PRO SE FOR DEFENDANT/APPELLANT,
WILLIAM M. WINDSOR
William M. Windsor (“Windsor”) hereby submits
this MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION OF ORDER
DATED APRIL 26, 2010 AND REQUEST TO ALLOW
MOTION FOR REHEARING EN BANC TO BE
CONSIDERED to this Court for consideration for filing
Windsor shows the Court as follows:
1. The Order dated April 26, 2010
(“ORDER”) is EXTREMELY UNFAIR from this panel of
the Eleventh Circuit. [ORDER is Exhibit 1.]
2. The Clerk of the Court accepted and filed
Windsor’s April 6, 2010 “Reasonable Response” to the
Panel's request for Windsor to respond to Plaintiffs’
request for attorneys’ fees. Now this Panel wants to
deny that it was filed. This is unfair and surely improper
3, The Panel's excuse is that the “Reasonable
Resporise” exceeds the 20 page limit of Fed.R.App.P.
27(d)(2). {Exhibit 2.] But Windsor’s “Reasonable
Response” is not a response to a motion as dictated by
Fed.R.App.P. 27(d)(2). The docket in this Appeal will
show that Windsor previously filed a response to the
motion that met the requirements of Fed.R.App.P.
27(d)(2). The “Reasonable Response” was a response
requested by this Panel in regard to an award of
sanctions pursuant to FRAP Rule 38. It wasn’t a motion
at all. FRAP Rule 38 places no page limits on a
/
“Reasonable Response.” It simply provides that after
notice from the court, a “reasonable opportunity to
respond” will be provided. This is what Windsor
provided — a response to an outrageous sanction. [See
Exhibit 3.] This Panel also refers to 11" Cir. R. 27-4, but
it similarly provides “a reasonable opportunity to
respond,” and it places no page limits on the
“Reasonable Response.” Windsor carefully checked the
FRAP and 11" Cir. Rules before filing this “Reasonable
Response.” Exhibit 4 shows that there are no rules
relative to Answers. Exhibit 5 shows thai there are no
rules relative to Responses to an answer on
documentation on a request for attorneys’ fees. A search
for “local rule 27” in versuslaw.com returns only two
cases, and neither case refers to 27-4. [Exhibit 6.] Asa
result, it is totally improper for this Panel to reject
Windsor’s “Reasonable Response.” This Panel has
violated FRAP 38 and 11" Cir. R. 27-4 by denying
Windsor a “Reasonable Response.”
4. On March 8, 2010, Windsor filed a
Motion for a Hearing on the FRAP Rule 38 sanctions.
This 17-page Motion is the proscribed length. The
Motion cited over 100 cases in support. On April 5,
2010, Windsor filed a Reply to Appellees’ Response in
Opposition to Windsor’s Motion for Hearing on the issue
of FRAP Rule 38 sanctions. This 10-page Reply is the
proscribed length. This Reply again cited the key
Eleventh Circuit case that says Windsor is entitled to an
evidentiary hearing. This Panel could have ruled on this
motion that pre-dated the “Reasonable Response,” rather
than denying it because a subsequent motion was
viewed as too long. The hearing would provide the
ability for Windsor to provide a “reasonable response.
”
10
5. This Panel wants to award sanctions
against Windsor, but this Court has not made an inquiry
to determine if Windsor has the money to pay. Windsor
cannot afford to pay sanctions. Windsor has submitted
financial information to this Court under seal for in
camera inspection. Windsor prays that the financial
information will be returned based upon this ORDER.
6. This ORDER denies Windsor the ability to
file a Notice of Appeal to the Supreme Court, and it
denies him the ability to seek a stay while that appeal is
pending. Windsor cannot afford to pay these sanctions,
and relief is desperately needed.
7. On March 29, 2010, Windsor submitted a
Petition for Rehearing En Banc. Windsor’s file copy is
Exhibit 7 hereto. Windsor respectfully requests that this
Petition be distributed. The decision of this Panel has to
be completely and totally erroneous, and there are
significant issues involved.
WHEREFORE, Windsor prays that this Court grant
said motion and that this Court do as follows:
(1) grant this motion;
(2) issue an order allowing Windsor’s financial
documents to be filed under seal for an in
camera inspection;
(3) grant Windsor’s Motion for Hearing filed on
March 8, 2010;
(4) schedule an evidentiary hearing;
(5) consider Windsor’s “Reasonable Response”
as it was filed, or allow Windsor to file a
shorter “Reasonable Response,” if necessary;
11
(6) process the Petition for Reheat np kn
it may be considered by the Eleventh |
and
') grant such other relief as the Court
appropriate

document filed by Appel mt are )| )
Appellant’s response to Appellees Maid of the
Mist, et al. (“Maid”)’s motion for Fleventh Circuit Rule
27-4 sanctions far exceeds the twenty (20) page limit of
Fed. R.App.P. 27(d)(2). Therefore, we STRIKE Appellant's
response and direct the Clerk to return that document
unfiled
Maid’s motion for Eleventh Circuit Rule 27-4
sanctions for Appellant's filing of frivolous motions is
DENILD tn light of the Rule 38 sanctions that we award
below. However, we note that this Order does not
preclude the grant of another Rule 27-4 motion filed in
any of Appellant's other appeal or petitions pending with
this Court
In Compliance with the direction tn our February
25, 2010, Order dismissing the appeal as frivolous and
granting Rule 38 sanctions to Maid, Maid has filed a
statement of its Costs and expenses (including attorneys’
fees). Maid seeks an award of Rule 38 sanctions in an
amount of $37,401.17
We have reviewed the declaration of maid's
counsel, the records attached thereto, and Appellant's
overlong response, which fails to meaningfully
challenge the amounts sought by Maid
We note that the first of Maid’s billing entries is
for work performed before the notice of appeal for this
case was filed in the District Court. Consequently, we
discount that entry for $67.50 in our determination of
the amount to be awarded.

PRO SE FOR DEFENDANT/APPELLANT,
WILLIAM M. WINDSOR
William M. Windsor (“Windsor”) opposes the Plaintiffs’
Application for “Costs and Expenses” filed on March 10,
2010 in the form of “Declaration of Carl H. Anderson,
Ir., (“Mr. Anderson”) Counsel for Appellees,” for the
reasons expressed herein and in documents referenced.
(pages deleted)
ARGUMENTS AND
UTHORITY
This Court’s Order provides no rational
explanation, inexplicably departs from established law,
is devoid of any reasoning, and doesn’t even contain
objectionable summary or conclusory statements — it
contains no statements. (See Avalos v. U.S. Att'y Gen.
2006 WL 2567603 (11th Cir. Sept. 7, 2006).)
Windsor opposes the Application of Appellees for
“Costs and Expenses” for a significant number of
reasons. FRAP Rule 38 provides a “reasonable
opportunity to respond” and says the court may award
“just damages.” An award of ANY damages in this
matter would not be just.
Windsor finds no page limits mentioned on an
FRAP 38 “reasonable opportunity to respond, so this
Opposiiton will go significantly over the pages due for a
normal response to a motion. If Windsor needs to move
for approval to exceed the page count, he so moves.
Windsor demands an evidentiary hearing.

PRO SE FOR DEFENDANT/APPELLANT,

WILLIAM M. WINDSOR
1. This is a Motion to Vacate Order of this
Court dated February 25, 2010 dismissing Windsor’s
Appeal and granting sanctions pursuant to FRAP 38
(“ORDER” — Exhibit A hereto) and a Motion for
Reconsideration (“MTVMEFR”). The Appeal (“Appeal”) is
from the orders of the United States District Court,
Northern District of Georgia, Civil Action Number1:09-
CV-01543-WSD entered June 30, 2009 and September
2, 2009 (“Appealed Orders” — Exhibit B hereto).
Ps This Court’s decision provides no rational
explanation, inexplicably departs from established law,
is devoid of any reasoning, and doesn’t even contain
objectionable summary or conclusory statements — it
contains no statements. (See Ava/os v. U.S. Att'y Gen.,
2006 WL 2567603 (11th Cir. Sept. 7, 2006).)
3. This MTVMER contains new evidence,
presents an intervening expression of law, explains clear
errors in this Court's previous ruling to warrant vacating,
and presents law pertaining to “frivolous” appeals. (Ray
v. Equifax Information Services, LLC, No. 08-10879
(11th Cir. 04/13/2009).)
A. THIS ORDER VIOLATES THE LAW OF THE
ELEVENTH CIRCUIT REGARDING BOTH SANCTIONS
AND DEPOSITIONS Of JUDGES.
4. Windsor is pro se, and sanctions are
inappropriate. The District Court never indicated that
Windsor’s claims were meritless. In neither of the
Appealed Orders did Judge Duffey warn Windsor about
anything. None of the Appellees indicated that
Windsor’s claims were meritless or even requested
22
sanctions in the District Court. (See Exhibit B.) This is a
clear error of law. The Eleventh Circuit says:
“Generally, sanctions under Fed. R. App. P. 38
and § 1912 are inappropriate against a pro se
appellant even if the appeal is frivolous. Woods
v. IRS, 3 F.3d 403, 404 (11th Cir. 1993) (per
curiam). Nevertheless, we have imposed
sanctions on pro se litigants who were warned by
the district judge that their claims relating to
various tax issues were meritless. United States v.
Morse, 532 F.3d 1130, 1132-33 (11th Cir. 2008)
(ner curiam); King v. United States, 789 F.2d 883,
884 (11th Cir. 1986) (per curiam). While
Pollinger's claims are frivolous in nature, after
reviewing the record in full, and considering that
Pollinger is a pro se appellant, we deny the
government's motion for sanctions.” (Pollinger v.
Internal Revenue Service Oversight Board, No.
09-12295 (11th Cir. 01/15/2010). lemphasis
added |
We have imposed Rule 38 sanctions on a pro se
taxpayer after the Tax Court had apprised the
taxpayer of the potential consequences of
maintaining an appeal based on arguments
previously rejected by the court. (Biermann v.
Comm'r, 769 F.2d 707, 708 (11th Cir. 1985).)
(Perkins v. Commissioner of IRS, No. 07-12689
(11th Cir. 01/09/2008).)
5. [here are many examples of federal district
judges giving testimony in the territory of the Eleventh
Circuit:
23
“...the courts apparently have had little difficulty
in calling federal district judges to the witness
stand. For example, in United States v.
Jenison,485 F. Supp. at 665, eight United States
District Judges from the Southern District o1
Florida testified... And in United States v.
Holman, 510 F. Supp. at 1180, a federal district
judge testified ... in the Northern District of
Florida. See also United States v. Cabrera-
Sarmiento, 533 F. Supp. at 805 n. 2; United States
v. Breland, 522 F. Supp. 468, 471-74
(N.D.Ga.1981) (testimony of nine federal district
judges).
“Further, the practice of calling federal judges to
testify in these cases has been discussed, and
approved sub silentio, on two occasions in the
Eleventh Circuit. See United States v. Holman,
680 F.2d at 1357; United States v. Perez-
Hernandez, 672 F.2d at 1387-88 (defendant
adopted record in the Jenison case for purposes of
his dismissal motion).” (United States v. Cross,
708 F.2d 631 (11th Cir. 06/30/1983).)
6. The justification cited by the Appellees
and Judge Duffey to quash the subpoena for deposition
was “mental processes.” But Windsor made it absolutely
clear that he would not seek testimony about the judge’s
mental processes. [Appeal Brief P 34, 41, 53, 54, 56-60.]
Windsor even agreed to let Judge Duffey approve the
deposition questions in advance. {Appeal Brief P 41, 53,
54.] (See generally Shelton v. American Motors Corp.,
805 F.2d 1323 (8th Cir. 1986).)
24
+e Research done by Windsor indicated that
judges are clearly subject to depositions.
(See Peek v. Kemp, 746 F.2d 672 (11th Cir.
10/26/1984); Proffitt v. Wainwright, 685 F.2d
1227 (11th Cir. 09/10/1982); Wynn v. Smith, 446
F.2d 341 (5th Cir. 07/12/1971); Young v. Barrett,
912 F.2d 466 (6th Cir. 08/27/1990); Doherty V.
American Motors Corp., 728 F.2d 334 (6th Cir.
02/24/1984); R.W.T. v. Honorable Donald F.
Dalton, 712 F.2d 1225 (8th Cir. 07/11/1983);
Alan Mcsurely, Et Al. v. John L. Mcclellan, Et Al,
No. 82-2369 (DC Circuit) 12/10/82; Glaser v.
Board of Bar Examiners, 17 F.3d 394 (9th Cir.
02/11/1994); Spry v. Boles, 299 F.2d 332 (4th Cir.
02/13/1962); Buckner v. Hudspeth, 105 F.2d 396
(10th Cir. 06/20/1939); Drake v. Portuondo, No.
06-1365-pr (2d Cir. 01/23/2009).
8. But the clearest evidence is the Subpoena
Regulations of the Judicial Conference that Windsor
identified and used as the roadmap for his subpoena of
Judge Evans. [Appeal Brief P 34-41.]
The test that should be applied in determining
whether a judge may be compelled to testify is
well stated by Judge Austin, of the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois,
in Standard Packaging Corporation v. Curwood,
Inc., 365 F. Supp. 134 (1973), as follows:
"Generally, all individuals are subject to the
lawful authority of a competent court to compel
testimony of any facts within their knowledge and
relevant to the issues at hand. (Citations omitted.)
An exemption from compulsory testimony is
45
recognized in certain situations to protect
integrity and individual responsibility of
government officials whose duties involve thi
exercise of judicial and quasi-judicial authority
(Citations omitted.) The essential line of
demarcation appearing from the cases is that
judicial and quasi-judicial officers may be
compelled to testify only as to relevant matters of
fact that do not probe into or Compromise the
mental processes employed in formulating th
judgment in question (United States v. Cross
516 I Supp 700 (M.ID.Ga. 06/18/1981

