He is an alcoholic, he
will not know the difference.”
Regards Finality and the Supreme Court Order
- of 5/31/00, Petitioner/Owner/Titleholder submits the
United States Supreme Court interpretation of Final-
ity that reads: “A ‘Final Decision’ generally is one
which ends the litigation on the merits and leaves
nothing for the court to do but execute the judgment”,
Catlin v. United States, 324 U.S. 229, 233, 65 S.Ct.
631, 633, 89 L.Ed. 911 (1945).
2) SUPREME COURT JURISPRUDENCE -
TITLE
Petitioner/Owner/Titleholder excerpts from Cava-
naugh v. Richichi, 100 Conn. App. 466 (2007). The
State Supreme Court jurisprudence regarding the
conveyance of Title beginning on page 468: “On
appeal, it is the function of this court to determine
whether the decision of the Trial Court is clearly
erroneous ... This involves a two part function:
where the legal conclusions of the Court are chal-
lenged, we must determine whether they are legally
and logically correct and whether they find support in
the facts set out in the memorandum of decision .. . “
(citation omitted.) Pandolphe’s Auto Parts, Inc. uv.
Manchester, 181 Conn. 217, 221-22, 435 A.2d 24
(1980). When reviewing the factual basis of a Trial
Court’s decision, our role “is to determine whether
[those] facts ... are supported by the evidence or
whether, in light of the evidence and the pleadings in
App. 4
the whole record, [they] are clearly erroneous ... On
appeal, [our] function ... is limited solely to the
determination of whether the decision of the Trial
Court is clearly erroneous ... A finding of fact is
clearly erroneous when there is no evidence in the
record to support it ... or when although there is
evidence to support it, the reviewing court on the
entire evidence is left with the definite and firm
conviction that a mistake has been committed ...
[W]e do not retry the facts or pass on the credibility of
witnesses.” (Citations omitted; internal quotation
marks omitted.) Wren v. MacPherson Interiors, Inc.,
69 Conn. App. 349, 353-54-794 A.2d 1043 (2002).
Our jurisprudence regarding the conveyance of
title is well established. The “[dJelivery of a deed
coupled with intent by the grantor to pass title is
necessary for a valid conveyance . . . The delivery of a
deed includes not only an act by which the grantor
parts with the possession of it, but also a concurring
intent on the part of the grantor that it shall vest the
title in the grantee ... Both elements involve ques-
tions of fact for the trier of fact.” (Internal quotation
marks omitted.) Young v. Young, 78 Conn. App. 394,
398 n5, 827 A.2d 722 (2003); see McCook v. Coutu, 31
Conn. App. 696, 701, 626 A.2d 1321, Cert. denied, 227
Conn. 911, 632 A.2d 692 (1993); see also Lomartira v.
Lomartira, 159 Conn. 558, 561, 271 A.2d 91 (1970).

3) IPSO-FACTO-VOID [CONDUCT-CLAIMS]
Wherein . . . The malicious, tortious, bad faith Rogin-
Hirtle, Esq’s. Law Finn, with no gun to their back or
club to their head - [AGREED, SIGNED] -— to take
over the contingency fee arrangement of Atty. David
Salzman of New Haven, CT, who exited from the
practice of law, after, successfully litigating a judg-
ment by Referee Shapiro, L. on Superior Court re-
cords on 1/17/77 under Docket #162923 that was
[torpedoed, shanghaied on 12/13/77], and the owner
had ‘anted’ up the contingency agreement to 38%
toward anticipated hearings of the tort action under
Docket #163875, and, with Title III of Federal Law
(42 U.S.C. §§ 4651-4655) MANDATING DAMAGES
(compensation) must (shall) be heard; MANDATORY
on every state in the union by the Uniform Act (P.L.
91-646 (1971) ... the FACT that Atty. Hirtle, R.,
[PHONE CALLED], before the ink was dry on the
contract agreement to inform the owner the Rogin-
Hirtle Law Firm ... [WAS NOT GOING TO TRY
THE CASE] ... However, the record shows an ap-
pearance was filed on 12/13/77 to wreak havoc, plun-
der, — in concert and collusion with the State Agent —
every active state and federal court case ... The
record shows a DISCHARGE (Ex. #4) on 12/23/77...
There is [NO RECORD] of the agent — C.D.O.T. —
initiating, instituting any eminent domain process, of
any nature, after 3/24/72 that would give the courts
(State, Federal or Connecticut Supreme Court) sub-
ject matter jurisdiction, jurisdiction of the parties, or
of the process... AND... this FACT was argued [by
App. 6
the STATE] before the Superior Court, Hon. DuPont,
A. presiding on 6/7/82 ... A quarter of a century ago
...” It is an acknowledged principle of ... every
court in the world, that not only the decisions, but
everything done under the judicial process of courts
not having jurisdiction are IPSO FACTO VOID.” 14

