Dear Madam Justice,

I'm sending you this even though you are in North Carolina and I am here Minnesota, this is an issue that impacts all citizens everywhere not just here. I'd like you to review, use it and post it however you see fit. There is a serious problem and public health risk in the
courts we the people depend on to protect us. My case is not unique,I just happen to be the first Minnesota citizen to have a diagnosed injury PTSD (LAS) as the result of fraud abusive legal proceedings,and corruption in connection to a family court.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), sub category specifically from abusive legal proceedings generically coined “Legal Abuse Syndrome” LAS) My case closed over a year ago but the wound still remains and its no different than PTSD Combat Trauma or PTSD in Victims of Torture - in fact diagnosed on the same MMPI sub scale. Let me stress (no pun intended) that PTSD is an inflicted injury - not a mental illness. Its
an assault behind the judicial curtain were no one hears you - let alone the judge. We who have been exposed to that need to affirm and empower each other, do what we can. Call the it by name and make it
known.

Strangely enough after reaching the point where they had burned my rights to the ground leaving no the court or hope of a fair hearing remedy and redress all denied and out of reach....I do not despair...instead I have reached the point of empowerment,and have found my voice as a revolutionary, That's what happens under tyranny,look at history.

You are courageous and hold fast to the values set forth in Rule 11-candor, honesty and good faith, that takes courage in today's world and I admire that dear Lady. Never bow to abuse, lies cannot stand against the truth......No more than judicial immunity can stand
against the constitution.

You are indeed Madam Justice

Respectfully Submitted, .

