Hello Officer Scouse,
Hope all is well with you today. I have read the complaint that Markus Bernard Merritt has filed with you. There is no truth in any part of it.
In order that you have a more realistic view of the situation, one of the latest filings with Jefferson County District Court is included. If you need further information please dont hesitate to leave a message for me with Chas Clements @ 364-0403 or just FAX back. As a result of these problems, Im a bit down and out at this moment and have to rely on friends to relay messages. Just a temporary setback, praise God.
The Greenwood Village Police Department has always been very gracious to me as a specialty instructor and I have enjoyed my associations with you folks. I want to clear the air on this fraudulent issue before we get too much older, so I would be pleased to drop by at your convenience to discuss the matter, or if you would like me to call at a specific time, please leave a message and plan for a call the next day.
What Mr. Merritt is complaining about is upfront Litigation in the proper venue and in all manner, legal. What follows is an example of what Mr. Merritt claims is harrassing. If you would like copies of everything that has been sent to Mr. Merritts boss, who Im also suing, please let me know. I dont want to burden you with more legaleze paperwork than you care to deal with, but it is important to me that you understand the truth in this matter.
Thank you for your time, interest and effort in my behalf.
Sincerely,
Steve Douglas, Gartin

Motion to Render Void Chief Judge Nietos Order

v.
Tamara Ann Zehnder, alias TAMARA A. GARTIN (a nom de guerre)
Markus Bernard Merritt, a.k.a. Michael Thomas
Pastor Robert Victor Zehnder & Dolores Jean Zehnder
and as agents for the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod
Karsh & Fulton, P.C. "Legal Team" in the persons of:
Alan E. Karsh
Seymour Joseph
Fred Gabler
Valerie Krogman
Larry Fulton
A. Troy Ciccarelli
J. Terry Wiggins
- I, Steve Douglas, Gartin, the moving party and the Party Injured inform the court that Chief Judge Henry Nieto has made a mistake in judgment.
- Chief Judge Henry Nieto states in the first paragraph of his Order dated August 15th, 1996 "The Court has read and reviewed the Motion, has read and reviewed the documents on file with this Court, and being fully advised in the premises,. . . "
- The Honorable Henry Nieto received my Motion for Summary Judgment in case # 96-CV-1478 on August 15th, 1996 which was filed by FAX direct to Mr. Nietos office and is contained within the Courts record.
- Mr. Nieto either did NOT read my motion, or he ignored it when making his decision to grant this Prevaricator, A. Troy Ciccarelli, Esquire his fraudulent and perjurious motion. Either scenario is unacceptable performance for a man in such an exalted position.
- A. Troy Ciccarelli, Esquire lied to the Court intentionally! He said that I did not return his phone message. His secretary and my witnesses will testify to the contrary.
- I very directly spoke with Mr. Ciccarelli that day, but his agenda was to molest, slander, libel and harass me, and deny me my Rights as a Father. This action is in criminal contempt of the order of the Court and in conspiracy with listed defendants and others unknown at this moment.
- Karsh & Fulton, P.C., a.k.a. "Legal Team" has committed perjurous instruments and documents to the court. This Legal Team has encouraged its clients to commit perjury in direct defiance of all law. This Legal Team has encouraged and suborned its clients to defy the Courts Orders.
- This Legal Team has conspired and colluded with Magistrate Russell Stuska and Judge William DuMoulin to defy and defile every Constitutional Guarantee and Due Process and in conspiracy to deprive me of my Rights and the Rights of my Children.
- My ONLY concern is for my Children. They are now in an environment that encourages deceit, larceny, adultery, drunkenness, arrogance, violence, ignorance of Biblical principles, and all of the evils I do not want my Children exposed to. It is my Right as Father to protect my Children from what I perceive to be an extremely volatile and dangerous situation.
- The Plaintiffs have recently became aware pursuant to F.R.C.P. 26, (e) of the Law; aware of the requirements of a professionals Oath of responsibility, and have become aware of a progress of:
- fraud, F.R.C.P. 9 (b)
- collusion, U.S.C.A. Title 18, section 1621
- extortion U.S.C.A. Title 18, section 1621, 1622
- perjury, U.S.C.A. Title 42, section 1986, 1985, 1983
- in conspiracy. U.S.C.A. Title 18 , section 1985
by the Defendants, Pastor Robert V. Zehnder & Delores Jean Zehnder, and legal counsel; A. Troy Ciccarelli, J. Terry Wiggins, Markus Bernard Merritt, Valerie Krogman, Alan Karsh, Fred Gabler, Larry Fulton, Seymour Joseph, and other parties unknown to the Plaintiffs at this moment in time.
