Re: Request for an observer in a petition to the U.S. Supreme Court.Dear President Carter,My name is Neil Gillespie, age 57, a law-abiding, indigent, disabled citizen of the United States.Recently I becanle aware of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR)through your article U S Finally Ratifies Human Rights ovenant found on the Carter Centerwebsite. http://www.cartercenter.org/news/documents/doc1369.htmlOctober 23, 2013 I filed a petition for writ of certiorari in the U.S. Supreme Court and invokedthe ICCPR's protection from political persecution by The Florida Bar following the denial ofmyPetition No. 12-7747 for writ of certiorari to the U.S. Sllpreme Court, denied February 19, 2013,and rehearing denied April 15, 2013. The petition resulted from my experience with the courtsand unsuccessful attempts at justice in a civil lawsuit and disability-vocational rehabilitation.Petition No. 12-7747 sought protection of consumers of legal and court services through betterregulation of lawyers, law firms, the practice of law, and state judicial officers affectinginterstate commerce, relying in part on Goldfarb v Virginia State Bar that held lawyers engagein trade or commerce and ending the legal profession's exemption from antitrust laws.In May 2013 Diana R. Esposito, Florida Chief-Assistant Attorney General, provided meincriminating public records showing the Respondents engaged in fraud or impairment ofPetition No. 12-7747, a legitimate governnlent activity (18 U.S.C. 371).I am asking for a referral, an observer in my new petition, due to political persecution towrongfully foreclose my home on a reverse mortgage by McCalla Raymer LLC, wronglyaided by U.S. Judge Wm. Terrell Hodges, Ocala Division, U.S. District Court. Also, an openinvestigation by The Florida Bar ofme for unlicensed practice of law for representing my owninterests pro se, made by Ryan C. Rodems, a partner of law firm that stole $7,143 from mysettlenlent in the Amscot case, which is how this matter got started. Each time I hired subsequentcounsel to represent nle, counsel ultimately betrayed me, as shown in Petition No. 12-7747. Onesuch former counsel is now wrongly threatening to disrupt my Social Security disability benefits.Enclosed you will find my urgent appeal to Gabriela Knaul, Special Rapporteur, Independenceof Judges and Lawyers, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, and to ShuaibChalklen, Special Rapporteur on Disability, United Nations Enable (website), Secretariat for theConvention on the Rights ofPersons with Disabilities, for protection from political persecution,and for an observer, due to fraud or impairment ofPetition No. 12-7747.

As you know the Florida Commission on Human Relations has a role on the ICCPR, although Iam not certain what the FCHR is supposed to accomplish. In 1993 Social Security determinedme totally disabled, and I sought vocational rehabilitation (VR) for a congenital speech disorder.Prior to that time I was self-employed and hired people to do the things I could not. But Vwould not provide services, and said my disability was too severe to result in employment. Imade a complaint ofdiscrimination in 1998, see enclosed the EEOC Charge ofDiscrimination.Also enclosed is my letter September 30, 2013 to FCHR. Since writing that letter I found myfile, although I do not have a response from the FCHR. Back in 1993 V demanded that I pass apsychological test because I sought services for a congenital speech disorder. Recently I wasreading the file, and see two things. First, V discriminated based on my disability by using thewrong assessment. Second, V failed to diagnose mental impairment from a traumatic braininjury I sustained in 1998 when I got mugged in Philadelphia. Mr. Rodems law firm wassupposed to assist me with V in exchange for me being a class representative, but never did so.Enclosed is my current petition for writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court, and a copy ofthe previous Petition No. 12-7747. The U.S. Supreme Court does not accommodate persons withdisability, and I got no response to my request for accommodation. The Supreme Court did notrespond to my request for a guardian ad litem either. Enclosed is my disability request.Previously Justice Thomas granted my Application No. 12A215 to consolidate two appeals andextended time to file to December 10 2012. So what happened after that is troubling. Hopefullyyou can refer someone to observe the proceedings in my new petition. Thank you.

RE: 1998 Charge of Discrimination - Florida Division of Vocational RehabilitationRecords request and request for information updateDear Ms. Wilson:Enclosed is a copy of a Charge of Discrimination - Florida Division of Vocational Rehabilitationfiled by me June 2, 1998. The complaint is addressed to Florida Commission on Human ReI.and EEOC . What was the final outcome on this complaint? This is a request for the caserecords. Also, please update my address, I now live in Ocala Florida.Recently I became aware that a clinical psychologist who evaluated me when I first became aclient of VR was either not licensed by the state of Florida, or used a nickname and failed toprovide his business address in his report. The report itse lf show professional negligence anddisability discrimination, which I only recently came to fully understand. The Department ofHealth is sending me a copy of the licensee's licensure file so I can figure this out. Does this newinformation allow me to make another complaint of disability discrimination against DVR?Thank you in advance for the courtesy of a response.
