QUESTIONS PRESENTED
If one is entitled to update a land patent, is there a time of day, time of year,
season, weather event, or anything that would bar the update?
Does treaty Law and Constitutionally secured Rights fall under federal
jurisdiction?
Do court procedures, rules and codes carry superiority to treaty Law and
Constitutionally secured Rights and negate the force and effect of a patent?
If the land patent has legal authority can any lesser court rule on the force and
effect of the land patent?
If a land patent maintains its' lawful authority and the people can be sanctioned
for updating a patent, ought not public servants and attorneys be sanction for
attempting to eviscerate the patent, violating their oath?

STATEMENT OF THE CASE
The issue being brought to the Supreme Court of the united States is a
action to the State Court and the Petitioner moved the action to the District
Court. The District Court ruled no jurisdiction and Petitioner appealed to the
Federal Appellate Court. The appellate court also ruled no jurisdiction and
denied rehearing. The Courts ruling conflicts with the Supreme Court rulings,
"Being the absolute legal title to land, the land patent, derived from the
U.S. Constitution, makes the United States of America a party of
interest in any attack on that title in courts of law. The only court of
original and proper jurisdiction is the Supreme Court of the United
States. The lesser federal courts cannot rule on the force and effect of
the patent. They must abide by the legislative intent" [quoting David
Johnson. secretary. Oakland Citizens for Justice, quoting corpus juris
secundum].
Rather than dismiss the case, which is what the Petitioner was asking of
the Court, the Court took jurisdiction to remand the case back to the State.
State may have jurisdiction if the matter was a landlord v. tenant issue, a
property line or easement dispute, oil or gas lease etc. The U. S. Supreme Court

History: The State Court ordered a foreclosure and sheriff sale despite the title to
the land being a "land patent." Eventually the Petitioner went to the District
Court with a "Motion to Void." The Respondent failed to answer the Motion and
after about five months the District Court ordered the Respondent to respond.
Around the same time the Respondent commenced an ejectment action in the
State Court. Petitioner moved the ejectment in plenty of time and attempted to
join the action with the Motion to Void. The District Court than invoked Rooker-
Feldman on the Motion to Void and in a footnote of that order returned the
ejectment action and said it had to come as a separate complaint. By the time the
Petitioner moved the ejectment action again, days have run and it was four days
late. In the second removal to federal court the Petitioner forgot to check mark
the $75,000 block on the civil cover page. Even though the amount is mentioned
in the Petitioners brief, the attorney for the Respondent stated that Petitioner
Respondents' attorney had called the Courts attention to the lack of check
mark in which the Court relied on. That is an attempt by Respondent's attorney
to cloud or prevent disclosure of the amount. That is deemed bad faith. The
amount is the amount regardless. The District Judge Mariani signed both
-
6
Orders, the Motion to Void and the Ejectment and returned the first removal.
The Court knows the amount in controversy and is entitled to rely on the
previous matter and again it is addressed in the Petitioner's brief. Rule 1446
3(B) addresses removal more than one year after commencement of the action. If
a case can be moved one year later, what is the big deal with the four days, which
inconvenienced no one? The same Court andJudge granted the Respondent much
months. The Judge even ordered Respondent to respond and allowed three extra
weeks. Months and three weeks compared to four. days. This Supreme Court
The Courts are focused on codes, rules and procedures rather than Law
and the Constitution. The District Court addressed the land patent and relied on
some erroneous opinions of other Courts. The Appellate Court ignored the land'
patent. In light of the land patent, the issues addressed above are
inconsequential because the land patent is the trump card protected by treaty
and the supremacy clause of the Constitution. The Petitioner came to the Court
to defend the land patent which is, superior title and its superiority not changed
7
with a valid Federal statute". In effect, this means that a State law
will be found to violate the Supremacy Clause when either of the
following two conditions (or both) exists:
Compliance with both the Federal and State laws is impossible
State law stands as an obstacle to the accomplishment and
execution of the full purposes and objectives of Congress.
The Issue. The Petitioner is in possession of the said property in this instant
matter and has perfected the original patent from March 16, 1812.
This is notice of Our Pre-emptive Right to possess Our land pursuant to the
Britain [8 Stat. 80], Treaty of Paris [1793], An Act of Congress [3 Stat. 566, April
24, 1824], The Homestead Act [12 Stat. 392, 1862] and 43 USC sections 57, 59,
and 83. This is Our formal Declaration that this process is lawfully executed and
An over- sized certified copy of the original patent along with the entire update

