IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ, USMJ, the Judge and Magistrate of this action, without any
waiver directed or implied to further disqualifications.3
I THE MOTIONS
These motions are brought against BARBARA M.G. LYNN, JUDGE and
IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ, USMJ, ( i.) for engaging in a pattern ofconduct that is incompatible with the trust and confidence placed in
them as a Federal judge and Federal magistrate, ( ii.) and for engaging in
a pattern of corrupt conduct that demonstrates unfitness to serve as a
United States District Court Judge.
1.1 This motion is initially raised for the voluntary recusal of BARBARA M.G. LYNN,
JUDGE and IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ, USMJ, whose behavior does not comport with the
Code of Conduct for United States Judges inclusive of the prevailing opinions on recusal
issued by the Codes of Conduct Committee of the Judicial Conference of the United States4
where rule governing cause to recuse is identified under 28 U.S.C. 144 for such an5
alarming and destructive pattern of conduct including but not limited to the abuse of
authority, where such acts are not subject to immunity, limited or otherwise.
1.2 Plaintiff attaches hereto below in this filing, verification by affidavit stating that
the facts and reasons incorporated herein, supporting the belief that there is bias and
prejudice in accord with U.S. v. Burger, 964 F.2d 1065, 1070 (10th Cir. 1992).
1.3 FURTHER, Plaintiff seeks the dissolution and vacation of all findings and orders
(...continued)2
disinterested, lay observer fully informed of the facts underlying the grounds on which recusal was soughtwould entertain a significant doubt about the judge's impartiality. United States v. Scrushy, 721 F.3d 1288,1303 (11th Cir.2013) (citations and internal quotation marks omitted). [emphasis added]
U.S.C. 455. Recusal under 455 includes all federal judges, the grounds in subsection (a) are waivable3
only after full disclosure on the record, the grounds in subsection (b) are not waivable, and the party is notlimited to one motion.
The D.C. Circuit has stated that [t]he Code of Conduct is the law with respect to the ethical obligations of4
federal judges. United States v. Microsoft Corp., 253 F.3d 34, 113 (D.C. Cir. 2001).
[A]ny doubts must be resolved in favor of recusal. Patti, 337 F.3d at 1321, infra.5

issued by BARBARA M.G. LYNN, JUDGE and IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ, USMJ holding them
as void for the reasons discussed below based on the relevant filings and applicable law.
The orders, dismissals, and rulings issued by BARBARA M.G. LYNN, JUDGE and
IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ, USMJ should be DECLARED VOIDand STRICKENfrom the
record of the Court in this case as the rulings and orders are fraught with bias, prejudice,
and issued in violation of law and thusly void as a matter of law resulting out of the Judge
and Magistrate alarming and destructive pattern of conduct.
1.4 AND FURTHER, that a Stay of Proceedingsissue, until such time of filings and
rulings of Judicial Complaints filed pursuant to the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act of
1980, 28 U.S.C. 372(c) in the United States Court 5 Circuit Court of Appeals/JudicialTH
Council against BARBARA M.G. LYNN, JUDGE, submitted by the Plaintiffs, members of the
various bars, judicial review organizations, and interested parties among public.
1.5 ADDITIONALLY, that the stay include such time as necessary for the completion
of submission of complaints for review by the Chief Judge and in a tribunal for the
Northern District for disciplinary actions or removal of Magistrate
IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ.
1.6 LASTLY, the pattern violative acts and omissions of law and rule demonstrated by
BARBARA M.G. LYNN, JUDGE and IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ, USMJ in conduct prejudicial
to the effective administration of the business of the court and their pattern of abusive
behavior has brought the undeserved disrepute upon the federal judiciary and particularly
the courts of the Northern District, especially following the disciplinary action against
Judge John H. McBryde by the judicial council for the Fifth Circuit. In distinction to the
sitting jurists of the Northern District, Magistrate Judge Ramirezs decorum and judicial
behavior should not be allowed as a detractor of the Northern District of Texas, nor our
Circuit, nor taint the trust of the public in our judiciary.