4) CITATION - PARTIES - PROCESS
With — [NO] — CITATION in evidence — or — on
the record that notice or service was made on all
necessary parties; with — [NO] - EMINENT DOMAIN
CONDEMNATION ... reinstituted ... a third time
upon the owner not entertaining a “ridiculous verbal
offer” or “tendering any deeds”; where the record
shows a discharge of the corrupt, malicious, tortious,
private counsel (Rogin-Hirtle, Esq.’s) on 12/23/77 (Ex.
#4); A second discharge on April 12, 1978; A legal
withdrawal on April 19, 1978 (Ex. #6), with — [NO] —
record of any proceedings under procedural statute
C.G.S. § 8-129 (Ex. #15); The Connecticut Supreme
Court could not, should not, have entertained, an
appeal with [NO CITATION], [NO PROCEEDINGS]
in evidence or on the record.
Applying the functions as detailed by the Court
in #2 of this SECOND MANDAMUS APPLICATION
... It was grossly UNCONSTITUTIONAL (where a
Federal Taking and Program is at issue) for the
App. 7
State’s highest court to [try] — or — declare — or —
claim a judgment (stipulated or supplemental),
where, on December 23, 1977, ten days after filing an
appearance as Owner/Titleholder’s Counsel, the
Rogin-Hirtle Law Firm was charged with a MISPRI-
SION OF A FELONY via a DISCHARGE. (Ex. #4).
Applying the functions as detailed by the Court
in #2, and, this very same court having ruled on the
very same subject matter in 160 Conn. 492 (1971)
that: “The prescribed method of taking must be
followed”, and, Where the U.S. Supreme Court in
Standard Oil v. Missouri, 224 U.S. 270, 32 S.Ct 406,
56 L.Ed. 760 (1912) made exceedingly clear the Court
[cannot] by “IPSE DIXIT” - [TRANSMOGRIFY] - a
private tort action into a public eminent domain
action ... RELIEF, pursuant to the mandate of the
5th and 14th Amendments of “Nor shall private
property be taken without just compensation”, man-
dates compliance with the MANDAMUS APPLICA-
TION of a REMAND and wiping the record clear of
the State Reviewing Court acting without jurisdiction
of the Subject Matter, the Parties, or the Process.
5) MISPRISION OF A FELONY - OBSTRUC-
TION OF JUSTICE - DESTROYING EVI-
DENCE
PLAINTIFF/OWNER having brought several
causes of action to both the State and Federal Courts
seeking basic relief of “LEGAL COMPENSATION”
where federal participation is apparent by a federal
App. 8
taking, a federal project of substantial public impor-
tance is at issue; federal funds had been appropriated
to the project in 1955, but, never paid or deposited
with the Court (See Ex. #11); The paltry $15,000.00
deposit by the State in concert with the two condem-
nation attempts was returned to the Treasury; all
condemned property reverted back to the owner on
3/24/72, putting it back on the TAX LIST ... The
basic issue [FEDERAL QUESTION] before the Court
(IS) (WAS) (REMAINS): DOES THE FEDERAL
REGULATIONS AND STATUTES PROMULGATED
PURSUANT TO THE UNIFORM ACT OF 1970, P.L.
91-646, 84 STAT 1894, BECOME EFFECTIVE IM-
MEDIATELY.
In the case of Simmons v. Wetherall, #163875
there is the obvious question as to (1) The constitu-
tionality of the state action — or [inaction], and (2)
whether the officials or parties involved have com-
plied with Federal Regulations and State Statutes,
and (3) where land that was not acquired legally by
failed condemnations, was attempted subversively by
destroying evidence and obstruction of justice that
was MISPRISION OF A FELONY by state officials,
acting in concert and collusion with plaintiff’s dis-
charged and legally withdrawn private counsel
(Rogin-Hirtle, Esq.’s); which sub-rosa, plundering
activity, was rejected by the Superior Court on August
30, 1979 (Ex. #7 & 7a) - BUT - given a stamp of ap-
proval (constitutionality) by the Connecticut Supreme
Court under Simmons v. Wetherall, #163875, 180
Conn. 587 (1980), a case that never had a hearing, no
App. 9
pleadings, no day in court, no written statements, no
notices or service to interested and necessary parties,
no ascertainments of “fair and just” compensation as
guaranteed by the 5th and 14th Amendments, AND,
49 C.FR. section 24.102 (L) of BASIC ACQUISITION
POLICIES (Ex. #3) regards Inverse Condemnation
reads: “If the agency intends to acquire any interest
in real property by exercise of the power of eminent
domain, it shall institute formal condemnation pro-
ceedings and not intentionally make it necessary for
the owner to institute legal proceedings to prove the
fact of the taking of the real property.”
6) OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE - DESTROY-
ING EVIDENCE
a) The Rogin-Hirtle Law Firm, having retracted
from “trying the case on its merits,” yet, filing an
appearance for the sole purpose of — plundering —
Docket #162923 that was an ejectment action against
the Federal Agency acting in bad faith by engaging in
leasing with the TRESPASSER (State Agency).
b) Wherein the judgment awarded rental for the
years of 1964-1969; plaintiff was to be reimbursed for
appraisal and engineering fees and the malicious,
tortious private counsel could not, constitutionally
and by the Practice Book, DEFEAT, DENY, MAKE
INEFFECTIVE, a valid judgment on court records
twelve months prior; obstructing justice in the most
basic sense of ... CONTINUING COMPENSATION
DEPRIVATION ... where FINALITY was determined
App. 10
on or about July 1, 1962 by the invasion, appropria-
tion, TAKING by the United States, without condem-
nation, BUT, cannot do so without payment of
compensation.
c) Wherein the discharged and legally with-
drawn private counsel, in tandem and collusion with

records.
d) Wherein the discharged and legally with-
drawn private counsel, in tandem and collusion with
the trespassing state (agent) who never instituted
any mesne process ... NEVER determined or ascer-
tained just or fair compensation as of date of taking

was a “1983” Civil Rights Action (472 F.2d 509 (1973))

#162923 was concluded, and Docket #162923 reported
favorably to the Superior Court . . . was also nullified
— in direct violation of the Fifth and Fourteenth

Court — applies — assigns — dignifies — decrees — such

TIVITY) -— A Judgment, A Stipulated Judgment, A
Supplemental Judgment to — shield — cover-up —
shelter the Federal Taking by the United States, and,
the continual [BAD FAITH] “LEASING” by the two
trespassing bureaucracies.
f) Without question, the evidence [RECORD]
must show a United States v. Simmons or State of
Connecticut v. Simmons for an effective, legitimate,
constitutional acquisition of the subject real property
with a federal installation thereon.
g) Condemnation is a means by which the
sovereign may find out what any piece of property
will cost. Danforth v. United States, 308 U.S. 271,
284, 60 S.Ct. 231, 236, 84 L.Ed. 240 (1939).
h) Wherein the Connecticut Supreme Court has
expressed the position of the United States Supreme
Court relative to a governmental regulation or action
that has deprived a claimant of his property without
just compensation was illuminated to justify their
review was [fact-dependent] in Gil v. Inland Wetlands
Agency, 219 Conn. 404 at page 406 (1991) that reads:
App. 12
As the United States Supreme Court has observed,
whether a claim that a particular governmental
regulation or action taken thereon has deprived a
claimant of his property without just compensation is
an “essentially ad hoc factual inquir[y].” Penn Central
Transportation Co. v. New York City, 4388 U.S. 104,
124, 98 S.Ct. 2646, 57 L.Ed.2d 631 (1977), reh. de-
nied, 439 U.S. 883, 99 S.Ct. 226, 58 L.Ed.2d 198
(1978); see also Keystone Bituminous Coal Assn. uv.
DeBenedictis, 480 U.S. 470, 473-74, 107 S.Ct. 1232,
94 L.Ed.2d 472 (1987); Pennsylvania Coal Co. v.
Mahon, 260 U.S. 395, 413, 43. S.Ct. 158, 67 L.Ed. 322
(1922).
{NO] FACTS are in evidence or on the record in
Simmons v. Wetherall, #163875 which is substanti-
ated by (Ex. #7 & 7a) dated 8/30/79, further substan-
tiated by the return of illegal funds to the Treasury
or 10/15/91 (Ex. #9); wherein it is an actual FACT
there was — NEVER - any determination, ascertain-
ment or hearings against the constitutional require-
ment of damages and just and fair compensation
dating back to 7/1/62, and, the novel explanation
(defense) on January 4, 1978 from plaintiff’s former
counsel (Rogin, E., Sr.) who was discharged on
12/23/77, and, when questioned by replacement
counsel (King, R., Esq.) as to why no hearings — the
reply: HE IS AN ALCOHOLIC, HE WILL NOT
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.
i. Where our U.S. Supreme Court has observed
and ruled that: ““The owner is protected by the rule
that title does not pass until compensation has been
App. 13
. ascertained ... and paid ...’” Albert Hanson
Lumber Co. v. United States, 261 U.S. 581, 587
(1923). The government — cannot — defer the deposit
of funds in court in order to compel an agreement on
the price of the property (See Ex. #13) — for forty-five
(45) years.
Federal Regulation 42 U.S.C. § 4651(7) that
clarifies the Fifth Amendment requirement states: In
no event shall the head of a Federal agency either
advance the time of condemnation, or defer negotia-
tions or condemnation and the deposit of funds in
court for the use of the owner, or take any other
action coercive in nature, in order to compel an
agreement on the price to be paid for the property.
7) 5th & 14th AMENDMENT COMPENSATION
Wherein ... The State Agent (C.D.O.T.) took
some [numbers] off the wall ... off the clock on the
wall to make a verbal offer ... without initiating or
instituting any process — in lieu of the mandatory
constitutional mandate of establishing of value — [as
of date of taking] — by the United States in the year of
1962 — by appraisals or LODESTAR ... BEFORE...
making an offer, and, INTEREST must be considered
where the United States has never offered or depos-
ited a DIME ... It is a crystal clear FACT the Con-
necticut Supreme Court sanctioning, putting its
stamp of approval on such felonious conduct makes
the reviewing court a — CO-CONSPIRATOR - of a
scheme or artifice to deny fair and just compensation.
App. 14