said, "In fact, any instrument may constitute color of title when it
purports to convey the title to the land, as well as the land itse1f,
although it is void as a muniment of title."
"Muniment" means document serving as evidence of inheritances, title to

may also fall under state jurisdiction but the force and effect of the land patent,
being in the private, falls with the jurisdiction of the united States Supreme
Court.

interest for a military base, easement, railroad, highway, etc. The only question is
who is holding superior title. The patent is exclusive rights and states so within

the four corners of the document. The party holding the land patent is entitled to
possession and that is the Petitioner in this instant matter. Respondent cannot
prove title and the Petitioner did not sign away any rights to the land patent.

REASONS FOR GRANTING THE PETITION
Decision by the District Courts and Appellate Courts are in conflict with
the U. S. Supreme Court. The courts are also misapplying protections afforded to
the people of these united States of America through treaty and the constitution.
land patent it has led to the sovereign people of these united States of America
Right and Rights granted by treaty. Evidence of this is in the following opinion
Judge Lees' ruling in Hilgeford v. Peoples Bank which was approximately two
months previous to Nixon v. Individual Head of St. Joseph which is also a Judge
Lee ruling. Judge Lee relies on his own ruling two month later in Nixon v.
Individual.
Judge Lee writes in Nixon v. Individual Head of St. Joseph Mortg. Co., 612 F.
Supp. 253 (N.D. Ind. 1985).
12
the swift response of this court. The court hopes that this clear signal
will discourage others from following such false prophets.
Notice Judge Lee is saying anyone disbursing frivolous materials and arguments
is a false prophet and individuals damaged by the use of these materials have a
claim to damages.
Supreme Court rulings, treaty Law, legal writings, the Constitution, the four
corners of the Land Patent document, the motivation and intent of the founding
fathers and the intent of congress. Does the Supreme Court agree with Judge
Lee and support a law suit against the authors and signers of these documents?
Land patent derive from treaty Law and the Constitution. The will and
intent of congress regarding land patents has never been repealed. Land patents
The Supreme Court of the united States of America must address two rulings
that conflict with treaty Law, the Constitution, U.S. Supreme Court rulings and
13
the intent of congress. Judge William C. Lee ruled on two cases approximately
two months apart in 1985. The first was Hilgeford v. Peoples Bank and the
second was Nixon v. Individual Head of St. Joseph Mortg Co. Although Judge
Lee maybe correct in some parts of his opinion much of it is rooted in emotion and
ignorance of the law. He loses sight of the 10th Amendment, summarized says
anything not enumerated is left up to the people. Judge Lee states that once a
land patent is granted the government extinguished its title to the land and the
title is in the private. Judge Lee eventually contradicts what he correctly claims
but provides no law to substantiate his contradiction. Without providing the law
Judge Lee invalidates the process to update the one and only patent that can ever
be issued on the land. He has no basis for expressing his opinion contrary to law
and sanctioning the people of these united States of America. No law exists to
provide any credibility to Judge Lees' opinion. It is not the people's fault that the
attacks. It is not the people's fault that a patent exists in the historical record of
their property. It is not the people's fault that there is such a thing as a color of
title instrument. It not the people's fault that a land patent is superior title to the
warranty deed. It is not the people's fault that no law exists that prevents the
people from embracing and perfecting the patent. it is not the people's fault that
the U.S: Supreme Court has ruled that a patent is superior title. It is the people's
fault that they are allowing public officials to disregard their Rights secured by
the Constitution to which attorneys, judges, sheriffs and public servants take an
14
oath to protect and defend.
however, the indestructability of the land patent and the attack on it, has
28 U.S.C. § 1441 (b). Any civil action of which the district courts
have original jurisdiction founded on a claim or right arising under
the Constitution, treaties or laws of the United States shall be
