STANDING ORDER CIVIL RICO
18 U.S.C. 1964(c)
STANDING ORDER CIVIL RICO
The 3d Circuit in Glessner v. Kenny 952 F.2d 702 defined the substance of a RICO case statement as elaborations of pleading. The follow is that, in a presentation of documented evidence.
STANDING ORDER NO. 1. The alleged unlawful conduct that is claimed to be in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1962(b), (c) and or (d).

STANDING ORDER NO. 2 The identity of each defendants and the alleged misconduct and basis of liability of the defendant
DEFENDANT LABORERS INTERNATIONAL UNION (LIUNA) is an entity corporation 18 U.S.C. 1961(3)(4) involved in interstate commerce. LIUNA has been an associate in fact organized crime controlled Captive Labor Organization, since the effective date of RICO October 15, 1970 and it still is an associate in fact Organized Crime Controlled Captive Labor Organization under the Operating Agreement between LIUNA and the Department of Justice. The present day in tact and protected Coia Governance Structure of LIUNA has been cited by two Presidents Crime Commissions, President Richard M. Nixons and President Ronald Reagans Crime Commissions. The only difference is the sons who are cited in the crime commission reports have replaced the deceased fathers in control of the Captive Labor Organization. LIUNA is both a person entity under 18 U.S.C. 1961(3) and an associate in fact union enterprise under 18 U.S.C. 1961(4):
18 U.S.C. 1961(3) person includes any individual or entity capable of holding a legal or beneficial interest in property
18 U.S.C. 1961(4) enterprise includes any individual, partnership, corporation, association, or legal entity, and any union or group of individuals associated in fact although not a legal entity.
DEFENDANT ROBERT D. LUSKIN is as of February 13, 1995 In House Prosecutor pursuant to the Operating Agreement between Coia/LIUNA and the Department of Justice. Defendant Luskin was not an impartial outside attorney as the Operating Agreement required. Defendant Luskin was retained by Coia as a criminal defense attorney prior to the implementation of the Operating Agreement. Defendant Luskin drafted the Operating Agreement. Pursuant to the Operating Agreement defendant Luskin is a racketeering investigator in the meaning of 18 U.S.C. 1961(7).
18 U.S.C. 1961(7) racketeering investigator means any attorney or investigator so designated by the Attorney General1 and charged with the duty of enforcing or carrying into effect this Chapter [18 U.S.C. 1961 et seq.]
The Operating Agreement is a racketeering, investigation in the meaning of 18 U.S.C. 1961(8):
18 U.S.C. 1961(8) racketeering investigation means any inquiry conducted by any racketeering investigator for the purpose of ascertaining whether any person has been involved in any violation of this Chapter [18 U.S.C. 1961 et. Seq.
Defendant Luskin in his authority as General Executive Board Attorney and In House Prosecutor is in a double position of Trust. One trust to the 800,000 membership of a trade union, the other trust to the government of the United States and its citizens; to protect both the citizens of the United States and the members of a trade union from National Pensions Racketeers, which the associate in fact defendants in this complaint are.
Defendant Luskin negotiated the Operating Agreement in his switch capacity position as Arthur Coias criminal attorney, negotiating by stopping the Court filing of a 212 page RICO Complaint. The primary charges in the 212-page RICO complaint were pension racketeering charges committed in the furtherance of 18 U.S.C. 1962(d) violations. To further this obstruction of Justice (18 U.S.C. 1503) wrong doer Coia visits the White House 126 times and donates 3.l million through the Democratic National Committee to President Clintons campaign.
For the purpose of supporting the credibility of that statement the plaintiffs quote an excerpt from an article printed in the Washington Monthly May 1996 by John Mullagan and Dean Starkman: BEGINNING OF EXCERPT
But the odd case of Arthur Coia illustrates a less sanguine picture of unions in 1996: one of lingering corruption, mob ties, and political influence a volatile mix. On November 4, 1994, Coia was served with a 212-page draft racketeering complaint from the Justice Departments Organized Crime and Racketeering Section. The document accused Coia of extortion, pilfering union funds, and ruthlessly crushing dissidents in his union. Charging that the Laborers International was under the mobs thumb the Justice Department served notice of its intent to take over and throw Coia out.
But then something strange happened. The racketeering complaint was never filed. Instead, Coia hired Brendan V. Sullivan, Jr. Oliver Norths Iran-Contra Lawyer plus a veteran of the Organized Crime Section to fend off prosecutors. Negotiations lasted three months and involved the Criminal Division Chief at Justice. The settlement when it came was an enormous victory for Coia. Not only did he keep his position atop the union, he also beat back reforms that would have brought real democracy to the laborers and handed power to the rank and file.
Coias story is one of great failure of law enforcement set in a rarified atmosphere of multi-million dollar campaign contributions and White House dinners. Federal law enforcement officials involved in the case who wanted Coia removed but were overruled, grumble about a link between the toothless settlement and Coias political friendship with the President.
END OF EXCERPT
Defendant Luskin in his capacity as GEB Attorney and In House Prosecutor has violated from in or about 1994 to present day (Open Ended) 18 U.S.C. 1962(d) in the furtherance of, and for the reason of, the unlawful conduct cited in 18 U.S.C. 1962(b)(c). Defendant Luskin conspired to violate 1962(b) and (c) in order to protect wrongdoer pension racketeer Coia2. And in so doing protecting known pension racketeer Arthur Coia from his pilfering of union funds extortion and ruthlessly crushing dissidents (212-page Complaint) inevitably protecting, (Sub Rosa) Arthur Coias pension racketeer associates in fact, who are the cited defendants and wrongdoers in this complaint; and as a consequence of defendant Luskins multiple 18 U.S.C. 1962(d) violation caused direct proximate harm by the associate in fact enterprise defendants in the form of multiple predicate act violations of 18 U.S.C. 1961 (pleaded accordingly defendant by defendant as violations of 18 U.S.C. 1961 and 18 U.S.C. 1962(d).
Serious consideration by the Court should be given to any one or any group that can Influence[d] a Government Civil RICO Complaint involving prosecution memo, documented, pension racketeering acts (18 U.S.C. 1952; 29 U.S.C. 501(c), 18 U.S.C. 1951; 18 U.S.C. 1341; 18 U.S.C. 1343 Inter Alia) Federal criminal statutory acts committed by reason of violations of 1962(d)(b)(C). The plaintiffs in this matter are the proximate harm (result victims) of Coias story is one of great failure of law enforcement.
ENTERPRISE RACKETEERING INJURIES LUSKIN 18 U.S.C. 1962(d)(b)(c)
MULTI SCHEME NO. ONE VIOLATING 18 U.S.C. 1341/ 1962(d)(b)(c)
(Rule 9(b) By letter dated July 24, 1996 addressed to Marc P. Mercier Esq., Beck & Eldergill, P.C. 447 Center Street, Manchester, Connecticut 06040 (Plaintiff Wall & Cookseys Attorney at the time) from Robert D. Luskin (Washington, D.C.) referring to a letter he wrote to defendant Cheverie July 16, 1996. Relevant Excerpts of letter quoted:
I have directed Local 230 to permit Messers. Wall and Cooksey to exercise their right to readmission. For your information, I enclose a copy of my letter to Mr. Cheverie setting out my decision in this matter
Said letter was part of a scheme in the meaning of 18 U.S.C. 1962(d) to cause plaintiff Wall and Cooksey to rely upon this false information for the purpose of time barring Wall & Cooksey suite in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1341 (mail fraud).
On May 15, 1997, Wall & Cooksey represented by Attorney Mercier filed Wall, Cooksey v. Local 230 et al 3:97-CV-00942(JCH)3. On September 10, 1997 defendant Luskins reversed his position as to appellants right to readmission by entering a declaration in 3:97-CV-00942(JCH) stating in it relevant fraudulent part:
Upon review of LIUNAs long established interpretation and application of its constitutionally based readmission right, I concur that the readmission right afforded members of LIUNA must be exercised within twelve (12) months of members dues delinquency, except where there is evidence that such delay was the result of conduct prohibited by LIUNA Ethical Practices Code, the LIUNA Ethics and Disciplinary Procedure, or the LIUNA Constitution.
Not one example of the application of the fraudulent (12) month rule was given for Local 230 because it did not exist. See Chief Judge Winters addresses this scheme as intentional equitable estoppel in Wall, Cooksey v. Local 230 et al 224 F.3d 168 at 173. The equitable estoppel scheme finding in 224 F.3d 168 was committed by and through enterprise racketeering injuries in the meaning of 18 U.S.C. 1961, 18 U.S.C. 1341.