Wherein ... It is an UNDISPUTABLE FACT
Docket #163875 is a private tort action .. . It is [NOT]

there [was not] a single hearing, a day-in-court

UNDISPUTABLE FACT, acknowledged by the State
on 6/7/82 in Superior Court, that, [NO] state apprais-
als or ascertainments of fair and just compensation
were ever made as of Taking Day — or any other day
. It is an UNDISPUTABLE FACT that since

App. 22
MANDAMUS APPLICATION
Petitioner claims a right under the legislative
enacted Special Act (#163875); under the Fifth and
Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Consti-
tution; under Paramount Federal Law where the
initial “taking” was by the United States on or about
July 1, 1962 with the invasion, appropriation, occu-
pancy and use of the air space with electronic in-
strumentation installed on the surface of subject real
property — without notice or compensation * * * upon
reliance that the STATE would acquire the fee, and,
LEASE to the United States the necessary land
interests for its instrumentation.
Where it is [undisputable] that the owner never
entertained a “verbal offer” or tendered any deeds
and it is equally [undisputable] that the TRES-
PASSER’S [Never] initiated any condemnation pro-
ceedings, or other proceedings, of any nature after
March 24, 1972 that would give the courts subject
matter jurisdiction, IS-WAS-CONTINUES a clearly
unconstitutional exercise * * * MANDAMUS is re-
served for really extraordinary causes * * * as in case
at bar * * * directing the JUDGES of the State Su-
preme Court to REMAND to Superior Court for
constitutional compliance with the Due Process and
Compensation Clauses of the 5th and 14th Amend-
ments pursuant to a “Federal Taking”; Wipe the
unconstitutional Supreme Court decree (180 c 587
(1980)) off the record; Wipe the land records clear
where no proceedings were instituted; No hearings
ever had or permitted; No judgment file or record is
App. 23
in evidence with the Superior Court below; Where the
JUDGES of State Supreme Court acted as CO-
CONSPIRATOR(S) in sanctioning the nullification of
Referee Shapiro’s judgment (Ex. #16) under Docket :
#162923 pertaining to illegal and unlawful
[LEASES], filed with the Superior Court on January
17, 1977; Where the judge(s) of State Supreme Court
were pronouncing a decree — via — petitioner’s tort
action (#163875) against a “MYTHICAL” JUDG-
MENT, “hatched” months after withdrawal in the
private office of Rogin, E., Sr., Esq. with no parties
present; Attaching the name of Referee Shapiro, L.,
that was [FORGERY], as evidenced by (Ex. #8) dated
July 18, 1980; Enlisting the Superior Court Clerk,
Thomas Abraham, to certify that the documents are
on file in office of Superior Court when there was
[NEVER] any submissions as verified by Chief Clerk,
Lucian Jachamovitz, (Ex. #7 & 7a) — as further veri-
fied by (Ex. #9) of all funds returned to the Treasury
on December 23, 1991, based on Shelton v.
Wolthausen, 80 C. 599 (1908).
A. STATEMENT OF FACTS
1. The record shows two (2) condemnation
attempts by the State of Connecticut (C.D.O.T.)
pursuant to a 1955 Grant Agreement (Ex. #11), where
the government policy was (is) to not take the fee —
but — enter into long-term leases.
2. The Tort (Damages) Action (#163875) was
filed with the Superior Court on January 2, 1970 and
App. 24
with the Connecticut Supreme Court ruling that the
second condemnation was also null and void, and, so
recorded on the land records on March 24, 1972
without addressing substantial damages, forcing the
landowner who was [DISPLACED] ten years prior by
the United States, to again pay real property taxes
with the federal instrumentation thereon.
3. It is an [{undisputable] fact that after the
court reverted subject real properties to the Owner on
March 24, 1972 at Vol. 52, p. 242-3 of Town of East
Granby Land Records, the State Transportation
Department and the Federal Agency became TRES-
PASSER’S — AB INITIO as of March 25, 1972, have
been mutually trespassing for the past thirty-five (35)
years; did not have any right or authority to parcel
out acreage to Air National Guard in February 1991
and are continuing to be trespassers until such time
as mesne process (condemnation) is instituted.
4. It is an [undisputable] FACT that where the
“taking” was by the United States for a Federal
Project “the use to be made of the land taken is
necessarily a factor to be considered in the applica-
tion of the rule”; the Statutes and Regulations en-
acted pursuant to the UNIFORM Real Property
Acquisition Act (P.L. 91-646 (1971)) — apply immedi-
ately — imposing numerous constraints upon [both]
the State and Federal governments in order that such
displaced persons shall not suffer disproportionate
injuries as a result of programs designed for the
benefit of the public as a whole.

App. 25
B. FACTS —[LEASES]
5. It is a fact that any agency or government
body that shall form a combination (agreement-lease)
to avoid paying compensation shall be deemed guilty
of a[ CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD].
6. It is a FACT the United States (FA.A.) is a
person within the meaning of the Fifth Amendment of
the Constitution of the United States.
7. It is a FACT that * * * notwithstanding the
failed condemnation attempts that ... by reason of
the CO-CONSPIRATORS (State of Connecticut —
U.S.A.) ... grossly offending against the 5th and 14th
Amendments of the Constitution of United States and
willfully and flagrantly abused and misused govern-
ment power against the individual landowner with
continued [LEASING] ... in restraint of Compensa-
tion and Damages guaranteed by the 5th and 14th
Amendments.
8. It is a FACT the United States - NEVER —
made an attempt to lease from the owner — after
reverting of ownership in 1972 ... despite having
done so several times at airports throughout the
northeast region — including the Groton-New London
Airport in Connecticut.
9. It is a FACT that the failure *** of the
[blank] party plaintiff/defendant/trespasser (C.D.O.T.)
to effect service of a writ of summons ... on any
parties ... resulting in no party becoming a party to
trial court proceedings ... that never transpired;
ie ye ert aM ON re Ee a
App. 26
petitioner/plaintiff/owner, citing General Motors
Acceptance Corp. v. Pumphrey, 13 Conn. App. at 229
(1980) reads: Our Supreme Court long ago stated that
“The judgment of a court of even general jurisdiction
cannot affect a person who had no notice to appear, as
to him the proceedings are corum non judice,” Par-
sons v. Lyman, 32 Conn. 566, 577 (1863).
10. It is a FACT that defendant, (C.D.O.T.),
[cannot] transmogrify plaintiff’s/petitioner tort action
#163875 into an eminent domain action by hocus-
pocus circus style fashion. See Standard Oil v. Mis-
souri, 32 S.Ct. at 409 (1913).
11. It is a FACT that the defendant/trespasser
(C.D.O.T.) contends that plaintiff/defendant/landowner
(Simmons) consented to and conferred the right to
assert in personam jurisdiction — by agreement — on
January 4, 1978. The short answer to this claim is
that no such agreement appears from the record or as
an Exhibit. In addition, the Connecticut Supreme
Court decreeing in Simmons v. State, 160 Conn. 492
(1971), law of the case, that jurisdiction cannot be
conferred by consent, waiver, silence, or agreement.
In addition, “the parties and their case must be
brought before the court and this is accomplished by
the use of process.” 62 Am. Jur. 2d Process § 3.
12. It is not only a FACT — “It is, of course,
[essential] to the validity of any judgment that the
court rendering it should have had jurisdiction, not
only of the parties, but of the subject matter.” Chicago
B. & O.R. Co. v. Chicago, 166 U.S. 234, 247, 41 L.Ed.

