Re: Un-received
documents from FOIA request dated 3-20-14
Dear Mr. Fran Brunelle,
To date I have not yet received most of the documents
requested in the FOIA request sent and received on March 20, 2014 (attached for
clarification).
On July 18, 2014 you stated the documents would be emailed/faxed
later that day, they were not received (audio attached for clarification).
The stress of the dynamics I was trapped in caused me to
literally fall on my face while heading for the train directly after speaking
with you resulting in multiple nose fractures (images attached for
clarification). It has not been possible to pursue the necessary facial surgery
because I am under constant threat from officers of the Peekskill Police
Department for complaining about their “friend Bruno and his son”. The last interaction smushed my face
into my table and left me bruised and terrified.
The toll fighting futilely for civil rights within the
system was clear so it seemed wisest to focus on rebuilding self-sufficiency
privately. A benefactor provided me with a year of housing and I believe, with
the artistic skills I possess my if my income Is not re-seized via Health and
Family Services I can do it.
Instead of focusing on rebuilding, since August I have been
fighting harassment via the infrastructure of Peekskill as a result of
complaining conditions including but not limited to months of complete lack of
hot water, unlawful entry, dangerous levels of harassment, manner of mail
delivery, excessive and rotting garbage directly under the unit; all prevented
by the letter of NYS tenant law. This
makes effective planning seemingly.
Please immediately forward to the above listed information:
-
Any/all policies/laws/regulations including related subsections and the
like that effect and /or potententially caused me to be removed from Section 8
-
Policies/laws/regulations
regarding distribution of required recertification documents/paperwork
-
Policies/laws/regulations
including to file a grievance regarding issues with HUD/section 8 staff when
local resolution is impossible
-
Policies/laws/regulations
including related subsections and the like regarding health and safety issues
with rental unit financed via HUD.
-
Itemization
including dates, amounts and party(s) in receipt of funds via section 8 grant
paid in my name since I moved to Peekskill and became involved with your
office.
As requested via
the Freedom of Information Law on March 20, 2014. Please also include:
-
Any all
letters sent to me from October 2013 to present
-
Months I am
charged with being delinquent *note rent in full, $1200, was paid via HUD due
to actions taken against my income via CCDSS and copy of eviction.
-
Policies
that allowed termination from the program while financially eligible due to
complaints regarding dynamics prevented by the letter of the law

Re: letter
Schneider to Mayer dated November 1, 2014
Inappropriate intrusion into personal affairs
Dear
Mr. Schneider,
Today I
received your letter dated November 1, 2014.
Numerous
times the court and your office were made aware that as of July 2014 my
finances no longer qualify me for a tax paid lawyer, a fact you acknowledged in
a letter dated September 27, 2014.
Enclosed with the letter was the deposition and violation information on
file with the court which was the first I had seen them.
Again I
request the following information:
-
Did you file with the court the ADA Accommodation
request and supporting documentation handed to you June 5, 2014 ?
-
Did you inform the court on June 5 that I stated at
the courthouse I did not want your representation after you had me sign a
restraining order in the court room without being permitted to read it or have
a copy and stated you had never heard of the Americans with Disabilities Act?
-
How were hearings scheduled prior to allowing me to
know what charges/allegations were/are?
-
Why was a warrant for non appearance allowed to remain
when thorough documentation was provided showing the notices were sent to
contact information different that I provided via fax to Judge Langan? What more than providing my contact
information am I meant to do to assure I receive time sensitive documents? Was
I meant to receive them?
-
Why were charges listed at Disorderly Conduct/ Fight
Violent Behavior and law violated with the court while ticket does NOT list / Fight Violent Behavior or law violated Please provide a copy of the ticket on file
with the court
-
Why was I not permitted issue a statement the night
the alleged issue occurred?
-
Why have the abuse allegations against Peeksill Police
Department not been acknowledged?
-
Why was a statement proven false prior to being filed
allowed to go on/remain on record?
-
Please IMMEDIATELY
forward any/all documentation regarding any/all matter/issues involving me that
are before the court that you were provided with.
Please note
it seems the alleged charges are invalidated by reasons including but not
limited to those listed above and previously outlined.
Please note
that I do not qualify for a tax paid lawyer and am not privately hiring you therefore
accepting personal information on my behalf or contacting me for any reason
than to provide the requested information will be considered a violation of my
right to privacy and harassment with the intent to torture.
Thank you
in advance for your cooperative response and needed information.
Best,
Michelle

Re:
Docket numbers 14-0806 and 13-0407
Letter
Chief Clerk C. Cardinale to M. Mayer dated September 24, 2014
Dear
Judge Langan,
Please confirm the warrant
for non-appearance was lifted and please advise the status of my request for
dismissal with prejudice of the charges filed on behalf of R. Gonzalez the
Anthony Molea.
In the letter dated
September 24, 2014 from Chief Clerk Cardinale on your behalf she states; once
the warrant is resolved the court may address the pending requests for ADA
accommodation, removal of Arthur Schneider as my attorney and dismissal of the
charges before the court.
Logic dictates the warrant
was lifted in that it was for non-appearance and thorough documentation was
faxed to the court and Mr. Schneider on August 29, 2014 showing the notices
were sent to different contact information than I provided in writing hence not
received until August 27, 2014, 20 days after the August 7th
appearance. I is lucky I received
them at all. If there was
something I was meant to do other than provide the court with current contact
information to assure I receive notices in a timely manner or there are
questions about the documentation provided please advise.
Regarding ADA request, Mr.
Sccjneider and dismissal of charges;
The documentation regarding
my request for fair accommodation via the ADA was provided to the court in
January 2014, and several times subsequently including hand delivered to Arthur
Schneider on June 5, 2014, the day he was appointed. It seems there was ample time to address the request, if I
was meant to do something other than provided written request with doctor’s
documentation please advise.
Arthur Schneider is no
longer my attorney, letters from Mr. Schneider to me dated September 27 and
October 1, 2014 available upon request.
Logic dictates the charges
have been dismissed since the statements made in the violation information and
deposition from May 31, 2014 that I was provided with September 27, 2014 are
contradicted by video and audio evidence provided to the court, I was not
permitted to give a statement and dynamics were created via living conditions
in Mr. Gonzalez’s building that violate numerous NYS tenants rights, HUD and
federal laws and regulations.
Please advise the status of these charges as soon as possible. Also, please send any/all documentation
including but not limited statements and letters related to any charges
involving me before the court other than the violation information and
deposition I am attaching for clarification, it seems obvious there are
documents/letters I have not received and am faulted for not responding to.
Though I prefer to put the
what came with living at 916 Main Street behind me, fending the harassment has
become costly on many levels therefore Please note, if this matter is to
continue I intend to file counter charges and damages against Bruno and Randy
Gonzalez etc.
Thank you for
your time and attention to these matters, I am looking forward to resolving
them in a timely manner
Sincerely,
Michelle Mayer
