    Appellees, Lisa Liberi [hereinafter Liberi]; Philip J. Berg, Esquire

    [hereinafter Berg], the Law Offices of Philip J. Berg; Evelyn Adams a/k/a

    Momma E [hereinafter Adams]; Lisa Ostella [hereinafter Ostella]; and Go

    Excel Global by and through their undersigned counsel, Philip J. Berg, Esquire,

    files the within Response in Opposition to Appellants, Orly Taitz and Defend our

    Freedoms Foundations, Inc. [hereinafter DOFF] frivolous Motion for Sanctions

    and to Strike Appellees Brief.

    STATEMENT OF FACTS:

    The case regarding Plaintiff and Appellee Lisa Liberi against

    Defendant/Appellant Orly Taitz is about Appellant, Attorney Orly Taitz's through

    her company, DOFF, threatening to take Philip J. Berg, Esquire down and to do so

    she was going to destroy his Paralegal (Appellee Liberi) and get rid of her;

    illegally running background checks, illegally obtaining; illegally posting on the

    World Wide Web (all over the Internet); illegally sending by mass emailing,

    including internationally; sending by mass mailing; and handing out to individuals

    Appellee Lisa Liberi's full Social Security number, date of birth, place of birth,

    residence, husband's Social Security number, mother's maiden name, father's name

    and other confidential information1, as well as other illegal tactics of Appellant

    Taitz. See the Complaint filed in the Lower Court, May 4, 2009, Docket Number 1.

    Appellant Taitz did all these actions and more as an "Officer of the Court".

    This case has nothing to do as Appellant Taitz falsely claims in her

    Appellant Brief and/or in her instant Motion. Appellant Taitz, who is a licensed

    Attorney, continually files with this Court and the Lower Court, false statements as

    to what the case is about and the reasons Appellees filed the within action.

    Appellants filed their Brief and Appendice on November 2, 2010.

    Appellants Brief contained many false statements and accusations. In fact, Taitz's

    Brief is packed with false and deceptive practices. In particular, Appellant Taitz

    made accusations against Appellees witness, Shirley Waddell, claiming Ms.

    Waddell made statements in her Affidavits which were never made and claimed

    that Appellees suborned perjury. As a result, Appellees provided the Affidavits of

    Shirley Waddell to support their position and so this Court could see that Appellant

    Taitz falsified her statements to this Court. Appellees were also forced to produce

    other documents filed with the Lower Court as Appellant, Orly Taitz, an attorney,

    falsified to this Court what was actually stated in said documents.

    1 With all the confidential information Appellant, Orly Taitz sent out on Appellee

    Lisa Liberi, any unknown person has all the information to obtain primary identitydocuments in Appellee Lisa Liberi's name.

    Additionally, Appellants Appendices contained forged and altered

    documents, which were not part of the rulings under review. In particular, was

    Appellant Taitz's Exhibit seven [7] a statement with attached documents from

    Geoff Staples. The attached documents had been altered and forged, and Appellee

    Lisa Liberi's email was fraudulently input on the documents to appear as if she sent

    the email. As a result, Appellants filed the proof with this Court to show the

    forgeries and alterations of the documents that Appellant Taitz filed as genuine.

    Appellant Taitz was put on notice in the Lower Court regarding the forgeries.

    Further, on November 2, 2010, when Appellants filed their Brief and

    Appendices, Appellant Taitz failed to include the required documents in her

    Appendice. For example, Appellant Taitz failed to attach her Notice of Appeal;

    and attached documents which she (Appellant Taitz) filed in the Lower Court

    while this matter was on Appeal with this Court.

    Appellant Taitz's tactics have been severely prejudicial to the within

    Appellees. When Appellants filed their Brief and Appendices on November 2,

    2010, they failed to comply with the Court's Rules and therefore received a Non-

    Compliance Order from the Court on November 10, 2010. See EXHIBIT "A".

    Appellant Taitz was directed to number her pages and re-file her Brief and

    Appendices 1 and 2 and that the Electronic and Hard Copy Appendice "must be

    identical". What Appellant Taitz did was not only number her Appendice pages,

    she filed an additional one hundred [100] pages (supplemental pages) without

    filing a proper Motion to this Court and to cure the defects mentioned in Appellees

    Brief to make it appear Appellees were dishonest in their filings.

    As this Court can also see from its own docket, Appellant Taitz has been

    extremely busy clogging the docket with frivolous and repeated filings, which also

    is completely improper.

    Appellant Taitz has now filed this frivolous Motion for Sanctions and to

    Strike the Appellees Brief. Appellants Motion is filled with nothing but rhetoric,

    which contain numerous untrue and falsified statements and has absolutely nothing

    to do with the within Appeal or Appellees Brief. Moreover, Appellant Taitz failed

    to adhere toFederal Rules of Appellate Procedure (FRAP), Rule 27.

    When a Motion is filed with the Appellate Court, the party filing the Motion

    must state with particularity the grounds for the motion, the relief sought, and the

    legal argument necessary to support it. See FRAP, Rule 27(a)(2)(A). Appellant has

    failed to outline the particular grounds for her Motion. More importantly,

    Appellant Taitz has failed to cite any legal argument and/or authority necessary to

    support her Motion. Appellant Taitz cites a few cases, none of which are binding

    upon this Court, not one case from the Third Circuit or Pennsylvania. Instead,

    Appellant Taitz's Motion is replete with false statements, false accusations, false

    What Taitz has provided is a purported picture of Appellee Lisa Liberi, which

    Taitz's claims is a "mug shot".

    It is important for this Court to note, on November 10, 2010, three (3) days

    after Appellees filed their Brief in this Appeal, and three (3) days after Appellant

    Taitz was served, Appellee Liberi received an email from

    [email protected] stating, "Love your new website". See EXHIBIT

    "B". At the same time, a website was fraudulently set-up at http://lisaliberi.com

    with horrid comments and statements purporting to be coming from Appellee Lisa

    Liberi, with this purported picture on every page of the website, that Taitz has been

    continually filing in the Court's. See EXHIBIT "C". Appellee Liberi does not

    own any websites, she did not authorize anyone to use her name and/or set up any

    type of website in her name. Since this fraudulent website contains the same

    statements made by Appellants, especially Taitz, and the website contains this

    picture in the possession of Orly Taitz as demonstrated by the Court filings, it is

    believed Appellant Orly Taitz set-up or caused to be set-up this horrid website in

    Appellee Liberi's name as punishment for Appellees filing their Brief. This has

    also been the same type of behaviors demonstrated by Appellant Taitz and the

    other Appellants all through the litigation in the underlying case.

    Appellant Taitz has made many false statements in her instant Motion. It

    would take Appellees numerous pages to address every false statement, for this

    Case: 10-3000 Document: 003110354767 Page: 10 Date Filed: 11/20/2010

  • 8/8/2019 LIBERI v TAITZ (APPEAL - 3rd CIRCUIT) - Appellees Response in Opposition to Motion to Strike and Sanctions

    11/52

    reason, only a couple of instances are being pointed out. On page 5 of Appellant

    Taitz's Motion she states, "Berg filed multiple motions in the District Court and

    in the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, requesting this case to be sealed, claiming

    that Liberi's life is in danger. Neither the District Court nor the Third Circuit

    Court of Appeals ever found any value in Berg's claims and never granted his

    motions" [emphasis added]. The undersigned has not filed one Motion in this

    Court or the Lower Court as demonstrated by the Court's own Dockets, requesting

    this case to be sealed.

    Appellant Taitz' continues stating, "When the Third Circuit Court of

    Appeals issued an order to show cause to Berg, to show why within a period of

    half a year he never produced a transcript, that he was appealing, Berg abruptly

    withdrew his interlocutory appeal." [emphasis added] Another fraudulent

    statement and direct lie to this Court by Appellant Taitz who is a licensed Attorney

    in this Court. This Court did not issue an Order to Show Cause upon the

    undersigned. See Liberi, et al v. Taitz, et al, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third

    Circuit, Case No. 09-3403, February 2, 2010, Order directing the Court Reporter to

    Show Cause Why she had Failed to Timely File the Transcript. See EXHIBIT

    "D" and February 17, 2010, Joan Carr's Response to the Court's Order to Show

    Cause stating the Transcript was sealed. See EXHIBIT "E". The undersigned

    Moved to Withdraw and/or Dismiss the Appeal on April 21, 2010, Case No. 09-

    Case: 10-3000 Document: 003110354767 Page: 11 Date Filed: 11/20/2010

    3403 as Taitz continued publishing Appellee Liberi's full Social Security number

    and other illegal tactics of Taitz. A Restraining Order would not prevent the

    severe damages already suffered by Appellee Lisa Liberi. See EXHIBIT "F".

    Appellant Taitz is correct, the undersigned did refuse to file a Joint

    Appendix as a result of Taitz's continued filing of false and forged documents. In

    fact, the undersigned has told Appellant Taitz that all communications are to be in

    writing as a result of Taitz's continued falsified statements, stories and lies to the

    Court. Moreover, as this Court is aware,Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure,

    Rule 30 required the Appellants to serve on the Appellees a designation of the parts

    of the record the Appellants intended to include in their Appendix and a Statement

    of the Issues they Intended to Raise. Appellants never complied. Appellees were

    not even aware of what the issues were that were being raised, nor did Appellants

    state in their Appellants Brief the Statement of Issues.

    Appellant Taitz has published every bit of private confidential personal

    information of Appellee Liberi and has made serious threats against the Appellees,

    continually incited violence against the Appellees, has even put out a family photo

    of Appellee Liberi, which Taitz illegally obtained, with an address purported to be

    that of Appellee Liberi. Appellant Taitz has even gone on radio shows talking

    about Appellee Liberi stating, "And I have provided directions, I have provided

    Case: 10-3000 Document: 003110354767 Page: 12 Date Filed: 11/20/2010

    the pictures."2 Appellant Taitz only wants Appellee Liberi's Driver's License to

    carry out her threats and publish it all over the Internet as she has done with

    everything else.

    ARGUMENT

    I. 28 U.S.C. 1927 is INAPPLICABLE and SANCTIONS are NOT

    WARRANTED:

    Appellant Taitz fails to cite one Pennsylvania and/or Third Circuit case.

    Instead, she continues using case law, which this Court is not bound to. Appellant

    also argues all through her Motion her rhetoric, which are irrelevant and that this

    Court is without jurisdiction to entertain.

    Despite this, Taitz states in her Motion at page 12, " 1927 is applicable to

    appellate briefs. A penalty of $ 1,000 was imposed upon counsel under 1927 for

    submitting appellate briefs which utilized typo-graphical techniques to effectively

    reduce 70-page brief to 50 pages in contravention of Federal Rules of Appellate

    Procedure. Westinghouse Electric Corp. v NLRB, 809 F2d 419 (7th

    Cir. 1987).

    Lack of meaningful argument in a brief filed on behalf of appellant rendered

    appeal frivolous and needlessly burdened appellees, thus justifying assessment of

    costs against appellant's counsel personally. Lisa v Fournier Marine Corp., 866

    2 August 30, 2010 Andrea Shea King Show with guest, Orly Taitzhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/askshow/2010/08/31/the-andrea-shea-king-show at 49:47

    F2d 530 (1st Cir. 1989). Attorney was sanctioned $500 where a brief cited no

    relevant cases, devoted itself almost entirely to a non-issue in the case, and failed

    to make even one citation to record where relevant. Plattenburg v Allstate Ins.

    Co., 918 F2d 562 (5th Cir. 1990)."

    Appellant Taitz cites the case of Plattenburg v Allstate Ins. Co., 918 F2d

    562 (5th

    Cir. 1990) but fails to inform this Court that this case, even though this

    Court is not bound to it, the case goes to the heart of what Appellant has done in

    her brief and this very Motion. The Court stated:

    "After reviewing the record, we conclude that Plattenburg's attorney,Maryam Jamilah, has unreasonably multiplied the proceedings in thiscase. She has pursued an appeal in a case that has little basis in fact.She has filed a brief that sketches not even the barest outlines of thelegal theories under which Plattenburg seeks to recover--that is, a

    brief that cites no relevant Texas cases. She has filed a brief devotedalmost entirely to discussing summary judgment with respect toordinary automobile negligence, a non-issue in this case. This briefalso fails to make even one citation to the record where relevant, asrequired by Fifth Circuit Rule 28.2.3. In sum, disposing of this appealhas vexatiously consumed our time and Allstate's money. A sanctionof $500.00, payable to Allstate, will serve as a warning to Jamilah andother counsel to choose wisely what appeals they will bring to thiscourt."

    Taitz citing ofLisa v Fournier Marine Corp., 866 F2d 530 (1st Cir. 1989),

    again which is not binding upon this Court, also clearly addresses Appellant Taitz's

    actions in her Brief and this Motion and does not pertain to the Appellees

    whatsoever.

    15/52

    Appellant Orly Taitz filed the within frivolous Appeal. Appellant Taitz

    failed to address what she claims the Judge did incorrectly, how he misapplied the

    laws; and Appellant Taitz failed to file any legal authority, which is binding upon

    this Court and failed to failed to make even one citation to the record where

    relevant, as required by the F.R.A.P. and this Court's local rules. Further,

    Appellant Taitz in her Appellants Brief raised issues that she filed in the Lower

    Court after her Notice of Appeal, which Appellees were forced to address.

    Appellants filed many false statements and it required the Appellees to file

    Supplemental Appendices with the actual documents to disprove Appellant Taitz's

    lies and false statements. Thus, the above arguments of Appellants support this

    Court Sanctioning Appellant. Appellant Taitz has a habit of accusing her victims

    of what she is actually doing, as demonstrated by her own Motion.

    As stated by the Third Circuit inIn Re: David Leroy Beers, 2010 U.S. App.

    LEXIS 22475 at *2-3, "It has been well settled in the Third Circuit that 28 U.S.C.

    1927 requires a finding of four elements for the imposition of sanctions: "(1)

    multiplied proceedings; (2) unreasonably and vexatiously; (3) thereby increasing

    the cost of the proceedings; (4) with bad faith or with intentional misconduct."

    LaSalle Nat'l Bank v. First Connecticut Holding Group, 287 F.3d 279, 288 (3d Cir.

    2002). See alsoIn re Prudential Ins. Co. Am. Sales Practice Litig. Agent Actions,

    278 F.3d 175, 180 (3d Cir.2002);Hackman v. Valley Fair, 932 F.2d 239, 242 (3d

    Case: 10-3000 Document: 003110354767 Page: 15 Date Filed: 11/20/2010

    Cir. 1991); Williams v. Giant Eagle Markets, Inc., 883 F.2d 1184, 1191 (3rd

    Cir.1989);Baker Industr. Inc. V. Cerberus, Ltd., 764 F.2d 204, 208 (3d Cir. 1985).

    Appellants have not met any of the required elements, nor can they. Appellants

    Motion is frivolous.

    Moreover, Appellant Taitz fails to cite one instance of what Appellees have

    supposedly done to substantiate any type of sanctions pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1927

    in this Court. Appellant has failed to make one reference or citation to Appellees

    Brief that she believes warrants sanctions. Instead, Appellant claims the actions of

    Appellees in the underlying case warrants this Court to sanction them pursuant to

    28 U.S.C. 1927, which is completely improper and again frivolous and of course,

    which this Court is without jurisdiction to entertain.

    As this Court can see from its own Docket, it is Appellant Taitz who has

    filed frivolous, vexatious, and unreasonable multiplicity of frivolous requests and

    motions in bad faith and with intentional misconduct and she has continued pursuit

    of her baseless claims. See LaSalle Nat'l Bank v. First Connecticut Holding Group,

    287 F.3d 279, 288 (3d Cir. 2002). See also In re Prudential Ins. Co. Am. Sales

    Practice Litig. Agent Actions, 278 F.3d 175, 180 (3d Cir.2002);Hackman v. Valley

    Fair, 932 F.2d 239, 242 (3d Cir. 1991); Williams v. Giant Eagle Markets, Inc., 883

    F.2d 1184, 1191 (3rd Cir.1989); Baker Industr. Inc. V. Cerberus, Ltd., 764 F.2d

    204, 208 (3d Cir. 1985).

    For these reasons, Appellants Motion must be Denied and Appellees must be

    Awarded their Attorney Fees and Costs for having to defend against Appellants

    frivolous Motion.

    II. APPELLANTS REQUEST to have APPELLEES BRIEF

    STRICKEN is FRIVOLOUS and WITHOUT MERIT:

    Appellant is requesting this Court to strike Appellants Brief, and gives

    absolutely no argument, legal basis, and/or legal authority to support her request.

    Appellant's requests and Motion are frivolous.

    Appellant requests this Court to Strike the Appellees Brief and cites to

    statutes pertaining to Sanctions in other Circuits cases, which are not binding upon

    this Court.

    Through Appellants Motion she complains that Appellees filed a large

    Appendice. Appellees were forced to file a large Appendice as a result of

    Appellant's false statements, forged and altered documents filed as genuine and

    false accusations regarding what was actually filed and stated in the Lower Court.

    Moreover, some of the Affidavits attached to the Appellees filings in the Lower

    Court contain Appellant Orly Taitz's own writings and publications which she has

    posted on her very own website, which is what gave rise to the underlying case.

    Appellant is an attorney licensed to practice law in this Court. Appellant is

    well aware that Appellees Brief was properly filed and in response to her filings,

    Case: 10-3000 Document: 003110354767 Page: 17 Date Filed: 11/20/2010

  • 8/8/2019 LIBERI v TAITZ (APPEAL - 3rd CIRCUIT) - Appellees Response in Opposition to Motion to Strike and Sanctions

    18/52

    14

    which Appellees were required to do. Appellant is also well aware that she cannot

    Move to Strike Appellees Brief because it points out Appellants false statements,

    false and deceptive practices, frivolous arguments and Appellants filing of forged

    and altered documents as genuine.

    Appellant Taitz makes absolutely no mention that anything in Appellees

    Brief and/or Appendices are an "insufficient defense" or that it is "redundant,

    immaterial, impertinent or scandalous matter" as required by the Federal Rules of

    Civil Procedure, Rule 12f. Appellant Taitz, a licensed attorney, filed this frivolous

    Motion wanting this Court to Strike Appellees Brief because Appellees Brief

    provides proof and evidence to this Court that Appellant Taitz's Brief contains

    falsified statements, falsified stories, false recitations of what is contained in the

    Court's record and contains forged and altered documents in Appellants

    Appendice.

    For the above aforementioned reasons, Appellants Motion must be Denied

    and Appellees must be awarded their Costs and Attorney Fees in defending

    Appellants frivolous Motion.

    For the above aforementioned reasons, Appellants Motion must be Denied

    and Appellees must be Awarded their Costs and Attorney Fees for defending

    website....

    About Me! Me! Me!

    I loved it when a reporter called me The Witch of New Mexico, since I believe in

    reincarnation and my life is so similar to that of Ilse Koch, I am sure I must be herre-incarnation.

    I am the daughter of a factory foreman. I was known as a polite and happy child at

    elementary school. At the age of 15 I entered an accountancy school where I learned

    how to defraud investors. Later, I went to work as a bookkeeping clerk, where I

    learned to embezzle. I became a member of the Nazi Party. Through some friends, I

    met my husband, marrying him two years later.

    I worked as a guard and secretary at a concentration camp, which my fianc

    commanded. We married when he was made commandant.

    Under the influence of my husband, I began torturing the inmates of the camp. I

    would often force prisoners to rape one another in plain sight.

    Drunk on the absolute power rendered by my husband, I reveled in torture and

    obscenity. I am Infamous for my souvenirs; tattoos taken from murdered inmates.

    My reputation for debauchery was well earned.

    I was arrested in New Mexico for embezzlement, and the murder of some inmates in

    an attempt to cover up these crimes. I was imprisoned.

    I was tried for participating in a criminal plan for aiding, abetting and participating

    in the murders of many people. The tribunal found me guilty and sentenced her to

    life imprisonment.

    After two years, I was paroled.

    Since my parole, I have been indulging in perjury, credit card fraud, and frivoulous

    law suits against those I thought might blow the whistle on me and send me back to

    prison. I am having great fun manipulating an attorney into committing perjury and

    other crimes. Hes really going to be shocked when he discovers hes being disbarred

    and going to prison because I worked under his supervision.

    COME NOW Appellants, Lisa Liberi [hereinafter Liberi]; Philip J. Berg,

    Esquire [hereinafter Berg], the Law Offices of Philip J. Berg; Evelyn Adams

    a/k/a Momma E [hereinafter Adams]; Lisa Ostella [hereinafter Ostella]; and

    Go Excel Global by and through their undersigned counsel, Philip J. Berg, Esquire,

    hereby Withdrawal their Appeal or in the Alternative Move to Voluntary Dismiss

    Their Appeal pursuant to the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure 42(b) [F.R.A.P.

    42(b)] on the following grounds:

    Appellants filed their Appeal on August 17, 2009 for the issuance of anImmediate [TRO] Temporary Restraining Order and/or Injunction to

    Prohibit Defendant/Respondent Orly Taitz from further distribution ofAppellants, especially Appellant Liberis Social Security number; date of

    birth; place of birth; mothers maiden name and other private confidentialinformation;

    Appellants did not receive the cost of their Transcript from the lower

    Court until April 16, 2010;

    To date, no action has been taken by the Appellate Court and no briefing

    schedule has issued; however, the lower Court has placed

    Plaintiffs/Appellants case in suspense mode until resolution of theAppeal by the within Court;

    Since the filing of the Appeal for the Temporary Restraining Order

    and/or Injunction, Defendant/Respondent Taitz has continued herdistribution of Plaintiff Liberis Social Security number, date of birth,

    place of birth, mothers maiden name and other private confidential

    identifying information;

    The damages caused by Defendant/Respondent Taitz are beyond repair

    and a Temporary Restraining Order and/or Injunction will not prevent

    the extensive further damages that have occurred since we filed this

    I. STATEMENT OF FACTS:

    This appeal arises from Defendant/Respondents Neil Sankey, Sankey

    Investigations, Inc., The Sankey Firm, Inc. a/k/a The Sankey Firm; Orly Taitz, et

    al; and Defend our Freedoms Foundations, Inc. illegal access to and distribution of

    Plaintiff/Appellants private confidential data including but not limited to Appellant

    Liberis full Social Security number; date of birth; place of birth; mothers maiden

    name and other private confidential information. Defendant/Respondent Orly

    Taitz, et al prior to her distribution and destruction of Appellant Liberi stated she

    was going to take Philip J. Berg, Esquire down and to do so she would destroy his

    paralegal, Lisa Liberi and anyone associated with them, which

    Defendant/Respondent Taitz has admitted in her filings with the lower Court.

    Defendant/Respondent Taitzs threat has been carried out.

    Appellants/Plaintiffs filed for an Emergency TRO [Temporary Restraining

    Order] and/or Injunction to Prohibit any further Distribution of Plaintiff Liberis

    private confidential information. The lower Court denied Plaintiffs/Appellants

    request for emergency relief on two (2) occasions. Appellants filed their

    interlocutory Appeals of the lower Courts orders in attempts to prevent the further

    distribution of private data and to prevent severe damages to the Appellants caused

    by said distribution.

    Case: 09-3403 Document: 003110112231 Page: 6 Date Filed: 04/21/2010Case: 10-3000 Document: 003110354768 Page: 25 Date Filed: 11/20/2010

  • 8/8/2019 LIBERI v TAITZ (APPEAL - 3rd CIRCUIT) - Appellees Response in Opposition to Motion to Strike and Sanctions

    47/52

    It should be noted however, Judge Robreno in the lower Court did order on

    June 25, 2009 that Defendants, including Defendant Taitz, et al who was present in

    Court, were not to publish and/or distribute anyones Social Security number.

    Despite this, Defendant/Respondent Orly Taitz has continued her wide publication

    and distribution of Appellant Liberis Social Security number, date of birth, place

    of birth, mothers maiden name and other private confidential information. As a

    result of Defendant/Respondent Taitzs failure to obey the lower Courts Orders,

    Appellant Lisa Liberi and Lisa Ostella are now the full victims of full identity theft

    and been placed in harms way, which have been reported to the proper law

    enforcement agencies. An injunction or restraining order at this point will not

    prohibit said damages.

    Appellants filed their Interlocutory Appeal on or about August 17, 2009,

    over eight [8] months ago. In December 2009, Judge Robreno in the lower Court

    placed Plaintiff/Appellants case in suspense pending the outcome of the appeal.

    Unfortunately, no action has been taken on the appeal and the damages to the

    Appellants are beyond repair. At this point and juncture, a TRO [Temporary

    Restraining Order] and/or Injunction will not prevent damages from incurring,

    which is the sole purpose of an Emergency TRO [Temporary Restraining Order]

    and/or Injunction. Thus, Appellants request is moot.

    Case: 09-3403 Document: 003110112231 Page: 7 Date Filed: 04/21/2010Case: 10-3000 Document: 003110354768 Page: 26 Date Filed: 11/20/2010

  • 8/8/2019 LIBERI v TAITZ (APPEAL - 3rd CIRCUIT) - Appellees Response in Opposition to Motion to Strike and Sanctions

    48/52

    5

    Since the Plaintiffs/Appellants have incurred such serious damages, it is

    imperative for their case in the lower Court to move forward.

    None of the Defendants/Respondents have entered their appearances in this

    Appeal and therefore, have not incurred any expenses associated with this Appeal.

    Thus, all parties are to bear their own costs and expanses. Nor, has this Court

    issued a briefing schedule in the within Interlocutory Appeal.

    For these reasons, Plaintiffs/Appellants respectfully Move to Withdraw their

    Appeal or in the Alternative Move to Voluntarily Dismiss their Appeal pursuant to

    F.R.A.P. 42(b).

    II. APPELLANTS WITHDRAW OF THEIR APPEAL IS

    APPROPRIATE IN THIS SITUTATION:

    As stated herein, Appellants Withdrawal of their Interlocutory Appeal is

    appropriate, as damages incurred pending the outcome of their appeal are severe

    and a TRO [Temporary Restraining Order] and/or Injunction are moot at this point.

    As this Court is aware, the request for a TRO [Temporary Restraining Order]

    and/or Injunction is to prevent damages from incurring. See Swartzwelder v.

    McNeilly, 297 F.3d 228, 234 (3rd Cir. 2002); Prison Health Servs., Inc. v. Umar,

    Civil Action No. 02-2642, 2002 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 12267 (E.D. Pa. May 8, 2002).

    The standards for a Preliminary Injunction and a TRO are the same. Mertz v.

    Houstoun, 155 F. Supp.2d 415, 425 n.12 (E.D. Pa 2001); Bieros v. Nicola, 857 F.

    Case: 09-3403 Document: 003110112231 Page: 8 Date Filed: 04/21/2010Case: 10-3000 Document: 003110354768 Page: 27 Date Filed: 11/20/2010

  • 8/8/2019 LIBERI v TAITZ (APPEAL - 3rd CIRCUIT) - Appellees Response in Opposition to Motion to Strike and Sanctions

    49/52

    6

    Supp. 445, 446-47 (E.D. Pa. 1994). The irreparable harm requirement is only met

    if a Petitioner demonstrates a significant risk that he or she will experience harm

    that cannot adequately be compensated after the fact by monetary damages. See

    Frank's GMC Truck Center, Inc. v. General Motors Corp., 847 F.2d 100, 102-03

    (3d Cir. 1988).

    Here, the damages have incurred since the filing of their Interlocutory

    Appeal which a TRO [Temporary Restraining Order] and/or Injunction will not

    prevent. Therefore, the Interlocutory Appeal is moot and Withdrawal thereof is

    appropriate.

    III. APPELLANTS VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL OF THEIR

    APPEAL IS WARRANTED IN THIS CASE AND MUST BE

    GRANTED:

    Appellants have moved for Withdrawal of their Appeal or in the Alternative

    Voluntary Dismissal of their Appeal pursuant to Federal Rules of Appellate

    Procedure, Rule 42 (b) [F.R.A.P. 42(b)]. F.R.A.P. 42(b) states:

    F.R.A.P. 42(b) - Dismissal in the Court of Appeals

    The circuit clerk may dismiss a docketed appeal if the parties file a

    signed dismissal agreement specifying how costs are to be paid and

    pay any fees that are due. But no mandate or other process may issue

    without a court order. An appeal may be dismissed on the appellants

    motion on terms agreed to by the parties or fixed by the court.

    Case: 09-3403 Document: 003110112231 Page: 9 Date Filed: 04/21/2010Case: 10-3000 Document: 003110354768 Page: 28 Date Filed: 11/20/2010

  • 8/8/2019 LIBERI v TAITZ (APPEAL - 3rd CIRCUIT) - Appellees Response in Opposition to Motion to Strike and Sanctions

    50/52

    7

    In the case at bar, the Appellees have never entered their appearance and

    therefore have not bore any costs and there are absolutely no terms to agree too.

    Appellants agree to bear their own costs. In addition, no briefs and/or Appendices

    have been prepared, as this Court has not issued a briefing schedule.

    There is not any reason for this Court to deny Appellants Motions to

    Dismiss the Appeal, as the Appellees will not be burdened by the dismissal of this

    appeal. See In re Penn Cent. Transp. Co., 630 F.2d 183, 189-90 (3d Cir. 1980)

    (explaining standard for granting motions for voluntary dismissal); F.R.A.P. 42(b).

    For these reasons, Appellants Withdrawal of their Appeal should be granted

    or in the alternative treated, as a Motion to Dismiss their Appeal must be granted.

    IV. CONCLUSION:

    For the reasons stated herein, Appellants Withdrawal of their Appeal

    should be granted. In the alternative Appellants have sought Dismissal of their

    Appeal pursuant to F.R.A.P. 42(b) which is appropriate and must be granted.