1.7 AND RESULTING THEREFROM, Plaintiffs being aware of the Judges and
Magistrates engaged misconduct, malfeasance, and acts of moral turpitude, entreated
nonprofit nonpartisan organizations, members of the House of Representatives (as
sponsors), and fellow citizens from the several states, to sponsor, or otherwise petition for
a determination of competency and maladministration of the Judge and Magistrate by a
tribunal. Whereby, if individually found competent, and not disabled, the action against
BARBARA M.G. LYNN, JUDGE should proceed to impeachment or disciplinary action by the
Judicial Council on the merits of the Petitions and Judicial Complaints. IRMA CARRILLO6
RAMIREZ, USMJ, should be brought before a tribunal assembled by the Chief Judge to
determine the disciplinary action or removal.

CHICAGO, Aug. 8 Federal District Judge Charles Kocoras imposed the sentence on
Associate Judge John Murphy of Cook County, who was convicted June 14 of 24 counts of
mail fraud, racketeering and extortion after a 10-day trial.
''At some point you became an infidel to the cause of justice,''Judge Kocoras said. ''it would demean yours and my highoffice if a substantial penalty was not imposed for your
substantial prostitution of it.''

may file a complaint against a judge for conduct that contravenes court processes.

on related criminal charges as well as those RICO Defendants which took part in the
ongoing conspiracy and acts of racketeering. The essence of this RICO complaint is based
on, inter alia , two-hundred one (201) predicate crimes committed by the RICO Defendants;
the aforementioned, all supported by verified and manifest evidence before this Court,
hence filed in the Record through the Clerk of the Court for the Northern District of Texas,
Dallas Division.
Prostitution of the Bench
Quandary of the Early Conditions
3.6 Shortly after the filing of this suit on 08/21/2011 Plaintiffs filed motion and brief
in support (Doc. 10, 11 respectively) to extend the time for service and alternate service. It
wasnt until 02/01/2012 that an order (Doc. 12, sealed) for service was granted in part
and denied in part w/directives, by RAMIREZ. This event began RAMIREZs noticeable
campaign to delay, interfere and inflate the cost of litigation by delaying service. Magistrate
Ramirez withheld service of the defendants for just over five months. Plaintiffs grew
suspicious of court scheduling after examining the dockets of other judges courts and
found other courts with similarly loaded dockets. None had any indications of the
instituted delays of service as could be attributed to those imposed upon the Plaintiffs by
RAMIREZ.
3.7 A re-examination for the circumstances and events of that surround these early
events reveal:
The Dilemma of the Later Developments
3.8 On or about March 18, 2012, Plaintiffs became wary of the Magistrates and
Judges complicity in the cover-up of certain criminal activities by RICO Defendants.
Plaintiffs observed that the same criminal influence was being extended into this Court and
corrupting its orderly, impartiality and propriety administration of the Court though

RAMIREZ and LYNN.
3.9 Plaintiffs anticipated the continuance of that criminal influence through other
observations and that it was enviable that disqualification would be warranted. It then
became necessary to establish and memorialize formal manifest evidence in order to
withstand attack where might a recusal or disqualification decision turn on Pattior Scrushy
(supra, p. 2 fn 2). The Plaintiffs engaged the participation of disinterested third party
organizations to observe and present the facts of this case relating this resulting recusal
and disqualification to lay individuals, to determine:
whether an objective, disinterested, lay observer fully informed of thefacts underlying the grounds on which recusal was sought would
entertain a significant doubt about the judge's impartiality. Scrushy, id.
3.10 In order to memorialize the candid observations and statements and affidavits,
of lay observer[s] they were to be taken and documented; the evidence, therefrom, to
substantiate by empirical evidence, from a body of lay observers, the criteria necessary to
prove up and establish the stated legal requirement of Scrushy. These observations were
then to be memorialized within Judicial Complaints to the Fifth Circuit (Judicial Council)
and included in Petitions for Impeachment.
Abuse of Authority - High Crimes and Misdemeanors
3.11 The unlawful acts intentionally committed by RAMIREZ through her
unmitigated bias and the furtherance of that bias through the collusion of LYNN exhibited
aberrant judicial behavior and unlawful extra-judicial acts against the Plaintiffs. Their
behavior clearly rises to the level of malicious misconduct and malfeasance in violation of
! 18 U.S. Code 242 - Deprivation of rights under color of law.
! 18 U.S. Code 241 - Conspiracy against rights.