Kimberley Bukstein

PRESS RELEASE – for immediate release Oct 9 2009
Fraud, Corruption and Legal Abuse in Minnesota Courts poses a Public Health Risk that can result in a Diagnosable Injury and Disability in its victims.
Kimberley Bukstein is the first Minnesota citizen to have a diagnosed injury PTSD (LAS) as the result of abusive legal proceedings, fraud, and corruption in connection to a family court case in Ramsey County Second Judicial District, Referee Earl Beddow presided over 2006-2008.
Karen Huffer MS MFT Author of “Legal Abuse Syndrome” leading authority on Psycholegal Trauma and expert witness in federal courts, diagnosed Ms. Bukstein’s PTSD (LAS). Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), sub category specifically from abusive legal proceedings generically coined “Legal Abuse Syndrome” (LAS). It is an injury not a mental illness. PTSD is recognized by Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as a disability, LAS shows the cause and points directly at those who prosecuted Ms. Bukstein’s case 2006-2008 engaging in frauds to pervert the judicial process and inflict harms upon Ms. Bukstein while denying her due process for two years, eventually resulting in her injury and disability.
According to an article By Karin Huffer, M.S., M.F.T. and Barbara Parrett, M.S., R.N., C.N.S. “PTSD/LAS is a traumatic reaction that follows a severe usually invisible impact event in the Court. The event is usually traced to the moment adjudication favors the side committing fraud on the court through misinformation be used as strategy. There is no rational defense against a lie leaving the one defrauded helpless in the face of jeopardy; the formula for PTSD”. (Judicial System Inaccessibility for Those with Psychiatric Injury Legal Abuse Syndrome as a Psychiatric Injury and Diagnosable Subcategory of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder By Karin Huffer, M.S., M.F.T. and Barbara Parrett, M.S., R.N., C.N.S.Published in part in Diogenes the magazine, Fall Edition, 2005 p.8 -10 and 34.)
Ms. Bukstein is the victim of a crime, but the officials involved are the ones in power.
A Court inflicting injury on those it is supposed to protect should be cause for alarm among Minnesota citizens.
Although Ms. Bukstein is the first in Minnesota with the diagnosis that proves legal abuse, what happened to her is not an isolated incident. Many have suffered similar legal abuses in Ramsey and Hennepin County courts, throughout the state, and nationwide. According to news reports the problem in family courts is pandemic across the country. The state of California is currently investigating its family courts for fraud, corruption and cronyism. . Ms. Bukstein; a resident of Ramsey County, Minnesota with an official diagnosis of a serious injury directly tied to fraud and legal abuses on the part of judicial officers and legal professionals, should be cause for alarm among Minnesota citizens. Yet so far no one appears to want to help.
Feb 2008-Oct 2009 a series of events occurred that indicate Ramsey County and Court Officials are engaging in a Cover up of Judicial misconduct and Fraud.
Ms. Bukstein’s report and diagnosis is in essence “the smoking gun” that points directly at the unlawful acts of the Judge and other legal professionals involved in her case.
Shortly after Ms. Bukstein’s family court case closed in Jan 2008, Karen Huffer MS MFT issued an official report that revealed all. The Report included diagnosis and cause of injury, requesting 6 reasonable ADA accommodations to ensure a fair hearing, these included being allowed to ask questions and to have an ADA advocate present. Ms. Bukstein’s ADA Advocate Larry Rider of ADA Advocacy properly submitted the report and request to Carol Morphew Ramsey County ADA coordinator Feb 2008.
Despite the report being clearly marked confidential and containing Ms. Bukstein’s HIPAA protected medical report, Carol Morphew upon receiving the report without Ms. Bukstein’s’ knowledge or permission passed the report to a number of Ramsey County and Court Officials throughout the district who in turn provided the report to Referee Beddow ex parte.
Referee Beddow forwarded Ms. Bukstein’s report along with a judicial memorandum in March 2008 to a host of high powered officials in Ramsey county, including the Chief Judge, omitting reference to the attached report and Karen Huffer’s official diagnosis of PTSD LAS skillfully worded the memorandum to imply Ms Bukstein had committed a fraud and .. “if there was a valid claim for accommodation” she submit the request before his court in the form of legal pleadings “to best afford the court the opportunity to assess the bona fides of Ms Bukstein’s current claim” achieving by means of a memorandum a complicated obstruction to Ms. Bukstein’s ADA accommodations request without means for appeal.
According to Peter Berg Project Coordinator Technical Assistance DBTAC Great Lakes ADA Center; Referee Beddow’s requirement is an unlawful procedure in violation of Ms Bukstein’s rights; “Title II of the ADA only requires an individual with a disability requiring a modification to make that request known to the department, program or activity for which the modification is needed. No one would have the authority to require that someone make a request for a modification through the court system. Additionally, the ADA is a federal law and any lawsuits filed under it would go through the federal court system. Your friend has the right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice. I have provided below a link to the Title II complaint form.”
For over a year Ms Bukstein has run in to road blocks at every level and is denied help and assistance.
Efforts by Ms. Bukstein and her ADA Advocate Larry Rider to find help and assistance have been met with denials, and evasions by those whose role is to serve the public and support the rights of disabled citizens.
Since 2008 Referee Beddow has obstructed Ms Bukstein’s ADA accommodations by imposing an unlawful procedure that ADA technical assistance confirmed is a discriminatory practice in violation of her rights. Unable to afford an attorney, Ms. Bukstein turned to the Minnesota Disability Law Center (MDLC) for help, however Jerry Lane Executive Director of MDLC sent Ms Bukstein an email indicating he and his staff had researched the matter and support Referee Beddow’s methods; that his staff had “researched the process which is set by the courts for requesting a reasonable accommodation in a court proceeding. The court apparently followed that process, and did not treat (Ms Bukstein) differently from other people seeking a reasonable accommodation” Mr. Lane has consistently skirted the issue detailing what procedure set forth by the court that might be in accordance with the law.
Ms Bukstein remains without access to the court and without ADA accommodations guaranteed by the US Constitution.
Before her injury Ms. Bukstein was executive director for over a decade of a major non-profit health and wellness organization here in Minnesota, and spearheaded initiatives that effected systems change to benefit the lives of all Minnesotans. Ms. Bukstein now again brings those skills to bear to address this current problem impacting hers and the lives of Minnesota citizens and has established Minnesota Citizens Against Legal Abuse.
Minnesota Citizens Against Legal Abuse is a grassroots organization. Fraud, Corruption and Legal Abuse in our Minnesota Courts is a Public Health Risk that can result in Diagnosable Injury and Disability in victims. County and Court Officials Cover up Judicial misconduct and Frauds to keep corruption concealed and deny victims due process for remedy and redress. Many people in Minnesota have been victims of a corrupt court system and suffer from the abusive tactics of attorneys, court officials, and other professionals, finding help and assistance difficult to obtain.
If you or anyone you know has been harmed by abusive legal tactics or suspect officials are engaging fraud, would like to provide support to halt legal abuse, have questions, comments or would like more information please contact us at MnCitizensALA@gmail.com
