Famous Amos

I read through the Bible periodically. (Cover to cover.)

I recently came across this command from God, which I've known was His will. But I had forgotten He said it so succinctly:

"Hate evil, love good;
maintain justice in the courts."

Amos 5:15

Help me help God

This lawsuit has never been about money. It's about principle. Still, I'm asking for $100,000. But not for me.

In my Application for Default, I asked the court to direct Yavapai County to pay three Christian Charities $33,333.33 each.

It turns out that Yavapai County never filed a timely answer to this complaint. Despite a few hints from Judge Sedwick to opposition's lawyer on how to cure this and prevail against me, the Lord frustrated the attorney and Yavapai County still failed to respond. Finally the judge relented and I entered a Motion for Default Judgement.

Unfortunately, I made a mistake that most pro se litigants (and, as I've found, even professional attorneys) make. I forgot to list Yavapai County as a Defendant in my Count of "Failure to Supervise." (i.e., "Failure to state a claim." So the judgment was set aside.

This defect should be easy to cure and what we're arguing in the Ninth right now is whether this pro se litigant should be allowed to amend his complaint. Case law in the Ninth is very strong that "dismissal is a harsh remedy," especially for the pro se litigant. In fact, when I made the EXACT same mistake in my other civil right lawsuit (which I "won,"), the judge in the same federal district DID allow me to amend my complaint.

So, if any lawyers want to help, you'd be doing God's work.

Does anyone know if Mary Hamm is Mormon?