- Now we have become aware of the contempt of Karsh & Fulton, P.C. for the order and direction in order of the Honorable Court as defined in Magistrate Nortons Order of January 19th, 1996 to facilitate equal shared parenting.
- The Honorable Court has had official notice of several fraudulent documents submitted and perjuries made by A. Troy Ciccarelli. These are now within the Courts Record and a matter of prima facie evidence of gross perjury in all of Mr. Ciccarellis dealings with the Court in which Plaintiff is a Party.
- Presently the parties at Karsh & Fulton, P.C.; J. Terry Wiggins, A. Troy Ciccarelli and such others and their clients, Tamara Ann Zehnder (alias Tamara A. Gartin), Robert & Dolores Zehnder and Markus Bernard Merritt, are all in conspiracy, in malicious contempt of the orders of the Court in Cases 95-DR-2718, #96CO3788, #96CO3787, #96CO3786.
- To allow such brazen prevarication and flagrant contempt for all that is righteous and proper and lawful and truthful cannot be rewarded by constant approval. I have observed this Court, in the persons of Magistrate Stuska, Judge DuMoulin, and Chief Judge Henry Nieto operate in conspiracy and collusion with this legal team of Karsh & Fulton, P. C. for over a year now.
- I have observed outright lies and perjuries, in conspiracy, go unpunished and even rewarded.
- I demand to know if this Jefferson County District Court is operating in Conspiracy with Karsh & Fulton P. C. to deprive me and my Children of our God-Given Rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness in direct violation of the Constitution of the state of Colorado and the united States of America.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiffs, and them all, move this Honorable Court to Render Void and of no effect the Order of Chief Judge Henry Nieto of August 15th, 1996 granting Karsh & Fulton, P.C. on the face of perjurous testimony to receive and extra 20 days to reply and to issue an Order of Contempt against each and every of the Defendants Legal Team and further relief as the court deems just and proper in the premises.
Steve Douglas, Gartin, in his True Name and as the Proper Party Injured, avails himself of all the provisions of the laws and statutes of the state of Colorado and of the united States of America, which have been made and provided for relief and restoration of tortious actions by Defendants, and them all, and for cause, and other such statutes, made and provided, in protection of the unalienable rights of the Citizens.
I claim all Rights and Privileges under the Constitutions of the state of Colorado and the united States of America and at no time waive any right or privilege of my free will.
Dated this 21st day of August, 1996.

Verified Motion for Contempt Citation

v.
Tamara Ann Zehnder, alias TAMARA A. GARTIN (a nom de guerre)
Markus Bernard Merritt, a.k.a. Michael Thomas
Pastor Robert Victor Zehnder & Dolores Jean Zehnder
and as agents for the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod

I, Steve Douglas, Gartin, the moving party and the Party Injured inform the court that the restraining orders previously issued by the court in this case have been violated. I ask the court to issue a contempt citations against the defendant and set the matter for hearing. As grounds for this request, I state as follows:
- This court issued the three above enumerated restraining orders on July 2, 1996.
- The restraining orders were all served on the defendant without attached affidavits, with all wrong names, and supported by perjured testimony.
- A certificate of service is not attached.
- The Defendant violated the restraining order by doing the following acts:
Markus Bernard Merritt applied for and was granted a restraining order against Steven Douglas Gartin. There is no such party or person.
- The restraining order was violated on July 22, 1996 at 5:45 - 6:15 PM in the presence of many witnesses at my place of employment, which job has subsequently been lost by Mr. Merritts continued menacing harassment and stalking.
- From the 8th of July until the 22nd of July, Markus Bernard Merritt stalked my employment in a gold Saturn with license GAX7331.
- On the 22nd of July, 1996, Markus Bernard Merritt, falsely presenting as Michael Thomas, deliberately entered at my employment place slightly prior to my expected arrival. He asked about me by name, presented my two children as his own, and included his illegitimate child of a former girl friend and not of his wife of record Teri L. Merritt as the third of three potential students for my particular childrens class. All of these statements were false, misleading, and designed by Mr. Merritt to get me fired from this, the second job that Mr. Merritt and Tamara A. Zehnder, alias TAMARA A. GARTIN, in conspiracy, have attempted and accomplished with exactly the same modus operandi as the Golden Community Center Case.