removable without regard to the citizenship or residence of the
parties.
(e) The court to which such civil action is removed is not precluded
from hearing and determining any claim in such civil action because
the State court from which such civil action is removed did not have
jurisdiction over that claim
The -District Court cited the following cases which at times have made erroneous
County of Oneida, 414 U.S. 661, 676, (1974); Hilgeford v. Peoples Bank, 776 F.2d
176, 178 (7th Cir. 1985) and DeBiasse v. Chevy Chase Bank Corp, 144 Fed. App's
Oneida Indian Nation v. County of Oneida, 414 U.S. 661, 676, (1974);
"Accepting the premise of the Court of Appeals that the case was
essentially apossessory action, we are of the view that the! complaint
asserted a current right to possession conferred by federal law,
wholly independent of state law." "In the present case, however, the
assertion of a federal controversy does not rest solely on the claim of
a right to possession derived from a Federal Grant of Title whose
scope will be governed by state law. Rather, it rests on the not
15
insubstantial claim that federal law now protects, and has
continuously protected from the time of the formation of the United
States, possessory rights to tribal lands, wholly apart from the
application of state law principles which normally and separately
protect a valid right of possession." The Supreme Court held that
there is federal subject matter jurisdiction for possessory land claims
brought by Indian tribes based upon aboriginal title, the
Nonintercourse Act, and Indian treaties.
Of course this ruling involved the Indian nation. All Land Patents derive from
treaty Law and are constitutionally protected and the same Rights are vested.
The District Court relied on the dissenting opinion in the case which said this
finding does not open the door of the federal courts to garden variety ejectments.
Again, this instant matter is a possessory claim. This is not a landlord v. tenant
The courts are not recognizing the difference between the actual ruling of
the Supreme Court and a notice that all land issues are not federal.
DeBiasse v. Chevy Chase Bank Corp, 144 Fed. App's x 245, 247 (3rd Cir. 2005)
The Court states here that Debiasse raised no challenge to the original grant. The
inference is if Debiasse did raise a challenge to the original grant than federal
16
jurisdiction may have been invoked. The land patent doesn't estoppel a
foreclosure action which is a different action from an ejectment action. The land
Hilgeford v. Peoples Bank, 776 F.2d 176. 178 (7th Cir. 1985)
Judge Lee here acknowledges that the patent may be passed to someone else.
This is obvious since it states on the patent "to heirs and assigns forever". (The
years 1913, 1933 and 2018 are all in the forever time frame). However, Judge
Lee doesn't understand that to convey the "updated patent" to some other party
one must first perfect the patent (bring it forward) in order to convey an update.
Otherwise one would just be conveying a deed and that receiving party would
The patent was overlaid by a PUBLIC VENUE DEED and no law can be
found allowing this to occur. Judge -Lee overlooks this aspect. If and when the
have to have Sossession of the property. That would ultimately look like a self-
serving document to anyone not understanding the process to perfect the patent.
17
"He signed a patent to himself' will continue to be the mantra from the
explanation.
Once the Patent was granted, it was granted. By Judge Lee's own
admission the patent exists and the government relinquished all rights. It is not
the creation or the granting of a new patent to oneself. Judge Lee stated above;
patent." This is Judge Lees' admission that the Hilgeford's are updating the
valid Patent. Judge Lee doesn't realize he just proclaimed it valid and then goes
original or a certified copy of the original patent would reside behind the
perfected update of patent. This is not a new patent but an update. A simple
wouldn't be issued, you would just own the patent rights to make the product.
has the power to change or dispose of the patent. The authority was not given to
18
Judge Lee, only to Congress.
Art. IV, Sec. 3, clause. 2 gives the Congress the power "to dispose of
and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory
or other property belonging to the United States...."
The acceptance of the Deed is part of the process. In the deed the property
owner is signing for the PUBLIC VENUE UPPER CASE NAME and signing for
the sovereign natural individual in the private venue. When the courts have