he has done ts identify Judge Evans and Judge Duttey a

29
19. | Windsor has researched every case on
“motions to quash subpoenas” on www.versuslaw.com
and he has not found a single case that indicates any
courts rejected arguments similar to those offered by
Windsor or where sanctions were imposed for a
frivolous appeal. (See Pollard v. Commissioner of
Internal Revenue Service, 786 F.2d 1063 (11th Cir.
04/14/1986).) (See Exhibit D hereto.)
20. This Appeal was not taken “in the face of
clear, unambiguous, dispositive holdings of this and
other appellate courts.’ (Capps v. Eggers, 782 F.2d 1341,
1343 (5th Cir.1986). See McDougal v. Comm'r, 818
F.2d 453, 455 (5th Cir.1987); Stelly v. Comm'r, 761 F.2d
1113, 1116 (5th Cir. 1985); Finch v. Hughes Aircratt
Co., 926 F.2d 1574, 1579-80, 17 U.S.P.Q.2d (BNA)
1914, 1918 (Fed. Cir. 1991).)
Sanctions on pro se litigants are appropriate if
they were warned that their claims are frivolous
and they were aware of "ample legal authority
holding squarely against them." Stel//y v. Comm'r
supra. (7aylor v. Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, No. 09-60455 (5th Cir. 10/26/2009).)
21. Windsor has researched every Eleventh
Circuit case involving pro se parties filing appeals such
as his, and he finds no precedent for finding a pro se
party to have filed a frivolous motion in attempts to
reverse rulings on motions to quash. See Exhibit E.
(See Redeker-Barry v. United States, No. 08-
16166 (11th Cir. 06/25/2009); Kang v. Noro-
Moseley Partners, No. 07-10310 (11th Cir.
09/04/2007); Securities and Exchange
30
Commission v. Investment Technology, Inc., 200
Fed.Appx. 858 (11th Cir. 09/14/2006); Lawyers
Title Ins. Conp. v. JDC (America) Corp., 52 F.3d
1575 (11th Cir. 05/31/1995); Moore v. Armour
Pharmaceutical Co., 927 F.2d 1194 (11th Cir.
04/02/1991); In re Grand Jury Proceeding, 842
F.2d 1229 (11th Cir. 03/31/1988); and (Spivey v.
ie 683 F.2d 881 (11th Cir. 08/16/1982)
22. In Spivey v. Zant the district court's error
tainted the evidentiary hearing by denying Spivey, and
the court, access to materials which might have helped
resolve the factual issues which precipitated the hearing
and as to which other, dispositive, evidence was not
available. Judge Duffey has done the same thing by
denying Windsor access to information that only Judge
Evans has that will prove fraud in Civil Action 1:06-CV-
0714-ODE (“MIST-1”) and enable him to get the case
reopened.
“We therefore vacate the order of the district
court and remand for further proceedings. Spivey
must be permitted to inspect the materials in
Schloth's possession which may bear on the
factual issues before the court. The court must
then reopen the evidentiary hearing and allow
Spivey a full and fair opportunity to cross-
examine Schloth based on those materials, and to
present whatever additional evidence — the
materials divulge.” (Spivey v. Zant 683 F.2d 881
(11th Cir. 08/16/1982).)
c THERE IS NO BASIS WHATSOEVER FOR THIS
ORDER
a There is no basis fer this ORDER, and the
ORDER is challenged on this basis.
24. — This Court gave a two sentence response
to the Appeal of the Motion to Quash: “In reviewing
motions filed with the Court, we have also reviewed
Appellant's brief, which fails to meaningfully challenge
the orders on appeal. Consequently, we sua sponte
DISMISS this appeal AS FRIVOLOUS AS BRIEFED.” This
is an erroneous decision. This is an error of fact because
it failed to consider the uncontroverted facts.
25. It is interesting that the ORDER indicates
that the Appellees’ briefs were not considered. (Page 2
of the ORDER, fourth paragraph — Exhibit A.)
26. The Eleventh Circuit cited no case law to
support the ruling; only one case was cited and
erroneously — Farese v. Scherer, 342 F.3d 1223 (11th
Cir. 08/19/2003). This case DENIED Rule 38 sanctions:
“Fed. R. App. P. 38. "Rule 38 sanctions have been
imposed against appellants who raise ‘clearly
frivolous claims' in the face of estaolished law
and clear facts." Misabec Mercantile, Inc. De
Panama v. Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette ACL1
Futures, Inc., 853 F.2d 834, 841 (11th Cir. 1988).
“Because Farese has raised valid arguments as to
why the district court's dismissal should be
reversed or vacated, we conclude that the Rule
38 motion is without merit and deny the motion.”
[emphasis added.
32
27. Eventhe Misabec Mercantile case
DENIED Rule 38 sanctions:
“Rule 38 sanctions have been imposed against
appellants who raise ‘clearly frivolous claims’ in
the face of established law and clear facts. See,
e.g., United States v. A Single Family Residence,
803 F.2d 625, 632 (11th Cir.1986); Stubbs v.
Commissioner, 797 F.2d 936, 938-39 (11th
Cir.1986). This is not such a case. We
accordingly decline to impose Rule 38
sanctions.” [emphasis added .|
28. The Eleventh Circuit made it clear on
January 15, 2010 that sanctions under FRAP 38 are
inappropriate against a pro se appellant even /f the
appeal is trivolous. (Pollinger v. Internal Revenue Service
Oversight Board, No. 09-12295 (11th Cir. 01/15/2010).
lemphasis added. |
29. So, this Court has no law to support its
ruling on sanctions and no facts -- NO explanation of
eny type. If this Court had an explanation for how the
Appeal could be considered frivolous, Windsor should
have been afforded the due process right to see what
they had to say and respond. This Court denied Windsor
a complete record of the case, and Windsor was
afforded no procedural safeguards. This Court issued
this ORDER for illegal reasons.
30. Such dismissals are not favored. They are
unfair to litigants. (Franklin v. State of Oregon, State
Welfare Division, 662 F.2d 1337, 1342 (9th Cir. 1981);
Lewis v. State of New York, 547 F.2d 4 (2d Cir. 1976).)
31. — Such dismissals deny an appellant the
opportunity to make legal arguments against the
dismissal. The prejudice is particularly acute with
respect to pro se parties ... who are generally unskilled
in the art of pleading. (7ingler v. Marshall, 716 F.2d
1109 (6th Cir. 09/15/1983).)
D. THIS COURT’S ORDER HAS ERRORS OF LAW
32. The ORDER dismissing Windsor’s Appeal
as frivolous is an error of law because the Supreme Court
expressed on October 20, 2009 that courts err in
disposing of claims without explanation of any sort.
(Corcoran v. Levenhagen, 558 U.S. ___ (2009), (08-
10495).)
33. The decision to deny the appeal is an error
of law because, as a general rule, any individual
competent to be a witness may be compelled to testify as
to facts within his or her knowledge that are relevant to a
matter before the court. (See Blair v. United States, 250
U.S. 273, 39S. Ct. 468, 63 L. Ed. 979 (1919); Standard
Packaging Cerp. v. Curwood, Inc., 365 F. Supp. 134
(N.D.UL.1973).)
E. THIS COURT'S ORDER IS A VIOLATION OF
WINDSOR’'S CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS
34. — This Court has violated Windsor’s
Constitutional rights and has denied due process. This
Court's cursory treatment of Windsor’s Appeal does not
comport with fair procedure and lacks the equality that
is required by the Constitution and its amendments.
35. | Windsor has been denied a fair judge at all
34
stages of the proceedings. Judge Evans and Judge Duffey
violated Windsor’s legal rights guaranteed in the First,
Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments
to the U.S. Constitution under color of law. The 11th
Circuit has done so as well.
36. Windsor submits that this Court issued this
ORDER for the sole purpose of damaging Windsor
because he has sued the Eleventh Circuit and has
requested leave of court to sue each of the judges that
issued this ORDER. These judges as much as said so.
37. Judges Carnes, Barkett, and Hull must
recuse themselves because they have a personal interest
in the outcome of this appeal.
38. Judges Carnes, Barkett, and Hull have
become accessories after the fact and conspirators with
Judge Duffey and Judge Evans in obstiuction of justice.
The ORDER of this Court denies Windsor access to the
information that will enable him to recover $1 million
“stolen” from him as the result of the fraud upon the
courts in MIST-1.
Zz THIS COURT DISCRIMINATED AGAINST
WINDSOR BECAUSE HE IS PRO SE
39. — This Court has discriminated against
Windsor because he is pro se. This Court has also
discriminated against him because he has had the
audacity to tae action against federal judges.
40. Windsor submits that his experience is that
judges in the Northern District of Georgia and the
Eleventh Circuit ROUTINELY violate the law and twist
35
the facts and the law to accomplish their own improper
purposes. These judges have apparently decided that
they will take the law into their own hands and do
whatever they please. All of the federal judges in Atlanta
that Windsor has encountered are dishonest and corrupt.
41. By calling this Appeal frivolous, this Court
must prove that the legal points on pages 22-26 and 60-
67 in Windsor’s Appeal are not arguable on their merits.
(Anders v. California, supra.)
42. It is not frivolous for Windsor to claim the
ERRORS OF LAW cited on pages 28-50 of the
Appellant's Brief as these are arguable on their merits.
43. It was not frivolous for Windsor to claim
the ERRORS OF FACT cited on pages 27, 50-60 of the
Appellant's Brief.
G. THESE JUDGES ISSUED THIS ORDER BECAUSE
THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT IS CORRUPT.
44. There is nothing wrong with the Appeal
Brief. The problem is that Judges Carnes, Barkett, and
Hull are corrupt. They don’t like it that Windsor is
exposing the corruption in the federal court system in
Atlanta, so they are taking corrupt action to damage him.
45. | Windsor was shocked when the Eleventh
Circuit denied the appeals of Alcatraz and Windsor at
Summary Judgment. Alcatraz cited six primary errors
with 13 subsidiary errors. Windsor cited an additional
10 errors. Judge Hull, Judge Fay, and Judge Dubina did
not address the points of error, and the ruling makes
absolutely no sense to Windsor.
36
46. Windsor asked that this Court not let that
happen again. But Judges Carnes, Barkett, and Hull
have proven that they are dishonest.
47. Judges of the Eleventh Circuit have proven
their own dishonesty and corruption again and again in
these actions. Windsor believes every order issued has
been erroneous. All Eleventh Circuit orders involving
Windsor are referenced and incorporated herein as if
attached hereto.
48. The Affidavit of William M. Windsor,
attached hereto as Exhibit F and referenced and
incorporated herein, includes information that is not
included in this Motion to Vacate and Motion to
Reconsider due to page limits.
49. Windsor asks that this Court reconsider the
Motion to Disqualify all Eleventh Circuit and Northern
District of Georgia judges because there is an
appearance of bias that requires recusal.
50. | Windsor asks that this Court reconsider the
Motion for Change of Venue so this Appeal may be
moved to another Circuit where the judges will not be
friends and associates of Judge Evans. Windsor cited 7
cases. By refusing the change of venue and
disqualification of the judges, this Court is denying due
process to Windsor and Is failing to ensure justice in this
case. This Court screams “appearance of bias.”
51. Plaintiffs’ filings relative to this Appeal was
filled with false statements and statements not supported
by the record.
37
52. By turning a blind eye to the criminal
activity and grossly violating Windsor’s Constitutional
rights, this Court is a disgrace to the judicial system.
This Court is an accomplice to the criminal acts of the
Appellees and their attorneys.
53. The Appellees did not quote a single valid
case to support their Motion for Sanctions. The
Appellees did not provide any valid case law authority
for their FRIVOLOUS motion for sanctions.
54. It is well-established that Courts will
compel judicial testimony when it is needed and that
discovery is absolutely permissible post-discovery.
55. This Court claimed Windsor provided no
legal basis for his Motion to Disqualify the Judges.
Windsor clearly identified the legal basis in his motion
and in his Reply to the Response of Judge Evans.
Windsor assumes 28 U.S.C. 144 and 28 U.S.C. 455 are
also to be considered.
56. Judge Evans has information material to
civil proceedings. She is obligated by law to testify.
57. | When Windsor filed his Appeal, he did not
have access to research information that he now has. As
a result, some important case law was unknown to him
that supports the requirement of Judge Evans to give
testimony:
Neither are we aware oi any rule generally
exempting a judge from the normal obligation to
respond as a witness when he has information
38
material to a criminal or civil proceeding. Cf.
United States v. Nixon, 418 U.S. 683, 705-707
(1974). (Dennis v. Sparks et al, 101 S. Ct. 183,
449 U.S. 24 (U.S. 11/17/1980).)
There is no constitutionally based privilege
immunizing judges from being required to testify
about their judicial conduct. The doctrine of
judicial immunity does not excuse a judge from
responding as a witness when his co-conspirators
are sued. (Dennis v. Sparks et al, 101 S. Ct. 183,
449 U.S. 24 (U.S. 11/17/1980).)
Whatever their origins, these exceptions to the
demand for every man's evidence are not lightly
created nor expansively construed, for they are in
derogation of the search for truth. Because of the
key role of the testimony of witnesses in the
judicial process, courts have historically been
cautious about privileges. Mr. Justice Frankfurter,
dissenting in E/kins v. United States, 364 U. S.
206, 364 U. S. 234 (1960), said of this:
"Limitations are properly placed upon the
operation of this general principle only to the very
limited extent that permitting a refusal to testify or
excluding relevant evidence has a public good
transcending the normally predominant principle
of utilizing all rational means for ascertaining
truth." (/n re Suspension to Practice Before United
States District Court of Southern District of lowa
of John D. Randall John D. Randall, 640 F.2d 898
(8th Cir. 01/21/1981).)
39
Moreover, the Fifth Amendment also guarantees
that no person shall be deprived of liberty without
due process of law. It is the manifest duty of the
courts to vindicate those guarantees, and to
accomplish that it is essential that all relevant and
admissible evidence be produced. Page 418 U. S.
711 United States v. Nixon, 418 U.S. 683, 705
707 (1974). (In re Suspension to Practice Before
United States District Court of Southern District of
lowa of John D. Randall John D. Randall, 640
F.2d 898 (8th Cir. 01/21/1981).)
Testimonial exclusionary rules and privileges
contravene the fundamental principle that "'the
public... has a right to every man's evidence."
(United States v. Bryan, 339 U.S. 323, 331
(1950).) As such, they must be strictly construed
and accepted "only to the very limited extent that
permitting a refusal to testify or excluding relevant
evidence has a public good transcending the
normally predominant principle of utilizing all
rational means for ascertaining truth." E/kins v.
United States, 364 U.S, 206, 234 (1960)
(Frankfurter, J., dissenting). Accord, United States
v. Nixon, 418 U.S. 683, See also 8 J. Wigmore,
Evidence § 2192 (McNaughton rev. 1961); 4 The
Works of Jeremy Bentham 321 (J. Bowring ed.
1843). (Trammell v. United States, \00 S. Ct. 906,
445 U.S. 40 (U.S. 02/27/1980).)
Evidentiary privileges in litigation are not favored.
See Elkins v. United States, 364 U.S. 206, 234
(1960) (Frankfurter, J., dissenting): "Limitations are
properly placed upon the operation of this
general principle [of no testimonial privilege]
40
only to the very limited extent that permitting a
refusal to testify or excluding relevant evidence
has a public good transcending the normally
predominant principle of utilizing all rational
means for ascertaining truth." See also 8 J.
Wigmore, Evidence § 2192 (McNaughton rev
1961); 4 The Works of Jeremy Bentham 321 (J.
Bowring ed. 1843). Herbert v. Lando et al, 99 S.
Ct. 1635, 441 U.S. 153 (U.S. 04/18/1979).
In Nero Trading's case, the district court's failure
to articulate its reasons for forgoing an evidentiary
hearing and denying Nero Trading's motion to
quash leads us to conclude that Nero Trading was
not afforded a meaningful opportunity to question
the Service concerning its reasons for issuing the
summonses. The district court refused a limited
adversarial hearing and issued a perfunctory order
with only passing reference to any legal standard
and no reference at all to either the merits of the
Service's prima facie case or Nero Trading's
claims in rebuttal. (Nero Trading, LLC v. United
States, Dep't of the Treasury, 570 F.3d 1244 (11th
Cir. 06/10/2009).)
H. = THIS COURT ERRED IF IT CLAIMS WINDSOR