- Mr. Merritt arrived and departed driving a motor vehicle in defiant contempt
of the deferred sentencing, probation and jail sentence as an habitual offender and another probation of Arapahoe County District Court.
- Markus Bernard Merritt filed false information with Agent Scouse of the Greenwood Police Department reporting of an inordinate fear of me
. I am not responsible for Mr. Merritts pathology. His unfounded fears and paranoia is possibly a Delayed Stress Syndrome engendered by his years as a violent thug for the National Football League.
- Markus Bernard Merritt gave false and misleading information to his titular employer, U S West, to suggest a state of pathological fear engendered by faxes
. He has them increasing their security at great cost for a frivolous fear. In point of fact he seeks to conceal the liability he has exposed them to in full knowledge of his actions. He has never been touched, threatened, molested, stalked or otherwise improperly infringed upon by myself, any other representation is a fiction and fantasy from a mind reckless of the truth and reality. ALL of Mr. Merritts statements are IN FACT outright perjuries!
- The Defendants and them all, Tamara Ann Gartin, Markus Bernard Merritt, Robert & Delores Jean Zehnder and their Legal Team, Karsh & Fulton, P,C, and in appearance by A. Troy Ciccarelli, were ordered by Honorable Judge Charles Hoppin to facilitate my custody of my children without interference from the order of restraint. He further said that the restraining order was mutual to all parties, an accommodation to my simultaneous and prior application for order of restraint of Markus Bernard Merritt for his prior assault, threats, menacing and molestation of myself and my children. He further said that Karsh & Fulton, P.C., by their own application, would provide services of facilitation for each and every specific of the order of the Court. He specifically directed Karsh & Fulton that the Order of Restraint was reluctantly given and only at the promise of compliance with each specific. Each of them and them all have been contemptuous of Judge Hoppins order and its specific directions.
- Judge Hoppins proper concern for the shared custody of the children was in compliance with the jurisdiction of Magistrate Babette Nortons order for shared custody and generous interaction with my children. The Defendants and them each and all of them have acted in direct arrogant contempt and disregard and maliciously and after proper notice of non-compliance with the order of Magistrate Babette Norton.
- The Defendants, Tamara Ann Gartin and Markus Bernard Merritt are in common law marriage.
They have colluded and conspired with their legal team, self identified by Tamara Zehnder as Karsh & Fulton, P.C. to harass, molest and disturb myself, Steve Douglas, Gartin, with frivolous and fraudulent actions before the Court and accomplished by perjury.
- Tamara Ann Gartin and Markus Merritt have conspired together to get me fired from two places of employment by improper actions and by perjury
. This action in aid of their common law marriage, the contemplated probate of the terminally ill Pastor Zehnder and its distribution, their social position before their church, their employment and the liability exposure they have caused for their commercial associations, both the Lutheran Church and U S West, Inc.
- Defendants and them all and each of them has presented to the Court a description in evidence of myself Steve Douglas, Gartin in testimony and by document and by acceptance, the perjury of 8th degree Black Belt, a malicious and fearful fiction and fraud of Markus Bernard Merritt. Markus Bernard Merritt has an irrational fear of me expressed as fantasies. I am not an 8th degree Black Belt. I am not a man of violence of any description. I have no record of violence. I have no presentation nor threat of violence to any person at any time of record.
- This fantasy and perjury of Markus Bernard Merritt is used as a libel and slander and to promote an unwarranted fear of me in order to coherce the elderly Zehnders and Tamara A. Zehnder into his nefarious activities in support of his intent to convert the elderly Zehnders assets into his own in conspiracy with Tamara A. Zehnder, and with foul intent.
- Markus Bernard Merritt has threatened and menaced me in the presence of witnesses
. Markus Bernard Merritt has put his hands on me in an intimidating manner and threatening me in the presence of my children on two occasions. Markus Bernard Merritt is a previously convicted assaulter, under present Restraining Order, a trained Professional Athlete in the National Football League, a convicted Habitual Offender in dangerous and reckless driving situations, a scofflaw in constant and arrogant contempt of deferred sentencing, probation and direct Order of the Court. His filings and applications of record to authority are a fraud and a fiction built of his own record of offenses. He perjures without remorse for his own malicious reasons.
- The Restraining Order and all its applications have been a malicious fiction and a frivolous contempt
of the proper use of the Honorable Courts valuable time. I have never sought the Courts time except to respond to the malicious applications of Defendants, each of them and them all.