seen these two signatures they follow Judge Lees' erroneous opinion and make
the same frivolous claim that "he signed a land patent to himself." The courts
don't know or maybe are ignoring the difference between the two venues. The
Petitioner tried everything to explain the difference in the venues but, a read of
the Report and Recommendation it is clear the Court didn't understand. Land
Patents are exclusive rights and in the private. One just has to ask how one
would maintain exclusive vested Rights with two titles floating around. It is an
erroneous opinion not even rooted in common sense or the law and patently
frivolous.
Update, Non Pro Tunc, the Constitution and the Doctrine of Relationship Back.
Judge Lee undermines the lawful mandate to perfect the patent and many
Supreme Court rulings and he doesn't consider the fact that the government
relinquished all rights to the patent in the private venue not public like the
INCORPORATED COURTS.
19
Section 4; the 4th, 7th, 9th, and 10th Amendments [United States
Constitution 1789-91], and numerous legislated positive laws, to
update the Land Patent by acknowledgment, taking delivery,
accepting, taking possession, occupying, and bringing forward the
land patent into the grantee/assignee's name. This is the only
lawful method that Perfect Title can be held in our names. For
explanation see Wilcox v. Jackson 13 PET. U.S. 498, 101 ED. 264.
In Hilgeford v. Peoples Bank, 776 F.2d 176, 178 (7th Cir. 1985) the Court
goes on to say;
20
jurisdiction. On appeal, the Hilgeford's have completely failed to
support their claim of jurisdiction by citing relevant authority or by
refuting the district court's analysis.
Even though the Hilgeford's may not have supported their jurisdiction claim in
argument, Judge Lee gave a frivolous and erroneous explanation of the process
the Hilgeford's completed to perfect the patent. The jurisdiction claim is in the
four corners of the land patent itself in which Judge Lee proclaimed as valid
while ruling as if it wasn't valid. No law can be found mandating that the patent
be converted to a deed or that one is not allowed to update the patent. If there is
one Judge Lee doesn't cite it. Again, Judge Lee ignores this fact and sanctions
the Hilgeford's for exercising a right supported by and secured to them and the
people of these united States of America through the Constitution, treaty Law
Approximately two months later District Judge Lee rules again in Nixon v.
Individual Head of St. Joseph's Mortgage Co. 612 F. Sup-P. 253 (N.D. Ind. 1985).
Judge Lee claims the two cases are identical except in name and cites his
Hilgeford ruling.
21
patently obvious attempt to create superior title in land through
personal fiat. Any pro se litigant who can read or write knows that
one cannot give oneself better title to land by simply saying so on a
piece of paper.
The land patent, patently is a superior title and it is a piece of paper. The
paper. To believe what Judge Lee is saying one would also have to ignore the
four corners of the document, the definition of patent' and the lawful mandate to
update a patent. Again, the valid patent already exists and this is indisputable
[Hughes V. Miller's Mutual Fire Insurance Co., 246 s.w. 23 (1923)1 "it
is the largest estate in land that the law will recognize, a fee simple
estate still exists even though the property is mortgaged or
encumbered"
Although it might feel emotionally good Judge Lees' opinion has no lawful
backing. One time the Petitioner heard a judge say something to the effect---if a
judge feels good every time he makes a decision, he is probably not doing his job.
22
"the court cannot conceive of a potentially more disruptive force in the
world of property law than the ability of a person to get 'superior' title
to land by simply filling out a document granting himself a 'land
patent' and then filing it with the Recorder of Deeds"
The grant was given by the U. S. government and is the intent of our founding
fathers. This is not the Petitioner's fault that the founding fathers didn't like
being subjected to a kings will and emotion which led them to create such a
document. The people of these united States are the beneficiary of their sacrifice.
Our founders risked their lives, their families lives and their fortunes to establish
forces of the banks and government. Jefferson said banks are dangerous. In a
May 28th 1816 letter to John Taylor, Thomas Jefferson's wrote in the closing
sentence; "And I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more