See United States v. Boffa 688 F2d. 919 this Court held that the RICO predicate act of mail fraud 18 U.S.C. 1341 may encompass a scheme to deprive union members of the right to honest and faithful service of union officials as provided in Section 501 of the LMRDA
See Kornfield v. First Jersey National Bank 638 F.Supp. 454
Each individual use of the mails or wires in a fraudulent scheme constitutes a separate offense even if part of one fraudulent scheme, for purpose of RICO requirements of multiple predicate offenses.
MULTI SCHEME NO. TWO ABSTRACT AND CONVERT EMBEZZLEMENT TO DEFENDANT CHEVERIE AND LOPREATO VIOLATING 29 U.S.C. 501(c)/ 1962(d)(b)(c)
501(c) Embezzlement of assets; penalty, any person who embezzles, steals, or unlawfully and willfully abstracts or converts to his own use, or the use of another, any of the moneys, funds, securities, property, or other assets of a labor organization of which he is an officer, or by which he is employed, directly or indirectly, shall be fined not more than $10,000.00 or imprisoned for not more than five years or both
Defendant Luskin 29 U.S.C. 501(c) (embezzlement) convert to the use of another; regarding defendant Lopreato and defendant Cheverie by letter dated July 7, 1997 from Robert D. Luskin LIUNA a Washington, D.C. addressed to Gary R. Wall, 60 Carriage Hill Drive, Weth., CT. Three sentences in Letter:
I am writing in response to your letter of June 25, 1997. Mr. Cheverie has been authorized to represent Mr. Lopreato in his official capacity, in order to protect the interest of Local 230 in the on going lawsuit, as you stated in your letter, you have sued Mr. Lopreato in his official and in his personal capacities.
The capacities of defendant Lopreato in Wall, Cooksey v. Local 230 et al 3:97-CV-00942(JCH) are irrelevant to the point of law of 29 U.S.C. 501(c). As part of the Hon. Judge Daleys sentencing order in UNITED STATES v. LOPREATO ET AL 3-97CR00190(TFGD) May 8, 1996, Mr. Lopreato received 51 months in prison and paid a $250,000 fine4. Judge Daley barred Dominick Lopreato from all union activities pursuant to 29 U.S.C. 504. The Criminal Parallel Legal System Operating Agreement does not recognize Judge Daleys 504 Order, a fearless disregard for the order of law. This complaint avers that act by defendant Luskin as unlawful conduct, violating 29 U.S.C. 501(c) by and through a violation of 1962(d) for the purpose of control (1962(b)) and participation (1962(c)) in a RICO enterprises affairs through a pattern of racketeering activity in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1961(5). Open Ended predicate act violations; the only foreseeable end being this complaint.
See: Morrisey v. Curran 482 Fed. Supp. Id 31
Union should not have paid for legal services rendered in defense of former union president in action under U.S.C.S 501 since former union president was principal beneficiary of misappropriation of union funds
18 U.S.C. 1962(d) Conspiracy overt act facilitating
See: United States v. Local 560, 581 Fed Supp. 279 Id. 280
An enterprise conspiracy under Racketeering Influence and Corrupt Organization Act may be established without personal conduct amounting to two (2) personal predicate offenses, instead, it is sufficient if government demonstrates agreement through defendants aiding and abetting in at least two (2) such offenses or through assent to commission by someone else or several others of at least two (2) such offenses
See also for applicability of 18 USC 2 as a violation of 18 U.S.C. 1962 Third Circuit in United States v. Local 560 780 F2d 267 Finding #9 at 269 the Court:
Criminal standard for aiding and abetting applied to charge in Civil Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act [18 U.S.C.A., 1961 Et. Seq.] suit that unions executive board aided and abetted other defendants extortionate acts 18 U.S.C.A. 2, 1962.
MULTI SCHEME NO. THREE D.O.J./ LUSKIN SIGNED AGREEMENT
Defendant Luskin from in or about May 15, 1997 (LMRDA Complaint) and continuing on to present day (Open Ended) has violated 18 U.S.C. 1962(d) by aiding and furthering multiple violations of predicate offense 29 U.S.C.501(c) for the purposes of violating 18 U.S.C. 1962(b) and (c). Defendant Luskins 18 U.S.C. 1962(d) violations of 29 U.S.C. 501(c) are subject to RICO defendants LeConche, Pezzenti, Attorney defendant Cheverie, Lopreato and Attorney defendant Tomasiewicz, said 501(c) violations are subject to and are signatory to an agreement with the D.O.J. Quoted from LIUNA Ethics and Disciplinary Procedure revised 4/01: in its relevant part:
---in order to accomplish more fully the purposes of the LIUNA Ethical Practices Code, and the LIUNA Ethics and Disciplinary Procedure, it is hereby declared to be the policy of the General Executive Board that union funds may not be used for the payment of the legal fees or expenses for the representation of any officer, member, or employee at any stage of a criminal matter or at any stage of a civil action claiming a breach of fiduciary duties prior to the resolution of the allegation or charge
Please take notice of at any stage of a civil action consequently from in or about May 15, 1997 (LMRDA Complaint) Wall, Cooksey v. Local 230 et al 3:97-CV-00942(JCH) through the appeal in the LMRDA Case Wall, Cooksey v. Local 230 et al 99-7773 through the remand Wall, Cooksey v. Local 230 et al 224 F.3d 168 (2dCir. 2000) and to present day pending in the LMRDA Case 3:97-CV-00942(JCH) and Wall, Cooksey v. Local 230 et al (Interlocutory Injunction) 03-6091 Second Circuit.
Defendant Luskin and the just cited RICO defendants are committing a continuous and open ended violation of 29 U.S.C. 501(c) and are conspiring to do so in violations of 18 U.S.C. 1962(d) for the purposes of control 18 U.S.C. 1962(b) of a RICO enterprises affairs through a pattern of racketeering activity in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1962(c) and in so doing violating 18 U.S.C. 1961(5). Every payment of the legal fees or expenses for representation is a predicate act violate of both 18 U.S.C. 1962(d) and 29 U.S.C. 501(c). 29 U.S.C. 501(c) is a direct predicate act under 18 U.S.C. 1961(c) relating to embezzlement from union funds. Embezzlement of union funds is the gravaman of this complaint (Proximate Harm).
The RICO defendants in the complaint (associates in fact) have been violating 29 U.S.C. 501(c) since the effective date of RICO (October 15, 1970). See: United States v. LeRoy 687 F2d 610 (2d Cir. 1983) (Identifying 501(c) as a RICO predicate act and its interrelationship between the pattern of racketeering and conduct of the enterprise affairs under 18 U.S.C. 1962(c)). The Coia Governance Structure of LIUNA was an objective target of the Congressional statement of findings and purpose. Act Oct., 15, 1970 P. L. 91-452 1 84 Stat. 922
The first finding of the Congressional Statement referred to Organized Crime as being highly sophisticated that was in 1970. The reason that the Coia Group (associates in fact) were considered highly sophisticated in 1970 was the millions in membership money that was embezzled 29 U.S.C. 501(c) to pay their highly sophisticated attorneys to protect their extortion, pilfering of union funds and Crushing Dissidents. That was the Congressional statement of finding in 1970. The present day showing and statement in this complaint shows the evolution of highly sophisticated effective date October 15, 1970 RICO enterprise to a much higher form of sophistication using the hundreds of millions in fund money generated every week by 800,000 members to criminally Influence[d] the Office of the President and First Lady (Documented 126 visits to the Clinton White House by Arthur Coia plus multiple trips with Hilary Clinton) and criminal Influence[d] the Organized Crime section of the Justice Department to this present day (Open Ended)5. This dangerous situation is what Marbury v. Madison 1 Cranch 137, 163 was written for. Arthur Coia Jr. Has employed the top sophisticated attorneys in Washington D.C., Brendan V. Sullivan, Jr., Robert D. Luskin, Patton and Boggs, and Williams and Connelly. He employed them all with embezzled membership money in order to protect him from the pilfering of millions in union funds and in so doing protecting his associates in fact RICO enterprise which the cited plaintiffs have proximate harm from.