58. Windsor has stated repeatedly under oath,
under penalty of perjury, and before a notary that he has
never presented any motions for any improper purpose,
such as to harass or to Cause unnecessary delay or
neediess increase in the cost of litigation. Every motion
that Windsor has filed has been supported by a sworn

4S
- Windsor demands & Hearing on this
Court's order dated February 25, 2010 dismissing
Windsor’s Appeal; this Court’s order granting sanctions
pursuant to FRAP 38 (“ORDER” — Exhibit A hereto); and
Windsor’s Motion to Vacate Order filed March 8, 2010.
The Appeal (“Appeal”) is from two orders of the United
States District Court, Northern District of Georgia, Civil
Action Number1:09-CV-01543-WSD entered June 30
2009 and September 2, 2009 (“Appealed Orders”
Exhibit B hereto). The Secona 2010 Affidavit of William
M. Windsor (“Aff #2010-2” is attached hereto as Exhibit
C. (Att #2010-2 4911.)
WINDSOR DEMANDS A HEARING
2 Windsor demands a hearing. Due process
mandates a hearing. The Eleventh Circuit has indicated
that Windsor is entitled to a hearing in cases such as this
(Aff #2010-2 912.)
7 The need for a hearing in this case is even
more critical because this Court has issued a grossly
inadequate ORDER; this Court is permitting perjury and
fraud upon the courts by Plaintiffs; and this Court is
committing crimes through its action and inaction in this
Appeal. (Aff #2010-2 413.)
4. Windsor is being denied due process.
Procedural due process requires notice and an
opportunity to be heard before any governmental
deprivation of a property or liberty interest. (Z/pperer v.
City of Fort Myers, 41 F.3d 619, 623 (11th Cir. 1995).}
(Atif #2010-2 414.)
-
5. Our founding fathers expressed noble
principles in the Constitution -- freedom, justice, and the
protection of individual rights. However, in the
administration of the laws, something has gone
dreadfully wrong. The lofty principles have been
usurped by officials with improper intentions. The
United States of today is not the benign society that the
founding fathers aspired to create. (Aff #2010-2 915.)
6. Our founding fathers did not intend for
judges to be able to lie, cheat, and help others “stea
from parties they are sworn to protect through fairness
and impartiality. But this is exactly what Judge Duffey
Judge Evans, and the judges of the Eleventh Circuit have
done. (Aff #2010-2 416.)
“Few more serious threats to individual liberty
can be imagined than a corrupt judge. Clothed
with the power of the state and authorized to pass
judgment on the most basic aspects of everyday
life, a judge can deprive citizens of liberty and
property in complete disregard of the
Constitution. The injuries inflicted may
and enduring.” (Judicial Immunity vs. Due
Process, Robert Craig Waters, Cato Journal, Vol.7
No.2 (Fall 1987).)
be seve;©re
The guarantee of Constitutional rights is
being illegally revoked by this Court. (Aff #2010-2 917.)
8. Windsor has tried repeatedly for close to a
year to obtain justice. In every instance Windsor’ s
appeals for justice and protection of the laws have been
rejected in favor of a cover up of attorney and judicial
wrongdoing and protection of the lawbreaking officers of
47
the court. In every instance Windsor’s rights, ostensibly
protected by the Constitution and the laws, have been
scorned, and Windsor’s appeals to the authorities have
been ignored or rejected with contempt. In even
instance where legal actions were filed with the courts
the courts have ignored the crimes. The courts have
failed to ever allow Windsor to be heard and to present
his evidence or examine the evildoers. The courts have
never even considered the facts and the overwhelming
evidence that Windsor has amassed. Instead, federal
judges have committed one crime after another while
violating their oaths of office and the Code of Judicial
Conduct. (Aff #2010-2 418.)
9 Although evidence of the crimes was
provided to various authorities of the federal
government, officers from these authorities failed to
perform their legal duties to investigate. Each official to
whom the crimes were presented had a statutory duty
the capacity, and the authority, to address the crimes.
Each official willfully failed to act and instead covered
up the crimes. (Aff #2010-2 419.)
10. On July 31, 2006, the Eleventh Circuit
issued its opinion in Am/ong & Amlong, P.A. v. Denny's,
Inc., 457 F.3d 1180 (11th Cir. 2006), as amended Oct.
10, 2006, in which the court noted that when under the
threat of sanctions, the person threatened is entitled to
an evidentiary hearing. Id at 1193. The issue presented
itself again in 2007, and the district court granted the
application for a hearing, and the Eleventh Circuit
affirmed. (Hudson v. International Computer
Negotiations, Inc., 499 F.3d 1252, 19 A.D. Cases 1249
(11th Cir. 09/17/2007).) (Aff #2010-2 420.)
48
11. This Court is supposed to make its rulings
based upon legal evidence and to clearly state its factual
and legal findings in its orders. This Court has not done
so. Windsor must have a fair opportunity to challenge
the “evidence” presented and to present evidence in
defense, including the right to cross examine witnesses
and require proper authentication and form for
documentary evidence at a formal evidentiary hearing.
(Aff #2010-2 421.)
..a party threatened with sanctions is entitled to a
hearing. Reynolds v. Roberts, 207 F.3d 1288,
1302 (11th Cir. 2000); Amilong & Amlong v.
Denny's Inc. No. 04-14499 (11th Cir.
07/31/2006).
12. Windsor has provided uncontroverted
proof in the record of thousands of instances of false
testimony, false pleadings, and tampering with evidence
by the Plaintiffs and their attorneys. Windsor has
provided uncontroverted proof of false statements and
perjury in the documents filed by Plaintiffs in Windsor’s
Appeal. Windsor must be able to cross examine these
witnesses. (Howell Mill/Collier Assoc. v. Pennypacker's,
194 Ga. App. 169, 171 (2) (390 SE2d 257); Mitcham v.
Blalock, 214 Ga. App. 29, 31 (2), 32; Citadel Comp. v.
All-South Subcontractors, 217 Ga. App. 736, 737 (1),
738 (458 SE2d 711). Under these cases and the
standards of the Federal Rules of Evidence, significant
portions of Plaintiffs’ filings should be excluded from
consideration. (Aff #2010-2 4 22.)
13. Plaintiffs’ Attorney, Mr. Carl Hugo
Anderson, has committed multiple counts of perjury in
his filings with this Court related to Windsor’s Appeal.
49
Windsor must be given the opportunity to prove this
perjury by examining Mr. Anderson. The perjury of Mr.
Anderson should be more than sufficient to cause this
Court to vacate its ORDER awarding sanctions. (Aff
#2010-2 423.)
14. This Court must conduct a hearing. refer
this to an impartial judge, or refer this motion to a
magistrate judge to conduct an evidentiary hearing,
make findings of fact and conclusions of law, and file a
Report and Recommendation. Someone must weigh
evidence. Judge Duffey never conducted a hearing.
Judge Evans never conducted a hearing. The Eleventh
Circuit never conducted a nearing. (See Amiong &
Amlong, P.A. v. Denny's, Inc., 457 F.3d 1180 (11th Cir.
2006).) (Atf #2010-2 424.)
When threatened with sanctions, the party
threatened is entitled to a hearing. (Reynolds v.
Roberts, 207 F.3d 1288, 1302 (11th Cir. 2000).)

Bernstein v. Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP. No.

15. The Eleventh Circuit has clearly stated that
sanctions such as this Court has ordered are “in the
nature of civil contempt” and require a hearing. (Aff
#2010-2 425.)
Sanctions designed to compensate one party for
expenses incurred due to the opposing party's
50
misconduct is in the nature of civil contempt
requiring notice and the opportunity to be heard
prior to the award. (Campos v. City of Naples,
202 Fed.Appx. 381 (11th Cir. 10/25/2006).) (B.2.
Harbert Intern., LLC v. Hercules Steel Co., 441

(11th) Cir. 2003); Oakes v. Horizon Financial,
S.A., 259 F.3d 1315, 1320 n.5 (11th Cir. 2001)
Even the award of sanctions under the court's
nherent power must "comply with the mandates
of due process." (Chambers v. NASCO, Inc., 501
U.S. 32, 49-50 (1991); Roadway Express v. Piper,

16. Aperson's right to reasonable notice of a
charge against him, and an opportunity to be heard in
his defense - a right to his day in court - are basic in our
system of jurisprudence; and these rights include, as a
minimum, a right to examine the witnesses against him,
and to offer testimony. (United States v. Frazier, No. 01-
14680 (11th Cir. 10/15/2004).) (See also United States v.
Owen, 415 F.2d 383 (8 Cir. 1969); Chernekoff v. United
States, (9 Cir. 1955) 219 F.2d 721; United States v.

S1
lo say that courts have inherent power to deny all
right to defend an action and to render decrees
without any hearing whatever is, in the very
nature of things, to convert the court exercising
such an authority into an instrument of wrong and
oppression, and hence to strip it of that attribute
of justice upon which the exercise of judicial
power necessarily depends. (Hovey V. E/liott, 17
S. Ct. 841, 167 U.S. 409 at 414 (U.S
05/24/1897).) (See also Windsor v. McVeigh, 93

Typically, we require the district court to hold an
evidentiary hearing on damages.... See United
Artists Corp. v. Freeman, 605 F.2d 854, 957 (5th
Cir.1979).
17. Windsor will utilize the hearing to
challenge the basis and reasonableness of such proposed
sanctions. (Aff #2010-2 927.)
18. Windsor will also utilize the hearing to
establish that this Court has violated several criminal
statutes. (Aff #2010-2 428.)
19. The Plaintiffs and their attorneys are
dishonest. Windsor will prove at the hearing that the
Plaintiffs have dirty hands. (Aff #2010-2 429.)
20. At the hearing on this motion, the Court
will find that sanctions must be imposed against the
Plaintiffs because they have frivolously denied factual
allegations that are true and have made factual
allegations that are false. (See Williams v. R.W. Cannon,
Inc., No. 08-60168-CIV-UNGARO/SIMONTON
(S.D.Fla. 09/24/2008).) (Atf #2010-2 4 30.)
Zi, At the hearing, Windsor will address and
present evidence and testimony relative to bad faith. (Aff
#2010-2 4931.)
22. Windsor will show at the hearing that the
facts before this Court do not warrant sanctions. (Aff
#2010-2 4932.)
23. | Windsor will show at the hearing that the
Plaintiffs have not provided the information necessary to
support a claim. (Aff #2010-2 433.)
24. Windsor will show at the hearing that any
attempt by the Plaintiffs to recover attorneys’ fees is
barred by collateral estoppel. (Aff #2010-2 434.)
53
25. Windsor has stated repeatedly in his
declarations filed with this Court that he does not have a
frivolous bone in his body and has never filed any
motions that were frivolous. Windsor will provide proof
of this at the hearing as well as testimony from attorneys
and other special witnesses. (Aff #2010-2 435.)
26. Windsor objects to the affidavits provided
by the Plaintiffs. Mr. Carl Hugo Anderson is a known
perjuror. He must not be allowed to testify through
affidavits. Cross examination is mandatory with this liar
(Aff #2010-2 436.)
27. Windsor needs a reasonable period of time
following the hearing to file an amended response to the
ORDER and information regarding sanctions. (Aff
#2010-2 437.)
WINDSOR DEMANDS DUE PROCESS
28. Windsor objec ts because this Court has
previously violated Windsor’s Constitutional rights to
due process. (Aff #2010-2 438.)
29. [he courts have denied Windsor due
process for four years. Windsor has NEVER been
granted an evidentiary hearing and has been denied a
)
neutral judge. (Aff #2010-2 4 39.)
30. Procedural due process requires notice
and the opportunity to be heard. Windsor has been
denied both. (Aff #2010-2 440.)
54
"An essential principle of due process is that a
deprivation of life, liberty, or property ‘be
preceded by notice and opportunity for hearing
appropriate to the nature of the case’ " (quoting
Mullane v. Central Hanover Bank & Trust Co
339 U.S. 306, 313 (1950)); Concrete Pipe &
Products of Cal., Inc. v. Construction Laborers
Pension Trust for Southern Cal, 508 U.S. 602,

detached judge in the first instance’ " (quoting
Ward v. Monroeville, 409 U.S. 57, 61-62
(1972))
‘For more than a century the central meaning of
procedural due process has been clear: ‘Partie:
whose rights are to be affected are entitled to be
heard; and in order that they may enjoy that right
they must first be notified.' " Fuentes v. Shevin
407 U.S. 67, 80 (1972) (quoting Baldwin v. Hale
| Wall. 223, 233 (1864); Armstrang v. Manzo
80 U.S. 545, 552 (1965) (other citations
omitted)). These essential constitutional promises
may not be eroded. (Hamdi v. Rumsfeld, 124
S.Ct. 2633, 542 U.S. 507, 159 L.Ed.2d 578 (U.S
06/28/2004).) (See Holden v. Hardy, 169 U.S

It is true, of course, that "the fundamental
requirement of due process is an opportunity to
be heard upon such notice and proceedings as
are adequate to safeguard the right for which the
constitutional protection is invoked." (Anderson

