PAST IMPORTANT NOTES & UPDATES
On 7/19/04 I was in the Federal Court filing a TRO to save my Persians from the continuing refuse of the Animal Rescue League to adiquetly provide veterinary care. They were slated to be euthanized because of a lack of proper veterinary care by their unlawful captors they were experiencing neglect and there was an Order to euthanize them! I was standing at the counter of the Federal District Court filing my emergency motions and at the same time the ACLU stood there asking for Judge Gernter, to hear there case about protesters who were be told to stand back while at the Democatic National Convention. I told them Nancy Gernter lacked compassion and only cared about who you were. They immediately smiled and said yea "were counting on that", "we'll get noticed were the ACLU." The Judge handling emergency case was Judge Woodlock, we both were assigned him. My case was docketed 04-CV-11607 theirs 04-CV-11608 I was pleading irreparable harms upon my Persians lives, I placed several recent photos denoting the terrible conditions my Persians were being exposed to at the Animal Rescue League in addition to the autopsy reports on my Persians proving enough proof of their suffering, tortured and neglect caused by their current caregivers - the Animal Rescue League. There was enough proof to issue an immedaite Order!. But Judge Woodlock decided to my issues and the lives of my beloved Persians didnt count! While the ACLU pleading first amendment and that they wanted protesters to get closer to the DNC to place all delegates and Bostonians are greater risk of security breaches and more likely so that the media could get a ear full of persons protesting against Bush, angry antiwar demonstrations, hostile, unrestrained exhibitionists.
While I and the ACLU asked for an immediate hearings, and preliminary injunctions: mine to save the lives and suffering of my gentle Persian - the ACLU's arguments clearly placed everyone who lived in Boston or viewed the TV broadcasts of the DNC at greater risk to their personal safety, especially Boston's guests the delegates.
Despite the solid facts that not only my personal interests were severally compromised and that the Persians had been unlawfull retained while my 4th Amendments right violation from police misconduct and unlawful state actions, my property being at severe risk of continued harm without immediate intervention from the courts, the fact that my personal rights and constitutional guarantees deprived and my beloved gentle Persians suffering, not to mention my own severe suffering worrying about them - Judge Woodlock ignored my pleadings. Instead he devoted much time to the obvious ACLU disenguious pleadings made to address the media and give attention to Keery's slashing of Bush's war efforts.
Judge Woodlock granted the ACLU two hearings, and personally toured the DNC area one afternoon with the media. My god he knows what the Fleet Center, Causeway Street area looks like, and if he needed measurements photos could tell him.
Woodlock has done nothing to hear my case, hear my pleadings nor restrain those who are depriving my of Persians of necessary medical treatment and husbandry, nor require those who are unlawfully retaining my Persians from answering. The mistreat of my Persians continued unrestrained placing them at great risk of continued suffering, and euthanasia. My beloved Persians are gentle creatures totally dependant on their caregiver, be deprived human contact, longing for my lap, disregarded my suffering and pain and my property for a group of persons who placed everyone at greater risk by the allowances Judge Woodlock condoned and Ordered! Judge Woodlock acted not only inhumanely, but unjustified, he has a duty to act to protect my constitutional guarantees and he refuses! allows little gentle creatures to continue to suffer while I struggle to get a competent veterinarian in to treat them.
Delegates have said that this year is the first time
that protesters have been allowed to get so close! And we are at war, have threats and because of the
DNC named a target Judge Woodlock's decision irresponsible, despite all this Woodlock rules in favor of the ACLU, its not because of the facts
its because of who was influential.

horrendous assault upon Ms. Erickson's life from the unbridled city officials.

On 5/25/04 Judge Flynn, Waltham District ALLOWS Motion to Suppress and Return of Persians. Judge Flynn noted:Against the
background [of the police officer's initial entry and his previous encounter with the news crews outside of Ms. Erickson's
Watertown apartment] the odor provided no indication of a particular emergency and was in fact equally consistent with
information provided earlier to the officer by television crews on the premise, that the resident was allegedly harboring
an excessive number of cats with such notoriety that the television camera crews were present. [P]rior to their entry, the police
knew only that Ms. Erickson was not answering her door, that there was a[n] [alleged] foul odor and that her back apartment door was not
not properly latched. Warrantless police entries of a home are highly disfavored.
Within 48 Hrs. US Federal Ct. Retaliates, very upset for Erickson filing in the Supreme Ct. to have
its actions reviewed! Erickson states she cannot get justice in Massachusetts Courts!
On 5/3/04 Attorney Loh files a Motion for Reconsideration asking Judge Ford to review and reconsider
her findings regarding the entry reasons given by the Police Officer on Beacon Hill who claimed he initially entered Ms. Erickson's apartment because
he believed there to be a "sudden" claiming his entry was allegedly motivated by his concern for Ms. Erickson being injured or dead and therefore an "emergency". Based on the officer's testimony, he entered Ms. Erickson's
apartment then left radioed to Boston Police Communications and then entered again to removed
the dog without obtaining a warrant and re-entered numerous additional times before the cats were removed
letting the Boston Animal Control
into her apartment thereafter to retrieve the cats. Police officer testified that he at no time he make entire sweep of the 1 bedroom apartment his statements
about the concern for Ms. Erickson's safety disingenuous and inconsistent with an alleged emergency by leaving nearly 1/2 of Ms. Erickson's
apartment "unchecked" including her bedroom, bathroom and courtyard for her allegedly injured and/or dead body. Clearly the facts and inferences
of this officer's excuses are uncredible, remarqueable and belie justice. During this case the Boston Police refuse to produce the 9 hours of
police communications together with their consistencies smacks of corruption. There were no exigent "emergency" circumstances, especially when you consider entering to remove Ms. Erickson's dog (Socrates) as he was mearly barking at the officer
for trying to enter the apartment and the emergency doctrine inapplicable.
This type of ruse is of grave public concern for every citizen's safety, privacy and protections
gauranteed by the Constitution.
Given Boston's Police Commissioner and Major Menino's actions following this incident we are all most certainly at risk by those we have given the authority to protect us.
It is of such irony that Massachusetts is where the foundation of the 4th Amendment was proposed and crafted years before the rest of the continent adapted it as a pillar of protections.