MULTI SCHEME NO. FOUR EMBEZZLEMENT 29 U.S.C. 501(c) BY EXTORTION 18 U.S.C. 1951 CONTINUED AND FURTHERED BY THE OPERATING AGREEMENT
In or about the beginning of 1986 in a pattern of racketeering to present day RICO defendant Lopreato, LeConche, Pezzenti and Attorney Cheverie have violated 18 U.S.C. 1951 (Hobbs Act) by systematically creating an atmosphere of fear in Local 230 in order that any member would be afraid to question any of their expenditures legal or otherwise. During union membership meetings dating back to 1986 when Plaintiff Wall would attempt to inform the membership of how much (membership money was being spent on the pending (at the time) NLRB case Wall, Cooksey v. Local 230 LIUNA, Lopreato, LeConche, Pezzenti 39 CB-827 39 CB-8336. From the podium the cited defendants and (Arthur Coia Sr. present many times on tape) would direct the membership to boo; Not after I spoke but as I tried to speak (extortionate tactic) stopping anyone from hearing or understanding what I was trying to say and in so doing making an example of a member who questions their actions. Fear of economic execution to the membership [Blanket Hobbs Act] unless they clap or boo on signal. Fear of economic execution or violence and actual economic execution and actual violence and threats of violence to the plaintiffs in this complaint; Embezzlement by extortion violating 18 U.S.C. 1951 in order to embezzle in the meaning of 29 U.S.C. 501(c); Conspiracy to do so in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1962(d) in multiple schemes against Wall and Cooksey 1986 to present day and against plaintiff Manos in or about 1995 to present day, exact same pattern in the meaning of 18 U.S.C. 1961(5).
TOLLING RICO
The Second Circuit has articulated the preferred accrual rule for RICO for three reasons.
FIRST: It is the simplest to apply because it focuses on the plaintiffs actual or constructive discovery of its injury, which is keyed to the objective fact of injury and is readily determinable by a tier of fact.
SECOND: Commencement of the limitation period upon occurrence of the first injury does not leave a plaintiff without remedy just without treble damages until the second predicate act occurs.
THIRD: If the second predicate act in the pattern occurs more than four years after the first, a RICO claim maybe stated upon occurrence of the second predicate act sec: Bankers Trust v. Rhoades 859 Fed. Rep. 2d 1096 United States Court of Appeals Second Circuit at 1102
--statute of limitations which runs where a substantive violation is alleged pursuant to subsection (a)(b) or (c) from the time of the last predicate act of racketeering activity by the defendant, or where a conspiracy violation is alleged pursuant to subsection (d) from the time the objectives of the conspiracy have been accomplished or abandoned---
THE ENTERPRISE CONSPIRACY
The plaintiffs in the complaint believe that the United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit sitting En Banc has best defined the RICO element of enterprise conspiracy in U.S. v. Elliot 571 Fed. Rep. 2d 880 at 902.
---against this background, we are convinced that, through RICO, Congress intended to authorize the single prosecution of a multi-faceted conspiracy by replacing the inadequate wheel and chain rationales with a new statutory concept: the Enterprise [9-11] to achieve this result, Congress acted against the back drop of horn book conspiracy law, under the general federal conspiracy statute in the context of organized crime, this principle inhibited mass prosecutions because a single agreement or common objective cannot be inferred from the commission of highly diverse crimes by apparently unrelated individuals. RICO help to eliminate this problem by creating a substantive offense which ties together these diverse parties and crimes. Thus, the object of a RICO conspiracy is to violate a substantive RICO provision here, to conduct or participate in the affairs of an enterprise through a pattern of racketeering activity and not merely to commit each of the predicate crimes necessary to demonstrate a pattern of racketeering activity
Defendant Luskin has liability in this extortion/embezzlement scheme in accordance with his authority as G.E.B. attorney, quoting page 24 LIUNA Ethics and Disciplinary Procedure citing the authority of Luskin as G.E.B. attorney:
As long as the offending conduct at issue is deemed to be relevant to an accuseds current membership in or service to, the union the G.E.B. attorney may bring charges, regardless of when the conduct at issue occurred
The F.B.I (Chicago Office) pursuant to their investigation of plaintiff Wall and Cooksey (at the direction of defendant Luskin) were given tape copies of membership meetings 1986 through 1989 (defendant Haynes and Coia Sr present majority of times). Plaintiff Wall wore the tape recorder in order to protect him from being framed for crimes (which it ultimately did). The tapes clearly show the extortionate control the same (to this day) Governance Structure of Local 230 has over the membership. Said tapes were later subpoenaed back from the F.B.I. in Chicago By Wall. Defendant Luskin had full knowledge without the tapes that the Coia (Sr. & Jr.) Governance Structure controlled Local 230 through fear. The tapes just document that fact. Said tapes are almost indistinguishable from the tape recordings that plaintiff Manos recorded nine (9) years later; That being, booing before plaintiff Manos or Gene Julian tried to speak (not after they spoke) an extortionate silencing tactic used in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1961(5) for control in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1962(b) and participation in the affairs of a RICO enterprise in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1962(c). In addition to the Common Objective finding in Elliot En Banc Supra see United States v. Turkette 452 U. S. 576 The [enterprise] is proved by evidence of an on going organization, formal or informal, and by evidence that the associates function as a continuing unit.
Professor Clyde W. Summers who drafted the LMRDA, comprehends and explains the affect of Blanket Hobbs Act the best in U. S. v. Local 560 Supra 581 F. Supp at 321:
Professor Summers At 321: This sense of fear within the Local causing members to believe that it is not safe to protest or organize is so overwhelming that it is not likely to correct itself in the foreseeable future.
DEFENDANTS LUSKIN VIOLATING 18 USC 1962(d)(b)(c) PLAINTIFF MANOS LUSKIN MULTI SCHEME NO. FIVE
From on or about 1996 and continuing to this present day defendant Luskin has violated 18 U.S.C. 1962(d) with the cited defendants and wrongdoers in this complaint, And in so doing injured plaintiff Manoss LMRDA and Constitutional Rights (Property Rights) by causing TERMINATION of said Rights committing multiple counts of Obstruction of Justice (18 U.S.C. 1503). Defendant Luskin has also Injured plaintiff Manoss Federal Right of Protection against violations of Federal Criminal Statutes by TERMINATING said rights through a Criminal Parallel Legal System (Operating Agreement) by and for reasons of 18 U.S.C. 1962(b)(c).
THE THIRD CIRCUIT CONCURRING WITH THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT IN Shearin v. E. F. Hutton 885 F2d 1162 at 1169:
---Taking into account all the provisions of Section 1962, either racketeering activity or classic overt conspiracy act may qualify as predicate acts to a RICO violation that causes injury. Sedima further indicates that classic conspiracy acts not only may, but should so qualify. This accords with RICOs plain meaning. Section 1964(c) states that a person need only sustain an injury by reason of a violation of Section 1962---
See also U. S. v. Local 560, 581 Fed. Supp 279 Id. 289
Individuals may be charged under Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act as persons while being grouped collectively as a enterprise under the well-established association in fact doctrine 18 USCA 1961-1968
Defendant Luskins violations of 1962(d) through aiding and abetting 1961 violations by the associate in fact enterprise including inter alia multiple Hobbs Act violations 18 U.S.C. 1951 (Pleaded under Standing Order No 4); 18 U.S.C. 1513 retaliating against a witness; (pleaded under Standing Order No. 4) 29 U.S.C. 530 LMRDA assault (pleaded under Standing Order No. 4) 18 U.S.C. 1503 Obstruction of Justice (pleaded under Standing Order No. 4) 18 U.S.C. 1341 mail fraud (pleaded under Standing Order No. 5(c) in compliance with F.R.C.P. 9(b).
In addition to the just demonstrated multiple violations of RICO defendant Luskin in his dual positions of GEB Attorney and in house prosecutor has invalided and corrupted LIUNAs constitution and has invalided the Constitution of the United States to the membership of LIUNA and Local 230. The (Obstruction of Justice) control comes from the following signatory provisions of the Operating Agreement. Quote relevant excerpt from Summary of LIUNA Agreement 1995 (Open Ended):
This agreement is a first-of-its-kind in the history of union-government partnering it is completely different from the International Brotherhood of Teamsters situation, which was an example of government takeover and control of a union.
Unlike the Teamster Consent Decree, defendant Luskin controls discipline in the meaning of 29 U.S.C. 411(a)(5) and 29 U.S.C. 529. In the Teamster Consent Decree, discipline in the meaning of 29 U.S.C. 411(a)(5) and 29 U.S.C. 529 was controlled by a Federal Court. Also under the Operating Agreement unlike the Teamsters Consent Decree, defendant Luskin controls enforcement of Federal Statutes, including but not limited to, 18 U.S.C. 1961(1,4,5), 18 U.S.C. 1962(b,c,d) violations. A Criminal Parallel Legal System Quote Page 6 of the 1995 Operating Agreement Page 7 of the revised 2001 Operating Agreement relevant part:
Anyone, including a union officer, representative, member, contractor or vendor, or law enforcement organization may refer a complaint against a union official or member by filing it with the G.E.B. attorney. The G.E.B. attorney or the Inspector General will investigate it and decide whether charges should be brought.