... [W]e see no reason why the absence of a
motion of a party to the litigation or some third
party requesting that a seal or protective order be
lifted should remove a federal court’s ability to
monitor and modify its previous orders in exercise
of its “supervisory power over its own records and
files.” (Gambale v. Deutsche Bank AG, 377 F.3d
133, 141 (2d Cir. 2004) (citations omitted).)
The law is clear that it is within the Court's
discretion, sua sponte, to unseal the record. (See
In re Cendant, 260 F.3d at 192.) It is also beyond
question that this Court retains the power to
modify or lift seal orders that it nas previously
granted. (Pansy v. Borough of Stroudsburg, 23
F.3d 772, at 784-785 (3d Cir. 1994).)
Furthermore, because there exists an antecedent,
extremely broad, right of access to judicial
records and proceedings promoting "a pervasive
common law right 'to inspect and copy public
records and documents, including judicial
records and documents," /n re Cendant, 260 F.3d
at 192, this Court intends to order the unsealing
of the record. (Zurich American Ins. Co. v. Rite
Aid Corp., 345 F.Supp.2d 497 (E.D.Pa.
11/23/2004).)
37. | Whatever is under seal should establish
either that Maid committed fraud upon the courts by
filing bogus documents, or that Judge Evans withheld
documents that were extremely relevant to MIST-1. In
either case, this evidence should prove that the order te
quash the subpoena was improper. (Aff #2010-2 947.)
38. — There is no justification for keeping the
58
Diesel
contents secret from Windsor. Windsor has obtained the
valid documents directly from The Niagara Parks
Commission and the State of New York. Copies of these
contracts were previously filed in MIST-1 by Windsor
and were provided to Judge Evans. Since Windsor has
the contracts, so there is no confidentiality justification.
In addition, these documents have now been made
public by the news media, and these documents are
available for review or download on the Internet. (Aff
#2010-2 9 48.)
39. ‘There is not “good cause” to keep these
documents under seal. These documents cannot be
used for improper purposes. Lifting the seal will not
disclose any corporate secrets or information as the
documents are now public. Lifting the seal will not
protect scandalous or defamatory matter as there is none
in these documents. (Aff #2010-2 449.)
Under the common law, there is a well-
established presumption of pubic access to
judicial documents. (See Mixon v. Warner
Communications, Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 597
(1978).) This public right of access is codified for
bankruptcy cases in 11 U.S.C. § 107(a), which
provides that all papers filed in a bankruptcy case
are public records open to examination, except as
specifically provided in the statute. (See Gitto
Global Corp., 422 F.3d at 6-7; In re Crawford,
194 F.3d 954, 960 (9th Cir. 1999); William T.
Bodah and Michelle M. Morgan, “Protective
Orders in the Bankruptcy Court: The
Congressional Mandate of Bankruptcy Code
Section 107 and its Constitutional Implications,”
24 Hastings Const. L. Q. 67 (Fall 1996).) The
59
statute provides for two exceptions to this broad
right of public access: the court may (and, on
motion of a party in interest, shall) (1) protect an
entity with regard to certain commercial secrets
and information, or (2) “protect a person with
respect to scandalous or defamatory matter
contained in a paper filed in a case under this
title.” (Lawrence P. King, Collier on Bankruptcy
§ 107.03|1] |b) (15th ed. Rev. 2007).) “...in light
of the public’s common law presumptive right of
access to judicial documents, the court has the
authority to lift a protective order or seal on
documents in its files, even in the absence of a
motion.
[A] district court can modify a protective order
when a third party requests judicial documents
after the parties have filed a stipulation of
dismissal pursuant to settlement. (Gambale v.
Deutsche Bank, 377 F.3d 133 (2nd Cir. 2004).)
[he existence of a common law right of access to
judicial records is beyond dispute. (See Littlejohn
v. Bic Corp., 851 F.2d 673, 677-78 (3d Cir.
1988); United States v. Criden, 648 F.2d 814, 819
(3d Cir. 1981) (Criden 1).) This Court has made it
clear that our "strong presumption" of openness
does not permit the routine closing of judicial
records to the public. The party seeking to seal
any part of a judicial record bears the heavy
burden of showing that "the material is the kind of
information that courts will protect" and that
“disclosure will work a clearly defined and
serious injury to the party seeking closure."
(Publicker Indus., Inc. v. Cohen,733 F.2d 1059,
60
1071 (3d Cir. 1984); Miller v. Indiana Hosp., \6
F.3d 549 (3d Cir. 02/23/1994),)
40. It has been a violation of Windsor’s
Constitutional rights to due process as well as First
Amendment and common law rights that Judge Evans
has kept these documents under seal. (Aff #2010-2
450.)
There is both a First Amendment and common
law right to inspect judicial records. (See United
States v. Smith, 776 F.2d 1104, 1111 (3d Cir.
1985) (First Amendment).) While the public’s
right to inspect judicial records may give way in
certain circumstances to other, more pressing
interests, such as the Government's interest in
maintaining confidentiality in order to
successfully build a criminal case, “Is}uch
circumstances will be rare . . . and the balance of
interests must be struck with special care.”
(Waller v. Georgia, 467 U.S: 39, 45 (1984).)
41. Windsor’s most basic legal rights are at
stake here. (Aff #2010-2 451.)
“The operations of the courts and the judicial
conduct of judges are matters of utmost public
concern,” (Landmark Commc’‘ns, ~ v. Virginia,
435 U.S. 829, 839, 98S. Ct. 1535, 1541 (1978);
(Romero v. Drummond (11" Cir. iPetc
Even if the initial sealing was justified, when there
is a subsequent motion to remove such a seal, the
district court should closely examine whether
circumstances have changed sufficiently to allow
61
the presumption allowing access to court records
to prevail. In this case, we see no reason to
maintain the impoundment.” (Mi/ler v. Indiana
Hosp., 16 F.3d 549 (3d Cir. 02/23/1994).)
42. Judge Duffey, Judge Evans, and this Court
have no legal right to conceal evidence. There is a legal
obligation to disclose. The actions of these judges
constitute obstruction of justice. (Aff #2010-2 952.)
“The post-judgment discovery by a defeated
litigant of evidence establishing, clearly and
convincingly, that the prevailing party gave false
testimony which likely affected the result may
provide a basis for vacating a judgment under
Rule 60(b). E.g., 11 CHARLES A. WRIGHT ET AL.,
FEDERAL PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE S§ 2860-
61 (1995); see Clarkson Co. v. Shaheen, 544 F.2d
624, 631 (2d Cir. 1976) (requirement of clear and
convincing proof).)
43. The Middle District of Georgia has ruled
that discovery can be obtained from judges in matters
involving disqualification, one of the important issues in
this civil action: (Aff #2010-2 953.)
“| conclude that the discovery mechanisms of the
Federal Rules of Civil procedure would be
available in an appropriate Case to a party who
contemplates filing a motion for disqualification
of the presiding judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§
144 or 455(a), and who wishes to establish
relevant facts from witnesses other than the
presiding judge such as, in this instance, Judges
62
Fitzpatrick and Elliott.” (Cheeves v. Southern
Clays, Inc., 797 F. Supp. 1570 (M.D.Ga.
06/17/1992.)
44. Windsor has provided extensive proof of
fraud and dishonest activity in this case. (See MIST-1
Doc.462, incorporated herein as if attached hereto.) The
documents under seal will provide proof of a specific act
of fraud. (Aff #2010-2 454.)
“...after final judgment has entered, our strong
interest in the finality of judgments leads courts to
intervene in a search for evidence of fraud only if
there has been some showing that a fraud actually
has occurred. See H.K. Porter Co. v. Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Co., 536 F.2d 1115, 1118-22 (6th
Cir. 1976) (discovery in aid of a motion attacking
a final judgment on the basis of fraud should be
permitted only if there is some evidence of fraud);
see also Midwest Franchise Corp. v. Metromedia
Restaurant Group, Inc., 177 F.R.D. 438, 440
(N.D. lowa 1997) (prima facie showing of fraud
required); United States ex rel. Free v. Peters, 826
F. Supp. 1153, 1154 (N.D. Ill. 1993) (same).
(Duhaime v. John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance
Co., 183 F.3d 1 (1st Cir. 06/28/1999).)
45. Discovery may certainly be appropriate in
an effort to prove fraud upon the court. (H.. K. Porter Co.
v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., 536 F.2d 1115 (6th Cir.
06/09/1976).) (Aff #2010-2 455.)
46. Judge Evans has violated 18 USC §
1512(c), and she shall be fined under this title or
63
imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both. (Aff #2010-
2 456.)
THIS COURT DISCRIMINATED AGAINST WINDSOR
BECAUSE HE IS PRO SE
47. Windsor submits that this Court has
discriminated against him because he is pro se. This
Court has also discriminated against him because he has
had the audacity to take action against federal judges.
(Aff #2010-2 457.)
48. Windsor submits that his experience is that
judges in the Northern District of Georgia and the
Eleventh Circuit ROUTINELY violate the law and twist
the facts and the law to accomplish their own improper
purposes. These judges have apparently decided that
they will take the law into their own hands and do
whatever they please. All of the federal judges in Atlanta
that Windsor has encountered are dishonest and corrupt.
(Aff #2010-2 458.)
49. Pro Se Windsor is being denied equal
protection, a violation of his Constitutional rights. (Aff
#2010-2 459.)
50. | Windsor’s Motion to Vacate and Motion
for Reconsideration filed on March 8, 2010 is referenced
and incorporated herein as if attached hereto as are all
documents filed in this Appeal. (Aff #2010-2 460.)
WHEREFORE, Windsor respectfully requests that
the Court do as follows:
1) Schedule the evidentiary hearing;
64
Issue an order giving Windsor the ability to
conduct depositions prior to the hearing;
2) Issue an order lifting the seal on MIST-1 Doc
168;
3) Grant Windsor a jury trial; and
4) Deny any fees to the Plaintiffs, and grant such
sanctions and other relief to Windsor as the Court
deems appropriate.

IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT
No. 09-14735-DD
MAID OF THE MIST COTRPORATION,
MAID OF THE MIST STEAMBOAT COMPANY, LTD.,
Plaintiffs-Appellees,
Versus
WILLIAM M. WINDSOR,
Defendant-Appellant
JUDGE ORINDA D. EVANS,
Movant-Appellee.
BEFORE: CARNES, BARKETT and HULL, Circuit Judges.
BY THE COURT:
Now pending before the Court are numerous
motions filed both by Appellant and by Appellees Maid
of the Mist, et al. ("Maid"). Included in those motions are
Appellant's "Emergency Motion to Disqualify Eleventh
Circuit Judges and Motion to Change Venue" and Maid's
Motion for Sanctions for Filing a of this Court and for
transfer to another venue.
66
It is plain from review of Appellant's motion, as
well as this history of this appeal and the previous cases
filed by Appellant in this Court, that he seeks to
disqualify the members of this Court based on his belief
that previous adverse rulings were the result of bias,
dishonesty or some other improper motivation or intent,
up to and including relationships with Judges Evans and
Duffey of the Northern District of Georgia.
However, as the Supreme Court stated in Liteky v.
U.S., 510 U.S. 540 555,114 S.Ct. 1147, 1157 (1994),
"judicial rulings alone almost never constitute a valid
basis for a bias or partiality motion." see also Byrne v.
Nezhat, 261 F.3d 1075, 1103 (11th Cir. 2001);
McWhorter v. City of Birmingham, 906 F .2d 674, 678
(11th Cir. 1990). Appellant's motion to disqualify and
the other motions filed by Appeliant fail to allege any
valid basis for disqualification. Consequently,
Appellant's motion to disqualify this Court is without
merit and is DENIED
In reviewing the motions filed with the Court, we
have also reviewed Appellant's brief, which fails to
meaningfully challenge the orders on appeal.
Consequently, we sua sponte DISMISS this appeal AS
FRIVOLOUS AS BRIEFED. See 11th Cir. R. 42-4.
With the exception of Maid's Motion for
Sanctions for Filing a Frivolous Appeal, all remaining
motions are DENIED AS MOOT.
We now turn to Maid's Motion for Sanctions for
Filing a Frivolous Appeal. Although this motion initially
cites to 11th Cir. Rule 27-4 (sanctions for filing a
67
frivolous motion), the motion later cites to Fed.R.App.P.
38 and was filed contemporaneously with Maid's brief
as required by Rule 38. We therefore consider this
motion filed pursuant to Rule 38 and analyze it under
that rule. We take into consideration the fact that,
despite Appellant's prolific filings, Appellant is a pro se
litigant.
Rule 38 provides that: "If a court of appeals
determines that an appeal is frivolous, it may, after a
separately filed motion or notice from the court and
reasonable opportunity to respond, award just damages
and single or double costs to the appellee." "The purpose
of Rule 38 damages is to compensate appellees who are
forced to defend judgments awarded them in the trial
court from appeals that are wholly without merit, and to
‘preserve the appellate court calendar for cases worthy
of consideration.’ ... Another important purpose is to
discourage litigants from unnecessarily wasting their
opponents’ time and resources." See Nagle v. Alspach, 8
Fad 141, 145 (3rd Cir. 1993),
We have imposed Rule 38 sanctions upon
"appellants who raise ‘clearly frivolous claims' in the
face of established law and clear facts." See Farese v,
Scherer, 342 F.3d 1223, 1232 (11th Cir. 2003) citing
Misabec Mercantile, Inc. De Panama v. Donaldson,
Lufkin & Jenrette ACLI Futures, Inc. 853 F.2d 834, 841
(11th Cir. 1988).
After review of the matters pending before us, we
readily conclude that Appellant's conduct in this Court
meets the requirement for imposition of Rule 38
sanctions. Therefore, Maid's Rule 38 motion is
GRANTED.
68
Maid is DIRECTED to file a statement of costs and
expenses within twenty-one (21) days of the date of this
Order. Appellant's response to Maid's statement will bi
due within fourteen (14) days of service of Maid’:

STATEMENT REGARDING ORAL
ARGUMENT
Appellant Windsor requests oral argument.
This case is heavily fact dependent in a record that
contains thousands of false statements. Windsor
believes that oral argument will aid the court by
providing a more in-depth explanation of the facts
and will give the court the opportunity to question
Windsor about facts and issues to aid the court in
making a more informed decision.
Windsor ts pro se, and Windsor believes the
oral argument will assist the court in any areas
where Windsor was at a disadvantage as a pro se
party in the preparation of the written appeal.
Windsor also believes that the Eleventh
Circuit discriminates against pro se parties. An oral
argument might reduce the opportunity for this
Court to discriminate.

I. STATEMENT OF JURISDICTION
District Court Jurisdiction:
Jurisdiction for the District Court’s subject
matter 1s diversity among the parties pursuant to 28
U.S.C.A.§1332.
Court of Appeals Jurisdiction:
The United States Court of Appeals for the
Eleventh Circuit has juriscliction of this case
pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A.4 i291 because this is an
appeal of final decisions 0° the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, a
district court within the Eleventh Judicial Circuit.
Filing Dates Establishing the Timeliness of the
Appeal:
The Order Staying the Case (“Stay Order’)
was entered on June 8, 2009. [R.4.] (Depo-Doc.4.)
The “Order Granting Motion to Quash and
Motion to Supplement” (“Quash Order’) was
entered June 30, 2009. [R.32.] (Depo-Doc.32.)
The Motion for Reconsideration (“MFR”)
was filed on July 10, 2009. [R.34.] (Depo-Doc.34.)
8/7
The Motion for Change of Venue (“MCV”)
was filed on July 10, 2009. [Depo-Doc.36.)
The “Order Denying Motion for
Reconsideration and Motion for Change of Venue”
(“Reconsideration Order’) was entered September
3, 2009. [R.42.] (Depo-Doc.42.)
On September 15, 2009, the appeal fee was
paid. (Depo-Doc.44.)
The Appeal was docketed on September 21,
2009. [R.DS1.] {DS1.]
FRAP Rule 31(a)(1) provides that the
appellant must serve and file a brief within 40 days
after the record is filed. The record was filed on
October 14, 2009, so based upon FRAP, the Brief is
due by November 23, 2009. (Depo-Doc.47.)
However, on September 22, 2009, the U.S.C.A.
issued a notice to Windsor stating that Appeliant’s
Brief was to be filed within 40 days from September
21, 2009. This set a deadline of November 1, a
Sunday, so the Brief may be due on Monday,
November 2, 2009. (Depo-Doc.48.)
This civil action is shown as a “closed case”
by the District Court. [R.DS1.] [DS1.]
88
Assertion that the Appeal is from an
Appealable Order that establishes the Court of
Appeals’ Jurisdiction:
The Order Granting the Motion to Quash
(“Quash Order’) was filed on June 30, 2009.
[R.32.] (Depo-Doc.32.) The Motion for
Reconsideration (“MFR”) was filed on July 10,
2009 (Depo-Doc.34.) The Reconsideration Order
(“Reconsideration Order’) [R.42.| (Depo-Doc.42)
was entered on September 3, 2009. These orders
are final and appealable. The Reconsideration
Order is a reconsideration of the Quash Order.
These address the same subject, so this is an appeal
of both orders.
il. STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES
This 1s an appeal from an order dated
September 3, 2009 (“Reconsideration Order’) and
the underlying order dated June 30, 2009 (“Quash
Order’) that led to this appeal. These orders are
jointly referred to as the “Appealed Orders.”
The issues of error before the Court of Appeals are
as follows:
Whether Judge Duffey erred by allowing
Judge Evans to file a Motion to Quash Subpoena
and create this civil action.
Whether Judge Duffey erred by
demonstrating pervasive bias against Windsor.
Whether Judge Duffey erred by making false
statements in orders.
Whether Judge Duffey erred by encouraging
perjury, subornation of perjury, Rule 11 violations,
obstruction of justice, dishonest Plaintiffs, dishonest
Plaintiffs’ Attorneys, and dishonest Judge Evans.
Whether Judge Duffey erred by making fact
decisions contrary to the facts that were before the
court.
Whether Judge Duffey erred by commiting
perjury.
Whether Judge Duffey erred by issuing orders
without legal justification.
Whether Judge Duffey erred by claiming
Windsor did not cite errors of law that would justify
reconsideration on the Court’s orders.
Whether Judge Duffey erred by claiming
Windsor did not cite errors of fact that would justify
reconsideration on the Court’s orders.
Whether Judge Duffey erred by violating
Windsor’s Constitutional rights.
Whether Judge Duffey erred by failing to
report Judge Evans to the appropriate authorities for
violations of the Code of Judicial Conduct.
Whether Judge Duffey erred by failing to
report Plaintiffs’ Attorneys to the appropriate
authorities for violations of the State Bar of Georgia
Rules of Professional Conduct.
Whether Judge Duffey erred by failing to
provide valid legal justification when denying
Motion for Change of Venue.

Wl. STATEMENT OF THE CASE
This 1s an appeal from orders of the United States
District Court, Northern District of Georgia, Case
Number 1:09-CV-01543-WSD: Order entered
September 3, 2009 [R.42.] (Depo-Doc.42)
(“Reconsideration Order’), and Order entered June
30, 2009 (“Quash Order”) [R.32.] (Depo-Doc.32.).
Jointly referenced as the “Appealed Orders,” these
orders contain rulings on quashing a deposition and
denying a change of venue.
A. Statement of the Proceedings Below
On August 29, 2005, Maid initiated civil
action 1:06 CV-0714-ODE (“MIST-1”) in the
Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia, by
filing a Verified Complaint seeking injunctive relief.
It was verified by Glynn. [R.1.] (Doc.1.) ”
On October 12, 2005, A&W filed a Verified
Answer and told the truth; Alcatraz filed a
counterclaim. Windsor signed the Verified Answer
swearing that virtually everything in the Verified
’ Throughout this Brief, the Record Excerpts are referenced
as “R.#.” Please note that there are two records. Two Docket
Sheets are provided (DS1 and DS2). Citations to the record in 1:09-
CV-01543-WSD (DS1) are cited as “Depo-Doc.” Citations to the
record in 1:06-CV-0714-ODE (DS2) are cited as “(Doc.#-Pg.#.)”
“Dec#” is used to refer to the numbered declarations of William M
Windsor. Interested persons are defined on pages i to iv
92
Complaint was false. [R.3.] (Doc.3;Doc.315:Exh.A
Pg.23-9]48-49.) Windsor compiled the proof that the
Verified Complaint was false using the testimony of
the Plaintiffs’ witnesses. (Doc.377;Doc.462.)
On March 20, 2006, Maid filed an “Updated
Brief in Support of Motion for Temporary
Restraining Order” alleging that A&W were
improperly selling Maid vouchers. (Doc.6-Pg.1.)
Maid claimed that A&W had violated the Lanham
Act. (Doc.6-Pg.6.) A&W removed the action to
the U.S. District Court. (Doc.1-Pg.1.)
On March 28, 2006, A&W filed a Response
to Motion for TRO. Windsor told the truth under
oath, swearing that Maid’s claims were false.
(Doc.4.) Windsor compiled the proof that the
Motion was false using the testimony of the
Plaintiffs’ witnesses. (Doc.377;Doc.462.)
On March 29, 2006, the case was assigned to
Judge Evans. (Doc.8.)
On March 30, 2006, Judge Evans established
the erroneous position that what Glynn of Maid said
was true and what Windsor said was false. The
TRO was issued. [R.10.] (Doc.10.) (Doc.361-
Dec#2:Pg.25-4]81;Doc.381-Dec#7:P25-439;
Doc.315;Doc.462.)

On March 30, 2006, A&W filed a motion
with justification for a $400,000 bond. (Doc.11.)
Judge Evans ordered only $5,000. (Doc.10.) This
demonstrated bias. (Doc.462.)
On April 11 and 12, 2006, Judge Evans held
the only evidentiary hearing in this case on Maid’s
request for a preliminary injunction. (Doc.35;
Doc.36; Doc.37.) At the conclusion of the
evidence, Judge Evans informed Maid that they had
seven days to identify a cause of action. (Doc.36-
Pgs.166-167.)
On April 19, 2006, Maid filed a Proposed
Order Granting Preliminary Injunction. This
identified claims of tortious interference and false
advertising as the legal arguments for the hearing a
week before. (Doc.27-Pg.1.)
On May 12, 2006, Judge Evans granted a
preliminary injunction (“PI”) based upon Maid’s
new tortious interference claim. Judge Evans
maintained her position that what Glynn said was
true and what Windsor said was false. Judge Evans
made many false statements in the PI Order. [.33.]
(Doc.33-Pg.1.) Windsor compiled the proof that the
P] Order was false using the testimony of the
Plaintiffs’ witnesses. [R.377.] (Doc.377-Exh.9;
Doc.462.)
94
On January 22, 2007, A&W moved for
summary judgment (“SJ”) on Maid’s tortious
interference claim, and Maid moved for SJ on
tortious interference, attorney fees under
O.C.G.A.§13-6-11, and all Alcatraz counterclaims.
(Doc.146;Doc.148.)
On February 2, 2007, Windsor brought the
hundreds of lies, perjury, and Rule 11 violations of
Maid to the attention of Judge Evans, but she cut
him off in mid-sentence and ignored it. [R.174.]
(Doc. 174-Pgs.34,45-47,25-28.)
On August 9, 2007, Judge Evans granted
Maid’s motion for summary judgment (“SJ Order’)
and denied Alcatraz’s motion. Judge Evans made as
many as 200 false statements in the SJ Order.
[R.251.] (Doc.251.) Windsor compiled the proof
that the SJ Order was false using the testimony of
the Plaintiffs’ witnesses.
(Doc.377_Exh.22;Doc.462.)
On September 7, 2007, Alcatraz appealed the
SJ Order (Appeal No. 07-14214-BB).
On September 10, 2007, Windsor appealed
the SJ Order. (Appeal_ No. 07-14235-BB).
(Doc.254;Doc.256.)
On October 21, 2008, the U.S.C.A. vacated
and remanded the SJ Order in part. (Doc.344.)
95
On October 29, 2008, an order was entered

(Doc.346.)
On December 9, 2008, Judge Evans entered
by consent a “Final Order and Judgment.”
(Doc.354.) A&W did not provide any releases; th
only promise was to not appeal the summary
judgment to the Supreme Court. (Doc.354-Pg.4.)
On April 24, 2009, Windsor began efforts t
get the case reopened and to get Judge Evans