13. It is a fact the State of Connecticut not
having instituted any proceedings after March 24,
1972; not initiating any mesne process for jurisdiction
of the res; No Notice, Service of Process — or — return
of service to the Superior Court for jurisdiction of the
parties; No hearings or a day-in-court on the merits;
Where Congress in the ALL WRITS ACT meant only
in the exceptional case where there is clear abuse of
discretion or “USURPATION OF POWER’ ... of the
sort held to justify the writ in DeBeers Consolidated
Mines v. United States, 1945, 325 U.S. 212, 217, 65

CASE.
D. FACTS —-[COMPENSATION]
14. It is a Constitutional FACT that the time of
the invasion is the event which gives rise to the claim
for compensation and fixes the rate as of which the
land is to be valued — irrespective of failed condemna-
tion attempts and reverting of ownership. United
States v. Dow, 357 U.S. 17, 22, 78 S.Ct. 1039, 1044, 22
L.Ed.2d 1109 (1958).
15. It is a Constitutional FACT that [INTER-
EST] at a proper rate “is a good measure by which to
ascertain the amount so to be added” when the full
equivalent of that value is not paid contemporane-
ously with the taking Seaboard Airline R. Co. v.
United States, 261 U.S. 299 (1923).

16. It is a Constitutional FACT that petitioner
is entitled to recover reasonable attorney, appraisal,
engineering fees, taxes, and costs, that were substan-
tially greater than the value of the land under the
mandatory Paramount Federal Law and C.G.S. § 48-
17a. Drakes Bay Land Co. v. United States, (Ct. Cl.
No. 275-66).
17. It is a Constitutional FACT that award of
[DAMAGES] begins at instant of intrusion; that the
Judicial Department must comply with the legislative
mandate (Special Act #170 (1969)); that Referee
Shapiro had dates scheduled for [HEARINGS] (Ex.
#14); that the nullifying of all hearing dates on first
day of appearance (December 13, 1977) by the Rogin-
Hirtle Law Firm — denying a Day-in-Court was the
most gross violation of the Due Process Clause of the
5th and 14th Amendments; that the sanctioning by
the Connecticut Supreme Court of such outlandish
COMPENSATION DEPRIVATION with its decree at
180 Conn. 587 (1980) must be reversed for attempting
to — dignify such gross constitutional violation — a
JUDGMENT.
18. It is a FACT that [NO CONSTITUTIONAL
OFFER] could be made, verbal or written, without
compliance with 49 C.F.R. § 24.102 (basic protections
Ex. #3), ascertaining, appraising values as of date of
taking - BEFORE NEGOTIATIONS.
19. It is a FACT, as the record shows, an ap-
pearance was filed by Rogin Law Firm on December
13, 1977, [NOT] to “try” or “conclude” the active cases
App. 29
in both State and Federal Courts - INSTEAD — in
collusion and conspiracy with the State Agency, a
180° turnaround to [DESTROY], [DEACTIVATE],
[NULLIFY], ALL scheduled hearing dates for dam-
ages under #163875 (Ex. #14); [DESTROY] the 2nd
Circuit Court of Appeals remand (472 F.2d 509);
[NULLIFY] the 30 day trial judgment under Docket
#162923 by the honest and reputable Referee
Shapiro, L. (who never submitted any decree, judg-
ment, ruling to the Superior Court under Docket
#163875); where the express purpose of such mali-
cious, tortious, subversive conduct was to [DENY] the
property owners a meaningful opportunity to be
heard; “that a hearing required by Due Process,
under the 5th and 14th Amendments does not affect
its root requirement that an individual be given an
opportunity for a hearing before h» is deprived of any
significant property interest.” Boddie v. Connecticut,
401 U.S. 371, 379; E.G. Bell v. Burston, 402 U.S. 535,
542: Wisconsin v. Constantineau, 400 U.S. 433, 437;