These two provisions which are signatory to the Department of Justice, gave defendant Luskin the authority and ability to insulate and protect an Organized Crime Control Act (OCCA) RICO enterprise.
DEFENDANT VERE O. HAYNES
Defendant Haynes was appointed 8th V.P. LIUNA in or about 1986 by Arthur Coia, Sr. Defendant Haynes at relative times in this complaint has also held 3rd V.P. and 1st V.P. positions in LIUNA. Defendant Haynes mailing address is 475 Ledyard Street, Hartford, Connecticut and Laborers International Union, 905 16th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20006-1765. Defendant Haynes is liable for multiple violations of 18 U.S.C. 1503, 18 U.S.C. 1341, 28 U.S.C. 501(c) 18 U.S.C. 1951 of 411 Rights committed by reason of violations of 18 U.S.C. 1962(d) in the furtherance and reason of violating of 1962(c). Defendant Haynes was a signatory with the Department of Justice in the first phase of the Operating Agreement, February 13, 1995 to February 2000. At the time of the signing defendant Haynes was First V.P. LIUNA. Defendant Haynes has always been a part time V.P. He also is some type of male nurse at the Hebrew Home. Defendant Haynes was picked by Luskin and Coia to be signatory to the Operating Agreement with the Department of Justice because he will sign anything they put in front of him. Defendant Haynes was questioned on this same subject matter (for purposes of RICO Mens Rea) in a deposition taken by Wall & Cooksey in Wall, Cooksey v. Local 230 et al 3:97-CV-00942(JCH) at Room 320, Federal Building, Hartford, Connecticut on November 26, 2001.
ENTERPRISE RACKETEERING INJURIES HAYNES 18 U.S.C. 1503/ 1962(d)(c)
Defendant Haynes violating RICO predicate 18 U.S.C. 1503 Obstruction of Justice by injuring the cited plaintiffs Rights to the remedial purposes of 18 U.S.C. 1964(c) (Civil RICO) injuring also the cited plaintiffs Rights to the remedial purposes of our LMRDA and Statutory Rights of Protection. Doing so in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1962(d) for reasons of violating 18 U.S.C. 1962(c) in a 1961(5) pattern of racketeering. In support of that Civil RICO charge, the plaintiffs enter relevant excerpts from the Haynes deposition Page 19:
Wall: Lets go to page 51 of that book. It says summary of LIUNA Agreement. Thats the Operational Agreement; correct?
Haynes: Yep
Wall: Now, your signature were going to go back to your signature in the back
Haynes: Yes
Wall: Your signature is
Haynes: Yes my signature is there
Wall: that says youre Third Vice President. You told me now youre First Vice President?
Haynes: Yes
Wall: You see for the United States it says JoAnn Harris; did you know her?
Haynes: No
Wall: James B. Burns; hes from the United States Attorneys Office. Did you ever meet him?
Haynes: No
PAGE 20
Wall: Paul E. Coffey; did you ever meet him?
Haynes: No
Wall: John Serpico is on here, he didnt sign it, and Samuel Caivano, he didnt sign it. How come they didnt sign it?
Haynes: I dont recall why they didnt
Wall: Could you tell me what your understanding is of the Operational Agreement between the United States and LIUNA?
Haynes: I usually leave that up to the counsel
Wall: What counsel?
Haynes: The general executive board counsel (defendant Luskin)
Wall: So you dont know?
Haynes: (shakes head)
Wall: You shook your head no. Thats a no?
Haynes: Ask me the question
Wall: You dont know what the concept of the Operational Agreement is what the purpose of it was?
Haynes: I dont remember
Wall: You dont remember
Haynes: No
Later in the deposition plaintiff Wall shows defendant Haynes a copy of the face of the 212-page RICO Complaint.
Testimony in its relevant part at page 27:
Wall: Do you realize that those people are well-known, high ranking organized crime figures?
Haynes: I really dont know, Sir.
Wall: So this is news to you. That youre mentioned in a draft complaint a RICO draft complaint with these individuals, thats what youre saying? This is the first time youre being informed of this?
Haynes: that I knew
It became very evident during the deposition why Luskin and Coia7 used defendant Haynes in their 1962(d) conspiracy to Obstruct Justice 18 U.S.C. 1503. Defendant Haynes violating RICO Predicate 29 U.S.C. 501(c) doing so by violating 18 U.S.C. 1962(c) Haynes deposition quoted again in its relevant part: page 21
Wall: Do you know Mr. Dominick Lopreato.
Haynes: Yes, I know Dominick Lopreato.
Wall: Do you consider him a barred individual?
Haynes: No
Wall: No
Haynes: No
Wall: Do you realize that membership money is representing him at this in this case?
Wall: In other words, Dominick is not paying lawyers fees here. The membership of Local 230 is paying do you realize that
Attorney Tomasiewicz and Attorney Fussell objects to the question defendant Haynes later answer the question on page 22:
Wall: You didnt realize that
Haynes: No
In addition to the fact that defendant Haynes was also using membership money (29 U.S.C. 501(c)) in said depositions in violation of the LIUNA/DOJ agreement. In addition to that fact 29 U.S.C. 504 was drafted to protect members from convicted Labor/Pension Racketeering. Defendant Haynes has obstructed Justice in his signatory capacity and V.P. capacity in violation of 1962(d) violating 1962(c) violating both 29 U.S.C. 501(c) and obstructing and injuring the cited plaintiffs remedial right to the protection of 29 U.S.C. 504 by and through a Criminal Parallel Legal System (Operating Agreement).

See Local 560 Supra Re: Civil RICO 18 U.S.C.A. 2 1962
PHASE ONE PLATFORM EXTORTION SCHEME
From in or about 1986 to 1990 defendant Haynes has violated plaintiff Wall and plaintiff Cooksey LMRDA Right to Freedom of Speech (29 U.S.C. 411(a)(2)) by aiding and abetting the extortion (18 U.S.C. 1951) of said LMRDA Right by LIUNA officers, Local 230 officers and the Executive Board Members in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1962(d) for reason of 1962(c).
Explanation: At consecutive monthly membership meetings from in or about 1986 through 1990 in a pattern of racketeering (1961(5)), defendant Haynes participate[d] In the conduct of this effective date RICO enterprises affairs (1962(d)(c)) by directly being involved in the extortion of plaintiff Walls and plaintiff Cookseys LMRDA Freedom of Speech Rights (29 U.S.C. 411 (a)(2)) by standing up out of his chair as all of the officials LIUNA and Local 230 officers did as they shouted down any attempt by plaintiff Wall or plaintiff Cooksey to speak when plaintiff Wall would request from the floor for the officers of Local 230 to total up the membership money being spent on the pending NLRB case. Defendant Haynes participated in the shoot down with the associates in fact. By standing and clapping while other, defendants and wrongdoers, shout down Freedom of Speech enabled, assisted, encouraged and incited Hobbs Act Extortion of plaintiff Wall and plaintiff Cooksey LMRDA Rights. Defendant Haynes continues his involvement from the platform in an identical pattern of extortion repeated in or about 1996 to 1998 against plaintiff Manos, and extortion victim Mr. Gene Julian, being shouted down by the same defendants and wrongdoers function[ing] as a continuing unit Turkette Supra.
PHASE TWO PLATFORM EXTORTION SCHEME
In 1996-1998 defendant Lopreato is not involved in the second platform extortion scheme. He is barred by his indictment (The Honorable Judge Daley is alive Lopreato is barred!!).
Present now at membership meetings (96 98 scheme) is Coia and Luskins hand picked investigators investigating Coias 30 year associates in fact (Local 230) RICO associates, rather than investigating by participating in the (continuing) second phase extortionate affairs of a RICO enterprise. Defendant Haynes from in or about 1986-1990 in his capacity of 8th V.P. and from in or about 1996 1998, defendant Haynes in his capacity as 3rd V.P., 1st V.P., and Signatory to the Operating Agreement with the D.O.J. enabled, assisted, and encouraged the extortion of plaintiffs Wall, Cooksey and Manos LMRDA Rights by the same method and for the same common goal. The two extortionist schemes in violation of (1962(d) violating 1962(c) by extortion (18 U.S.C. 1951) of the cited plaintiffs LMRDA 29 U.S.C. 411(a)(2) Freedom of Speech Rights, in a pattern of racketeering in violation of 1961(5)8.

