Judicial Conduct Board Complaint (Updated 12/13/08)
On May 8, 2006 I filed with the court of common pleas, Lackawanna County, to appeal thirteen (13) criminal convictions pursuant to the Pennsylvania Title 75 Motor Vehicle code.
On August 22nd, while present in the court of common pleas for that appeal, Judge Vito Geroulo announced "Commonwealth vs. Hannevig." To better understand what I was going to be dealing with before I entered his bar, I attempted to clarify with him which case was being tried; the one from the magistrate (wherein I am a "defendant"), or my appeal (where I am a "plaintiff")? The judge, Vito Geroulo, told me I was "wasting" his time.
I asked again, explaining that this appeal was brought to the court as a "Claim of Conusance"/"Claim of Cognizance" wherein it was up to the courts to resolve the controversy, and I wanted to be prepared to enter the court based on how I was being perceived.
Instead of replying to my question, Judge Geroulo said I was in "contempt" and signaled the Sheriff's deputies.
I was handcuffed and taken to a room where I was searched and put in a holding cell. About 5 - 10 minutes later, I was put in leg irons and re-handcuffed, this time, with the belt to hold my hands firmly against my waist and taken back into court for regurgitation of the issues that brought me there from the magistrate's court for the appeal!
Judge Geroulo said I could appeal. I reminded him that the appeal was before him and had not yet been heard. Judge Geroulo refused to hear the enclosed appeal. Here's what's been happening:
1. The Numbers for the Thirteen (13) Dockets originally in controversy; TR-0000155-06, TR-0000158-06, TR-0000162-06, TR-0000160-06, TR-0000157-06, TR-0000164-06, TR-0000165-06, TR-0000166-06, TR-0000159-06, TR-0000161-06, TR-0000163-06, TR-0000153-06, and TR-0000154-06, were, upon submission of a “Notice of Appeal from Summary Criminal Conviction,” given Docket Numbers; CP-35-SA-0000064-2006, CP-35-SA-0000065-2006, CP-35-SA-0000066-2006, CP-35-SA-0000067-2006, CP-35-SA-0000068-2006, CP-35-SA-0000069-2006, CP-35-SA-0000070-2006, CP-35-SA-0000071-2006, CP-35-SA-0000072-2006, CP-35-SA-0000073-2006, CP-35-SA-0000074-2006, CP-35-SA-0000075-2006, and CP-35-SA-0000076-2006.
2. Janet L. Dolan, Director Bureau of Driver Licensing, failed to respond to a May 22, 2006, Certified Mail #70051820000818337944, wherein Fiduciary, Dolan, was asked to provide the “wet ink” “valid” documentation of my contractual obligations with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Transportation, Bureau of Driver Licensing that would substantiate the Commonwealth's claim that I had a current “driving record” upon which her actions could be taken.
3. On 7/10/06, knowing the disposition of the 1987 Toyota Camry that was impounded by Officer James Reed on February 1, 2006, was on appeal and the title in controversy, and that he did not rebut my full acceptance of his “Not Guilty” plea, Magistrate Sean P. McGraw participated with City of Carbondale Police Officer Joseph A Demchak, Badge #101, in the issuance, and conviction of Docket No.: TR-0000860-06. A conviction that was predicated on Citation No.: B3206329-0 with the remark in block “62;” “Title request by G & G Towing.”
4. Lackawanna County, District Attorney, Andrew J. Jarbola, III, on August 4, 2006, implied in his letter regarding my appeal that he was a judge when he stated in that letter that the hearing for my appeal would be in his office on August 22, 2006 at 9:30 a.m. and that my failure to appear may result in automatic dismissal of my case by the Court. District Attorney, Jarbola, failed to respond to my August 11, 2006 faxed (570-963-6725) request that he provide to me proof of his implied claim that he qualified as a judge and his court is the court of common pleas for Lackawanna County.
5. Judge, Vito Geroulo, in the court of common pleas, Lackawanna County, on August 22, 2006, had employees of the Sheriff’s Department shackle my wrists and ankles before taking me before the bar to try me again for the “Not Guilty” charges I had already fully accepted.
6. Judge, Vito Geroulo did not allow me to present my petition for review in his court for governmental redress of grievances under the Constitution and Laws of these united States of America and under the Constitutional Charter of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Judge Geroulo’s behavior in court implied misdemeanor offenses consistent with 18 Pa.C.S.A. §2902(2); and the issue of title remains in controversy.
