-- 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.
-
to do what Judge Donald Scott Kurtz was required by law to do:
(dismiss case as abandoned, based on record before the court at the time), or, - to do what the court must now do:
(unwind the Foreclosure Sale of the Brooklyn Lyceum as well as the Judgment of Foreclosure and Sale that allowed it for, at a minimum, failure to serve any papers on Lyceum attorney)
given what Judges Reinaldo E. Rivera, John M. Leventhal, Sylvia O. Hinds-Radix and Valerie Brathwaite Nelson did do
(find October 17, 2012 came AFTER October 26, 2012 & alter the docket to insert appearance by Lyceum attorney in order to avoid dismissal as abandoned)
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
score curatorial votes by brain, body or past effort.
-
Simple things to do to help the Lyceum due process cause:

(or any interim proxy)
-- Wherever the Lyceum or any interim proxy goes,
art is sure to be part of the mix.

at the Brooklyn Lyceum (or any interim proxy),
we need to seek submissions for the exhibits.
-- To that end, we are accepting submission appications now.
- One such exhibit may be in :
- an approximately 1,000 square foot venue
with 25 foot ceilings in New York State. - (location secret till we sign lease)

from our espresso cellar!
-- 15 years of a Brooklyn theatre/coffee shop/cafe and the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy taught us that there is another, better, more ecological, way to get the most out of your espresso.
-- When the espresso dusts dust settles, the new boss may well be different than the old boss.
--Till then we are pulling espresso shots the SwaSlu way, on the muddy road again!
--We make it a point not to be a roaster and will be highlight a cornucopia of espresso roasts at some home bases, some events, some markets and some fairs.

(judicial "thumb on the scale" (Donald Scott Kurtz) or not).
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)
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.
to let the Plaintiff
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).
when Judge Reinaldo Rivera said
"we will get to the bottom of it"
& "the 2nd department has an excellent reputation"
(thereby altering lower docket to insert a Defendant appearance when there was not one on the record.)
-- 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.
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.

how can you trust those judges with things that are complicated?
Take a look at some crystal clear STUPIDS and tell us what you think of a judge who would do these types of STUPIDS.
We are seeking 100 citations (in any jurisdiction) to support each of the premises that will set the Brooklyn Lyceum free.
If you are first to subit an on point case (even if it contradicts our position), you will earn, if you leave your email address, one Brooklyn Lyceum Curatorial vote.
Review a couple of dates or a couple of lines in some documents or note the absense of a document from a short record and sign an affidavit that you swear to. Just the facts, no conclusions necessary.
Send us the affidavit(s) and, if they are true to form and content, you will earn some Lyceum street cred via curatorial voting rights you can use, transfer or exchange (ten (10) votes for each accepted affidavit and one (1) vote for each use of the affidavit in court papers).
To that end, if you appear at specified junctures, just as an observer, you will get twenty (20) votes.
Lastly, we may need to have fliers distributed at places out and about.
To that end, for each hour of flier distribution, you will get ten (10) votes.
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.
Judge Donald Scott Kurtz
“Some judges would have just read the papers and signed them,”
Judge Reinaldo Rivera
“we will get to the bottom of this”
“the 2nd department has an excellent reputation”
"we will get to the bottom of it"
"due process is notice and opportunity to be heard"
you have to know what rules you can break
in a topic Kurtz and/or Rivera and/or Rivera and/or Cohen screwed up
(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#):
"The cross motion was untimely since it was made after entry of the judgment of foreclosure and sale "
Review Motion Clerk date on the Cross-Motion (October 19, 2012) :
Motion Support hand-written date: 10/19/12 AND adjacent datetime stamp of October 22, 2012
Review Date-Time stamp on the Judgment of Foreclosure and Sale (October 26, 2012).
Last Page DateTime Stamp: October 26, 2012
An Affidavit about these STUPIDs we hope you will sign:
Affidavit you saw that the datetime stamp of the Cross-Motion was BEFORE, not AFTER, the Judgment of Foreclosure.
IMPOSSIBLE MATH FINDING: 19>26!
CLERK ACCEPTED CROSS-MOTION ON OCTOBER 19, 2012
JUDGMENT OF FORECLOSURE ENTERED OCTOBER 26, 2012.
Any 5th Grade fool could see (19<26) Affidavit

