DATE OF CONFERENCE

A pretrial conference was held before Judge Edward W. Nottingham commencing at 3:15 p.m. on April 20, 2007. The Plaintiff appeared pro se. Defendant James A. Montoya

("Montoya") was represented by Awilda R. Marquez of Hall & Evans, LLC. Defendants R. Lynn Keener, Robert Scranton, and the Estate of Opal Wilson were represented by Robert J. M. Scranton of Scranton P.C. 2. JURISDICTION

This Court has jurisdiction under federal question pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1331 and under 28 U.S.C. § 1343(3). Plaintiff's claims of denial of his right of access to the courts and retaliation are brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. The subject matter jurisdiction of this Court is admitted by Defendants. 3. A. Plaintiff's Claims. CLAIMS AND DEFENSES

B.

Defenses of Defendant Montoya Montoya denies he initiated an investigation into Plaintiff's lawsuits against Opal Wilson

in order to prevent execution of the default judgments Plaintiff obtained in the lawsuits. Montoya acted in response to a request by the Representative of the Estate of Opal Wilson who, in the process of closing the Estate, uncovered two liens that Plaintiff had filed against Opal Wilson's property while he was incarcerated in prison and suspected wrongful activity by Plaintiff. Montoya's investigation of allegations of fraud against Plaintiff was proper and

authorized under law. Montoya's investigation of Plaintiff's two civil actions concluded that Plaintiff had submitted fraudulent returns of service in order to obtain default judgments against Opal Wilson. Montoya shared his findings with the district attorney, who initiated criminal charges against Plaintiff. A jury found Plaintiff guilty of attempted theft based on his pursuit of the Opal Wilson cases. Montoya denies he violated Plaintiff's constitutional rights. Montoya denies he retaliated against Plaintiff, whether because Plaintiff filed civil actions and obtained judgments against Opal Wilson, or otherwise. Montoya denies he denied Plaintiff meaningful access to the courts. Montoya denies that the actions he took regarding Plaintiff were taken with retaliatory intent. Montoya states that the actions he took to investigate allegations of fraud by Plaintiff were taken for legitimate investigatory and penological purposes, including the placement of Plaintiff in administrative segregation. Montoya denies it was punitive segregation. Montoya denies that his request to limit Plaintiff's phone privileges was intended to prevent Plaintiff from communicating with his attorneys. He denies that the limitation on phone privileges prevented Plaintiff from communicating with his attorneys. Montoya denies that the seizure of Plaintiff's documents and books as evidence in support of criminal charges was retaliatory in nature. He denies that his request that Plaintiff be transferred from the private prison to a Colorado Department of Corrections facility was retaliatory in nature. Montoya states that the actions were taken for legitimate investigatory and penological purposes. Montoya also denies he submitted a false and perjurious affidavit describing the results of his investigation in support of the motions of Defendants R. Lynn Keener and the Estate of Opal

Wilson to void the default judgments obtained by Plaintiff. Montoya states the affidavit was drafted and submitted for legitimate investigatory and penological purposes. Montoya denies he visited Plaintiff's pastor to cause strife and conflict between them. He denies he contacted the Denver Post with libelous and misleading information. He denies he "shopped" for a district attorney to file criminal charges against Plaintiff. Montoya states that the actions were taken for legitimate investigatory and penological purposes. Montoya denies that, but for alleged retaliation on his part, Plaintiff would have obtained default judgments against Opal Wilson totaling $70,000 plus costs and interest. Montoya denies Plaintiff's right of access to the courts was violated at all, whether by Montoya or otherwise. As defenses and affirmative defenses, Montoya asserts the following: The Complaint fails to state any claim as to which any relief may be granted respecting the Montoya. Plaintiff's litigation against Opal Wilson was a sham, was fraudulent and frivolous, and does not constitute conduct protected by the United States Constitution. Plaintiff failed to exhaust his available administrative remedies pertinent to some or all of his claims attempted by the Complaint, requiring the dismissal of all such claims. Plaintiff's claims against Montoya in his official capacity are barred by the Eleventh Amendment to the United States Constitution. Plaintiff's claims against Montoya in his official capacity are barred because Montoya is not a "person" within the meaning of 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff's claims against Montoya do not rise to the level of constitutional violations sufficient to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. Montoya's actions were taken for legitimate, nondiscriminatory, penological purposes. Plaintiff fails to state a claim for punitive damages against Montoya in his individual capacity. Plaintiff's

claim for punitive damages against Montoya in his official capacity is barred as a matter of law. The injuries and damages sustained by Plaintiff were proximately caused by his own acts or omissions and/or the acts or omissions of third parties over whom Montoya has no control or right of control. Montoya in his individual capacity is entitled to qualified immunity from Plaintiff's claims of constitutional violations. Plaintiff failed to mitigate his damages, if any, as required by law. Montoya may not be held liable on the basis of a theory of vicarious liability or respondeat superior for any alleged violation of the United States Constitution. Montoya's conduct was at all times lawful, justified and privileged and any actions complained of by Plaintiff in relation to Montoya were justified for penological reasons. All actions of Montoya taken with respect to Plaintiff were taken in good faith and were reasonable under the circumstances. The Affidavits filed by Montoya in the underlying lawsuits against Opal Wilson are protected under the doctrine set forth in Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477 (1994). Plaintiff is precluded from challenging the truthfulness and validity of the Affidavits that Montoya filed because such a challenge would call into question the legitimacy of Plaintiff's criminal convictions in 04CR11 on two felony counts of Attempted Theft (greater than $15,000), which were based on the Affidavits and Montoya's testimony in support thereof, and the convictions have not been reversed, expunged, or declared invalid. Plaintiff's civil claims against Opal Wilson for payment for services allegedly provided and goods allegedly sold were fraudulent and frivolous, and his lawsuits against Opal Wilson constituted sham litigation.

Plaintiff is precluded under offensive collateral estoppel (issue preclusion) from submitting evidence regarding the validity of his civil claims against Opal Wilson because, in a trial in which Plaintiff had a full and fair opportunity to litigate, the identical claims, and the actions of Plaintiff in prosecuting them, were found by a jury of Plaintiff's peers in 04CR11 to have constituted felony Attempted Theft. The jury necessarily found on the merits that

Plaintiff's actions in filing and prosecuting the two lawsuits, including filing notices of service of process that were fraudulent and using the fraudulent notices to obtain default judgments, constituted intentional and substantial steps toward knowingly obtaining or exercising control over funds from Opal Wilson or her Estate by deception with the intent to permanently deprive her or her Estate of those funds. Pomeroy v. Waitkus, 183 Colo. 344, 350 (Colo. 1973); Burrell v. Armijo, 456 F.3d 1159, 1172 (10th Cir. 2006). C. Defenses of Amended Defendants Keener, Scranton and Estate of Opal Wilson Amended Defendants deny they took any actions that would restrict Plaintiff's access to the courts. Amended Defendants acted only in the best interests of the Estate of Opal Wilson while acting as fiduciaries of the Estate. Defendants at no time had any opportunities or authority, either implicit or explicit, to deny Plaintiff access to telephone services, attorney services, legal research or any other services necessary for the Plaintiff to access the court. Amended Defendants have an affirmative duty to the Estate of Opal Wilson to defend the estate from bogus or fraudulent liens pursuant to their respective fiduciary duties owed to the Estate. As such, Plaintiff never demonstrated that the factual basis for his lawsuits were

grounded in verifiable facts. In Plaintiff's lawsuit against the Decedent in 2002, Plaintiff alleged

6

Case 1:04-cv-01271-EWN-BNB

Document 304

Filed 04/13/2007

Page 7 of 17

that he performed repair services on the Decedent's residence. Amended Defendants verified through their own personal inspection that no repairs had in fact been done to the residence within the five years or so preceding the Decedent's death. At no time did the Plaintiff offer any specific proof of the type of repairs and maintenance completed on the residence. In Plaintiff's lawsuit against the Decedent in 2003, Plaintiff alleged to have sold the Decedent unspecified merchandise. Not until Plaintiff's appeal of the District Court's decision did plaintiff provide specific information regarding the delivery of a "Federal Sideboard" to the Decedent. No such Federal Sideboard was in the possession of the Decedent at the time of her death. No property was sold by the decedent or gifted by the decedent during the time period wherein the Plaintiff claims to have delivered the Federal Sideboard to the decedent up to and including her death. Additionally, no break-ins, thefts or removal of property occurred at the decedent's residence during this same period of time between the alleged delivery of the Sideboard and the Decedent's death. Therefore, the circumstantial evidence would point to the fabrication of facts wherein the Plaintiff alleged to have delivered the Federal Sideboard to the decedent. Amended Defendants are private citizens. Therefore, amended defendants could not have acted on behalf of the State. It follows that Amended Defendants could therefore not have been state actors. Amended Defendant, R. Lynn Keener, contacted the State of Colorado prison system after discovering that two judgment liens were recorded against the Decedent's residence while in the process of administering the Estate. That contact was based on Keener's discovery, through an Internet search, that Patrick M. Hawkinson had previously sued the Governor of the

7

Case 1:04-cv-01271-EWN-BNB

Document 304

Page 8 of 17

State of Colorado as a prison inmate. Upon the discovery of this fact, Keener initially suspected the judgment liens were the product of identity theft and fraud because he was aware of the Decedent's finances and business dealings prior to her death. As the Decedent's nephew, Keener possessed intimate knowledge of the Decedent's property, finances and dealings during the critical time periods at issue in this case. After Keener's initial inquiry to the Colorado

Department of Prisons, the Department assigned Inspector James Montoya to investigate the validity of the source documents in the two civil cases wherein the default judgments had been obtained. Amended Defendant Scranton, as the attorney for the Estate, and Keener, the Personal Representative of the Estate, communicated with Inspector Montoya regarding the results of his investigation and prepared an affidavit based on Montoya's findings. Scranton included the affidavit in motions to have both default judgments vacated on the basis of fraud upon the court. Plaintiff, while represented by attorney Kent Gray, was unable to overcome, by evidence or any other means, the statements of Investigator Montoya. The court vacated both default judgments. Attorney Gray withdrew as counsel for Plaintiff soon after being presented with the affidavit of Inspector Montoya. Amended Defendant Scranton prepared a second affidavit based entirely on the first affidavit and using the exact same language, word for word, to rebut the Plaintiff's subsequent and numerous motions in the 2003 civil case, referencing the 2002 civil case as a basis for demonstrating the Plaintiff's bad acts in another civil case regarding the same parties. The second affidavit does not amend the first affidavit, but merely restates a portion of the first

affidavit regarding the facts and circumstances surrounding the frauds committed against the Decedent in the 2002 civil case as an evidentiary matter. Amended Defendants did not act in a conspiracy with Inspector Montoya to deprive the Plaintiff of his civil rights. There is no evidence of any agreement among the Amended

Defendants to act in any conspiracy to harm the Plaintiff. Amended Defendants do, however, owe a fiduciary duty to the Estate of Opal Wilson. As such, the Amended Defendants did act in concert in the defense of the Plaintiff's fraudulent claims and liens as against the Decedent and subsequently the Decedent's Estate. Amended Defendants did not act at the direction of any State agency, employee or order of any court. Therefore, Amended Defendants were not acting under the color of any State authority and were not State actors for the purpose of the Plaintiff's claims as against the Amended Defendants. During discovery in the two underlying civil cases and in the probate case for the Estate of Opal Wilson, which is ongoing and currently set for trial on July 6, 2007, Plaintiff has failed to provide Amended Defendants with any tangible evidence that would establish that any of the foregoing defenses are not available, viable or valid. [Summarize the claims and defenses of all parties, including the respective versions of the facts and legal theories. Do not copy the pleadings. Identify the specific relief sought. Eliminate claims and defenses which are unnecessary, unsupported, or no longer asserted.]