The people have a right to protect and defend their life, liberty and property. The
land patent is a lawful document to defend one's property. The judge and

work against those Rights, that is treason against the sovereign people. Judge

Stat. 137, c. .1876, § 22) relating to the allotment in severalty of thelands of the
Creek Nation, the leasing and alienation thereof after allotment, the making of
allotments to the heirs of deceased children, and the rights of the heirs,
collectively and severally, under such allotments; but the bill makes no mention
of those statutes or of any controversy respecting their validity, construction or
effect. Neither does it by necessary implication point to such a controversy. True,
it contains enough to indicate that those statutes constitute the source of the
complainant's title or right, and also shows that the defendants are in some way
claiming the land, and particularly the oil and gas, adversely to him; but beyond
this the nature of the controversy is left unstated and uncertain. Of course, it could
have arisen in different ways wholly independent of the source from which his
title or right was derived. So, looking only to the bill, as we have seen that we
must, it cannot be held that the case, as therein stated was one arising under the
statutes mentioned. As was said in Blackburn v. Portland, Gold Mining Co., supra,
a controversy in respect of lands has never been regarded as presenting a Federal
question merely because one of the parties to it has derived his title under an act
of Congress.
Above it states that the controversy is uncertain and unstated. The matter is about a
lease for the oil and natural gas under the property. This case is inappropriately relied on by
Judge Lee.

The suit before us is not to decide what property rights in navigable lakes
Wisconsin acquired when it was admitted to the Union in 1848. For that matter,
defendants concede that when Wisconsin became a state it acquired the rights it
asserts in this suit. Rather, the State claims that it continues to hold in trust for the
public the same property rights it acquired in 1848 and that defendants are
infringing those rights. That claim "arises under" federal law, however, only if
federal law continues to govern property rights in the beds and waters of
navigable Wisconsin lakes. It does not. The grant of statehood to Wisconsin was a
grant both of property rights and of sovereign power. In 1848 the United States
conveyed to Wisconsin property interests in navigable waters and the power to
determine by its own laws the future course of ownership of those interests.
"After a State enters the Union, title to the land [under navigable waters] is
governed by state law.."
This is a case not about ownership of land but rather if the federal or state government
govern the waterways in Wisconsin. Another case improperly relied on. The Petitioner can
go on and on with such cases where the claim was made that no federal jurisdiction exists.
The following are some case citation the Petitioner has relied on including many more
in a "Memorandum of Land Patents" in the record in the Middle District Court of Pa.
[Hooper et.al.v.5cheimer, 64 U5. (23 how.) 235 (1859)1. "I affirm that a
patent is unimpeachable-at law, except, perhaps, when it appears on
its own face to be void; and the authorities on this point are so uniform
and unbroken in the courts, federal and state, that little else will be necessary
beyond a reference to them."
[Walton v. United States, 415 f2d 121,123 (10th cir. (1969)1 "a patent, once
issued, is the highest evidence of title, and is final determination of the existence
of all facts,"
Fenn v Holme, 21 Howard 481 (1858). "The plaintiff in ejectment must in all
cases prove the legal title to the premises in himself, at the time of the demise laid
in the declaration, and evidence of an equitable title will not be sufficient for a
26
recovery. The practice of allowing ejectments to be maintained in state courts
upon equitable titles cannot affect the jurisdiction of the courts of the United
States."
Should one of the sovereign people of the united States of America stand on the
Constitution, treaty Law, Supreme Court rulings, the intent of congress and other legal
writings of which one is the beneficiary and defend their property, which one has the right,
against a sheriff and his troops, (whom took an oath of office), which party would be
considered the perpetrator? Would it not be treason to violate the sovereign' people's Rights
secured by Treaty and the Constitution? The definition of treason according to Merriam-
Webster; the offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to
which the offender owes allegiance or to kill or personally injure the sovereign or the
sovereign's family.
Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, (1966). "Where rights secured by the
Constitution are involved, there can be no rule making or legislation, which
would abrogate them."
United States v. Bishop, 412 U.S. 346 (1973). "If you've relied on prior decisions
of the Supreme Court you have a perfect defense for willfulness."
CONCLUSION
The people ought not be criminally sanctioned because they did something
the U. S. Constitution protects. The Court must consider the sword cut both
27
ways. John Adams, a founding father gave direction to the Court and to the
people who love this great Republic. "The two enemies of the people are criminals
and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution
so the second will not become the legalized version of the first." John Adams 2nd
president of the United States It is incumbent on the united States Supreme Court to
defend the Constitution of the unites States, laws and documents that protect the God Given
Rights of the people of these united States of America from attacks by public servants and
others.