Out Of Brooklyn Lyceum Events
While we prep for the inevitable return of the Brooklyn Lyceum, the need, nee urge, to see culture in the wild still burns.
If you want to throw us a couple of tickets to an event, we will endeavor to write a review and publish it online at ooble.org, and, if it is a generally positive review, it might get sent out to some social networks and maybe email.
Generally interested in things from Washington DC, to Maine.
Who knows, if we like it you may hear from us when the Brooklyn Lyceum returns.

Captain Kirk would have a tough time with Brooklyn Courts
Star Trek's Captain Kirk re-programmed a Star Fleet Academy simulation that was designed to have the Star Fleet candidate either lose his ship, himself and all his crew in battle or lose a freighter (the Kobayashi Maru) in the Neutral Zone.
That was a situation no one could win, a Catch-22. In Brooklyn Courts we have a worse situation, judges re-programming (altering) the docket to avoid what the record and the abandonment statute, CPLR 3215(c) required, dismissal of the case as abandoned.
The Brooklyn Lyceum, aka Public Bath #7 (by Raymond Francis Almirall), a community fixture for 20 years as a theater / cafe / gym / batting cage, needs your help, a couple of affidavits, and, if it works with your schedule, an appearance here and there to let the courts know someone is watching.
The courts (lower and appellate), in an ill advised attempt to short circuit due process for the Brooklyn Lyceum (made up multiple dispositive facts, selectively quoted caselaw, altered the docket for the benefit of the Plaintiff, ignored attorney perjury, ...), created a winnable battle for the Brooklyn Lyceum in that, under the altered record:
- Plaintiff failed to serve initial Notice of Motion (or any papers whatsoever) on Lyceum Attorney.
- Plaintiff Notice of Motion cites, as the required document, an affidavit that does not exist.
- Plaintiff Notice of Motion dated October 13, 2009 cites non-existent, and impossible, October 26, 2009 Affidavit.
- Plaintiff Notice of Motion asks for relief (Judgment of Foreclosure and Order of Reference) under a statute that does not allow for Judgment of Foreclosure or Order of Reference.
- Decision by Judge Donald Scott Kurtz is premised on two affidavits that do not exist, one cited to by the Plaintiff in the motions papers, and, one out of whole judicial cloth.
- Same Decision grants relief not requested in Motion (Judgment of Default) and relief not available under the statute presented as the basis for the Motion (Order of Reference).
- Another Notice of Motion, to foreclose on the Lyceum, notices everyone on March 18, 2011, to attend a hearing on April 17, 2001, A DECADE IN THE PAST!!
HERE IS HOW YOU CAN HELP:
- Read, and mentally process, all the tabs. We know it will take some effort, but the payoff is worth it. If you already believe us and want to dig right in, read and become one with the 4 RED tabs.
- Sign & send a couple of affidavits regarding what you have processed regarding the bullet points above.
- If it works with your schedule, show up at a hearing on occasional basis.
- Or, if direct participation is not your bag, buy things from brooklynlycem.com/viewart or roxysteeparlour.com .
- Or, if you just want to help in the least involvement way possible, give $$ to the cause (https://brooklynlyceum.com/viewart/5) that may entail a new attorney and two projects to help keep this from happening to other people.
THE PAYOFF: Convert your affidavits and our use of your affidavits or your appearance at some hearings or your contributions into curatorial voting rights when the Brooklyn Lyceum rises from the ashes. Help program a venue that has seen the likes of Fiona Apple, Amanda Palmer, Vernon Reid, Yo La Tengo,
Marc Ribot, Jose Gonzalez, and scores of others.