April 1996 Membership Meeting Enterprise Racketeering Scheme
In or about the April 1996 Local 230 membership meeting, Local 230, with defendant Haynes present in his dual capacity as 1st V.P. and Signatory Operating Agreement with the United States defendant Haynes participated in an open extortion of plaintiff Wall and plaintiff Cooksey Federal Protected Rights by abetting defendant LeConches reading of a letter dated April 9, 1996 out loud to the membership fraudulently composed by the defendants and others accusing plaintiff Wall of very serious violent crimes with plaintiff Cooksey being with Wall when these crimes were committed a majority of the times (proven fabricated in depositions). These fabricated allegations were meant to label both Wall and Cooksey as criminally barred through the purview of the Operating Agreement (discipline) and to create an unsafe membership environment and unsafe work environment. An open act of extortion of the plaintiffs 29 U.S.C. 411(a)(1) (Equal Rights) (a)(2) (Freedom of Speech and Assembly)(a)(5) (Safeguards against improper disciplinary action).
July 1997 Executive Board Meeting Enterprise Racketeering Scheme
Defendant Haynes at a Local 230 Executive Board Meeting enabled multiple Hobbs Act violations being committed against plaintiff Manos and an actual 29 U.S.C. 530 assault being committed against plaintiff Manos in violation of 1962(d), all on tape with defendant Haynes at same table. Examples (CL: defendant LeConche SM: plaintiff Manos):
CL: whyd you call Ted Grabowski and try to solicit a vote against John Silva, asshole!
SM: Because Im a member and I have a right I have a right to lobby
CL: You dont have a right (Hobbs Act violation)
CL: Steve, youre about that fuckin close for me ripping your fuckin throat out personally! (Hobbs Act violation)
CL: Fuck you! It aint a threat, its a fuckin promise! (Hobbs Act violation)
Manos is attacked blind-sided by Sergeant-At-Arms, Frank Freeman (tape still recording) thrown violently over a chair onto the ceramic tile concrete floor, and then thrown out the fire exit door opened by the owner of the restaurant where the Ex. Board Meeting was being held 29 U.S.C. 530 assault for reasons of 18 U.S.C. 1959(a) and 18 U.S.C. 1962(d) for reasons of violating 18 U.S.C. 1962(c) (See Salerno Supra footnote 7 page 19). Frank Freeman now holds plaintiff Manos former position as V.P. Local 230. Doctor reports showed multiple contusions to Manos leg, chest and arms, right shoulder sprain left wrist sprain. Manos flees to his car and is pursued. At Manos car in the street, defendant LeConche states (tape still recording).
CL: Do yourself a favor. Dont show up for a while! We own you Fucker! (Hobbs Act).
We own you is what the Hobbs Act was written for. The statement We Own You shows clearly that Local 230 its Executive Board and its International are captive labor organizations controlling the membership through fear. See: Second Circuit in U. S. v. I.B.T. 708 F. Supp 1388 at 1398. The Hobbs Act, unlike the mail or wire fraud statutes, was enacted specifically to address labor racketeering, see also U. S. v. I.B.T. at 1405 Civil RICO Actions usually allege conduct that is either identical to or a subset of criminal allegations. See making a distinction between the Hobbs Act (18 U.S.C. 1951) and an LMRDA Assault (29 U.S.C. 530) see U. S. v. Local 560, 780 F2d 267 at 282.
While the Hobbs Act, as evidenced by its explicit and unambiguous language, was designed to combat extortion Section 530 of the LMRDA makes no mention of extortion and rather appears to focus on prohibiting physical assaults on members in connection with a unions internal affairs and in the exercise of their statutory right ---
See Also: Indelicato Supra at 1370 Finding No. 5:
Multiple acts of racketeering activity are not excluded from reach of RICO simply because they achieve their objective quickly or because they further but a single scheme 18 U.S.C. 1961 (1, 5).
See Also: U.S. v. Local 560 581 F. Supp. 279 at 333:
---aided and abetted by the defendant officers and business agents of Local 560, unlawfully affected commerce and the movement of articles and commodities in commerce by extorting certain intangible property rights, rights to union democracy under 401 of the LMRDA from the membership of Local 560, in repeated violations of 18 U.S.C. 1951
March 25, 1998 Membership Meeting Enterprise Racketeering Scheme
In another act of open extortion of the plaintiffs membership rights with defendant Haynes participating in the affairs of an enterprise by enabling and abetting the reading out loud to the membership of a fabricated letter on March 25, 19989. As stated in the footnote, this letter was a different letter than the April 9, 1996 letter. This letter was dated March 2, 1998. Said letter was addressed to Robert D. Luskin, Washington, D.C. and signed by defendant LeConche, defendant Pezzenti; Butch Granell Recording Secretary; Thaddeus Grabowski President; Wayne Silva Exec. Board Member; James Lawson Exec. Board member. Said letter intentions were extortion of membership rights by fear in the meaning of Hobbs Act to the membership and furthering said extortion by using the mail and wire to do so 18 U.S.C. 1341, 18 U.S.C. 1343 Boffa Supra (pleaded in compliance with Rule 9(b) at Standing Order 5(c)). The reading out of the March 2, 1998 letter on March 25, 1998, labeled plaintiff Manos to the membership as barred for associating with Mr. Gary Wall--- extorting plaintiff Manoss 29 U.S.C. 411(a)(2) right to Freedom of Speech and Assembly said reading out of letter also labeled plaintiff Manos barred to the membership for filing an affidavit in Wall, Cooksey v. Local 230 et al 3:97-CV-00942(JCH) and for participating in the Litigation against the Local Union and for accompanied Mr. Wall to Court in Bridgeport on Tuesday February 24, 1998 (Federal District Court), violating plaintiff Manos, Cookseys and Walls 29 U.S.C. 411(a)(4) right Protection of the Right to Sue; Doing so, by violating Manos, Cooksey and Walls 29 U.S.C. 411(a)(5) right to safeguards against improper disciplinary action10 willful, flagrant extortion of plaintiffs Manos, Cooksey and Walls LMRDA rights and an example (Blanket Hobbs Act) to the membership not to question any action of the leadership of Local 230.

18 U.S.C. 1503/ 18 U.S.C. 1341, 18 U.S.C. 1962(d)(c) NOVEMBER 2001
In a deposition taken of defendant Haynes dated November 2001 in Hartford, Connecticut, defendant Haynes enables, aided and abets the extortion scheme and assault by giving false testimony in said deposition stating said Hobbs Act violations and the assault never happen and obstructing Justice as a signatory with the United States. Said fraudulent statements were mailed December 3, 2001 in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1341 (stated with particularity under Standing Order No. 5(c)).
See: United States v. Boffa 688 F2d 919 this Court held that the RICO predicate act of mail fraud 18 U.S.C. 1341 may encompass a scheme to deprive union members of the right to honest and faithful service of union officials as provided in Section 501 of the LMRDA
See United States v. Davidson 760 F2d 97 reasonably anticipate that the mails would be used violating 18 U.S.C. 1962(d) for reason of violating 18 U.S.C. 1962(c)
STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS
See United States v. Field 432 Fed. Supp 55 the language of 18 U.S.C. 1961(5) clearly contemplates prolonged course of conduct and like Statute of Limitations for conspiracy, which runs from date of last overt act, Statute of Limitations of violations of 18 U.S.C. 1961(5) runs from date of last act of racketeering activity

From in or about February 1995 to in or about February 2000 (within the 4 year statute of limitations), defendant Luskin and defendant Haynes conspired to violate 18 U.S.C. 1962(d) by multiple acts of obstructing justice (18 U.S.C. 1503) 18 U.S.C. 1961(1,4,5,) in their dual capacity as LIUNA officials and signatory to the Operating Agreement with the United States.
Defendant Luskin and Defendant Haynes are the only two defendants Civil Rico charged with 18 U.S.C. 1503 (obstruction of justice) inter alia. Because they are the only two signatories to the Operating Agreement with the United States, a racketeering scheme in the meaning of 18 U.S.C. 1961(5). In their capacity as signatories with the United States and as officials of LIUNA both defendants have by either participation, authorization or ratification violated 18 U.S.C. 1962(d) with each other and with the other defendants in violation of multiple direct predicate RICO acts 18 U.S.C. 1961(1,4,5).