- The contempt of the Defendants
, Tamara Ann Gartin, Markus Bernard Merritt, their compliant parent, Robert V. Zehnder & Delores Jean Zehnder, their self described legal team Karsh & Fulton, P.C. and in its persons all, for a restraining order against my proper legal action taken in full view of the Honorable Court and notification by FAX, a proper legal method, pursuant to C.R.S. 125 is contemptuous of the time and notice of the Court and an effort to deceive, conceal, and misdirect the Courts proper attention from their own nefarious activities.
- The person Steve Douglas, Gartin is an indigent man by the very direct and premeditated actions of Markus Bernard Merritt and Tamara Ann Gartin, in conspiracy and in maliciously and with aforethought attacking every employment opportunity presented to me. They continue to attack me in Court for being in Forma Pauperis as if that were a condition of my own choosing, it is IN FACT, the direct result of the knowledgeable acts of Tamara A. Zehnder, alias TAMARA A. GARTIN and Markus Bernard Merritt in conspiracy and collusion and in DIRECT CONTEMPT of the Courts Order that they applied for, and the elderly Zehnders financed.
- The person Steve Douglas, Gartin is homeless and without other than a mailing address in the government U S Postal Service, a legal reception point for documents. The Defendants and them all refuse to comply with that condition in contempt for the law and the direct order of Judge Charles Hoppin to facilitate the custody and shared parenting of the minor children, April Rose Gartin and Elijah Rock Gartin as required by the order of Magistrate Babette Norton.
- The person Steve Douglas, Gartin has no phone service except by charity and philanthropy. The sole message phone available through friends of my family has not been used by Defendants to make appointment to confer on motions submitted to the Court or to contact me to facilitate the Order of the Court of Magistrate Babette Norton and Judge Charles Hoppin on shared parenting, joint custody, facilitated time and transportation. A. Troy Ciccarelli proffered and solicited volunteer accommodation Pro Bono Publico by Karsh & Fulton, PC and in every person on the legal team. Perjuries by Karsh & Fulton, PC in the Courts own record and as compared with their messages and logs are an affront to the Court and the entire legal process and tortious to the Parties Injured, et al.
- The proper service of legal information by FAX is a matter of law
. Karsh & Fulton, PC a service business of legal services provision in the state of Colorado, sought application before the Court for "harassment by FAX" and after refusing my proper notification to them by FAX transmission in contempt of the Court and its time and its knowledge of the Law.
- Karsh & Fulton, P.C. has threatened and intimidated Chas Clements
, my Families friend of many years and a kind provider of desperately needed message services as required by Karsh & Fulton, PC, with vaguely worded threats of contemplated legal action by Karsh & Fulton, PC on its own commercial behalf, not that of its commercial clients, and self defined by J. Terry Wiggins, Esq. as payment for "Billable Hours" and being an agent for Steve Douglas, Gartin. These actions are in contempt of the District Courts orders and those judges, a malfeasance of their proper conduct as Attorneys, a misfeasance of duty to their clients April Rose, Gartin & Elijah Rock,Gartin. These are fraudulent actions before the Court and an improper, immoral, and illegal abuse of the power of Officers of the Court.
- Karsh & Fulton, P.C., a.k.a. "Legal Team" has committed perjurous instruments and documents to the court. This Legal Team has encouraged its clients to commit perjury in direct defiance of all law. This Legal Team has encouraged and suborned its clients to defy the Courts Orders. This Legal Team has conspired and colluded with Magistrate Russell Stuska, Judge William DuMoulin and Judge Olsen to defy and defile every Constitutional Guarantee and Due Process and in conspiracy to deprive me of my Rights and the Rights of my Children.
- These Officers of the Court, with a high knowledge of the Law have effectively kept me from my Children since my illegal arrest based on fraudulent testimony by Mr. Merritt and Ms. Zehnder on June 18, 1996. This is not only unconscionable, it is illegal, immoral, and tortious in every regard.
- My ONLY concern is for my Children. They are now in an environment that encourages deceit, larceny, adultery, drunkenness, arrogance, ignorance of Biblical principles, and all of the evils I do not want my Children exposed to. It is my Right as Father to protect my Children from what I perceive to be an extremely volatile and dangerous situation.
- Tamara Zehnder is well documented to be a "verbal abuser."
