TO: The Honorable House of Representatives
FROM: Petitioner Representative R. Luther, Belk. 4
DATE: October 17, 2011
SUBJECT: Grievance of Joshua Youssef
Your Petitioner Representative Luther on behalf of Joshua Youssef hereinafter presents the following summary of his grievance and invokes the constitutional authority and duty of the Honorable House of Representatives pursuant to Articles 31 and 32 to bring about redress:
Grievance involving Guardian Ad Litem, Attorney Tracy A. Bernson for filing a fraudulent complaint with the police, making fraudulent complaints to the child's therapist, refusing to withdraw for conflicts of interest, failing to comply with ethical standards and standards of practice for guardians ad litem, misrepresenting and omitting facts, assuming roles beyond her professional capacity, violating certain administrative orders of the court, refusing to disclose records, filing a fraudulent report with the department of health and human services, division of children, youth, and families, publicly misrepresenting Mr. Youssef's family at a divorce mediation seminar and referring to him as a foreigner “without the ability to understand American culture,” refusing to comply with a court order to investigate specific matters, failing to file a final report with the court, and reporting Mr. Youssef for stalking when he asked for the final report and supporting documentation.
Grievance involving Marital Master Nancy Geiger for alienating the child from his father without any finding of abuse or neglect, subsequently ordering Mr. Youssef to finance the reunification process, issuing sanctions in the absence of any violations of rules of discovery, misrepresenting discovery supplementation, creating undue financial burdens, willfully utilizing falsified testimony, issuing ambiguous orders and refusing to grant requests for clarification, denying Mr. Youssef due process of law, refusing to admit certain testimony, failing to maintain decorum in the court, failing to grant Mr. Youssef sufficient or equal time in which to present his case, and exhibiting bias and prejudice against Mr. Youssef.
Grievance involving Judge Ned Gordon and Judge Brackett Scheffy for approving Master Geiger’s orders without proper oversight or judicial review, permitting the alienation of a parent-child relationship without any finding of abuse or neglect, and approving such alienation and violation of Mr. Youssef's parental rights based upon mere hearsay of the guardian ad litem.
Grievance involving Marital Master Leonard Green for unprofessional and rude behavior and for violating the constitutional right of Mr. Youssef to due process of law.
Grievance involving Judge Edwin Kelly, in his capacity as administrative judge for the family division, for failing to provide adequate oversight and supervision of marital masters, misrepresenting the nature of the problems within the judicial branch family division to the general court and news media, failing to train his staff to follow the law and protect the constitutional rights of the litigants and their children, and allowing his administration to do permanent damage to the families in New Hampshire.
Wherefore, your Petitioner prays that the House of Representatives consider this proposed remedy:
1. Forward a complaint against Attorney Tracy A. Bernson from this body to the guardian ad litem board on behalf of Mr. Youssef.
2. Introduce legislation to eliminate any requirement for contracts and guardian ad litem stipulations.
3. Introduce legislation to provide greater supervision and accountability of guardians ad litem, marital masters, and judges in the circuit court family division.
4. Introduce legislation for the appointment of arbitrators in highly conflicted cases.
5. Introduce legislation to remove Article 73-A from the New Hampshire Constitution.
6. Introduce legislation to permit courts to deviate from equal parenting time distribution only in cases where there is clear and convincing evidence of abuse or neglect by one or both parents.
7. Introduce legislation to require the supreme court to adopt rules of evidence for the judicial branch family division.
8. Examine whether impeachment proceedings should be initiated to remove Marital Master Nancy Geiger, Marital Master Leonard Green, Judge Edwin Kelly, Judge Ned Gordon, and Judge Brackett Scheffy.
9. Introduce legislation to require all judges to disassociate themselves from the New Hampshire Bar Association.
.
Respectfully submitted by Petitioner Representative Luther on Behalf of Joshua Youssef.