380 U.S. at 551; Mullane v. Central Hanover Tr. Co.,
339 U.S. 306 at 313.
E. FACTS - [ATTACHMENTS]
20. It is a FACT under Connecticut Practice,
compliance with C.G.S. § 52-57 is mandatory and the
failure to return the process to court within the time
limited renders the attachment proceedings fatally
defective. Jepsen v. Toni Co., 20 C.S. 287; Daley v.
Police Commissioners, 133 Conn. 716, 719; Hartley v.
App. 30
Vitiello, 113 Conn. 74, 79; Safford v. Morris Metal
Products, 99 Conn. 372, 376.
21. It is a Constitutional Fact that the Con-
necticut Supreme Court made exceedingly clear in
Simmons v. State 160 Conn. 492 (1971) that the
“Prescribed method of taking must be followed.” It
(State Supreme Court) also illuminated the fact in
Simmons v. State, supra, at 494n of the treatise of
Karp v. Urban Redevelopment Commission, 162 Conn.
525 at 527 cited: “The docketing of the statement of
compensation in the Clerk’s Office of the Superior
Court did not originate a civil action.” Where, the
rejected “verbal offer” (that was considerably less
than claimed), [COULD NOT — WAS NOT] docketed
with the Superior Court — [DID NOT] originate a civil
action — even if it was docketed — makes very clear
the fact that the Connecticut Supreme Court was
acting with no process originating by the State
Agency * * * for reasons that it would illuminate the
Unlawful, Illegal, Unconstitutional [LEASING] be-
tween the two (2) bureaucracies.
F. STATEMENT OF ISSUES AND RELIEF SOUGHT
Where the ISSUES necessary to be addressed is
more like a — laundry list — wherein the case at bar
can [NEVER] be resolved without the relief of A-DAY-
IN-COURT, and, the litigants (owner and necessary
parties) can never have their day-in-court when there
was [NEVER] any “action”, “mesne process”, “pro-
ceedings”, of any nature or form, by the State Agency
App. 31
(Connecticut Department of Transportation) originat-
ing, initiating, instituting any process after March 24,
1972 (date of reverting ownership).
I. Docket #163875, Simmons v. Wetherall
Citing Gaines v. New York, 215 N.Y. 533, 540, 109
N.E. 594 (1915) Judge Cardozo said: “The [saving]
statute is designed to insure.to the diligent suitor the
right to a hearing in court till he reaches a judgment
on the merits. Its broad and liberal purpose is not to
be frittered away by any narrow construction. The
important consideration is that by invoking judicial
aid, a litigant gives timely notice to his adversary of a
present purpose to maintain his rights before the
courts.”
II. LEASES
Without question, the most important issue in
this forty-five (45) year old extravaganza (1962-2007),
that is highlighted under section [B] of facts; wherein
the Rogin Law Firm initially agreed under a 38%
contingency contract to pursue what in 1977 had
been, at that time, fifteen (15) years of occupancy and
use — without compensation; the RELIEF sought,
prayed for, demanded that after forty-five (45) years
of FREE-LOADING the United States negotiate a
LEASE with the Owner/Title Holder - OR — DIRECT
ALL FLIGHTS TO RUNWAYS OTHER THAN 6-24
for ingress or egress.
App. 32
Without question, Congress intended the “UNI-
FORM ACT” [42 U.S.C. § 4601] applies equally to the
government agency as well as the state agency.
Petitioner/owner is not a member of Al Qaida or a
“nut” running around from eating too many peanuts,
but, making a straight forward demand under our
American Jurisprudence of PAY - OR YOU DON’T
FLY!!!
lil. COMPENSATION
Where petitioner/owner’s stand, claim, argument
for fair and just compensation, guaranteed by the 5th
and 14th Amendments is non-argumentative; in fact,
is mandatory, RELIEF by compliance with 49 C.F.R.
§ 24.102 (Ex. #3) is not only prayed for; it is de-
manded of both the Federal and State Agencies of
their respective obligations under the Constitution.
IV. DUE PROCESS — JURISDICTION
The ISSUE of JURISDICTION can be raised at
any time, regardless of form, was raised at page 10
and 11 of Appeal #9200 in 1979 to the Connecticut
Supreme Court — and disregarded.
Lack of subject matter jurisdiction and of the
parties by Connecticut Courts was argued by the
State (Atty. General’s Office) on June 7, 1982 before
Hon. DuPont, A.; the record shows the “scab verbal
offer” transferred back to the Treasury on December
23, 1991 making exceedingly clear the Connecticut
App. 33
Supreme Court — WAS NOT - upholding the rudi-
ments of fair justice.
V. [U.R.A.] 1971 Uniform Real Property Acquisition
Act
The ISSUE as to whether the Statutes and
Regulations promulgated pursuant to the above
congressional mandate apply to the case at bar with a
Federal Taking and Project is au unequivocal [YES] —
petitioner/owner is entitled to EQUAL PROTECTION
OF THE LAW - that RELIEF by a right to a HEAR-
ING in court till it reaches a judgment on the merits
(as expressed in numeral I) - CANNOT be FRIT-
TERED AWAY.
VI. INTENT TO DEFRAUD
This ISSUE was ominous from the opening bell
with the depiction under #19 of FACTS that were so
unconstitutional and repulsive that even a DIS-
CHARGE (Ex. #4) did not stop or curtail the mali-
cious, tortuous conduct and the only RELIEF, were he
(Rogin, E., Sr.) still alive, would have been a public
hanging -H-U-N-G-, not with dignity like Saddam
Hussein, but, Italian Style, by his collunes.
VII. ATTACHMENTS
The ISSUE regards attachments is: Did the
discharged, legally withdrawn private counsel (Rogin-
Hirtle, Esq’s.) (Ex. #4 & #6) have any right, authority,
App. 34
jurisdiction to — [RE-ENTER] the fray and in collu-
sion and conspiracy with the State Agency who never
originated any proceedings or process of any nature,
never enlisted a sheriff or indifferent person to serve
several lien-holders; made two (2) trips to Town Clerk
of East Granby, Connecticut. First, on June 2, 1978,
with the [FORGED] signature of Referee Shapiro and
again on June 5, 1978, two (2) separate document
dated June 2, 1978, one of which was labeled supple-
mental judgment claiming the parties appeared on
defendants’ motion for execution of judgment.
Petitioner’s demand for Relief is for DISSOLU-
TION of ATTACHMENTS per order of a Superior
Court Judge, which court has exclusive jurisdiction of
real property matters; has acted on August 30, 1979,
denying funds. Hon. Daly, J. (Ex. #7 & 7a); has acted
on disallowing funds on June 8, 1982, Hon. DuPont,
A.; has acted on returning funds to Treasury on
December 23, 1991, Hon. Aronson, J. (Ex. #9); has —
NOT — acted on recommending remand to Superior
Court on July 18, 1980, Referee Shapiro, L. (Ex. #8);
the owner has acted with a DISSOLUTION OF
ATTACHMENTS pursuant to C.G.S. § 52-327 on the
public land records and Superior Court Clerk’s Office
under Docket #163875 on December 1, 1996 (Ex. #2).
G. STATEMENT WHY WRIT SHOULD ISSUE
VIII. Where the [STATE] was in agreement with
petitioner/owner, a quarter century ago (June 7,
1982), that CONNECTICUT COURTS (including the
App. 35
inferior court of Rogin-Hirtle, Esq.’s — Shapiro, L.
(December 13, 1977)) lacked [JURISDICTION] of the
subject matter, the parties, and the process; the
frittering away of dates for hearings (Ex. #14) against
[DAMAGES] in direct violation of PARAMOUNT
FEDERAL LAW under 42 U.S.C. §§ 4653, 4654, 4655;
which exercise was anointed with a [JUDGMENT]
that is the farce of the century, and, is the rare and
exceptional case where [MANDAMUS] is appropriate
to remove the bureaucratic STATE SUPREME
COURT sanctioning of such unorthodox, unconstitu-
tional practices against a Federal Taking and Federal
Project; acting under Simmons v. Wetherall, #163875
(180 Conn. 587) that is plaintiff’s tort action and not
an action of the Connecticut Department of Transpor-
tation; where the Federal and State Courts have a
clear non-discretionary duty under the Due Process
Clause, AT A MINIMUM, requires that deprivation of
life, liberty or property by adjudication be preceded
by NOTICE and OPPORTUNITY for HEARING
appropriate to the nature of the case. U.S.C.A. Con-
stitutional Amendment 14.
IX. Citing SHOEMAKER V. UNITED STATES, 13
S.Ct. 361, 375 (1893) at 383 “THE COURT HAS NO
DISCRETION.” “It is the duty of the Court to ascer-
tain the value of the land embraced in the recorded
map which is selected and condemned. If the Court
should decline to discharge that duty, the Commis-
sion would be entitled to a MANDAMUS to compel
“™
App. 36
H. ORDER
Petitioner prays that this beloved State Supreme
Court of Connecticut, who, cannot issue any orders
directing any judge or judges of the Superior Court
below to file an answer to this petition for the obvious
reason there is [NO] proceedings, of any nature,
initiated by the State Agency; that the lower court
could or should act on — OR — answer to this petition;
where it is obvious there was no notice, service on
necessary parties or return to the Superior Court (See
#9 Facts); the Supreme Court of Connecticut must
invoke the Writ of Mandamus — [UPON ITSELF] -
within two (2) weeks, 14 days where by its unconsti-
tutional decree has denied just compensation that has
passed its 45th anniversary — to comply with its
centuries old citation of Parsons v. Lyman, 32 Conn.
566, 577 (1863) that “The judgment of a court of even
general jurisdiction cannot affect a person who had
no notice to appear, as to him the proceedings are
corum non judice.