Repeating the important distinction in this complaint, only defendants Luskin and Haynes are being Civil RICO charged with 18 U.S.C. 1503 as an activity of a violation of 18 U.S.C. 1962(d). For defendant Luskin for reasons of 18 U.S.C. 1962(b) control and 1962(c) participation affairs of an enterprise. For defendant Haynes, violation 1962(d) for reason of 1962(c) participation affairs of an enterprise. The 1961(5) Operating Agreement obstructed a 212-page RICO complaint, it obstructed the remedial protection of multiple predicate act violations of 1961 committed against the plaintiffs and it directly harmed the plaintiffs LMRDA and Statutory Property Rights.
Discovery in 3:97-CV-00942(JCH) has documented that the Operating Agreement has obstructed the Executive Branch of government and the Judicial Branch of government. Quote page 6 of the 1995 Agreement page 7 of the revised 2001agreement in its relative part:
Anyone, including a union officer, representative, member, contractor or vendor, or law enforcement organizations may refer a complaint against a union official or member by filing it with the G.E.B. attorney. The G.E.B. attorney or the Inspector General will investigate it and decide whether charges should be brought.
Quote relevant excerpts from Summary of LIUNA Government Agreement
This agreement is a first of its kind in the history of union government partnering --- it is completely different from the International Brotherhood of Teamsters situation, which was an example of government take-over and control of a union.
The key difference between the Operating Agreement for LIUNA and the Consent Decree for I.B.T. is the Operating Agreement has no judicial jurisdiction. The Consent Decree was consent by I.B.T. for Judicial jurisdiction. Also officials of I.B.T. had no power to discipline. Under the Consent Decree, discipline is the jurisdiction and discretion of the Court. Discipline and discretion to discipline under the Operating Agreement is controlled by defendant Luskin and his hand picked Inspector General both hand picked and paid for by Arthur Coia Jr.
The foregoing demonstration shows multiple 1962(d) schemes committed by defendant Haynes. Some dating as far back as 1986 and continuing to present day in his capacity as 8th, 3rd and 1st V.P. and one major 1962(d) scheme (18 U.S.C. 1503) dating from February 13, 1995 to February 2000 in his capacity as signatory to the United States, all violating 18 U.S.C. 1961(1,4,5).

See: United States v. Dillard 101 F.2d 829 where utterances were repeated again and again for a period of eighteen (18) months they were continuous enough to be a scheme. The only difference between Dillard Supra and this instant RICO scheme is the degree of harm in this RICO scheme and the duration of the scheme. This is the beginning of the 18th year of this continuous scheme not 18 months as in Dillard Supra.
On November 26, 2001, defendant Pezzenti gave intentional false testimony concerning the Hobbs Act violations and 530 assault committed against plaintiff Manos on July 30, 1997, furthering the 18 U.S.C. 1962(d)(c) racketeering pattern, violating 1961(5).

During the deposition of defendant Cheverie, April 25, 2002, plaintiff Wall questioned defendant Cheverie about a statement in the April 9, 1996 letter accusing plaintiff Wall of threatening Attorney Cheverie that being I was personally threatened by Mr. Wall during the Court proceeding for the Courts convenience excerpts page 15-16
Wall: And it said you were personally threatened by me in a Court proceeding?
Cheverie: Thats correct
Wall: Where was that
Cheverie: At the Nations Labor Board
Wall: while the court was in proceeding?
Cheverie: Thats correct
Wall: the Court was going on?
Cheverie: Thats Correct
Wall: What did the Judge do
Cheverie: The Judge took a recess and called all the lawyers in the back and he said to me Mr. Cheverie, if you have any further questions for Mr. Wall, Im concerned for your safety and I will not allow anymore questioning because I think Mr. Wall is going to attack you. Unless we have two federal Marshals between you and him, Im not going to allow any further questions. I said Your Honor as long as you know what Im dealing with, I have no further questions. We came back out and said.
Wall: Who was that? Wallace Nations?
Cheverie: Yes
Wall: How come nobody ever mentioned that to me?
Cheverie: It was off the record. We went in closed doors, just the lawyers. If your lawyer didnt tell you, thats between you and him.
Wall: My lawyer? I didnt have lawyer
We were proceeding without a lawyer because just before the trail started our attorney had a severe personal problem that caused him to go out of business. Also in addition to the fact that Judge Nations would never tolerate threats of violence in his Courtroom. He would never have Ruled in favor of plaintiffs (18 out of 18 counts) if he even thought for one second that I would attack someone in his Courtroom and he needed U.S. Marshals to protect Cheverie from me.

The subject matter of the deposition of defendant Cheverie was restricted by the Court to only the contents of the April 9, 1996 letter, which included the baseball bat assault of John Pezzenti (1985) and other alleged assaults and Hobbs Act violations allegedly committed by plaintiff Wall stating also during the majority of these incidents William Cooksey accompanied Mr. Wall ALL of the allegations in the April 9th letter have been proven false in depositions in 942(JCH).
In order to show the reckless flagrant frauds committed against plaintiff Wall and Cooksey in this one continuance 1962(d) conspiracy the plaintiffs will quote relevant excerpts from a police report and mail fraud mailings.
First Quote excerpt is from a Newington Police Report dated 12/27/85:
Later in the interview Pezzente stated that on Friday afternoon he was at the Cane Mobil on Franklin Ave Hartford, and at about 1515 hrs he stated that he observed Gary Wall with a person known to Pezzente as one Sonny Castagna. According to Pezzente both Wall and Castagna got into a vehicle that was parked in front of 174 Franklin Ave. Hartford. The composites will be given out at the construction site (50 State St Hartford) and an interview with Lopreato is forth coming.
50 State Street is where plaintiff Wall was employed at the time. In addition to the composites, the union posted a $10,000 dollar reward on the job site that was also put into the Hartford Courant.
Next excerpt is from the April 9, 1996 letter (signed by defendant Cheverie):
In this regard, Wall was observed by Pezzente in the presence of Grasso shortly before the beating occurred. The attack done by individuals in ski masks wielding baseball bats, without any provocation or words exchanged, has been viewed as a professional job. This attack also was in close proximity to instances where Wall and Grasso attempted to run then Business Manager Dominick Lopreato off the road.
Please compare the next excerpts from the March 2, 1998 letter with the April 9, 1996 letter and the excerpt from the 12/27/85 police report all on this page. Please take notice that in 1985 plaintiff Walls accomplish is Sonny Castagna. In 1989, Sonny Castagna went into the witness protection program so the defendants change the accomplish to Mr. Grasso who is now dead in 1996, and they put ski masks on the assailants because one composite looks like Sonny Castagna, then after plaintiff Wall raises that discrepancy in or about 1997 the defendant go back to Sonny Castagna. See Next Excerpt March 2, 1998 letter:
Finally, Mr. Wall was observed in the presence of Mr. Castagna shortly before the beating of Business Agent John Pezzente at his home on December 27, 1985. Mr. Pezzente could not make a positive identification, but he clearly described individuals meeting Mr. Wall and Mr. Castagnas general description in police reports, copies of which are attached.
The act of mailing and wiring again in or about March 2, 1998 police reports, copies of which are attached continues the 18 U.S.C 1962(d) mail and wire fraud conspiracy from 1985 to 1998 in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1341, 1343, for reasons of violating 1962(b)(c) and continuing into the Pezzente deposition November 26, 2001.
Next excerpt from deposition of defendant Pezzenti taken in 3:97-CV-00942(JCH) at Room 320, Hartford Federal Building, November 26, 2001:
Page 28:
Wall: Did they have ski masks on?
Pezzenti: did they have what?
Wall: Ski masks?
Pezzenti: No. no ski masks no.
Page 19:
Wall: You remember saying that you saw Mr. Sonny Castagna and I, on Franklin Avenue?
Pezzenti: Yes, I do. Thats one thing I remember real good.
Page 20
Wall: Yea?