! Deprivation of Honest Services (Honest Services Doctrine) The Supreme Court of
the United States in the case of Skilling v. United Statesruled to avoid finding the
statute to be unconstitutionally vague. The Court interpreted the statute to only cover
"fraudulent schemes to deprive another of honest services through bribes or
kickbacks supplied by a third party who ha[s] not been deceived."8
In 1988, Congress enacted a new law that specifically criminalized schemes to defraud
victims of "the intangible right of honest services."9
3.12 There is substantial evidence that BARBARA M.G. LYNN, JUDGE and IRMA
CARRILLO RAMIREZ purposely and intentionally ignored RICO Defendant criminal activity
in the Court and advocated in behalf of Defendants egregious behavior and those criminal
acts by more than one or more of the now criminally indited RICO Defendants and
co-conspirators. Such said behavior and acts include fraud upon the Court, and instances of
perjured affidavits submitted by various RICO Defendants.
8Skilling v. United States, 130 S.Ct. 2896
The Ninth Circuit acknowledged that the Fifth Circuits requirement of a violation of state law to support9
an honest services fraud conviction served the objectives of: giving public officials fair notice of what conductwould subject them to federal prosecution; minimizing the potential for selective enforcement against publicofficials; and limiting the influence federal prosecutors would have over state and local public ethicsstandards. Nevertheless, the Ninth Circuit joined the majority of circuits, including the First, Fourth andEleventh, holding that 1346 prescribes a uniform federal standard for honest services, neither tethered tonor limited by applicable state statutes, even though those circuits could not agree on the precise contours ofthat standard. The Ninth Circuit found no evidence that Congress had intended to condition the meaning ofhonest services on state law or that it intended the criminality of official conduct under federal law todepend on geography. It also reasoned that Congress has a legitimate interest in ensuring that legitimatestate action affecting federal priorities (such as energy policy) is not improperly influenced and that Congressability to protect federal interests through the federal fraud statutes should not be unduly hampered by thevagaries of and variations between state ethics laws.
The Ninth Circuit concluded that, in reinstating the honest services doctrine after McNally[McNally v. UnitedStates, 483 U.S. 350 (1987)], Congress intended to bring at least two core categories of official misconductwithin the reach of 1346, regardless of whether a state law had been violated: (1) taking a bribe orotherwise being paid for a decision while purporting to be exercising independent discretion and (2)nondisclosure of material information. Accordingly, the district courts exclusion order was reversed andthe government was free to proceed with its prosecution of Weyhrauch for honest services fraud. However,the Ninth Circuit made it clear that it was expressing no opinion on what effect, if any, state law would have ifit expressly condoned or excused the conduct involved in the federal prosecution of a public official or on therole of state law in honest services fraud prosecutions in the private context. The full text of the Ninth Circuitdecision can be found at United States v. Weyhrauch, 548 F.3d 1247 (9th Cir. 2008).

Malice Aforethought and Abuse of Authority
3.13 By RAMIREZs and LYNNs acquiescence, acceptance and failure to act upon
these instances of perjured affidavits and falsified documents which were known by them
to be falsified and/or perjured, in motions presented by certain RICO Defendants. The
falsified documents were challenged by the Plaintiffs for their veracity, and shown to be
perjured. Nonetheless, they were accepted as true by the RAMIREZ and LYNN in spite of
their obvious falsification. The failure to act on the crimes and disallow the perjured
affidavits by RAMIREZ and LYNN, violated the rights and protections of the Due Process
Clause of the U.S. Constitution which entitles a person to an impartial and disinterested
tribunal in all cases.
3.14 Judge and Magistrate, by extra-judicial action for which they had no authority to
undertake, violated statutory requirements of the Federal Rules, where directive was
mandatory and provided for no discretion whatsoever to the Court to rule otherwise.
RAMIREZ intentionally and purposefully violated, with malice aforethought, the statutory
requirement to uphold and enforce Rule 11. In the stead of Rule and Law, RAMIREZ
manufactured unconstitutional law to benefit a RICO Defendant that had never made an
appearance in the instant action. It is clearly evident that RAMIREZ intended to advocate
for that RICO Defendant. This violation of law was sanctioned by LYNN, who knew it to be
unlawful, and was fully aware that the same issue had been adjudicated in this same Court
previously by Jeff Kaplan, USMJ, in accordance with rule and law, and contrary to the
violation by RAMIREZ and LYNN. See Plaintiffs Motion to Strike, &c.(Doc. 357 Filed
06/10/13)
3.15 Further, RAMIREZ and LYNN became pro-active in their prejudice against the
Plaintiffs shortly after the appearance of RICO Defendants Scott Koster and John Childs.

