Out Of Brooklyn Lyceum Events
-- As we seek to provide programming
for when the Brooklyn Lyceum (or any interim proxy) returns,
we need to see a LOT
of music, theatre, dance, comedy, etc.
-- To that end, we are accepting invitations
to see such work
to investigate if that work (or that group)
would be a good fit for the Lyceum (or any interim proxy).
-- In addition, we are also open to invitations
to see work for an actual written review
(whether or not there is any intent to present at the Lyceum).
We will post the review online, send it to email and social media, where appropriate.
Apply HERE.
-- If that interests you or your group, pursue that at OOBLE.ORG

--Between now and the time the LYCEUM DUE PROCESS TRAIN gets into the station, we are seeking people to help raise awareness.
--Those who help raise awareness can get curatorial votes they can exercise to influence progaramming at the Brooklyn Lyceum or at any interim proxy location.
--You get votes by reviewing a few lines/dates in a few documents and sending us affidavits stating what you see (no conclusions of law necessary).
--You also get votes by appearing at crucial moments/hearings or by distributing fliers.
--Those votes can be exercised, proxied, transferred ore returned (back to the Lyceum in exchange for Lyceum staff hours for a cause on an expanding list of causes).
--If that is too much work, just cast a few votes about what you think about some simple STUPIDS a few judges have accomplished.

GOWANAGUS:
re-programming a
PROCEDURAL DUE PROCESS DEPRIVED Brooklyn theater
as the legal swamp settles.
PROCEDURAL DUE PROCESS DEPRIVED Brooklyn theater
as the legal swamp settles.
Once the court addresses a decision on no notice (DONN) to Brooklyn Lyceum Attorney:
-
a decision which must be overturned as
Plaintiff attorney filed proofs of Brooklyn Lyceum attorney informal appearance to keep case from being declared abandoned
some three years after swearing no appearance by Brooklyn Lyceum
to obtain a decision.
...
the Brookyn Lyceum will be back & needs to hit the swamp running.To that end ... --we are plotting programming now
so that we can implement that programming when we get rolling, whether at the actual Brooklyn Lyceum or an interim one.
--YOU CAN ... participate in programming the Lyceum
by scoring curatorial votes by brain, body or past effort.

Overturning Brooklyn Lyceum Foreclosure case is simple (and inevitable). no more judicial places to run to, baby, no more judicial places to hide*. (*=credits to law of unintended consequences and Martha and the Vandellas)
The Brooklyn Lyceum
had the Foreclosure Plaintiff
DEAD TO RIGHTS (eight years ago)
as case was statutorily abandoned
(more than 365 days from last date for defendant to answer to date of 1st motion)
based solely on the Plaintiff provided record that includes ... Plaintiff implying in motion papers (Oct 2009)
--attached to but not referenced by that Notice of Motion and
--swearing in documents sent to judge (but not filed with court) two years later (Nov 2011)
--and admitted to in papers filed (Oct 2012) in response to
--motion to dismiss complaint as abandoned (Oct 2012)
--and admitted to in oral argument (Oct 2012) the court denies occurred
--but that plaintiff admitted occurred in subsequent papers (Dec 2012)
that Defendants had not appeared or responded in any fashion prior to that initial Motion.
Judge Donald Scott Kurtz
BROKE THE LAW
to let the Plaintiff
continue statutorily abandoned case.
especially given that the Kurtz
used evidence the Plaintiff's
since suspended from the practice of law attorney
withheld in the original motion (Oct 2009)
(but provided to the court
when the motion was challenged (Oct 2012)).
It should be noted
that the years late evidence,
(proof of the Defendants having hired an attorney
who both negotiated an extension of time to answer (April 2008)
& served answers for the Defendants (??? 2009) on the now suspended attorney)
should have caused the judge who has been quoted as saying
“When a case is before me, I try to give it my full attention,” -and-
“Some judges would have just read the papers and signed them,”
to look to see if proper procedure was followed ...
i.e. was an appearing attorney ever served the Notice of Motion &
was that Notice of Motion and all subsequent notices of motions facially sufficient?
(one motion served notice to appear a decade in the past).
Judge Reinaldo Rivera
AIDED AND ABBETED Kurtz by:
--failing to address jurisdictional issues raised at oral argument
when Judge Reinaldo Rivera said
"we will get to the bottom of it"
& "the 2nd department has an excellent reputation"

to support a decision that explicitly went outside the record.
(thereby altering lower docket to insert a Defendant appearance when there was not one on the record.)
(thereby altering lower docket to insert a Defendant appearance when there was not one on the record.)
-- making up a fact (Oct. 17 comes after Oct. 26) to make it seem as if The Brooklyn Lyceum moved too late when there is never any
"too late" date to vacate a decision for lack of jurisdiction (no dispute before the court).
-- using three prongs of a cited case to hurt the Brooklyn Lyceum and failing to address
the one remaining prong (did the Plaintiff fail to serve the oredr in the timeframe specified by the court in the order) which was the thrust of the Brooklyn Lyceum defense to a contempt finding.
-- altering appellate record to make Defendant allege "intrinsic" fraud when
Brooklyn Lyceum appellate papers clearly allege "extrinsic" fraud ... fraud which induces the court to act absent authority.
Judge Janet DiFiore
AIDED AND ABBETED both Kurtz and Rivera by:
-- failing to correct lower appellate court failure to address jurisictionalarguments raised at oral argument &
-- failing to address jurisdictional arguments raised in response to sua sponte motion by the court.
-- dismissing an appeal PRIOR to addressing jurisdictional arguments.
"JUST US" slips into "JUSTICE"?
Ruling threw Plaintiff
into retroactive jurisdictional traps:
-- Plaintiff's admitted failure to serve the Lyceum/Richmond attorney ANY papers.
-- Lower court granting relief not requested in notice of motion.
-- Lower court granting relief not available under statute cited in Notice of Motion.
-- Lower Court granting relief in motion where the referenced supporting documents are not attached/do not exist.
-- Lower Court granting relief in motion noticing parties to appear a DECADE IN THE PAST.
-- Lower Court premising a decision on TWO non-existent sworn statements.

The Lyceum was floored when Appellate Judge Reinaldo Rivera made up a fact (Oct. 17 is after Oct. 26) after stating at the Lyceum Oral Argument on Sep. 26, 2018, that the 2nd dept. would "get to the bottom" of things because "the 2nd dept. has an excellent reputation".
To stop this madness, we endeavor to review all (2018-2020) Appellate Oral Arguments and review papers and decisions to document such malfeasances and outright lies by the Appellate Court.

(19 topics and counting).
In order to rule against the Brooklyn Lyceum, Judge Reinaldo Rivera found that the Lyceum must lose
because a cross-motion to have the case declared abandoned by Plaintiff inaction came after the entry of the Judgment of Foreclosure and Sale.
The DECISION IS STUPID because it is makes a case the court was REQUIRED, by statute, to dismiss as abandoned by Plaintiff inaction
can become unabandoned by further Plaintiff action combined with the Court's failure to follow the statute.
The DECISION IS FLAT OUT WRONG on the simple, 5th grader math comparison of two dates.
The Cross-Motion (October 19, 2012) came BEFORE, not AFTER the entry of the Judgment of Foreclosure and Sale (October 26, 2012).
Review a line in a short Appellate Decision(Page 3 last Para, lines 2-3#):
