Re      Docket 14-080
         Letter from Peekskill Court dated 7-17-14/received 8-27-14 
         Appearance tickets 24774 and 24775 dated 5-31-14     

Good Afternoon Judge T. Lagnan,

Please rescind warrant issued, return monies ($500 + $250) labeled bail posted for a dog leash ticket and dismiss the charges of Disorderly Conduct: Fight/Violent Behavior listed in the notice from the court, which differs from the ticket I received (see attached) which I request be dismissed too.
Currently I am continuing pro se, if unable to resolve the issues myself I will look to retain a private attorney; please remove court appointed attorney, Arthur Schneider, from my case(s) as I did June 5th, 2014; reasons available upon request.

 It is evident by the letter dated June 17, 2014 that I recalled the appearance date as June 17 and was unaware of the July 17, 2014 date.
Due to contact information used by the court different than I again provided (see attached letter) it was impossible for me to be aware of the August 7, 2014 appearance date in a timely manner if at all. 
<Due to actions taken via the Peekskill Post Office as reported to the court I was unable to receive postal mail and provided email and fax for correspondence.  Once I secured a post office box closer to my new residence I had mail forwarded; the request was made August 13, 2014 going into effect this week (see attached).>
It is appropriate to reverse actions, which resulted from non-appearance that was clearly beyond my control.
         Also:
The ticket I received states disorderly conduct with no law cited (see attached); this ticket was given in response to me yelling when the officers dragged me leaving bruises which I reported to the court with video evidence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCcxi-hH9vE&list=UUmy-CCCAg10LOSbNsIGmrbg It does not include the added charge of fight/violent behavior listed in the notice.  Perhaps a mix-up with another file?
The actions of the officers in the video were in response to me taping Randy Gonzalez, (landlords son) stating the hot water was off intentionally. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bOd817ZUi8&list=UUmy-CCCAg10LOSbNsIGmrbg **He and his friends were trespassing when this occurred.**  The complete lack of hot water was reported to several employees at Peekskill City Hall to no avail.
The discrepancy in how the charge was recorded, documents of excessive force via Peekskill Police officers combined with recent actions taken by the court have the potential to put me in grave physical and psychological danger; I beg that you consider the facts I present and reverse your decision(s) that potentially have dangerous repercussions for me.
Also the bail that was associated with the charges in the letter was posted for a dog leash ticket (see attached) I received after repeatedly complaining to ACO Bowman and employees at city hall about abuse via agents of landlord Bruno Gonzalez inflicted on my dogs.  The charge of disorderly conduct I received while protecting my rights was a Released on my Own Recognizance 
* The “bailor” (Warren Cooke) did not receive a copy of this letter as listed in the cc*
Based on reasons that include but are not limited to those listed I again ask the pursued charges be dismissed, and the$500 plus $250 posted by Warren Cooke for dog leash ticket seemingly dismissed returned in full to him at, PO Box 74 Tarrytown NY 10591.

***Numerous times I have requested fair accommodation of PTSD and dyslexia via the Americans with Disabilities Act to proceed in writing.  Documentation of the disabilities as well as the effects stress and especially extreme stress and anxiety have on my cognitive ability have been provided to the court, please advise if I need to resend.  The effect is that I am not able aptly defend my rights and position therefore to deny the request potentially puts me in danger.
Dynamics associated with these issues combined with the current demand that I turn myself over to again be restrained by a group of officers who it is documented inflicted undue force and injury to me again puts my in harms way; especially with how the charge is currently documented.
It is my understanding of the law that if the request is denied I it is in writing with reason(s) to allow me to provide further information if requested.  If I am not being denied then please request any additional documentation, including that I have already provided if necessary.
Please note, to date I have not been permitted to give a statement, nor received a copy of the statements by others regarding these issues - I was told them briefly in front of the court room when I was forced to sign a restraining order by Arthur Schneider to avoid jail. The lack of information prevents me from adequately defending myself again the presented charges and the way it has been presented puts me in danger.
Also, an issue of interest: why are time sensitive letters sent to an invalid PO Box were not returned to the court and available to forward a month later; I renew my complaint with the manner in which the Peekskill Post Office handles mail delivery and intend to include then is list of counter charges if this matter continues.
If additional information is required please to not hesitate to contact me at the above listed information.  Please include with your response any documentation associated with this case that I have not presented including but not limited to statements regarding the issues before the court.
Thank you for your time and attention to these matters

Sincerely,

Michelle Mayer

Re: tickets 2774 and 2775

Dear Honorable Judge Thomas Langan,
I humbly request an adjournment for tickets 24774 dis con and 24775 ‘dog at large’ due before you today, June 17th, 2014, due to illness that prevents me from being away from plumbing comfortably. 
Ticket 24774, disorderly conduct; brought when I got angry with Randy Gonzalez when he again stated that the hot water was off intentionally and he wasn’t turning it on, he called the police who apprehended me when I wanted to play the recording of Randy stating hot water was off intentionally; he did not press charges, the officers did for yelling at 8:30at night when they grabbed me.
The conditions in apartment owned by Bruno Gonzalez violates NYS tenants rights and federal HUD guidelines and regulations for safety, sanitation and privacy as does Fran Brunelle of Peekskill Section 8 in allowing and funding these living conditions.  Since my reaction is being examined it seems appropriate to address the cause(s) too;  I was placed in a positions state and federal laws and regulations prohibit, this is problematic.  I am also concerned the manner in which garbage/old oil are stored and how filter, ventilation and aerosols etc. are handled in the open area directly below the apartments  sleeping and food prep areas combined with lack of hot water preventing effective sanitations is the cause of  my bacterial infection/illness(  I am waiting on lab results).
Conditions in violation of NYS and federal laws and regulations include but are not limited to:
-            6-7 weeks of power tool construction until 4:30 a.m. in the store directly below units
-            No hot water in any of the units most of the time I have lived here; it is my understanding that we are still charged for the hot water because it is produced but does not get to unit due to the flow to unit turned off via a circulation valve
-            Entry without my knowledge or consent, damaging property and once leaving my two smalls dogs outside in 27degrees for over 6 hours,
-            Putrid filth below our sleeping and food prep areas
-            Mail handed by mailman to random employees behind the counter in BnD deli

It is true, handling the issue with Randy the way I did was a bad call on my part and I’m sorry I did it. The conditions that created the reactions were avoidable if the unit was up to HUD standards to allow Mr. Gonzalez to receive the subsidies that he does.
Please order Mr. Gonzalez to turn the hot water tuned back on and Mr. Brunelle of HUD Section 8 honor request chronically repeated over the last three years to allow me to move with the grant It is important to note; if Mr. Brunelle had followed regulations I would not be here to respond to dynamics NYS Tenants rights prohibits nor would I be as sick as I am.
If there is an issue with my request please respond the above listed fax, phone number and/or email to allow me to address the concerns advise in lieu of issuing a warrant.
Please respond with future date and/or any other correspondence to the email and/or temporary fax listed above. 
Due to the manner in which mail is delivered to the apartment I rarely to never get it, three years of complaints to the Peekskill Post Office resulted in them declaring all my mail will be returned to sender and closing the PO Box I would not have had to pay for had the mail been delivered according to federal regulations.  Due to this approach I am currently unable to receive traditional mail, which is causing a problems. (Is the Peekskill Post Office a franchise and not subject to federal regulations?)*
Thank you for your time and attention to these issues.