10/27
Thereafter the Judge and Magistrate began wielding their abuse of power as a weapon of
their cabal ministryto unlawfully interfere and obstruct the Plaintiffs discovery in the
behalf of the RICO Defendants in an unlawful manner never seen in the Northern District
nor the Fifth Circuit previously.
3.16 Never in the history of the U.S. Fifth Circuit trial courts has there been presented
in a Racketeering case so comprehensive a pleading supported such extensive verified
prima facie evidence. And, never has any member of the trial court judiciary of the inferior
courts since Associate Justice Robert W. Archbald, Judge George W. English, Judge Alcee
Hastings, Chief Judge Walter Nixon, Judge Samuel B. Kent, and Judge Thomas Porteous,
been so flagrant in the abuse of power now exhibited in this case.
3.17 Plaintiffs file this motion asking Judge BARBARA M.G. LYNN and Magistrate
IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ, USMJ to recuse themselves because of their malfeasance and
misconduct, where the Plaintiffs are sure to testify against them in future proceedings.
3.18 For these reasons, the Judge and Magistrate cannot be impartial arbiters where
such cannot be legally justified and will conflict with the law arising under 28 U.S.C. 144 -
Bias or prejudice of judge:
Whenever a party to any proceeding in a district court makes and files
a timely and sufficient affidavit that the judge before whom the matter
is pending has a personal bias or prejudice either against him or in favor
of any adverse party, such judge shall proceed no further therein, but
another judge shall be assigned to hear such proceeding.
The affidavit shall state the facts and the reasons for the belief that bias
or prejudice exists, and shall be filed not less than ten days before thebeginning of the term at which the proceeding is to be heard, or good
cause shall be shown for failure to file it within such time. A party may
file only one such affidavit in any case. It shall be accompanied by a
certificate of counsel of record stating that it is made in good faith.

IV MEMORANDUM STATEMENT OF FACTS AND SUPPLEMENTAL LAW
4.1 The circumstances and facts which surround this case are substantial at the very
least. The Internet has given rise to a modern form of organized crime that has made
significant departures from the conventional mid Twentieth Century Gangs. The modern
Internet racketeering form is far more global reaching and behavior more akin to the
Russian Mafia which is more dynamic and amorphous than is the well-established Italian
Mafia which adheres to an astringent hierarchy. This difference makes the Internet-based
gangster more effective and illusive to track without the use of sophisticated digital and
network forensic tools.
Prosecution of Mobsters in the Flourishing Modern Organized Crime Industryand Those of the Instant Cause
4.2 The modern Internet gangster are aware of the difficulty of mounting a successful
civil suit or even criminal action against them. Likewise, they have even less fear of state or
federal authorities assisting their victims. They know well that complainants will rarely
get past the intake officer of any agency. The indifference to individual citizen complaints
to officials in federal agencies, assures the modern criminal their crimes will pay off. A
recent example, is, after the many red flags that might have tipped officials off to Bernie
Madoffs fraud, and eight SEC investigations over sixteen years, Madoff was not caught.10
4.3 The initial activities of the various criminal organizations involved in this case
have evolved, for the most part, around 2005, though a number of individuals have been
engaged in criminal activities years earlier. The Plaintiffs have been involved in or aided a

number of criminal investigations since 2009. Their suit has been the bench mark of a
number of criminal and civil suits, using evidence from this case including affidavits and
other information to establish criminal prosecutions.
4.4 Most recently, a number of defendants identified in this case have been indicted
on criminal charges related to the issues in this case. More are expected in 2014, to wit:

unclean handsthrough his fraud upon the Court shown by Plaintiffs well-documented

falsifications and Divens unclean handshiding them from the light of day, thereby
aiding and abiding the falsifications, thus biasing the Court against the Plaintiffs,
obstructing justice, and making a mockery of justice, due process, and the Court.