Pezzenti: On a Friday at 3:15 am at 3:15 pm there was a booking place across the street, where RICO Petrillo and all those bookies go there. And you walked out of that bookie, down Elliot down Franklin Avenue, up Elliot Street, and you got into a gray Buick. And at my house about 20 minutes to five, I dont know who informed you where my house was, but you came running out. I got hit over the head several times, somebody yelling like a maniac and I was full of blood, and got up and yelled and I fell down, and then I ended up in the hospital. And I got one disc down here, and another one up here, which causes me to get dizzy and everything. And I got a separated stomach. You know what a separated stomach is? Well, Ill show you, I exercise every day. Heres that separated stomach (lifts shirt up). See that? (Hits self in stomach) that needs to be operated on. A big operation, on account of those clubs. And believe me, if I knew it was you. You wouldnt be sittin there
For the Courts understanding, defendant Pezzenti is a subordinate defendant placed purposely in hierarchal positions as a hierarchal actor in unlawful conduct dating back to Arthur Coia Sr 1970 to present day because he will repeat and or do whatever the Hierarchal defendants tell him to do. He is sometimes used as Business Manager in election schemes. Defendant Pezzenti is semi illiterate that is one of the reasons he is used, the same common purpose defendant Luskin uses defendant Haynes. He will sign anything or say anything. During defendant Pezzentis deposition he constantly positively identifying plaintiff Wall as one of the assailants and then in an inconsistent fashion, infers plaintiff Wall is the assailant. At membership meetings, he yells out to members positively it was plaintiff Wall including plaintiff Cooksey in the crime. The associate in fact defendants in this RICO case will do anything to stop him from being exposed to a jury or a judge.
ADDITIONAL COMPONENT PART ENTERPRISE RACKETEERING SCHEME (IN APRIL 9, 1996) 18 U.S.C. 1962(d)
Please take notice on the previous page the sentence (in April 9, 1996 Letter):
This attack also was in close proximity to instances where Wall and Grasso attempted to run then Business Manager Dominick Lopreato off the road
Before reading the excerpts from the following depositions (Cheverie, LeConche, Lopreato), please take notice of the word instances (Plural), intentionally plural for reasons of framing plaintiff Wall for 18 U.S.C. 1951/1961(5) predicates. In addition, take into consideration that there is an agreement between the D.O.J. and the Operating Agreement to use the Operating Agreements investigations as Grand Jury material.

Lopreato: No
Wall: You never made that statement?
Lopreato: No
Wall: We never, Mr. Grasso and I never tried to run you off the road?
Lopreato: Not me.
Wall: That is what I mean you would have called the F.B.I. wouldnt you?
Lopreato: I dont know if I wouldve called the F.B.I.
Wall: But you would do something?
Lopreato: I probably would have done something
Also regarding the Cheverie deposition of April 25, 2002
Page 9:
Wall: Okay. Finally the brutal beating of John Pezzente at his home two days after Christmas is undoubtedly linked to Mr. Walls criminal associations Im reading from the letter. If I say something that you dont agree with, correct me, please. In this regard Wall was observed by Pezzente in the presence of Grasso shortly before the beating occurred who relayed that to you?
Cheverie: John Pezzente
Wall: And I was seen with Mr. Grasso shortly before the beating occurred?
Cheverie: Thats what he told me?
PEZZENTE DEPOSITION NOVEMBER 26, 2001
Page 27:
Wall: (reading from April 9, 1996 letter) In this regard Wall was observed by Pezzente, in the presence of Grasso, shortly before the beating occurred
Pezzente: I dont know what youre talking about.
Wall: Well, Im just telling you what it says in the letter here
Pezzente: I dont know nothing about it.
Also in the Cheverie deposition of April 25, 2002 at Page 5:
Wall: Would you explain why its your opinion that Mr. Cooksey and I are barred?
Cheverie: Yeah. I think my opinion based upon what was told to me by members of the Laborers Local 230 of your association with Billy Grasso, an organized criminal figure, by extension Mr. Cookseys association with you, and my opinion would render you both barred.12
DEFENDANT CHEVERIE MAIL FRAUD 18 U.S.C. 1341 FABRICATION AND ISSUANCES OF FRAUDULENT FEDERAL SUBPOENAS ONE DATED MAY 11, 1998 THE OTHER DATED JANUARY 24, 2002
On January 24, 2002 plaintiff Cooksey was deposed in Room 320, Federal Building, Hartford, Connecticut by Attorney Robert M. Cheverie, Attorney Patrick Tomasiewicz and Attorney John T. Fussell in 3:97-CV-00942(JCH), plaintiff Wall present during the deposition plaintiff Cooksey realizes that the defendants attorneys have his psychiatric records.
Page 111:
Cooksey: Can anybody tell who was given the medical records.
Cheverie: They were subpoenaed.
Cooksey: From the Fund?
Cheverie: Yes what happened was your disability pension records were subpoenaed as part of your disability pension record.
Cooksey: they didnt have to notify me at all?
Cheverie: Not of the subpoena.
Wall: I didnt get a copy of the subpoena
Cooksey: I was never notified they are my medical records, absolutely only use of these records are inside the fund, absolutely. I signed a declaration to that.
Later in the deposition defendants entered defendants 44 and 45 Connecticut Laborers Pension Fund Pension print out forms. Upon review of the documents, plaintiff Wall noticed at the top of both documents a fax log which printed 01/24/2002 11:41 203-933-1083 CT Laborers page 2/4 on defendants 44 and a fax log on defendants 45 which printed 01/24/2002 11:41 203-933-1083 CT. Laborers page 3-4 page 4-4. The fax number 203-933-1083 is the fax number of Connecticut Laborers Pension Fund. Just prior to that plaintiff Wall noticed that Attorney Fussell was making calls on his cell phone and going into the hallway waiting for someone. Finally, when plaintiff Wall thought he had seen enough, he politely confronted the attorneys about their racketeering scheme.
Page 130:
Wall: Can I ask you a question here?
Cheverie: Not me, its not my I am done with the document
Page 131:
Wall: I cant ask you a question here?
Cheverie: No, I dont know that I could answer it even if you did.
Wall: Its a very simple question, I want to know if you, if you subpoenaed this document at the same time you subpoenaed the other thing.
Cheverie: of course.
Wall: You did
Cheverie: I would presume we did
Wall: Why was it just faxed to you today at 11:41 from the pension office, area code 203-983-1083? Let the record reflect that
Cheverie: Okay
Attorney Tomasiewicz: Let the record also reflect that Mr. Cheverie said I presume that it was subpoenaed versus, hold on sir, versus an intention on his part to record further reflect that during these proceedings an administrative assistant from Mr. Cheveries office came in here and let the record further reflect that during the questioning of Mr. Cooksey, Mr. Cheverie at all times was questioning was not outside the room, was not using the telephone to contact his office
Page 132
And let the record further reflect that it is possible that this was faxed today that Mr. Cheverie made a mistake. Lets go forward.
Wall: Let the record reflect also here that Mr. Fussell made a phone call 11:22, 11:29 and 11:53.
Attorney Tomasiewicz: thats fine. Thats fine.
Wall: and if anybody believes that you people arent working with the pension to rob our money, then we might as well watch cartoons.
See next in this 1962(d) racketeering scheme excerpts taken from deposition of Mr. Richard Weiss Executive Director of the Laborers Pension Funds April 29, 2002, Room 320 Hartford, Connecticut at page 67 Wall is reading off the Cooksey deposition of January 24, 2002:
Wall: Let the record reflect also here that Mr. Fussell made a phone call at 11:22, 11:29, 11:53. Now, I am going to stop reading this and ask you a question, Mr. Weiss, Do you recall Mr. Fussell calling your fund on the 29th those three times?
Director Weiss: I have a general recollection that he did call on or about that date
Attorney Paris: For the Fund and Weiss, (Murtha and Cullina): Ms. Paris I would like to say that I know Mr. Cheveries Office represents the fund; is that correct?
Director Weiss: yes he does
Ms. Paris: So that discussions of conversation between Fussell and Mr. Weiss may be privileged and since they are not here, I would
Wall: They waived on the record
Ms. Paris: That may well be. But I am in a position where I am representing someone, and I believe there is an attorney/client privilege there. I dont know what the extent of that is. I will at this point of this deposition, will not allow Mr. Weiss to say what the conversations with Mr. Fussell were.
Att. Tomasicwicz: I would absolutely join in with that objection
INCRIMINATING FACTS IN SUPPORT OF THE ISSUANCE OF (AFTER THE FACT) FRAUDULANT SUBPOENAS MAIL AND WIRE FRAUD 18 USC 1341, 18 USC 1343
FRAUDULENT SUBPOENA dated May 11, 1998 3:97-CV-02502(JCH)
Defendant Cheverie stated on the record that he relied on an attorney who was no longer affiliated with Attorney Cheverie for the issuance of the May 11, 1998 subpoena. Said attorneys name was Mr. David McCarry. Both Attorney Cheverie and Attorney Fussell said they had no idea how to contact Attorney McCarry. The plaintiffs found attorney McCarry through their own initiative. He was employed at a Bridgeport, Connecticut Law Firm. Attorney McCarry submitted an affidavit stating he had no recollection of issuing a subpoena. Attorney McCarry could not have a recollection of issuing the May 11, 1998 subpoena. Because he did not file an appearance in 3:97-CV-02502(JCH) until May 20, 1998 the subpoena was fraudulently dated May 11, 1998.
Also as of the date, May 11, 1998, Mr. Cooksey was a proposed plaintiff in 3:97-CV-2502(JCH) Attorney Cheverie was a defendant as of May 11, 1998. Mr. Cooksey was a proposed plaintiff by motion dated 8/4/98 entry date 8/5/98 Dkt. #53 2502(JCH). The Court by Ruling dated September 24, 1998 entry date September 25, 1998 2502(JCH) (Dkt. #58 Granted the plaintiffs motion to add additional parties. Quoting the Court in its relevant part. The court: ---Grants the plaintiffs motion to add additional parties [Dkt. No. 53] in particular, the plaintiff may add, as plaintiffs William Cooksey and Steven Manos
The Court can see by this illustration that at the time of the issuance of the fraudulently fabricated Federal Subpoena, Mr. Cooksey was a proposed plaintiff in 3:97-CV-02502(JCH) and Attorney Cheverie was a defendant and Attorney McCarry had not filed an appearance as of that date.
FRAUDULANT SUBPOENA DATED JANUARY 24, 2002 3:97-CV-00942(JCH)
In order to simplify and make apparent the fact that the January 24, 2002 subpoena which was issued under the LMRDA case 3:97-CV-00942(JCH) was fabricated and fraudulently mailed on February 14, 2002 the plaintiffs repeat again the testimony of Attorney Cheverie on January 24, 2002 at or about 12:30 1:00
Wall: Its very simple question, I want to know if you subpoenaed this document at the same time you subpoenaed the other thing.
Cheverie: Of course
Wall: You did
Cheverie: I would presume we did
Those statements by Attorney Cheverie are illogical and incriminating concerning the January 24, 2002 fraudulent fabricated, after the fact, Federal Subpoena. The January 24, 2002 subpoena dated under date and time January 24, 2002 9:00am. The issuing officer signature is that of Robert M. Cheverie. That would mean that in a time frame of (3) to (4) hours, Attorney Cheverie forgot he issued a subpoena for all records pertaining to William Cooksey, Sr.s pension. This is what substantive subsection 18 U.S.C. 1962(d) was written for (unions and their pensions) in the meaning of 18 U.S.C. 1961(4) and any union or group of individuals associate in fact although not a legal entity. Multiple violations of 18 U.S.C. 1341 and 1343 in a racketeering scheme to Ruthlessly Crush the plaintiff Rights and in so doing defraud the Court and the Judicial System.
After filing motions, which included documented Exhibits showing the serious fraud committed against plaintiff Cooksey Oral Argument was held on a Motion for Preliminary Injunction before Judge Hall on March 28, 2003. Included in the relief was a request for the Court to protect the plaintiffs from this serious breach of our Rights and for the Court to protect the integrity of the Court said relief was requested in motion form and at the oral argument.
Page 87 Oral Argument
Wall: Your Honor, and also, I think the Court should address the fraudulent subpoenas that Mr. Cheverie ---
The Court: I doubt that I would be addressing that
Wall: Why?
The Court: Because youve asked me to Grant a motion for Preliminary Injunction. Im going to address that.
Wall: But that should be in there, also.
The Court: Im glad that thats what you think. I will look at it when I take it under advisement.
The Court never addressed the fraudulent subpoenas or took it under advisement when Ruling against the plaintiff Rule 65 Injunction nor did the Court address the embezzlement 29 U.S.C. 501(c).
Wall At Page 86 Oral Argument
Wall: Your Honor, I would appreciate it if, in your opinion, you do address Attorney Cheverie and you do address the embezzlement of union funds under 501(c) and we are going to appeal, Your Honor, if
The Court: I assume if I rule for you, you wouldnt appeal
The avoidance of these issues i.e. fabricated after the fact, fraudulent Federal Subpoenas and embezzlement by abstraction of union funds for legal fees in violation of a signed agreement with the D.O.J. are not issues of discretion, discretion in the meaning of, does Judge Hall have the discretionary right not to address those issues. She does not. Those issues inter alia caused and are causing severe proximate harm to the plaintiffs and severe harm to the membership and sever harm to the integrity of a Federal Courtroom. In addition, the defendants committing these 18 U.S.C. 1961(1) crimes do not only harm the plaintiffs, in addition, by Judge Hall refusing to address these crimes Judge Hall emboldened and encourages the defendants and their attorneys to continue their flagrant disrespect for the Courtroom and its Rules. See in addition wrongdoer No. 9 District Judge Janet C. Hall at page 78 of this RICO Complaint.
DEFENDANT CONNECTICUT LABORERS FUNDS 435 Captain Thomas Boulevard P. O. Box 569, West Haven, Connecticut 06516. From in or about 1992 (in this Civil RICO Complaint) to present day, the Connecticut Laborers Fund has been Influenced and Controlled by the 18 U.S.C. 1961(4) associate in fact enterprise that also controls LIUNA and Local 230 in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1962(d) for reasons of violating 1962(b)(c).
DEFENDANT RICHARD WEISS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CONNECTICUT LABORERS FUNDS
From in or about January 15, 1992 and continuing to present day, defendant Weiss participated in the affairs of an enterprise (18 U.S.C. 1961(4) in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1962(c) by conspiring with defendants LeConche and Lopreato (union trustees) in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1962(d) to embezzle plaintiff Walls and plaintiff Cookseys pension by an act of fraudulent depletion (plaintiff Walls entire pension) in violation of 18 U.S.C. 664 see: United States v. San Tiago 528 Fed. Rep. 2d 1130(2d Cir. 1976)
Id. 1130 --and that instruction that use by defendants of welfare fund monies for purposes other than those which the contributors intended meant same thing as conversion to defendants own use or to the use of another was not prejudicially erroneous. Also see Finding No. 1 Id 1131 General fund of union falls within meaning of term another as used in statute proscribing the conversion to ones own use or to the use of another the funds or assets of a welfare fund 18 U.S.C. 664
On January 15, 1992 both plaintiff Wall and plaintiff Cooksey signed for amounts to be appropriated into their pensions Backpay Agreement signed by Michael s. Bearse for Local 230, Peter B. Hoffman National Labor Relation Board, Wall signing for 13,420.74 and Cooksey signing for 11,364.92. Said Backpay Agreement stated in it relevant part Full and complete performance by Laborers Local 230 of its obligations under this agreement shall constitute full and complete compliance by Laborers Local 230 of its backpay obligation.
The plaintiffs quote now relevant excerpts of defendant Weiss deposition taken January 7, 2002, 450 Main Street, Hartford, CT. :
Page 9:
Wall: Did Mr. Cooksey receive 11,364.92 in his pension?
Weiss: Well, I would have to go back and look.
Wall: Take your time. I am going to go get a drink of water.
Attorney Paris: He is ready
Weiss: I believe that the record reflects that the pension fund did receive that amount of money in connection with Mr. Cooksey.
Page 10:
Wall: That is not the question I asked you. The question I asked, did Mr. Cooksey receive 11,364.92 in his pension fund?
Weiss: No he did not.
Now to page 11 Re: plaintiff Walls pension
Page 11:
Wall: Now, that is also signed by Michael Bearse, I believe. Peter Hoffman, and that is my signature, Gary Wall. That also states full and complete performance by Laborers Local 230 of its obligation under this agreement shall constitute full and complete compliance by Laborers Local 230 of its backpay obligation to Wall. Do you see the amount 13,420.94? Did Wall receive $13,420.94 in his pension?
Weiss: No, he did not
Later in the deposition of defendant Weiss plaintiff Wall is reading off documents subpoenaed from the fund for the deposition of January 7, 2002.
Page 27
Wall: For example here, pension total for 0087 for Gary Wall $13,420.94 correct?
Weiss: Yes, it is.
Wall: Yes it is
Wall: So why does that come off my figure for 13,420.94? Someone puts money in the pension plan, doesnt your pension plan grow by its interest? Why should I be penalized for that? What is the answer to that?
Weiss: Those were the arrangements agreed upon between counsel for the fund and the NLRB.
That was January 7, 2002. On March 21, 2003, plaintiff Wall filed with the Office of the General Counsel, Washington, D. C. 20570, an NLRB 102.118 request that was granted by John H. Ferguson, Associate General Counsel, on April 28, 2003. The principle question of the 102.118 request was directed to the (at that time) compliance lawyer NLRB Region 34 Hartford, now Assistant Regional Director Chicago NLRB Ms. Gail Moran.
Principle Relevant Question:
