MEMO TO: West Virginia State Bar c/o 2006 Kanawha Boulevard, East Charleston, West Virginia FROM: Paul Andrew, Mitchell, B.A., M.S. Counselor at Law DATE: December 21, 1996 SUBJECT: Stephen D. Herndon For your information, Mr. Stephen D. Herndon has been removed from the office of court-appointed attorney for Mr. Floyd Raymond, Looker, Sui Juris. Because Mr. Looker has been proceeding In Propria Persona and Sui Juris since the mail service of His formal Plea in Abatement, no one is "representing" Him, not even Mr. Floyd Raymond, Looker. See attached, to wit: To represent a person is to stand in his place, to speak or act with authority on behalf of such person, to supply his place, to act as his substitute or agent, see Black's Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition. [see attached] Perhaps it is best to think of the term "represent" as a contraction of the words "re" and "present", i.e. "re-present". Mr. Looker is "presenting" himself, but he is not "re-presenting" himself. I hope this clarifies the matter. If not, please seek advice in the pleadings which Mr. Looker has now filed in the United States District Court [sic] in Wheeling, West Virginia, specifically, His Memorandum of Points and Authorities in Support of Defendant's Challenge to Jurisdiction for Violating the Fundamental Guarantee of Effective Assistance of Counsel: Sixth Amendment (not ATTORNeys). Finally, please be advised that Mr. Looker has authorized me to begin preparation of a formal criminal complaint against Mr. Herndon, for violating 18 U.S.C. 241 and 242. We are awaiting additional evidence which is now being discovered by the USPS. Sincerely yours, /s/ Paul Andrew Mitchell Paul Andrew, Mitchell, B.A., M.S. Counselor at Law and federal witness c/o 2509 N. Campbell, #1776 Tucson, Arizona state Postal Zone 85719/tdc email: supremelawfirm@altavista.net website: http://supremelaw.com Memorandum to State Bar of West Virginia: Page 1 of 2 Excerpt from CONFIDENTIAL Memorandum 28. The ORDER requires respondent to appear "by his authorized representative". To represent a person is to stand in his place, to speak or act with authority on behalf of such person, to supply his place, to act as his substitute or agent, see Black's. Respondent has not authorized anyone or anything to stand as His substitute or agent, nor does He consent now to such a substitute or agent, rendering the Order impossible to obey on its face, see "The Merchant of Venice" by William Shakespeare. Respondent hereby rebuts the presumption that the fictional persona of "JOHN E. TRUMANE" exists now or has ever existed, see reference to Respondent as "it" in Petitioners' verified petition, page 3, line 22. Respondent objects to the use of the term "it" to refer to any proper Person. Memorandum to State Bar of West Virginia: Page 2 of 2 # # #