Money in the amount of $300,000. See Plaintiffs Exhibit 297.
! John Childs attorneys suborned the perjury in each filing even though Plaintiffs
had identified his perjury to the Court, thus both failing to recant given theopportunity. Other government authorities have used the Flores/Clarkson suit
affidavit information, inter alia, to prove that John Childs had perjured himself in
other courts. (e.g., see Exhibit 301) Flores and Clarkson plead and proved-up the
perjuries of Childs claim that he never did any business outside California. The
Plaintiffs prove-up showed that he did and the Grand Jury in Alabama, using
other information as well as the Flores/Clarkson evidence and pleadings from
the instant case, found Child did business outside of California, thus, affirming
the Flores/Clarkson perjury claims against Childs. (See Doc. 71 and 72.)
! Both RAMIREZ and LYNN knew of Childs perjury in the Court and that his attorneys
had suborned Childs perjury. Though Plaintiffs documented and presented the
perjury crimes to Magistrate RAMIREZ and Judge LYNN, they took great strides to
cover up the perjuries and Childs unclean handshiding them from the light of day,

! Koster is the central figure in the Plaintiffs suit as well as numerous other
actions. His location is not known. He is presently a fugitive from justice. The
Baldwin County Prosecutor and Sheriffs Office have an arrest warrant for
Koster but he remains at large.
! Koster was chiefly responsible for working with Mark Alan Gelazela, Jon Divensand Francis Wilde to purchase a $5 Billion financial instrument of which $66
Million belongs to the Plaintiffs. The instrument matured during the prosecution
of this suit in which RAMIREZ orchestrate an elaborate delay scheme and the
purposeful delay of the discovery process in which the Plaintiffs could not
subpoena records for the SBLC issued by HSBC for the matured bond.
Eventually, RAMIREZ and LYNN conspired to deny all discovery such that
Plaintiffs were refused the entirety of their due process rights for the discovery
process. RAMIREZ and LYNN were fully aware of the need of discovery in a case
as complex as the one at hand and worked together to insure the complete
denial of Plaintiffs due process rights.
! RAMIREZ and LYNN were fully aware of the numerous off-shore bank accounts
held by the various RICO Defendants because those accounts had been
presented to the Court in evidence by the Plaintiffs. Also, RAMIREZ and LYNN
were fully aware of the large funds held by the Defendants at various times.
! RAMIREZ and LYNN were fully aware of the fraud upon the Court perpetrated by
Koster.
! Both RAMIREZ and LYNN were well aware of Kosters entry into the Court with
unclean handsthrough his fraud upon the Court shown by Plaintiffs well-documented
response. Magistrate RAMIREZ and Judge LYNN, took great strides to cover up the
falsifications and Kosters unclean handshiding them from the light of day, therebyaiding and abiding the falsifications. Their acts thus biased the Court against the

! Plaintiffs sought discovery from John T. Childs, IV because Childs withheld
information about Buschs participation in hiding funds and illegal transferring
funds belonging to Plaintiffs which should have presented in initial disclosure.
! Plaintiffs asked the Court several times for initial disclosure which was
continually ignored by Childs and not enforced by IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ.
! IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ continued in her pattern of persistent efforts to
prevent or otherwise hinder Plaintiffs discovery efforts by staying discovery,
unfiling Plaintiffs multiple motions to compel discovery, and ordering the delay
of Plaintiffs discovery efforts by one-hundred days.

interference with due process and the proper administration of the Court were

coordinator for Francis E. Wilde and Jon A. Divens and their RICO enterprises.
! RAMIREZ and LYNN were fully aware of Mark Alan Gelazelas bank account
information as the Plaintiffs had placed into evidence that information. Both the
Judge and Magistrate was aware that Gelazela had a New Zealand bank account
which was disclosed in the SEC case depositions and presented to the Court by
the Plaintiffs. Gelazela disclosed where he transferred and held money.
! By RAMIREZs and LYNNs conspiracy to deny the Plaintiffs due process right to
discovery they intentionally protected Gelazelas banking accounts and funds.
With malice aforethought, RAMIREZ and LYNN insured that any of the monies
that Gelazela had laundered in New Zealand were protected from exposure by
the Plaintiffs, which insured the opportunity and time for Gelazela to move anyill-gotten funds elsewhere.
! Details of Gelazela involvement in Racketeering activities and other frauds is set
forth more fully in the Deposition of Gelazela to the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission, SEC case # 8:11-cv-00315, Plaintiffs Exhibit 275 (Doc. 205)

no return address and appearing to have been mailed or re-mailed from Los Angeles,
California on October 18, 2012. The one-page document appears to have a signature
affixed, however the validation of that signature cannot be authenticated. The document
was wholly unverifiable.
4.17 The purported motion to dismiss document has i.) no address of the Signer, nor
ii.) an e-mail address of the Signer, nor iii.) a telephone number of the purported Signer
affixed to Doc. 216 for which the signer is required to affix to any document submitted to
the Court in order to be a valid pleading pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule
11(a) which requires the signers address, e-mail address, and telephone number to be
affixed to the pleading:
Signature. Every pleading, written motion, and other paper
must be signed by at least one attorney of record in the
attorney's name or by a party personally if the party is
unrepresented. The paper must state the signer's address,
e-mail address, and telephone number. [emphasis added]
Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a)
4.18 The Rule does not make any allowances for discretion. None whatsoever. Given the
facts that attach, any ruling to the contrary is purposeful, malicious and illegal because both
the magistrate and judge were bound by oath, the Cannons relating to judicial conduct, the
Constitution and statutes to uphold the rule of law. Both RAMIREZ and LYNN freely chose to

benefit of the RICO Defendant Gelazela and in doing so, committed crimes, thus joining the
RICO conspiracy.
4.19 If per chance the signer was Gelazela, which is doubtful, the RAMIREZ/LYNN
purported motion to dismiss document could not meet Constitutional muster of a valid motion
in any case. The signer of the purported motion to dismiss letter, had a personal
responsibility to comply with the pleading requirements which included revealing the signers
identity, location, and contact information by conforming to specifications Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a):
[T]he signer has a personal, nondelegable responsibility
to comply with the requirements of Rule 11 before signing
the document. Garr v. U.S. Healthcare, Inc., 33 F.3d 1274,
1278 (3 Cir. 1994) (emphasis added)rd
4.20 Because Plaintiffs had filed an objection that has extensively presented Rule 1114
with prevailing precedents explaining the Rule explicitly, both RAMIREZ and LYNN had
foreknowledge sufficient to prevent them from committing a violation of law. Both chose to
proceed with the violation and commit criminal acts colluding with the RICO conspiracy and
each committing two predicate crimes directly related to the RICO case before them.
4.21 Because they used or caused the use of the Court electronic ECF system to
propagate their fraud upon the Court, they each committed numerous instances of wire fraud.

numerous other predicate crimes committed by RAMIREZ and LYNN such as obstruction of

communications facilities of the United States for electronic mail and one or more facilities in
interstate commerce, with intent to promote, manage, establish, carry on and facilitate the

illegal enterprise in the Courthouse of the United States to aid and abet an ongoing criminal
enterprise and hinder the lawful prosecution of a Racketeering case before the Court in

4.26 Courts refusal to allow Plaintiffs discovery, has clearly prejudiced them in
efforts to prove jurisdiction as well as the merits of their case.
When the defendant disputes the factual bases for jurisdiction, as W&S does
here, the court may receive interrogatories, depositions, or "any combination of
the recognized methods of discovery" to help it resolve the jurisdictional issue.
The court has discretion as to the type and amount of discovery to allow. Buteven if the court receives discovery materials, unless there is a full and fair
hearing, it should not act as a fact finder and must construe all disputed facts in
the plaintiff's favor and consider them along with the undisputed facts.
Moreover, at this stage the plaintiff is required to present only a prima facie case
for personal jurisdiction. The Ninth Circuit has explained why:
If the court determines that it will receive only affidavits or affidavits
20140312142923 Motion for Recusal.wpd Page 22
Case 3:11-cv-00726-M-BH Document 394 Filed 03/19/14 Page 22 of 27 PageID 4548
-
7/22/2019 Doc. 394 -- Recusal of Judge Lynn and Rameriz -Disqualification - Mtn for Stay
23/27
plus discovery materials, these very limitations dictate that a plaintiff
must make only a prima facie showing of jurisdictional facts through the
submitted materials in order to avoid a defendant's motion to dismiss.
Any greater burden such as proof by a preponderance of the evidence
would permit a defendant to obtain a dismissal simply by controverting
the facts established by a plaintiff through his own affidavit andsupporting materials.
Ultimately, the plaintiff must show by a preponderance of the evidence that jurisdiction
is proper. Often, the determination of whether this standard is met is resolved at trial
along with the merits. This is especially likely when the jurisdictional issue is
intertwined with the merits and therefore can be determined based on jury fact
findings.
In this situation, it is often "preferable that [the jurisdictional] determination be
made at trial, where a plaintiff may present his case in a coherent, orderly fashion
and without the risk of prejudicing his case on the merits." But this court has
said that after a pretrial evidentiary hearing confined to the jurisdictional issue,
where both sides have the opportunity to present their cases fully, the district court
can decide whether the plaintiff has established jurisdiction by a preponderance of
the evidence. The district court relied on these cases and required Delasa to
establish more than a prima facie case for personal jurisdiction because, in its
estimation, it was deciding the jurisdictional issue following an evidentiary hearing.
This was error. Walk Haydel & Associates v. Coastal Power Prod.517 F.3d 235
(2008) (footnotes omitted)

Judge BARBARA M.G. LYNN.
4.27 The Due Process Clause of the U.S. Constitution entitles a person to an impartial
and disinterested tribunal in all cases. Caperton v. A.T. Massey Coal Co., 556 U.S. 868, 876
(2009); Marshall v. Jerrico, Inc., 446 U.S. 238, 242 (1980).
4.28 The purpose of this motion to recuse, asks a judge and magistrate to remove
themselves from the case so another judge can hear it. The Due Process Clause of the U.S.
Constitution entitles the Plaintiffs, as well as all parties, to an impartial and disinterested
tribunal in both civil and criminal cases, and it may serve as the basis for recusal. See
Caperton v. A. T. Massey Coal Co., 556 U.S. 868,889 (2009); Marshall v. Jerrico, Inc., 446 U.S.
238, 242 (1980). The Due Process Clause, however, provides only the "outer boundaries"
of judicial disqualification, and Congress and the states can impose more rigorous
standards. Caperton, 556 U.S. at 889;Aetna life Ins. v. Lavoie, 475 U.S. 813, 828 (1986).
4.29 A judge should recuse himself or herself if the judges impartiality might
reasonably be questioned. 28 U.S.C. 455(a); In re Kensington Intl, 368 F.3d 289, 301 (3d
Cir. 2004); United States v. Microsoft Corp., 253 F.3d 34, 114-15 (D.C. Cir. 2001). Recusal is
proper if a court determines that a reasonable person would perceive a significant risk that
the judge will resolve the case on a basis other than the merits. See Sao Paolo State of
Federative Republic of Braz. v. Am. Tobacco Co., 535 U.S. 229, 232-33 (2002); Liljeberg v.
Health Servs. Acquisition Corp., 486 U.S. 847, 865-67 (1988).
4.30 The personal bias or prejudice of the Judge and Magistrate will deprive Plaintiffs
of a fair trial in violation of the Due Process Clause. See Caperton, 556 U.S. at 872; Marshall,

themselves. See, 28 U.S.C. {144/455(b)(1)}; also Sao Paolo State of Federative Republic of
Braz. v. Am. Tobacco Co., 535 U.S. 229, 232-33 (2002). The Court should grant Plaintiffs
motion to recuse for the following reasons:
4.32 Judge BARBARA M.G. LYNNS and Magistrate IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ, USMJ
bias and prejudice is directed against both Plaintiffs. See Gilbert v. City of Little Rock, Ark.,
722 F.2d 1390, 1398-99 (8th Cir. 1983).
4.33 Judge BARBARA M.G. LYNNS and Magistrate IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ should
recuse themselves for the following reasons:
4.33.1 There is a reasonable factual basis for calling the judges impartiality into
question. See United States v. Avilez-Reyes, 160 F.3d 258, 259 (5th Cir. 1998);
Nichols v. Alley, 71 F.3d 347, 351-52 (10th Cir. 1995).
4.33.2 The judge and magistrate have exhibited actions from which a reasonable
inference of partiality may be drawn. See United States v. Cooley, 1 F.3d 985, 993
(10th Cir. 1993).
4.33.3 If the judge and magistrate do not recuse themselves, the publics
confidence in the judiciary will be irreparably harmed. Alexander v. Primerica
Holdings, Inc., 10 F.3d 155, 162 (3d Cir. 1993).
4.33.4 A reasonable person, knowing all the relevant facts, would harbor doubts
about the judges impartiality.Alexander, 10 F.3d at 164; Cooley, 1 F.3d at 993.
V CONCLUSION
5.1 Because BARBARA M.G. LYNN, JUDGE and IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ, USMJ,
exhibited bias and prejudice by their abuse of authority and process, their continued
presence in the Court will prevent the Plaintiffs from receiving a fair trial, thusly,
BARBARA M.G. LYNN, JUDGE and IRMA CARRILLO RAMIREZ, USMJ should recuse