1. Whereby the courts, including the Connecti-
cut Supreme Court are mandated by the 5th and 14th
Amendments to provide, allow, permit, process for the
assessment of damages and ascertainment of fair and
just compensation — where federal appropriation and
projects are at issue, AND, there is not, has not, been
any valuations (appraisals) hearings, notices, legal
seizures (mesne process) of any type, shape, or form
initiated by the state acquiring agency — since March
24, 1972, that would give the courts (Superior and
Supreme) Jurisdiction of the res, the parties, the proc-
ess, mandates a REMAND for a “Day in Court”,
2. Where the corrupt, discharged, legally with-
drawn Plaintiff’s contingency counsel — in collusion,
conspiracy, collaboration with the state acquiring
agency had intentionally, maliciously, tortiously —
flaunted, avoided, disregarded Federal Law, man-
dated on every state of the United States by the
Uniform Real Property Acquisition Act of Congress in
1970; wherein under 49 CFR 24.102(c) APPRAISALS
must be made [BEFORE] any negotiations, and no
ascertainment of just compensation can be made
without appraisal; wherein the state acquiring
agency never initiated any mesne process that would
get the necessary parties before the Court; wherein
Plaintiff’s counsel (Rogin-Hirtle, Esq.’s) contractually
agreed on a contingency basis to address DAMAGES
as part of the Just Compensation Mandate and on
January 4, 1978 when queried by Plaintiff’s re-
placement counsel, (Robert King, Esq.) as to why

damages were not being addressed, the response from
Edward Rogin, Sr. (Discharged on 12/23/77) was: “He
is an alcoholic, he will not know the difference.”
3. Wherein the attachments on the land records
contain covenants, highway acquisitions, restrictions
without a day in court to address value — their pro-
priety — or a return to court and the state acquiring
agency not initiating any mesne process, the [UNAU-
THORIZED PRIVATE COUNSEL] cannot transmog-
rify Plaintiffs tort action (#163875) into an eminent
domain action by superimposing the Connecticut
Department of Transportation as Plaintiff in the tort
action at Vol. 59, page 662 (Exhibit 2a); wherein all
the necessary parties to be served notice, CANNOT
be made parties to the private tort action.
4. Wherein the Connecticut Supreme Court
cannot, should not be rendering a decree under
Simmons v. Wetherall, sanctioning a violation of basic
applicable Federal Law where federal projects — grant
agreements are at issue, acting with no process, no
records, no docket number before the Superior Court
below, which Court invoked the citation of Shelton v.
Wolthausen, 80 Conn. 599 (1908) (Ex. 7a) of Appendix
to deny distribution of unconstitutional funds —
mandates a VACATURE of ATTACHMENTS and a
REMAND where the record is ultra clear the Owner
refused to participate in an unconstitutional verbal
_ compensation shakedown (Ex. #4); refused to tender
any deeds-title-rights to the Federal Agency (F.A.A.)
(Ex. #5), that forced the capitulation and legal with-
drawal of all counsel on 4/19/78 (Ex. #6).
App. 44
5. Wherein the state acquiring agency has
never initiated any mesne action since March 24,
1972 — TO REACQUIRE - satisfactory property
interest pursuant to the Federal/State Grant Agree-
ment of January 12, 1955 (Ex. #11), YET, has con-
tinually engaged in [LEASING] the subject real
property to the Federal Agency (Ex. #12), who CAN-
NOT, under the Fifth Amendment, — DEFER -— par-
ticipation in the costs of acquiring the land until after
it has been accomplished successfully (Ex. #13),
mandates a REMAND of who is going to pay fair and
just compensation — from date of taking with interest.
6. Wherein the Superior Court appointed Refe-
ree (Shapiro, L.) never submitted any report, decree,
judgment, opinion back to the Superior Court under
Docket #163875 in which he was the presiding jurist
anu his letter to Rogin-Hirtie, Esq.’s pinch-hitting
counsel of July 18, 1980 —- AFTER the Supreme Court
Decree of May 13, 1980 (Ex. #8) recommended RE-
MAND to the Superior Court regarding notices to
necessary parties and this issue cannot be resolved or
concluded without an opportunity to come before the
Court, the motion is respectfully requested to be
honored.

Dear Clerk,
The subject matter of this letter pertains to:
DISSOLUTION OF ATTACHMENTS PURSUANT
TO C.G:S. $ 52-327.
1. Plaintiff-owner-interested person Augustus J.
Simmons requests the following listed encumbrances
be endorsed on the record of such attachment with
the words “DISCHARGED BY OPERATION OF
LAW” pursuant to Connecticut General Statute § 52-
327.
2. The attachments on the public land records
under the caption of Augustus J. Simmons v Horace
B. Wetherall, CV-70-163875 by private counsel, with-
out any eminent domain proceedings in existence-or-
initiated for attachment purposes, without any notice
or service of process on interested parties, without
any return of service to the court of competent juris-
diction (Superior Court) prior to or after the attach-
ment, and, without appraisals to establish fair-
market value that are mandatory, including a trans-
fer of title under plaintiff’s private tort action,
Docket #163875 are:
App. 46

Vol. 59, p. 654-656
Vol. 59, p. 623-626
Map Book 17, page 853
Map Book 17, page 854
3. Included in Vol. 59, p. 657-668 is a citation at
page 661-662 of names of parties and institutions to
be served with notice with a return day of the first
Tuesday of July, 1978.
4. Vol. 59, p. 661-662 DOES NOT list Augustus
J. Simmons for notice and service, however, he is still
an “interested person,” — he just happens to be the
owner.
5. That there was NO officer’s service on any
par-ties, NO written return of his (officer’s) precept to
the court of competent jurisdiction (Superior Court)
and NO compensation paid is evident in a letter from
Atty. Tom Byrne, a copy being submitted as an exhibit
showing an encumbrance at Vol. 55, page 731 (1974)
of East Granby land records (also listed in the cita-
tion at Vol. 59, p. 661-2) that is still outstanding.
The listed attachments in item #2 were recorded
on June 2nd and 5th of 1978 which is a much longer
period than FIFTEEN YEARS from date of attach-
ment.
| 6. The interested person (owner) submits a
sworn testimonial from Atty. Walter Bass before Hon.
Dupont, A. on June 7, 1982 representing “Valente’s”
and “Allaire’s” with outstanding liens at Vol. 58, p. 95;
App. 47
Vol. 58, p. 221; 59/253; 59/263; 59/266 (trans. p. 26)
that states:
“Your Honor, in Mr. Feingold’s recitation that he
gave Your Honor this morning, | forget which para-
graph he referred to in Judge Shapiro’s decision,
there was to be a citation issued so that all people
would come forth and present their claims. I have a
right to inform the court that in the citation, my two
clients were listed under the care of my office. I will
state to the court that I have never been served any
citation nor has my clients even been served with any
kind of a citation to give us any notice to come in to
determine what our priorities are in this matter.”
The above citations of Valente and Allaire are
(also listed in the citation at Vol. 59, p. 661-2).
7. The caption Simmons v Wetherall, #163875, a
tort action AGAINST the state, a result of special Act
#170 of the 1969 legislature, CANNOT be TRANS-
MOGROFIED into an eminent domain action by
superimposing the Connecticut Department of Trans-
portation as plaintiff (Vol. 59, p. 662), by private
counsel, for land acquisition for federal navigational
instrumentation projects, per federal grant agree-
ment 9-06-009-5708 (1955), that must be acquired
pursuant to federal regulations, constituting a
fraudulent encumbrance.
8. Under the law of Connecticut, any lien cre-
ated by attachment continues for 60 days after judg-
ment and no longer. If no execution is taken out

before that time, the lien perishes. Sanford v Pond,
(1871) 37 Conn. 588.
9. Where it is unambiguously clear there was
no notice, no service, or, return to the court of compe-
tent jurisdiction, no judgment file or record of any
kind before the court of competent jurisdiction under
Docket #163875, and, the listed return day was the
first Tuesday of July, 1978 (Vol. 59, p. 661) and the
attachments were submitted on June 2nd and 5th of
1978, some of which contained a court stamp of the
Court Clerk (Thomas H. Abraham) of Superior Court
to give the appearance of authenticity to the public is
FRAUD upon the court, the public, and the “inter-
ested persons” named in the citation.
Court records show the succeeding Chief Clerk,
(Lucian Jachomovitz) informing Hon. Judge John
Daly in August, 1979 there were NO proceedings
before the Superior Court, consequently the Superior
Court was without jurisdiction to act, referencing the
citation of Shelton v Wolthausen, 80 c. 599.
10. Court records show a motion filed with
Judge Aronson by plaintiff-owner-interested person
(Simmons) that jurisdiction could not be created “sua
sponte” in December, 1991 relative to the notice from
the court to Atty. Tom Byrne, and others, and as a
result of said motion the “slush fund” monies being
held under the direction of the court were ABAN-
DONED.
11. Unquestionably, there is years, not months
or days beyond the statutory fifteen (15) years
App. 49
referenced and “DISCHARGED BY OPERATION OF
LAW?” is the purpose and request of this letter.

UNIFORM REAL PROPERTY BASIC
ACQUISITION POLICIES MANDATE
FOR FEDERAL PROJECTS
49 C.F.R. section 24.102 BASIC ACQUISITION
POLICIES
(a) Expeditions Acquisitions. The agency
shall make every reasonable effort to ac-
quire the real property expeditiously by
negotiation.
(b) Notice to owner. As soon as feasible, the
owner shall be notified of the agency’s
interest in acquiring the real property
and the BASIC PROTECTIONS, includ-
ing the agency’s obligation to secure an
appraisal, provided to the owner by law
and this part.
(c) Appraisal, Waiver Thereof and Invitation
to Owner. (1) Before the initiation of
(d)
(e)
App. 52
negotiations the real property to be ac-
quired shall be appraised, except as pro-
vided in section 24.102(c\2), and the
owner, of the owner’s designated repre-
sentative, shall be given an opportunity
to accompany the appraiser during the
appraiser's inspection of the property.
Establishment and Offer of Just Com-
pensation. Before the initiation of nego-
tiations, the agency shall establish an
amount, which it believed, is just com-
pensation for the real property. The
amount shall not be less than the ap-
proved appraisal of the fair market
value of the property, taking into ac-
count the value of allowable damages or
benefits to any remaining property.
Promptly there-after, the agency shall
make a written offer to the owner to ac-
quire the property for the full amount
believed to be just compensation.
Summary Statement. Along with the ini-
tial written purchase offer, the owner
shall be given a written statement of the
basis for the offer of just compensation,
which shall include: (1) A statement of
the amount offered as just compensa-
tion.
In case of a partial acquisition, the com-
pensation for the real property to be
acquired and the compensation for dam-
ages, if any, to the remaining real prop-
erty shall be separately stated. (2) A
description and location identification of
(f)
(g)
App. 53
the real property and the interest in the
real property to be acquired. (3) An iden-
tification of the buildings, structures,
and other improvements which are to be
considered to be part of the real property
for which the offer of just compensation
is made.
Basic Negotiation Procedures. The
agency shall make reasonable efforts to
contact the owner or the owner’s repre-
sentative and discuss its offer to pur-
chase the property, including the basis
for the offer of just compensation; and,
explain its acquisition policies and pro-
cedures, including its payments of inci-
dental expenses in accordance with 49
C.F.R. section 24.106. The owner shall be
given reasonable opportunity to consider
the offer and present material which the
owner believes is relevant to determin-
ing the value of the property and to sug-
gest modification in the proposed terms
and conditions of the purchase. The
agency shall consider the owner’s pres-
entation.
Updating Offer of Just Compensation. If
the information presented by the owner,
or a material change in the character or
condition of the property indicates the
need for new appraisal information, or
if a significant delay has occurred since
the time of the appraisal(s) of the prop-
erty, the agency shall have the ap-
praisal(s) updated or obtain a new
(h)
App. 54
appraisal. If the latest appraisal infor-
mation indicates that a change in the
purchase offer is warranted, the agency
shall prompily reestablish just compen-
sation and offer that amount to the
owner in writing.
Coercive Action. The agency shall not
advance the time of condemnation or de-
fer negotiations or condemnation or the
deposit of funds with the court, or take
any other coercive action in order to in-
duce an agreement on the price to be
paid for the property.
(i) Administrative Settlement. The purchase
price for the property may exceed the
amount offered as just compensation
when reasonable efforts to negotiate an
agreement at that amount have failed
and an authorized agency official ap-
proves such administrative settlement
as being reasonable, prudent, and in the
public interest.
G) Payment Before Taking Possession. Be-
fore requiring the owner to surrender
possession of the real property the
agency shall pay the agreed purchase
price to the owner, or in the case of a
condemnation, deposit with the court,
for the benefit of the owner, an amount
not less than the agency’s approved ap-
praisal of the fair market value of such
property, or the court award of compen-
sation in the condemnation proceeding
(k)
App. 55
for the property. In exceptional circum-
stances, with the prior approval of the
owner, the agency may obtain a right-of-
entry for construction purposes before
making payment available to an owner.
Uneconomic Remnant. If the acquisition
of only a portion of a property would
leave the owner with an uneconomic
remnant, the agency shall offer to ac-
quire the uneconomic remnant along
with the portion of the property needed
for the project.
(1) Inverse Condemnation. If the agency in-
tends to acquire any interest in real
property by exercise of the power of emi-
nent domain, it shall institute formal
condemnation proceedings and not inten-
tionally make it necessary for the owner
to institute legal proceedings to prove the
fact of the taking of the real property.
(m) Fair Rental. If the agency permits a
former owner or tenant to occupy the
real property after acquisition for a short
term or a period subject to termination
by the agency on short notice, the rent
shall not exceed the fair market rent for
such occupancy.

Dear Mr. Rogin,
I am a totally dissatisfied individual with the
“GOOD DEAL” that your Firm has arranged with the
Dept. of Trans. concerning my property at Bradley
Field.
Because everyone is now in an awkward position
upon your firm’s insistence of accepting a proposal
without the benefit of a Market Research Study by the
John Rawlson Firm, I am asking the Rogin Firm to
withdraw immediately so I can obtain other Counsel.
On my visit to your office on Thurs. Dec. 22nd, I
told you I wanted to protect my rights against your
recommendations.
I also compiled some data wherein I showed you
and again outline a breakdown of Parcel “C”.
Asking me to yield all of Parcel “A” and all dam-
ages for absolutely nothing is not representing my
best interests.
Will appreciate an immediate withdrawal.

MR. HIRTLE: Mr. Simmons, as I under-
stand it you don’t want to proceed further with the
closing, is that correct?
MR. SIMMONS: Bob Hirtle, I have the
highest respect for you just like I sent you the letter, I
have the highest and utmost respect for Referee
App. 58
Shapiro and I further qualified it by saying that I am
not going to be a party to any deal which is going to
be coming out and being made public whereby the
Rogin firm and my good friends here, Dave Salzman
and Steve, who I have been very prone to pick on. It
is just not fair to everybody to have this kind of an
arrangement and I am not going to be a party to it.
What the State is attempting to do here is to say okay
let’s date this thing back so their skirts are clean.
They want me to go back and do battle with the Town
over the taxes and I say bullshit to that. We are going
to clear that matter up before there will by any
Goddamned closing. We are going to get that cleared
up and they are going to be open and above board. I
don’t care if it is Referee Shapiro. Hell, it is everybody
and I’m telling you, everyone at the table, everything
is going to be above board and no dealing is going
back to November of ’64.
MR. HIRTLE: You will not sign a deed
today to consummate the closing, is that what I
understand?
MR. SIMMONS: Because the agreement
states and [9] I have to say if any portion of it is a
nullity then it is a nullity and I am not going to be a
party to anything that is a nullity.
MR. NEUSNER: Is that a definite negative
answer?
MR. HIRTLE: You are instructing counsel
not to proceed with the closing because you consider
it to be a nullity?
App. 59
MR. SIMMONS: I am going to answer you
Bob by saying that I sent you a certified letter ex-
pressing my position and when I talked to you on the
phone, I said to myself, at least I am going to give
them the courtesy of putting in an appearance today.
I think that is a sufficient answer.
MR. HIRTLE: So I am not to proceed to
closing and you will not sign the deeds today?
MR. SIMMONS: That is correct.
MR. HIRTLE: And the meeting is ad-
journed.
(Whereupon at 11:44 o'clock a.m. the closing was
adjourned).

Dear Judge:
First of all, welcome back from vacation.
While you were away on August 13 I received a
telephone call from one of the assistant clerks advis-
ing me that if I wished to reargue my Motion For
Turnover dated July 25, 1979, I would have to claim
it for the Short Calendar. I was rather taken back by
this announcement inasmuch as my file indicates
that you granted the motion in open court on July 27,
1979. I recall you speaking to me briefly subsequent
to that time indicating that you were going to meet
with Mr. Abraham with respect to the order, but you
did not indicate to me that you had vacated your prior
decision. I would assume that for me to be put into
the position of having to “reargue” your prior decision
would have to be revoked. Until that happens, . really
do not know what there is for me to argue.
I would be most appreciative of your guidance in
this matter.
Yours very truly,
/s/ Jason E. Pearl, Esq.

Augustus J. Simmons v. Horace B. Wetherell, et al
Dear Mr. Pearl:
This will acknowledge receipt of your Motion For
Disbursement of Funds by Clerk dated July 16, 1980
and received by me this morning.
ay
on
App. 64
Since your phone call to me, I am not certain as to
what steps should be taken in order to make dis-
bursement as requested by you. Since the amount
attached by Atty. Salzman et als was accomplished by
bringing suit, it would seem to me that before distri-
bution could be made, that this claim be reduced to a
judgment. If there is a more expeditious way to
proceed, I would appreciate hearing from you as soon
as possible.
I'm also concerned about the order of distribution
since the land records, according to your memoran-
dum attached to your letter, show a list of encum-
brances prior to the date of the Salzman attachment.
Also, in view of the many complications which I
anticipate, would it not be better to have this issue
handled by the Superior Court? I am not equipped, as
a referee to give notice to the various creditors which
I believe may be necessary. It would seem that your
motion could be handled properly by the Superior
Court.
Very truly yours,

sors, and assigns, hereinafter called the lessor, and

Government:
WITNESSETH: The parties hereto for the consid-
eration hereinafter mentioned covenant and agree as
follows:
1. For the term beginning June 1, 1974 and
ending June 30, 1974, the lessor hereby leases to the
App. 75
Government the following described property, herein-
after called the premises, viz:
As contained in Exhibit I attached
hereto and made a part hereof.
a. Together with a right-of-way for ingress to
and egress from the premises; a right-of-way or
rights-of-way for establishing and maintaining a pole
line or pole lines for extending electric power, and
telecommunications facilities to the premises; and
right-of-way for subsurface power, communication
and water liens to the premises; all rights-of-way to
be over the said lands and adjoining lands of the
lessor, and unless herein described by metes and
bounds, to be by routes reasonably determined to be
the most convenient to the Government.
b. And the right of grading, conditioning, and
installing drainage facilities, and seeding the soil of
the premises, and the removal of all obstructions
from the premises which may constitute a hindrance
to the establishment and maintenance of air naviga-
tion and telecommunications facilities.
ce. And the right to make alterations, attach
fixtures, and erect additions, structures, or signs, in
or upon the premises hereby leased, which fixtures,
additions, or structures so placed in or upon, or
attached to the said premises shall be and remain the
property of the Government, and may be removed
upon the effective date of termination of this lease, or
within 90 days thereafter, by or on behalf of the
App. 76
Government, or its grantees, or purchasers of said
fixtures, additions, structures, or signs.
2. This lease may, at the option of the Govern-
ment, be renewed from year to year and otherwise
upon the terms and conditions herein specified. The
government's option shall be deemed exercised and
the lease renewed each year for 1 year unless the
Government gives the lessor 30 days written notice
that it will not exercise its option before this lease or
any renewal thereof expires; PROVIDED, that no
renewal thereof shall extend the period of occupancy
of the premises beyond the 30th day of June 1994;
4. The Government may terminate this lease, in
whole or in part, at any time by giving ninety days
notice in writing to the lessor, and no rental shall
accrue after the effective date of termination. Said
notice shall be computed commencing with the day
after the date of mailing.
5. No Member of Congress or Resident Commis-
sioner shall be admitted to any share or part of this
lease, or to any benefit to arise therefrom. Nothing,
however, herein contained, shall be construed to
extend to any incorporated company if the lease be for
the general benefit of such corporation or company.
6. The lessor warrants that no person or sell-
ing agency has been employed or retained to solicit
or secure this lease upon an agreement or under-
standing for a commission, brokerage, percentage or
contingent fee, except bona fide employees or bona
fide established commercial or selling agencies
App. 77

business. For breach or violation of this warrant, the
Government shall have the right to annul this lease
without liability, or in its discretion to deduct from
the contract price or consideration, the full amount of
such commissions, brokerage, percentage, or contin-
gent fee.
7. The Government shall surrender possession
of the premises upon the expiration or the effective
date of termination of this lease. If the lessor, by
written notice at least thirty days before the expira-
tion or the effective date of termination requests
restoration of the premises, the Government at its
option shall within ninety (90) days thereafter, or
within such additional time as may be mutually
agreed upon, either* (1) restore the premises to as
good condition as that existing at the time of the
Government’s entering upon the premises under this
lease (changes to the premises in accordance with
paragraph 1 above, ordinary wear and tear, damage
by natural elements and by circumstances over which
the Government has no control, excepted) or (2) make
an equitable adjustment in the lease amount for the
cost of such restoration of the premises or the diminu-
tion of the value of the premises if unrestored, which-
ever is less. Should a mutually acceptable settlement
be made hereunder, the parties shall enter into a
supplemental agreement hereto effecting such
* Subparagraphs a and b only
App. 78
agreement. Failure to agree to any such equitable
adjustment shall be a dispute concerning a question
of fact within the meaning of Clause 8 of this lease.
8. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this
contract, any dispute concerning a question of fact
arising under this contract which is not disposed of by
agreement shall be decided by the Contracting Offi-
cer, who shall reduce his decision to writing and mail
or otherwise furnish a copy thereof to the lessor. The
decision of the Contracting Officer shall be final and
conclusive unless within 30 days from the date of
receipt of such copy, the lessor mails or otherwise
furnishes to the Contracting Officer a written appeal
addressed to the Secretary, Department of Transpor-
tation. The decision of the Secretary or his duly
authorized representative for the determination of
such appeals shall be final and conclusive unless
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to
have been fraudulent, or capricious, or arbitrary, or
so grossly erroneous as necessarily to imply bad faith,
or not supported by substantial evidence. In connec-
tion with any appeal proceeding under this clause,
the lessor shall be afforded an opportunity to be
heard and to offer evidence in support of its appeal.
Pending final decision of a dispute hereunder, the
lessor shall proceed diligently with the performance
of the contract and in accordance with the Contract-
ing Officer’s decision.

consideration of law questions in connection with
decisions provided for in paragraph (a) above:
