Section 15.0

Section 15 – The January 22, 2004, hearing

As is further stated in Section 25, the April 8, 2004 hearing, American Citizens are guaranteed trial by jury, not “trials” by judges. Hearings are trials by judges, without juries, a complete violation of jurisdiction and due process. These hearings provide excellent opportunities for judges to find against the Citizen and for his/her opponent, usually based in some minor and insignificant reason unrelated to the Citizen’s lawful position. Be fully aware of the purpose for which hearings were designed and fully prepared to demand your Rights pursuant to Edwards’ Motions.

Against Edwards’ objections, this hearing took place telephonically, with Edwards present in the court and Harris presiding, with Metris’ attorneys on the phone. Harris and Metris’ attorneys had communicated ex parte, on numerous occasions, without Edwards, a clear violation of the law and court rules. Harris, by his own actions, knows little or cares less about laws and rules. By his own actions, he appears to be a very stupid, incompetent and corrupt man, without any rational or lawful awareness. This man should be an embarrassment to New Mexico, yet, most-likely because this state is also corrupt, it protects him.

Although Edwards was not informed and an ex-parte arrangement was made between Harris and Metris’ attorneys, the hearing was apparently held to determine if the matter could be resolved before it was scheduled for trial. Metris’ attorneys, knowing that they and their client had failed to rebut or deny any of Edwards charges made in her letters, affidavit and pleadings, eagerly stated that they were willing to compromise, and, further, had no idea what Edwards meant about fraud, and, still further, that Metris did not want to waste the court’s time. This was a major mistake by Metris, by and through their incompetent and fraudulent attorneys, since the lead attorney’s statements put fraud upon the court through her lies and fraudulent statements.

Edwards immediately stated that it was Metris that filed this action, not Edwards, and if Metris was so concerned about wasting the court’s time, then it could drop the suit since Metris has no case. The attorneys said nothing. They did not expect an “ordinary” Citizen to know the law, know the case, and be prepared to argue it. They seemed in shock.

In further response, Edwards stated that she absolutely had no intent or interest in compromise, was eager for the trial, and that Metris and their attorneys were well aware of the fraud and deceit they created by means of their receipt of her letters and affidavit Edwards sent them, which charges were never rebutted, and stand as truth before this court. Edwards stated that the attorneys put fraud upon the court by claiming ignorance of this fraud. She also stated that Metris, in its responsive pleadings, failed to rebut Edwards’ charges made in her Motions and pleadings filed with the court. Thus, pursuant to NMSA 1-008 (D), Effect of Failure To Deny, Metris admits to all Edwards’ charges, and this case must be dismissed. Harris said nothing.

Further, Edwards said that Metris stated it does business in interstate commerce, that DMB solicited Edwards through the U.S. Postal Service, and, as such, that proper jurisdiction is federal district court, not state district court. She stated that neither Metris nor DMB are licensed to do business in New Mexico and have no lawful position to file this case in state district court, and that this court has no jurisdiction to hear this case. Metris’ attorneys were quiet, said nothing, rebutted nothing. Harris, as we expected, failed to respond to Edwards’ charges. By his prior actions and by his actions in this hearing, it was obvious that he greatly favored Metris and disparaged Edwards. Otherwise, on the available evidence, he should have immediately dismissed the case. He did say that Ms. Edwards is not willing to settle the case, and continued it.
