Widgren and I am representing myself today because the plaintiff is violating my civil rights. I will do my best to present all of my evidence as clearly as I can and follow the courts rules to the best of my ability. Your Honor, the matter that is brought forth before this Honorable Court by Maple Grove Township, a Municipal Corporation, violates Federal Statutes and the Constitution of the United States. I do not, nor have I ever had, a contract with Maple Grove Township, nor does Maple Grove Township have a proprietary or monetary interest whatsoever in my private property. I do not believe that Maple Grove Township has lawful jurisdiction over my private property. It is a principle of law that once challenged, the person asserting jurisdiction must prove that jurisdiction exists as a matter

of law. Title 5 of the US Code, Section 556(d) states When jurisdiction is challenged, the burden of proof is on the government." Also for the record, under UCC (Uniform Commercial Code) 3-505 The party to whom presentment is made, may, without dishonor require (a) exhibition of the instrument, (b) identification of the person making the presentment and evidence of his authority to make it. UCC (Uniform Commercial Code) 3-401 No person is liable on an instrument unless his signature appears thereon. USC Title 42: Civil Rights Section 1982 P Property Rights of CitizensAll citizens shall have the same right to inherit, purchase, lease, hold, and convey real and personal property. USC Title 42: Civil Rights Section 1983 Civil Action for Deprivation of Rights Action at law, suit in equity, or proceeding for redress, may be taken against every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, causes any citizen to be

subjected to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution. USC Title 42: Civil Rights Section 1986 Action For Neglect To Prevent Every person, who, having knowledge or the wrongs conspired to be done, and having power to prevent the same, neglects, or refuses to do so, shall be liable to the injured party for all damages caused by such wrongful act. USC Title 42: Civil Rights Section 241 Conspiracy Against Rights Severe penalties for conspiracy to injure another in their exercise of rights secured by the Constitution. USC Title 18: Civil Rights Section 242 Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law Severe penalties for anyone, who, under color of law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom subjects another to the deprivation of rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution. Maple Grove Township has again brought this matter before this Honorable Court when this

same matter was decided in this very Court, Case Nbr: 3-00140-ON 1, May 27, 2003. The Motion for Dismissal was granted. Maple Grove Township, in their zeal to deny me my civil rights are motivated by their desire to intimidate and persecute me under the color of law.

Article IV (4), The Bill of Rights The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable seizures shall not be violated. Mr. Lenz stated under oath that he trespassed on my property on more than one occasion. Mr. Lenz also trespassed with the State Building Inspector, Mr. Elsie. Both Mr. Lenz and Mr. Elsie did not have my consent to enter my private property nor did they present me with a search warrant. Mr. Beldo, the Assessor on April 12, 2003 has also admitted to trespassing. If the Zoning Administrator, Building Inspector Assessor did not have Legal Authority to enter my property, then any information they obtained without benefit of a search warrant or my

consent was and is illegal. Therefore, all information obtained by the prosecution is to be stricken because of an illegal search.

Article V (5), The Bill of Rights No person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law. 14th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Beech Grove Investment v. Michigan Civil Rights Commission Michigan, 157 North Western Reporter, 2d Series, pgs 213-232 Government jurisdiction does not extend into or onto real or private property. The right to purchase [and hold] property is a fundamental right of citizenship beyond the powers of the States to deny to any citizen.

Property ownership cannot be cause for government to force or coerce title-holder(s) of property to do anything against his or her will. The title-holder has full control over their property and has the right to noninterference from all other parties. Jones v. Mayer Company, 392 U.S. 409 Private property is owned and controlled by private individuals. There is no monetary or proprietary interest that a government, at any level, has in controlling property belonging to a private indivdual. The property owner decides with whom to procure a contract, negotiate, dispose of, or improve property. The property owner has guaranteed full control over his own private property and no ordinance, law or person under the color of law is to interfere with, violate or deprive the property owner this Civil Right. Your Honor, Maple Grove Township, a Municipal Corporation, does not have a contractual, proprietary or monetary interest in my private property. Where is the presentment of, and an agreement to a contract with Maple Grove Township? Where is the Proprietary Interest

of Maple Grove Township to my private property? Where is the Monetary Interest of Maple Grove Township to my private property? Maple Grove Township, along with Mr. Lenz, the Administrator, Mr. Elsie, the Building Inspector and Mr. Beldo, the Assessor have violated my civil rights as I have presented above. Maple Grove Township must show and prove that jurisdiction exists as a matter of law according to Title 5 of the U.S. Code, Section 556(d). I pray for relief, by this Honorable Court, from persecution, coersion and intimidation from Maple Grove Township, Mr. Lenz, Mr. Elsie and Mr. Beldo. I ask this Honarable Court to dismiss this matter, WITH PREJUDICE.
