UNITED
STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CATHRYN CATON, Petitioner vs CASE NO. 10-MC-543 ERIC HOLDER,ET AL., Respondents -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MOTION TO EXPEDITE HEARING COMES NOW Cathryn Caton, Petitioner, proceeding pro-se, hereby invokes her Due Process rights under Haines Vs Kerner, 404 US 519(1970) and files her "Motion to Expedite" in order to preserve the integrity of her witness testimony, which is under direct pressure from the defendant's named in Petitioner's Motion to Appear Before a Grand Jury, and who live in fear of their personal safety. In support thereof, petitioner Caton submits the following, to wit; The bad faith actions of the defendant government officials, threatening the two de- fense witnesses into silence has been, in the Ninth Circuit, deemed serious enough to war- rant intervention by the Court. See United States V Lopez,4 F3d 1455,1463 (9th Cir.1993). The allegations contained in the original complaint, detailing the government defendants' actions of submitting falsified statements concerning these two witnesses, alluding to the assertions that these two witnesses gave sworn statements supporting the government's version of the facts of the case when, in fact, they did not do so, are of sufficient seriousness as to warrant the imposition of immediate action by this Honorable Court. Any further delays will ensure eroded memories, loss of evidence to prove Petitioner's claims, loss of will by the two witnesses to further involve theirselves in the instant case, despite their being the sole eyewitnesses to falsified statements of the government defendants, the sole witnesses in which the events that the government defendants' manipulated for the retaliatory motives and objectives. In sum, an expedited hearing on the orginal complaint is needed to pre- serve the witnesses from further threats to their safety and to provide a setting in which the witnesses feel safe enough to testify to the truth of the matters, which will endanger the careers of the two government defendants and possibly end up in their prosecution. Fur- thermore, the integrity of the judicial system is at stake which affects the entire public spectrum. WHEREFORE premises considered herein, Petitioner Caton respectfully prays that this Honorable Court grant this motion and Order an Expedited hearing as soon as judicially fea- sible. DATED: September 14, 2010 RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED, CATHRYN CATON |