STANDARD OF REVIEW
Windsor ask this Court to consider that the
standard of review should be plain error. The errors
in this case are so fundamental that, absent the
errors, an unbiased judge would have reached a
different result.
A district court's denial of a motion for
reconsideration is reviewed for an abuse of
discretion. (Corwin v. Walt Dinsey Co., 475 F.3d
1239, 1254 (11th Cir. 2007).)
Since plain error has permeated the entire
proceedings due to Judge Duffey’s bias, Judge
Evans’ bias, and the dishonesty of Maid and Maid’s
attorneys, Windsor respectfully proposes t!iat this
Court elect to conduct a de novo review of the entire
record under both its review and supervisory
powers.
Plain-error review involves four prongs.
(United States v. Olano, 507 U.S. 725, 732-736
(1993).) Windsor meets the requirements.
Errors have been made of such a nature that
to leave them uncorrected would result in damage to
the integrity, reputation, and fairness of the judicial
process.
106
ee
vs ARGUMENT AND CITATIONS OF
AUTHORITY
The legal system was structured so that grave
miscarriages of justice, such as the one in this case,
should not happen. Unfortunately, the legal system
and its protections do not exist in the federal courts
in Atlanta, Georgia. Federal judges in Atlanta
routinely violate the law and the rights of litigants
for their own misguided purposes.
Oaths theoretically require honesty. The
federal judges in Atlanta ignore their oaths and the
oaths of others.
The system theoretically provides safeguards
and checks and balances such as Rules 11, 34, 37,
Local Rule 83.1C, Rule 60, 28 U.S.C. 144 and 455
that provide means to call party, attorney, and
judicial dishonesty to the attention of judges. The
federal judges in Atlanta ignore these rules and laws
as they abuse the rights of litigants for their own
improper purposes.
The worst of hardships has resulted from the
dishonesty in this case. A&W have lost
approximately $1,000,000.00, have been saddled
with an injunction that is a violation of Georgia law,
have been defamed, and have lost years of man
hours fighting the injustice. Now others are unfairly
using the erroneous decision in this case in litigation
107
against Alcatraz in efforts to “void” O.C.G.A.43-
4B. To Alcatraz, the financial cost represents years
of pre-tax profits. To Windsor, the financial cost
represents money that this retiree expected to live
on in retirement.
None of this should have happened. The
hardship has been extreme, unexpected, unfair, and
illegal. And it continues.
Maid and Maid’s Attorneys deliberately
planned and carefully executed an unconscionable
scheme to obtain tudgments and injunctions against
A&W, to force A&W to incur significant legal
expenses and to obtain money from A&W.
(Doc.377-Amended Dec#3:Exh.23; Doc.363:
Doc.364-Dec#12.)
Amended Dec#3 and the exhibits thereto
provide proof of the massive dishonesty and bad
faith. [R.377.] (Doc.377-Amended Dec#3:Exhs.1-
28;also-Doc.378-Dec#5;Doc.462.)
When Judge Evans created this action to
cause Judge Duffey to enter the picture, Windsor
felt he would finally get someone to look at the
facts. Sadly, Judge Duffey has quickly proven to be
as dishonest as Judge Evans.
There is no basis for the orders that Judge
Duffey issued in this matter. His orders are filled
108
with lies. The ONLY facts before Judge Duffey
were those provided by Windsor, yet Judge Duffey
managed to invent his own facts so he could rule
against Windsor. There was no legal basis for
Judge Duffey’s orders, so he just lied again and
again to protect his next-door neighbor, Judge
Evans. Judge Duffey and Judge Evans are part of
the corruption that is rampant in the federal court
system in Atlanta, Georgia.
What has happened in this civil action and in
the underlying action is quite simple. Judge Evans
showed pervasive bias, ignored the facts and the
law, and has done everything that she could to cheat
the Defendants. Windsor has proven massive
dishonesty and wrongdoing by the Plaintiffs, their
attorneys, and Judge Evans. Judge Evans is now
trying to cover up her criminal actions, and her
friend, Judge Duffey, has come to her rescue by
issuing the Appealed Orders without factual or legal
support. Judge Duffey 1s committing perjury and
obstruction of justice, and he is relying on the
corruption in the Eleventh Circuit to cover him and
his next-door neighbor, Judge Evans. Judges of the
Eleventh Circuit have proven their own dishonesty
and corruption again and again in these actions.
(See the Appeals in 1:06-CV-0714-ODE, 1:09-CV-
01543-WSD, 1:09-CV-02027-WSD, and the
Complaint of Judicial Misconduct and Judicial
Review Petition filed by Windsor against Judge
Evans with the Judicial Council of the Eleventh
109
Circuit.)
Windsor comes now to appeal the corrupt
actions of Judge Evans and Judge Duffey to a
corrupt group of Eleventh Circuit judges. Windsor
is filing a motion to disqualify all Eleventh Circuit
and Northern District of Georgia judges because
Windsor is convinced that he will never receive a
fair hearing.
Honest judges will reverse and remand the
orders of Judge Duffey if the decision 1s based on
the motions filed, the case law cited, fundamental!
legal rights and obligations, and what the Jaw should
be. [Depo-Doc.2] P1-2;Dec #35 41 1-15.|
A. JUDGE DUFFEY ERRED BY
ALLOWING JUDGE EVANS TO FILE A
MOTION TO QUASH SUBPOENA AND TO
CREATE THIS CIVIL ACTION,
Neither Judge Evans nor Judge Duffey cited
any legal authority for this civil action, the motion
by Judge Evans, or the orders by Judge Duffey.
Windsor cannot find any rule in the FRCP or any
case law to provide a legal basis for a judge to file a
motion to quash in a civil action in which she is
presiding and has been accused of misconduct
The subpoena for Judge Evans’ deposition
was provided and signed by the District Court Clerk
110
in response to a letter from Windsor explaining the
need. Judges have no power to file motions in their
own court. Judges have no power to cause a civil
action to be created without first filing a civil action
Phis “civil action” simply appeared without
explanation. [R.DS1.] [Depo-Doc. 1. |
B. JUDGE DUFFEY ERRED BY
DEMONSTRATING PERVASIVE BIAS
AGAINST WINDSOR.
Judge Duffey does not have a fair or impartial
bone 1n his body when it comes to his fnend, next
door neighbor, and former supervisor, Judge Evans
Judge Duffey’s initial involvement in thi:
matter was to enter an order that made statement:
that improperly favored the position of Judge Evan
| Depo-Doc.15. Dec #29 4 29001.|
lhe Stay Order says: “The subpoena, served
by William M. Windsor, secks Judge Evans
testimony regarding her mental processes and base
for her decisions in the closed case....””. This
language 1s totally inappropriate. [Depo
Doc.15. Dec #29 4 29004.| There was no such
evidence before the Court. |Depo-Doc.15. Dec #29
{ 29005. ]
lhe “closed case” language in the Stay Order
iS also inappropriate. The declarations and motion:
before the Court and in |:06-cv-0714-ODE indicate
that MIST-1] 1s not a “closed case.” | Depo
Doc.15. Dec #29 49 29010
“It follows that the statute grants a similar
right during subsequent phases of the
litigation, when a judge has already decided,
or 1s in the process of deciding, the most
significant issues presented in a case. We
therefore construe section 455(a)'s
‘proceeding"” requirement to embrace only
such activity following the initiation of an
action by a private party or governmental
agency designed ultimately to modify or
affect the substantive nghts of a litigant.’”
(U.S. v. Sciarra, 85) F.2d 621, 635 (1 Ith Cu
1QR8).)
lhe language in the Stay Order regarding the
service of the subpoena was also inaccurate. The
Stay Order says: “Windsor attempted to serve a
deposition subpoena on Judge Evans in her
chambers....”. This, too, is incorrect information
improperly claimed by Mr. Huber. [Depo
Doc.15. Dec #29 4 29023.| The Second
Declaration of Michelle Thornton (“Ms. Thornton’)
attached to Depo-Doc.!5 as Exhibit D explains that
she determined the polite way to deliver the
subpoena to the receptionist after consulting with
the U.S. Marshal Service. Ms. Thornton did not go
near the chambers of Judge vans. (exhibit D to
Depo Doc.15.) | Depo Doc.‘ Dec 429 ¥ 290274 |
}
[he pervasive bias continued. Judge
Dulfey's next act of bias was to declare Windsor
“scurrilous and irresponsible” based SOLELY on
Windsor’s testimony. [R.32.] (Depo-Doc.32.)
W mndsor does not believe there Cal) he any hy tel
proof of extrajudicial bias than having Judge Dutt
make such a statement when he had no facts before
him to indicate anything negative about Windsor
Neither the Plaintiffs’ Attorneys nor Judpe levan
have filed any affidavits in 2009. [R.DS1. |
IR .DS2.] So, Judge Dullfey decided Windsor wa
‘scurmlous and irresponsible because he charged
ludge vans with misconduct and criminal
violations. This is bias against Windsor and
prejudice for federal judge Phis as extrajudicial
bias, and it has been pervasive
C. JUDGE DUFFEY ERRED
BY MAKING FALSE STATEMENTS IN
ORDERS
ludge Dulfey’s Reconsideration Order falsely
SAYS
“Windsor also has not demonstrated that there
is any nced to correct a Clear error of law o1
fact. In fact. Windsor does not cite any case
or Statutes to support his conclusory
allegations. Windsor simply rehashes the
arguments he made both before Judge Evans
and this Court. He cites to over a dozen of his
declarations and other filings as “legal
support” for his motion for reconsideration. A
review of these documents reveals that they
simply express Windsor’s disagreement with
Judge Evans’ rulings (which were affirmed
on appeal) and the Court’s June 30 Order.
This disagreement is not an appropriate
ground for reconsideration.”
Judge Duffey’s claims are false and
dishonest.
Windsor compared his Response to the
Motion to Quash and his Motion for
Reconsideration to prove this false statement by
Judge Duffey. [Depo-Docs.21,24,34.] There were
117 paragraphs in the Response to Emergency
Motion to Quash Subpoena [Depo-Doc.21], 55
paragraphs in the Response to Motion to
Supplement Emergency Motion to Quash Subpoena
{Depo-Doc.24], and 36 paragraphs in the Motion for
Reconsideration [Depo-Doc.34]. The 36 paragraphs
constitute just 21% of what was in the prior
responses. Of the 36, 23 paragraphs are new; eight
(8) paragraphs are responses to issues raised by the
orders that required some previous information to be
repeated and emphasized (two of the eight
paragraphs summarized what had been expressed in
114
46 paragraphs in the responses); three (3)
paragraphs were repeated; and two (2) paragraphs
were changed slightly to update them. If Windsor
admits that five pages are essentially repeated, this
means only 3% of the Motion for Reconsideration
could be even remotely characterized as a “rehash,”
and after all, it is a motion to reconsider what had
been previously discussed. Only two (2) paragraphs
(paragraphs 2 and 23) repeat arguments presented to
Judge Evans.
Windsor has therefore proven that Judge
Duffey’s statement that Windsor “simply rehashes
the arguments he made both before Judge Evans and
this Court” is false and dishonest. Windsor finds
this typical of the dishonesty of the federal judges in
Atlanta, Georgia. Federal judges in Atlanta
routinely make false statements to avoid dealing
with the facts and the law to accomplish their own
improper purposes.
D. JUDGE DUFFEY ERRED BY
ENCOURAGING PERJURY, SUBORNATION
OF PERJURY, RULE 11 VIOLATIONS,
OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, DISHONEST
PARTIES, DISHONEST ATTORNEYS, AND
DISHONEST JUDGES.
Judge Duffey ignored Windsor’s
uncontroverted proof of massive dishonesty in
MIST-1.
Judge William S. Duffey, Judge Orinda D.
Evans, Judge R. Lanier Anderson. Judge Rosemary
Barkett, Judge Stanley F. Birch, Judge Susan H.
Black, Judge Blackburn, Judge Ed Carnes, Judge
Conway, Judge Joel F. Dubina, Judge J.L.
Edmondson, Judge Peter T. Fay. Judge Fuller, Judge
John C. Godbold, Judge Granade, Judge James C.
Hill, Judge Frank M. Hull, Judge Phyllis A.
Kravitch, Judge Stanley Marcus, Judge Mickle,
Judge Moore, Judge William H. Pryor, Judge Royal,
Judge Gerald Bard Tjoflat, and Judge Charles R.
Wilson have all ignored the dishonesty in this
matter. Their actions support perjury, subornation
of perjury, Rule 11 violations, obstruction of justice,
dishonest parties, dishonest attorneys, and corrupt
judges.
EK. JUDGE DUFFEY ERRED BY MAKING
FACT DECISIONS THAT WERE CONTRARY
TO THE FACTS THAT WERE BEFORE THE
COURT.
Judges, just like jurors, are obligated to deal
with only the facts presented to them for
consideration. Judges and jurors are not allowed to
let their personal prejudices replace or affect the
facts, but Judge Duffey did.
The only facts before Judge Duffey in this
Civil Action are contained in the declarations of
116
Wiliam M. Windsor. [R.DS1.] [R.DS2.] Judge
Duffey erred by making fact statements that were
not facts presented by Windsor.
There were no affidavits presented by any
other parties, as is required by Local Rule 7.1 A.(1).
Therefore, every statement made by Judge Duffey
that 1s not cited to a Windsor declaration or
expressed as law or case law is improper.
Judge Duffey made various statements that
seem to purport to be facts in the Appealed Order,
but these statements must not be considered.
Neither Judge Evans nor Plaintiffs filed any
affidavits in 2009. Windsor’s fact statements have
not been controverted. That’s because they are true.
This Court must not accept that what Judge
Duffey writes is true. Proof of this is provided in
Depo-Docs.4,32,42,6,13,15,17,20,21,24,34,36. (See
also R.377;Doc.377;R.390;Doc.390;Doc.462.)
Fk. JUDGE DUFFEY ERRED BY
COMMITTING PERJURY.
Judge Duffey has made false statements, and
this is perjury. Judge Duffey knew statements he
has made in his orders are false. He made them
while under his oath as a federal judge and as a
member of the State Bar of Georgia. He made the
statements intentionally for the purpose of
perverting the legal system and covering up for his
next-door neighbor, Judge Evans.
This Court should ask the U.S. Attorney to
have a grand jury consider perjury and obstruction
of justice charges against Judge Duffey and Judge
Evans.
G. JUDGE DUFFEY ERRED
BY ISSUING ORDERS WITHOUT LEGAL
JUSTIFICATION.
Judge Duffey did not have legal justification
for issuing the Quash Order (Depo-Doc.32) or the
Reconsideration Order (Depo-Doc.42.).
Judge Duffey had no legal authority for this
civil action, the motion by Judge Evans, or the
orders issues. (F< P.) There is no rule or case law
to provide a legal basis for a judge to file a motion
to quash in a civil action in which she is presiding
and has been accused of misconduct. So, there is no
118
rule or case law to permit another judge to rule on
such a motion.
Judge Duffey ignored the facts and the law in
the Motion for Reconsideration, and Judge Duffey’s
failure to address the legal issues raised had no legal
justification and was an abuse of discretion. (Depo-
Doc.34,42.)
H. JUDGE DUFFEY ERRED BY
CLAIMING WINDSOR DID NOT CITE
ERRORS OF LAW AS CRITERIA THAT
WOULD JUSTIFY RECONSIDERATION
OF THE QUASH ORDER.
Windsor provided a lengthy list of motions,
responses, and declarations as legal support for the
Motion for Reconsideration. (Depo-Doc.34 42.)
Contrary to the claims of Judge Duffey, these
motions and responses cited various laws and case
law. The declarations provided factual support for
that law.
Judge Duffey dismissed consideration of the
Motion for Reconsideration with the patented
dishonest judicial response “simply expressing
disagreement with rulings.”
Judge Duffey speaks of Judge Evans’ rulings
and affirmation on appeal as if these were rulings
that enyone should give any credence to. They were
119
frauds. Judge Duffey conveniently ignores all of the
proof. The only facts before Judge Duffey and this
Court are that those rulings were perjury and fraud
upon the courts.
Windsor did specify errors of law and fact
made by Judge Duffey in his previous decision.
Windsor did not rehash in the Motion for
Reconsideration the arguments he had previously
presented as he addressed 15 specific errors of law
and fact. When a judge fails to address the errors of
law and fact expressed in a motion, the order must
be reversed and remanded.
Judge Duffey’s Reconsideration Order
(Depo-Doc.42_ P2) stated that “A motion for
reconsideration is appropriate where there is...a
need to correct a clear error of law or fact.”
Windsor expressed nine errors of law in the
Motion for Reconsideration (Depo-Doc.34). These
were not addressed by Judge Duffey in tlie
Reconsideration Order (R.42;Depo-Doc.42):
ERROR OF LAW 41: Judge Duffey failed to
address that Windsor argued that the Appealed
Orders violate the Constitution as the Deposition
is vital to Windsor’s legal and Constitutional
rights.
120
Judge Duffey’s position 1s that Windsor is not
equal, that Windsor’s rights are inferior to the
“supremacy” of a federal judgeship. [Depo-
Doc.21 Dec #35 965-67.] This Court must reject
the attempt to claim that Windsor has no rights.
[Depo-Doc.21 Dec #35 468.]
Judges must be subject to deposition when
the testimony of the judge is necessary to prevent
injustice to the party requesting it. Judges must be
subject to deposition when the judges have violated
the law. Judges must be subject to deposition when
they and only they have the information needed.
[Depo-Doc.21 Dec #35 9]69-72.]
Judge Evans violated her oath repeatedly.
[Depo-Doc.21 Dec_#35 473-74.] Judge Evans was
totally biased, and this violates the Constitution.
“The neutrality requirement helps to
guarantee that life, liberty, or property will
not be taken on the basis of an erroneous or
distorted conception of the facts or the law.
See Mathews vy. Eldridge, 424 U.S. 319, 344
(1976)..., by ensuring that no person will be
deprived of his interests in the absence of a
proceeding in which he may present his case
with assurance that the arbiter is not
predisposed to find against him.” (Marshall
v. Jerrico Inc., 446 US 238, 242, 100 S.Ct.
1610, 64 L. Ed. 2d 182 (1980).)
121
"... courts, have a constitutional obligation to
safeguard personal liberties and to uphold
federal law." (Stone v Powell, 428 US 465,
483 n. 35, 96 S. Ct. 3037, 49 L. Ed. 2d .067
(1976).)
Denying the Defendants access to important
records, evidence, and witnesses is a violation of
Equal Protection. [Depo-Doc.21_Dec_#35 475.|
Judge Evans violated the Defendants’ civil
and constitutional rights under color of law. [Depo-
Doc.21 Dec #35 4$76.]
“The Due Process Clause serves two
purposes...One 1s to produce, through the use
of fair procedures to prevent the wrongful
deprivation of interests; ...the other is a
guarantee of basic fairness, i.e.: to make
people feel that they have been treated fairly.”
“(t|rial before an ‘unbiased judge’ is essential
to due process.” Johnson v. Mississippi, 403
U.S. 212, 216 (1971); accord Concrete Pipe
& Prods. V. Constr. Laborers Pension Trust,
508 U.S. 602, 617 (1993) “due process
requires a neutral and detached judge in the
first instance.” (citation omitted)
122
“justice must give the appearance of justice”
Levine v. United States, 362 U.S. 610, 80
S.Ct. 1038 (1960), citing Offutt v. United
States, 348 U.S. 11, 14, 75 S. Ct. 11, 13
(1954).
“even if there is now showing of actual bias”,
“due process is denied by circumstances that
create the likelihood or the appearance if
bias” Peters v. Kiff, 407, U.S. 493, 502
(1972).
Windsor believes that the Defendants have
not been given a fair trial and cannot have a fair
hearing of any type due to the issues alleged.
|Depo-Doc.21 Dec #35 9$77.]
The due process clauses of both the Georgia
and the United States Constitutions guarantee a
party an impartial and disinterested tribunal in civil
cases. Marshall v. Jerrico, Inc., 446 U.S. 238, 242,
100 S.Ct. 1610, 1613 (1980).
"... the particular phraseology of the
constitution of the United States confirms and
strengthens the principle, supposed to be
essential to all written constitutions, that a
law repugnant to the constitution is void, and
that courts, as well as other departments, are
bound by that instrument." "In declaring
what shall be the supreme law of the land, the
123
Constitution itself is first mentioned; and not
the laws of the United States generally, but
those only which shall be made in pursuance
of the Constitution, have that rank". "All law
(rules and practices) which are repugnant to
the Constitution are VOID". Since the 14th
Amendment to the Constitution states "NO
State (Jurisdiction) shall make or enforce any
law which shall abridge the rights, privileges,
or immunities of citizens of the United States
nor deprive any citizens of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law, ... or
equal protection under the law", this renders
judicial immunity unconstitutional. Marbury
v. Madison, 5 U.S. (2 Cranch) 137, 180
(1803).
The Ninth Amendment to the United States
Constitution states, ““The enumeration in the
Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed
to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”
The extent of those rights was detailed in
Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479, 484 (1965)
in Justice Goldberg’s concurrence:
While the Ninth Amendment——and indeed the
entire Bill of Rights—originally concerned
restrictions upon federal power, — the
subsequently enacted Fourteenth Amendment
prohibits the States as well from abridging
124
fundamental personal liberties. And, the
Ninth Amendment, in indicating that not all
such liberties are specifically mentioned tn
the first eight amendments, is surely relevant
in showing the existence of other fundamental
personal rights, now protected from state, as
well as federal, infringement. In sum, the
Ninth Amendment simply lends — strong
support to the view that the ‘liberty’ protected
by the Fifth And Fourteenth Amendments
from infringement by the Federal
Government or the States is not restricted to
rights specifically mentioned 1n the first eight
amendments.
[his deposition is extremely important
because Windsor has motions pending vans in 1 :06-
CV-0714-ODE that require the testimony of Judge
Evans for Windsor to have the best opportunity for
success. Windsor has accused Judge Evans of
participating with the Plaintifis and their attorneys in
perpetrating a fraud upon the court in 1:06-CV-0714-
ODE. [Depo-Doc.21 Dec #35 480-81.| Denying
Windsor the ability to take Judge Evans’ deposition
deprives Windsor of his Constitutional right to
obtain the information that he needs to get the
orders and judgment set aside in MIST-1.
Windsor also submits that it 1s a violation of
his Constitutional and civil rights to be required to
prove extrajudicial bias without being afforded the
125
opportunity to question Judge Evans in a deposition
Only Judge Evans knows the source of her
extramdicial bias, and Windsor must be given the
opportunity to depose Judge Evans to obtain the
discovery needed. Absent the ability to pursue
discovery regarding the nature of the extrajudicial
bias, Windsor has been wrongly denied the ability to
have Judge Evans disqualified as the Eleventh
Circuit denied appeal because Windsor could not
prove extrajudicial bias. [Depo
Doc.21 Dec #35 482.]
ERROR OF LAW #2: Judge Duffey failed to
address that Windsor argued that the case law
cited by Judge Duffey is not applicable to this
matter. The Quash Order and thus the
Reconsideration Order are not supported by any
case law.
Judge Duffey incorrectly claims: “The
attempt to now depose Judge Evans...is expressly
prohibited by long-standing case law.” Judge
Duffey then proceeded to recite the cases used by
the U.S. Attorney representing Judge Evans. As
Windsor noted in Depo-Doc.21,24, none of these
cases are applicable in this case as they all related
only to depositions regarding a judge’s mental
processes. [Depo-Doc.21 Dec #35 997-98. |
|Depo-Doc.24 Dec #34 420-50. |
2% U.S.C. § 604 provides the legal authority
for taking the depositions of judges. Section 4(b)()
of the Subpoena Regulations Adopted by Judicial
Conference (“Subpoena Regulations”) provides that
restrictions on depositions by judges do not apply to
“Lepal proceedings, arising out of the performance
of official duties by federal pudicial personnel, in
which federal judicial personnel are parties.” As
Judge Evans was named a “party” in the fraud upon
the court in MIST-1, the Subpoena Regulations
If the Subpoena Regulations did apply,
Windsor has made it crystal clear that he does not
seck to depose Judge Evans as to her “mental
processes.” If Judge Duffey wanted to quash this
subpoena on the basis that no one may take the
deposition of a judge who has violated the law and
committed fraud upon the court, Windsor asked that
Judge Duffey cite those cases. Judge Duffey did not
cite any cases. Windsor’s study of law indicates
that judges most definitely can be subpoenaed for
depositions in situations such as this. [Depo
Doc.34 Dec #37 §24.|
ERROR OF LAW #3: Judge Duffey failed to
address that Windsor argued that the Court
must compel Judge Evans’ testimony as required
by law due to the presence of extreme and
extraordinary circumstances in the form of bad
and improper behavior,
Judge Duffey did note that “Courts will
consider compelling judicial testimony in the
presence of extreme and extraordinary
circumstances such as a strong showing of bad faith
or improper behavior.” [Depo-Doc.32_
P6 last two sentences.] [Depo-Doc.34 Dec
#37 425.]
Judge Duffey then falsely and irresponsibly
claimed that Windsor did not show “extreme and
extraordinary circumstances.” [Depo-Doc.34 Dec
#37 426.]
Windsor is quite sure that the citizens of the
United States will be upset to learn that the
following represents “ordinary” circumstances that
our courts should not be concerned with:
e A judge that committed perjury as
many as 200 times in claiming facts in
orders of the court that were absolutely
false as proven by the evidence before
the court.
e Plaintiffs who committed perjury over
400 times.
e Attorneys for the Plaintiffs who filed
false sworn pleadings routinely,
committed hundreds of counts of
perjury, subornation of perjury, and
obstruction of justice, and violated
numerous laws, Rules, and the Code of
128
Professional Conduct. [Depo-
Doc.34 Dec #37 §27.]
There was no justice in this case. The laws of
Georgia and the United States and the Federal Rules
of Civil Procedure provide legal remedies to parties
so abused. By issuing the Appealed Orders, Judge
Duffey is violating Windsor’s legal and
Constitutional rights. Judge Duffey is denying
Windsor the ability to obtain the information that he
needs to be able to have the judgment and orders in
Civil Action No. 1:06-CV-0714-ODE voided due to
perjury and fraud upon the court. Judge Duffey is
denying Windsor the ability to obtain the
information that he needs to ensure that Judge
Evans is disqualified. [Depo-Doc.34_Dec
#37 928.]
ERROR OF LAW #4: Judge Duffey failed to
address that Windsor argued that he had
complied with legal requirements of the Federal
Judiciary’s Subpoena Regulations.
In the Quash Order, Judge Duffey claimed
Windsor failed to comply with the requirements of
the Subpoena Regulations. This was false. In the
Response to the Motion to Quash (Depo-
Doc.21,24), Windsor addressed each of these legal
issues and documented exactly what was done.
{[Depo-Doc.21 P11-15 Dec #35 4§41-64.] In the
Response to the Motion to Quash, Windsor again
125
addressed each of these legal issues and documented
exactly what was done. Windsor used the published
information of the Judicial Conference as the guide
for issuing the subpoena for the deposition.
Windsor met all of the regulations to allow this
deposition to move forward, and there is no
admissible evidence before this Court to the
contrary. [Depo-Doc.34 Dec #37 437.] Judge
Duffey failed to address this in the Reconsideration
Order. [Depo-Doc.42.]
The Eighth Declaration of Defendant William
M. Windsor in Support of Motion to Recuse Judge
Evans (“Dec #8°-Doc.383) was prepared in response
to the “Subpoena Regulations Adopted by Judicial
Conference.” Windsor later prepared the Twenty-
Third Declaration of William M. Windsor (“Dec
#23” -- Evans Docket #406—R.406). Dec #23 is
even more specific in setting forth the testimony that
is being sought from Judge Evans. It explains the
relevance of the testimony, the reasons testimony is
sought, and why the information is not available
from other sources or by other means. [Depo-
Doc.21 Dec #35 §96.]
The nature of the testimony sought is
appropriate. The testimony is necessary to prevent
the perpetration of fraud or injustice in this case.
The request is not unduly burdensome and is
inappropriate under applicable court or
administrative rules. The request has proper
130
authority. The subpoena was issued by the Clerk of
the Court as is required for pro se defendants.
[Depo-Doc.21 Dec #35 §41-44.]
This request was properly served. As the
request for testimony was to be provided to the
federal judicial personnel from whom testimony is
sought at least fifteen (15) working days in advance
of the time by which the testimony was to be
required, Windsor provided the subpoena to Judge
Evans on May 20, 2009 with a proposed deposition
date of June 16, 2009. This was timely. Windsor
sent a letter to Judge Evans asking for a convenient
time for the deposition, and he did not receive a
response. This letter is to Exhibit #1to Dec #35.
[Depo-Doc.2! Dec #35 446.]
The testimony would not violate a statute,
regulation, or ethical rule. [Depo-
Doc.21_Dec_#35_447.]
The testimony would not disclose
confidential information from or pertaining to a
presentence investigation report or pertaining to an
individual’s probation, parole, or supervised release,
or would disclose any other information that is
confidential under any applicable statute or
regulation. [Depo-Doc.21 Dec #35 448.]
The testimony could not be reasonably
expected to result in the appearance of the federal
131
judiciary favoring one litigant over another, or
endorsing or supporting a position advocated by a
litigant. The purpose of this deposition is to obtain
information because of the appearance that Judge
Evans favored the Plaintiffs over the Defendants.
[Depo-Doc.21 Dec #35 449.]
This request does not seek testimony of Judge
Evans as an expert witness. [Depo-
Doc.21_ Dec_#35 951.]
This request does not seek personnel files,
records or documents pertaining to a current/former
federal judicial officer or employee. [Depo-
Doc.21 Dec #35 452.]
Windsor is seeking this deposition to prove
that documents withheld from A&W by Judge
Evans were due to fraud upon the court by the
Plaintiffs or obstruction of justice or ae by
Judge Evans. [Depo-Doc.21 Dec #35 953.)
Windsor ts seeking this gone for proper
reasons. [Depo-Doc.21_Dec_#35_ 454.]
The testimony sought is not available from
any other source or by any other means. Judge
Evans is the only person who reviewed the
documents in camera and the only person who
knows why she was so biased. [Depo-
Doc.21 Dec #35 955.]
The effect of this deposition in this particular
case should be to lead to recusal of Judge Evans and
reopening of 1:06-CV-0714-ODE so that justice
may be done. [Depo-Doc.21 Dec #35 456.]
Windsor is seeking this deposition in his
efforts to reopen 1:06-CV-0714-ODE. [Depo-
Doc.21 Dec #35 958.]
Windsor is seeking this deposition 1m his
efforts to have Judge Evans recused or disqualified.
[Depo-Doc.21 Dec _#35 459.]
Windsor is seeking this deposition in his
efforts to have Glynn, Ruddy, and Schul found
guilty of perjury. Guilty verdicts igainst Plaintiffs’
managers should enable Windsor to have the
judgment and orders in this case set aside. [Depo-
Doc.21 Dec #35 460.]
Windsor is seeking to have Plaintiffs’
Attorneys found guilty of suborning perjury,
obstruction of justice, and other charges. [Depo-
Doc.21 Dec #35 461.]
Windsor would like to ask Judge Evans about
facts. There is no deliberative process in facts used
for a summary judgment, and Windsor alleges that
as many as 210 of the statements in the Summary
Judgment Order are false. [Depo-
133
Doc.21 Dec #35 462.]
Windsor seeks information required for his
motions to recuse Judge Evans, set aside the
judgment and orders, and pursue charges against the
Plaintiffs, the Plaintiffs’ attorneys, and Judge Evans
Windsor has accused Judge Evans of violating the
law. [Depo-Doc.21 Dec #35 463.]
Windsor agreed that Judge Evans did not
have to answer any questions that sought to inquire
into her mental processes in this case. If necessary,
Windsor stated he would present a list of questions
under seal for the Court to review in camera.
{[Depo-Doc.21_ Dec #35 §64;Depo-Doc.34 Dec
#37 438.]
ERROR OF LAW #5: Judge Duffey failed to
address that Windsor argued that this
proceeding is not closed; the subpoena is valid;
and the subpoena should not be quashed on that
basis. Judge Duffey recited cases submitted by
the U.S. Attorney, none of which pertain to the
facts in this matter. Judge Duffey ruled motions
moot on the basis that “a case the Court already
has noted has been appealed, affirmed, and
which is over and closed.”
The subpoena was validly issued and served.
There were proceedings in this Civil Action and in
Civil Action No. 1:06-CV-0714-ODE, inciuding a
134
Second Motion to Recuse. [Depo-
Doc.21 Dec #35 485.]
A Final Order was issued in this case in
December 200% vased upon a settlement most
reluctantly agreed to by the Defendants. That
settlement did not include a release in favor of the
Plaintiffs. The Defendants settled based upon fear
of what Judge Evans would wrongfully do to them
next. The Defendants did not agree that they would
take no further action in this or related matters.
{[Depo-Doc.21 Dec #35 487.]
“Proceedings” do not necessarily end after a
Final Order is entered. Specifically, the Defendants
have the legal right to pursue actions under FRCP
Rule 60, under various Georgia statutes, under
Local Rule 83.1C and 83.1 F(2), under the Court’s
inherent powers, and probably under other rules and
statutes. [Depo-Doc.21 Dec #35 488.]
Judge Evans issued an order on May 22, 2009
that noted that the Defendants agreed to not appeal
the Final Order. This is true, but the Defendants did
not give up any rights as there was nothing to
appeal. [Depo-Doc.2] Dec #35 $89.]
Exhibit 3 to Dec_#35 includes many
definitions of an “appeal” as “a proceeding for
review at a higher court.” There is no higher court
135
involved with Windsor’s motions, so none of this is
an appeal. [Depo-Doc.21_ Dec #35 490.]
Subpoenas and discovery are permissible
whenever a “proceeding” is pending. Windsor’s
motions create a “proceeding.” [Depo-
Doc.21_Dec_#35 491.]
Under 28 U.S.C. § 455(a), a district judge
must recuse himself "in any proceeding in which his
impartiality might reasonably be questioned."
“We note that section 455(d)(1) defines
"proceeding" to include "pre-trial, trial,
appellate review, or other stages of litigation.
U.S. v. Sciarra, 851 F.2d 621, 635 (11th Cir.
1988). It "confers a right upon the litigant to
seek recusal [during]... . phases [*3] of the
litigation." Jd.
“Each of the statutory examples of a
proceeding implies the judge's participation in
decisions affecting the substantive rights of litigants
to an actual case or controversy.” A pending action
is any action in which the rights of the petitioners
are at issue. The rights of Windsor are at issue in
the motions that are filed in the instant case. |Depo-
Doc.21_ Dec_ #35 $92.]
Mr. Huber claims the subpoena was untimely.
Mr. Huber distorted reality by claiming a subpoena
136
should generally be quashed when it is served after
the close of discovery. There are many occasions
that necessitate the use of a subpoena after
discovery has closed. In fact, in MIST-1, two
depositions were taken after discovery closed. It is
also clear that there are occasions where a subpoena
is appropriate after a Final Order has been issued.
[Depo-Doc.21 Dec #35 493.]
ERROR OF LAW #6: Judge Duffey failed to
address that Windsor argued that the appealed
order should be reversed as Judge Duffey did not
enforce the Rules.
Windsor objected to the Motion to Quash and
pleaded that the Motion to Quash should be denied
on procedural grounds. [Depo-
Doc.21 Dec #35 4107.]
First, neither the Motion nor the
Memorandum of Law in support of the Motion were
supported by affidavit, yet the Memorandum of Law
attempts to present facts for the consideration of this
Court. [Depo-Doc.2]1 Dec #35 4108.]
Second, Mr. Huber failed to meet the
requirements of Local Rule 7.2B: [Depo-
Doc.21 Dec #35 §109.]
Third, Mr. Huber violated Rule 11 of the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Mr. Huber filed
137
false pleadings. Mr. Huber violated Local Rule
83.1C. Mr. Huber also violated Rule 3.3 of the
State Bar of Georgia Code of Professional Conduct
by failing to show candor to the tribunal. Mr. Huber
also violated Rule 3.3 of the State Bar of Georgia
Code of Professional Conduct by failing to show
fairness to the opposing party. [Depo-
Doc.21_ Dec #35 ¥110.]
Fourth, Mr. Huber contacted Mr. Carl Hugo
Anderson (“Mr. Anderson”), Plaintiffs’ attorney, to
encourage him to file a motion in support of Judge
Evans’ position in this matter. Since Mr. Huber is
an agent of the judge, Windsor submits that this is
an improper ex parte communication between Judge
Evans and the Plaintiffs’ attorney, Mr. Anderson.
[Depo-Doc.21 Dec_#35 4111.]
Fifth, Mr. Huber violated Rule | 1(a): “The
paper must state the signer's address, e-mail address,
and telephone number.” [Depo-
Doc.2] Dec #35 4J112.]
These procedural issues were raised in the
Motion for Reconsideration. [Depo-Doc.34. |
Complete details are provided therein and in the
Twenty-Ninth Declaration of William M. Windsor

Judge Duffey violated Local Rule 7.1 C of
the Local Civil Rules for the United States District
Court for the Northern District of Georgia. “When
the movant deems it necessary to file a reply brief,
the reply must be served not later than ten (10) days
after service of the responsive pleading.” Judge
Duffey issued the Quash Order on June 30, 2009.
Windsor planned to file Reply briefs, but Windsor
was improperly denied the time allowed by the
Local Rules to reply to Depo-Doc. #27 filed June
25, 2009; Depo-Doc. #28 and Depo-Doc. #29 filed
June 26, 2009, and Depo-Doc. #30 and 31 filed June
29, 2009. The Reconsideration Order should be
reversed and remanded due to Judge Duffey’s
violation of the Local Rules. [Depo-Doc.34 Dec
#37 913.] Judge Duffey ignored these violations.
“Proceedings” do not necessarily end after a
Final Order is entered. Specifically, the Defendants
have the legal right to pursue actions under FRCP
Rule 60, under various Georgia statutes, under
Local Rule 83.1C and 83.1 F(2), under the Court’s
inherent powers, and probably under other rules and
statutes. [Depo-Doc.34 Dec #37 439.]
The Motion to Quash should have been
denied on procedural grounds. Judge Duffey was
obligated to enforce the law and the Rules, and by
ignoring these procedural deficiencies, Judge
Duffey ignored his responsibilities. [Depo-
Doc.34 Dec #37 940.}
139
ERROR OF LAW #7: Judge Duffey failed to
address that Windsor argued that this is first and
foremost a question of the most basic legal rights.
Judge Duffey did not rule on the basis of the
motion filed, the case law cited, fundamental
legal rights and obligations, and what the law
should be.
This ts first and foremost a question of the
most basic legal rights. Judge Duffey failed to
address this error of law. This Court must reverse
and remand the orders of Judge Duffey if the
decision is based on the motions filed, the case law
cited, fundamental legal rights and obligations, and
what the law should be. [Depo-Doc.21 P1-2;Dec