This fact is confirmed by Audio Tape Recordings and testimony by first-hand witnesses. Markus Bernard Merritt is a violent and habitual offender with a record of violence and flagrant disregard for law and order. It is just a matter of time before Tamaras abusive language finds Markus in a foul mood. His potentially violent reaction to her abusive verbal attacks could result in serious injury or death to my Children if they are present when Mr. Merritt goes berserk. Mr. Merritts Wife of Record, Teri L. Merritt obtained a Restraining Order against Mr. Merritt because of his violent, aggressive, and abusive actions. It is only a matter of time before the volatile combination of Tamaras verbal abuse and Markus violent persona erupts into mayhem in the Elderly Zehnders domicile. There would be no one capable of protecting my Children in such a situation. I am in extreme and well-founded fear for the safety of my Children in the presence of Mr. Merritt.
For the convenience of the Honorable Court, I have included a brief history of Markus Bernard Merritt, alias "Michael Thomas." The N.C.I.C. record will provide additional information about Mr. Merritts criminal activity in Texas and elsewhere in addition to his criminal history in Colorado.
Markus Bernard Merritt poses a serious threat to the safety of my minor Children.

In determining the best interests of the child, the court shall consider all relevant factors, including:
- The wishes of the child's parents as to his custody;
- The wishes of the child as to his custodian;
- The interaction and interrelationship of the child with his parents, his siblings,
- and any other person who may significantly affect the child's best interests;
- The child's adjustment to his home, school, and community;
- The mental and physical health of all individuals involved;
- The ability of the custodian to encourage the sharing of love, affection, and contact
- between the child and the noncustodial party;
- Credible evidence of the ability of the parties to cooperate and to make decisions jointly; Credible evidence of the ability of the parties to encourage the sharing of love, affection, and contact between the child and the other party; Whether the past pattern of involvement of the parties with the child reflects a system of values, time commitment, and mutual support which would indicate an ability as joint custodians to provide a positive and nourishing relationship with the child;
- The physical proximity of the parties to each other as this relates to the practical considerations of awarding joint custody; Whether an award of joint custody will promote more frequent or continuing contact between the child and each of the parties; Whether one of the parties has been a perpetrator of child abuse or neglect under section 18-6-401, C.R.S., or under the law of any state, which factor shall be supported by credible evidence. If the court makes a finding of fact that one of the parties has been a perpetrator of child abuse or neglect, then it shall not be in the best interests of the child to award joint custody over the objection of the other party or the guardian ad litem of the child.
- Whether one of the parties has been a perpetrator of spouse abuse as defined in subsection (4) of this section, which factor shall be supported by credible evidence. If the court makes a finding of fact that one of the parents has been a perpetrator of spouse abuse, then it shall not be in the best interests of the child to award joint custody over the objection of the other party or the guardian ad litem of the child, unless the court finds that the parties are able to make shared decisions about their children without physical confrontation and in a place and manner which is not a danger to the abused spouse or the child.
- The court shall not consider conduct of a proposed custodian that does not affect his relationship to the child.
- In considering a proposed custodian, the court shall not presume that any person is better able to serve the best interests of the child because of that person's sex.
- If a parent is absent or leaves home because of spouse abuse by the other parent, such absence or leaving shall not be a factor in determining the best interests of the child. For the purpose of this subsection (4), "spouse abuse" means the proven threat of or infliction of physical pain or injury by a spouse on the other parent.

- R.C.P. IX. SPECIAL PROCEEDINGS Rule 73. Magistrate Judges;
Trial by Consent and Appeal Options
(a) Powers; Procedure.
When specially designated to exercise such jurisdiction by local rule or order of the district court and when all parties consent thereto, a magistrate judge may exercise the authority provided by Title 28, U.S.C. § 636(c) and may conduct any or all proceedings, including a jury or nonjury trial, in a civil case. A record of the proceedings shall be made in accordance with the requirements of Title 28, U.S.C. § 636(c)(7).
(b) Consent.
When a magistrate judge has been designated to exercise civil trial jurisdiction, the clerk shall give written notice to the parties of their opportunity to consent to the exercise by a magistrate judge of civil jurisdiction over the case, as authorized by Title 28, U.S.C. § 636(c). If, within the period specified by local rule, the parties agree to a magistrate judge's exercise of such authority, they shall execute and file a joint form of consent or separate forms of consent setting forth such election.
A district judge, magistrate judge, or other court official may again advise the parties of the availability of the magistrate judge, but, in so doing, shall also advise the parties that they are free to withhold consent without adverse substantive consequences. A district judge or magistrate judge shall not be informed of a party's response to the clerk's notification, unless all parties have consented to the referral of the matter to a magistrate judge.
The district judge, for good cause shown on the judge's own initiative, or under extraordinary circumstances shown by a party, may vacate a reference of a civil matter to a magistrate judge under this subdivision.