ERROR OF LAW #8: Judge Duffey failed to
address that Windsor argued that Judge Duffey
has violated Canons 1, 2, 3, 3D(1), 3D(2) of the
Code of Judicial Conduct.
Windsor submits that Judge Duffey has
violated Canon | of the Code of Judicial Conduct -
Judges Shall Uphold the Integrity and Independence
of the Judiciary. Judges shall not show favoritism.
The rulings of Judge Duffey show definite
favoritism for a fellow judge. [Depo-Doc.34 Dec

Judges Shall Avoid Impropriety and the Appearance
of Impropriety. Judges shall respect and comply
with the law. Judges shall promote public
confidence in the integrity of the judiciary. Judpes
shall promote public confidence in the impartiality
of the judiciary. The rulings of Judge Duffey show
definite favoritism for a fellow judge. This ruling
does not promote public confidence in the integrity
of the judiciary. The ruling of Judge Duffey sends a
message that itis okay for parties, attorneys, and
judges to violate the Rules, Codes, and laws
repeatedly in their efforts to pervert the legal
process. Judge Duffey’s ruling sanctions lying and
committing perjury in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of Georgia, | Depo

Windsor submits that Judge Dulley has
violated Canon 3 of the Code of Judicial Conduct
Judges Shall Perform the Duties of Their Office
Impartially and Diligently. Judges should be
faithful to the law. Judges shall perform judicial
duties without bias or prejudice. Judges shall
accord to every person the right to be heard
according to law. The rulings of Judge Duffey
show definite favoritism for a fellow judge. Judge
Duffey has ignored the law and has denied Windsor
the night to be heard. Judge Duffey did not respond
14)
to a single thing that Windsor presented in his
motions. [Depo-Doc.34 Dee #37 443.]
Windsor submits that Judge Duffey has
violated Canon 3D.(1) of the Code of Judicial
Conduct -- Judges who receive information
indicating a substantial likelihood that another judge
has committed a violation of this Code should take
appropriate action. Judge Evans has committed
hundreds of violations of the Code of Judicial
Conduct. Rather than pretend nothing improper
happened, Judge Duffey has a legal obligation to
take action against Judge Evans. [Depo-
Doc.34 Dec #37 944.]
Windsor submits that Judge Duffey has
violated Canon 3D.(2) of the Code of Judicial
Conduct -- Judges who receive information
indicating a substantial likelihood that a lawyer has
committed a violation of the Standards of Conduct
of the State Bar of Georgia should take appropriate
action. Judges having knowledge that a lawyer has
committed a violation of the Standards of Conduct
of the State Bar of Georgia that raises a substantial
question as to the lawyer's honesty, trustworthiness
or fiiness as a lawyer in other respects shall inform
the appropriate authority. Rather than ignore what
has happened, Judge Duffey has a legal obligation
to take action against Plaintiffs’ Attorneys. [Depo-
Doc.34_ Dec #37 _445.]
142
ERROR OF LAW #9: Judge Duffey failed to
address that Windsor argued for extending,
modifying, or reversing existing law or
establishing new law.
Windsor must also argue for extending,
modifying, or reversing existing law or for
establishing new law, if necessary. [Depo-
Doc.21_ Dec_#35_4102.]
There is no case law with facts that even
come close to the facts in this case. Windsor
submits that all case law must be ignored. [Depo-
Doc.21 Dec #35 $103.]
The whole idea of justice requires a fair trial
with an impartial judge. [Depo-
Doc.21 Dec #35 4104.]
In extreme circumstances such as this where
it appears that the judge was not impartial, made
errors of law, made errors with facts, allowed
perjury to pervert the legal process, the losing party
should be allowed to take the Judge’s deposition in
its efforts to recuse the judge and seek to reopen the
case or get the judgment and orders set aside due to
perjury. [Depo-Doc.21 Dec #35 4105.]
When the judge is so obviously biased that
the judge ignores the facts and the law, invents facts
that do not exist in the record, completely ignores
143
charges of hundreds of counts of peryury and
suborning perjury, ignores the laws regarding
summary judgments, consistently violates its own
rulings to favor of the Plaintiffs, has extensive ex
parte dealings with the Plaintiffs’ attorneys, and
does the many other things that Judge Evans has
done, it really shouldn’t matter where the bias
comes from. In a case such as this, it was absolutely
impossible for the Defendants to have a fair trial. In
a case such as this, the Defendants should be
allowed to depose the judge to try to determine what

I. JUDGE DUFFEY ERRED BY
CLAIMING WINDSOR DID NOT CITE
ERRORS OF FACT AS CRITERIA THAT
WOULD JUSTIFY RECONSIDERATION OF
THE COURT’S ORDER.
Windsor expressed six errors of fact. These
were not addressed by Judge Duffey in the
Reconsideration Order.
Judge Duffey stated that errors of fact are a
reason for reconsideration of a motion. Then he
falsely claimed that Windsor cited no errors of fact.
This should be considered perjury. The orders must
be reversed and remanded.
ERROR OF FACT #1: One of the primary
errors of fact that Windsor made in the Metion
144
for Reconsideration is that Judge Duffey falsely
and maliciously branded Windsor as
“SCURRILOUS AND IRRESPONSIBLE.”
One of the primary points that Windsor made
in the Motion for Reconsideration is that Judge
Duffey falsely and maliciously branded Windsor as
“SCURRILOUS AND IRRESPONSIBLE.”
[Depo.Doc.34.]
This Court has the audacity to declare in the
public record that Windsor’s statements are
“scurrilous and irresponsible....” [Depo-Doc. #32 -
- Opinion and Order, P 5 42.| | Depo-Doc.34 Dec
#37 416.)
This is an outrage. Scurrilous is defined as
using coarse language, vuigar, evil, containing
obscenities, foul-mouthed. [Depo-Doc.34 Dec
#37 916 and Exhibit A.] Windsor has not used
any coarse language, nothing vulgar or evil, has
uttered no obscenities in filings with this Court, and
has not been foul-mouthed 1n the presence of this
Court. |Depo-Doc.34 Dec #37 417.]
Irresponsible is defined as a lack of
responsibility, not mentally or financially fit to
assume responsibility, not answerable to a higher
authority, unreliable, shiftless, untrustworthy,
careless. [Depo-Doc.34 Dec #37 §17 and Exhibit
B.| Windsor has not been the least bit irresponsible
145
in this matter. Windsor is mentally and financially
fit, is answerable to several higher authorities, is
reliable, 1s trustworthy, is not careless, and is
anything but shiftless. [Depo-Doc.34 Dec
#37 418.]
Windsor submits that Judge Duffey’s use of
the term “scurrilous” is legally vulgar and most
irresponsible. [Depo-Doc.34 Dec #37 4]19.] It is
libel, and it is perjury.
ERROR OF FACT #2: The only facts before
Judge Duffey in this Civil Action are contained
in the declarations of William M. Windsor.
Judge Duffey erred by making fact statements
that were not facts presented by Windsor.
Another major point regarding errors of fact
is the fact that the only facts before Judge Duffey in
this Civil Action are contained in the declarations of
William M. Windsor. Judge Duffey erred by
making fact statements that were not facts presented
by Windsor.
There were no affidavits presented by any
other parties, as is a requirement of Local Rule 7.1
A.(1). Therefore, Windsor submits that Judge
Duffey’s claim of “Background” is improper.
Judge Duffey made various statements that
seem to purport to be facts in the Appealed Orders,
146
but these statements are not supported by any
evidence or citations and should not be considered.
Neither Judge Evans nor Maid filed any affidavits in
2009. (Depo-Doc.4,32,42.) Windsor’s fact
statements have not been controverted. That’s
because they are true. [R.DS1;R.DS2.]
This Court must not accept that what Judge
Duffey writes is true. Proof of this is provided in
Depo-Docs.4,32,42,6,13,15,17,20,21,24,34,36. (See
aiso R.377;Doc.377:R.390:Doc.390;Doc.462.)
ERROR OF FACT #3: The allegations of
“Background” in the first paragraph of page 3 of
the Reconsideration Order are incorrect.
The allegations of “Background” in the first
paragraph of page 3 of the Reconsideration Order
are incorrect. Maid did not file suit against Alcatraz
and Windsor alleging tortious interference with
business relations. Maid did not seek a permanent
injunction against “Alcatraz’s future voucher sales.”
These incorrect claims of fact by Judge Duffey
indicate a lack of understanding of this case, and it
is irresponsible for him to make such statements.
Judge Duffey apparently did not even read the
information filed with the Court before issuing
orders. [Depo-Doc.34 Dec #37 §21.]
ERROR OF FACT #4: Judge Duffey has claimed
on page 5, paragraph 2 of the Reconsideration
147
Order |Depo-Doc. 32] that “it is clear that
Windsor is seeking to require Judge Evans to
testify about her mental process and decision-
making in the course of her official duties....”
This is absolutely false.
Judge Duffey has claimed on page 5,
paragraph 2 of the Reconsideration Order [Depo-
Doc.32] that “it is clear that Windsor is seeking to
require Judge Evans to testify about her mental
process and decision-making in the course of her
official duties....” This is absolutely false. How
can Judge Duffey make such a statement when the
only facts before Judge Duffey are stated in
Windsor’s declarations -- Dec #27, Dec #28, Dec
#29, Dec #30, Dec #31, Dec #32, Dec #33, Dec #34,
and Dec #35? Windsor clearly states that he will
not seek “mental processes.” Windsor clearly states
that he is even willing to submit the questions for
review and approval by Judge Duffey prior to the
deposition. [Depo-Doc.21 and Dec_#35, P 15 § 64.]
[Depo-Doc.34 Dec #37 422.]
The nature of the testimony sought is to
determine if Judge Evans withheld documents from
the Defendants improperly. Judge Evans reviewed
two contracts in camera and ruled that the contracts
would not be disclosed to the Defendants. Windsor
recently obtained copies of the contracts through
other legal actions, and these contracts were
extremely relevant and should have been produced.
148
Windsor submits that depriving the Defendants of
these documents constitutes a fraud upon the court
and obstruction of justice by either the Plaintiffs or
by Judge Evans. The nature of the testimony was
detailed in Depo-Doc.21 P.7-11_ Dec #35 431-40
ERROR OF FACT #5: Judge Evans falsely
claims in the footnote on page 8 of the
Reconsideration Order that Windsor failed to
comply with the Regulations Adopted by Judicial
Conference.
Judge Duffey claims in the footnote on page &
of the Reconsideration Order that Windsor failed to
comply with the Regulations Adopted by Judicial
Conference. Windsor processed his request to
depose Judge Evans precisely in accordance with
those Regulations. This was detailed by line item in
Windsor’s Response to the Motion to Quash [Depo-
Doc.21] and Windsor’s Response to Motion to
Supplement [Depo-Doc. #24]. This Court ignores
completely the facts in this matter in making such a
false claim. [Depo-Doc.34 Dec #37 430. ]
The nature of the testimony sought is to
determine if Judge Evans withheld documents from
the Defendants improperly. Judge Evans reviewed
two contracts in camera and ruled that the contracts
would not be disclosed to the Defendants. Windsor
recently obtained copies of the contracts through
other legal actions, and these contracts were
149
extremely relevant and should have been produced.
Windsor submits that depriving the Defendants of
these documents constitutes a fraud upon the court
and obstruction of justice by either the Plaintiffs or
by Judge Evans. The nature of the testimony was
detailed in the Depo-Doc.21 P.7-11_ Dec #35 431-
40. Details of how Windsor complied with the
requirements of the Federal Judiciary’s disclosure
regulations is provided in Depo-Doc.21 P11-15_
Dec #35 941-64.
The Eighth Declaration of Defendant William
M. Windsor in Support of Motion to Recuse Judge
Evans (“Dec #8”) was prepared in response to the
“Subpoena Regulations Adopted by Judicial
Conference.” (Exhibit B to Doc.383.) Windsor later
prepared a new declaration, the Twenty-Third
Declaration of William M. Windsor (“Dec #23”’)
attached to Doc.406 as Exhibit C. Dec #23 is an even
more specific setting forth the testimony that is being
sought from Judge Evans. It explains the relevance of
the testimony, the reasons testimony is sought, and
why the information is not available from other
sources or by other means. [Depo-Doc.21 Dec #35
496. ]
ERROR OF FACT #6: Judge Duffey made
various statements that seem to purport to be
facts in the Reconsideration Order, but these
statements are not supported by any evidence or
citations and should not be considered.
150
See Errors of Fact 3, 4, and 5 above.
Judge Duffey has also ruled motions moot on
the basis that “a case the Court already has noted
has been appealed, affirmed, and which is over ana
closed.” Judge Duffey ignores the law once again.
A case is not “over” when Rule 60, the court’s
inherent powers, set aside for perjury, subornation
of perjury, fraud upon the court, RICO violations,
obstruction of justice, witness tampering,
deprivation of rights, and Complaints of
Professional Misconduct by the attorneys and Judge
Evans are issue
