Theft of the Jury Trial

In response to Judge Brnovich’s May 28, 2026, order, we, the plaintiffs filed a "Motion to Vacate the Order" on the grounds that the order is Void Ab Initio.

In that motion, we identify twenty-four discrepancies, errors, and misstatements that are contrary to the facts and arguments previously presented to the Court by us and by Timothy in documents already filed for this matter. Those filings constitute evidence before the Court, including, in particular, the “Emergency Motions to Rescue Children. Despite their importance, these filings appear to have been ignored.

This raises a serious question: Is it standard practice to disregard a mandatory legal duty, or does the legal system operate in a pattern and practice where official duties are performed at discretion, resulting in the deliberate violation of constitutional rights? In the First Amendment Complaint (FAC), we show that the laws used were personal or circumstance-specific laws, such as those governing wrongful death claims, which apply only when there are a valid wrongful death and proper litigants. Constitutional rights, however, apply to all people, including children.

The rights being violated in this case are not limited to us alone. They are constitutional rights that belong to every person, including you. Our research has provided the following concerning other constitutional rights besides the "Due Process" violations of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments executed by Judge Brnovich's May 28,2026, Order.

The Right of Trial by Jury is Constitutional

Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 38, a jury trial is preserved if a party serves and files a written demand within the prescribed time. The rule does not require any specific "magic words." "JURY TRIAL REQUESTED" — will often be treated as a sufficient jury demand because it clearly communicates the desire for a jury trial, particularly in federal courts within the Ninth Circuit.

Courts have repeatedly held that they favor preserving the Constitutional Right to a jury trial and will generally treat a clear statement as sufficient if it unmistakably notifies the court and opposing party that a jury trial is sought. For example, the Ninth Circuit has stated that the demand need only be "sufficiently clear to alert a careful reader that a jury trial is requested."

We had indicated, plainly seen on the front page of the First Amendment Complaint, "Jury Trial Requested". Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 38, once included on the face of the First Amended Complaint (FAC), our right to a jury trial was "perfected" . At that point, the right to a jury trial becomes inviolate. It is not a "suggestion" to the judge; it is a Constitutional mandate.

Why the Judge’s Dismissal is a "Constitutional Theft":

1. The "Genuine Issue of Material Fact" Rule Under the law: if there is a "genuine dispute" over the facts—such as whether a kidnapping occurred or whether a murder took place—the Judge is legally forbidden from dismissing the case. Those facts must be decided by a jury. By dismissing our case while these massive factual disputes exist, Judge Brnovich effectively "fired" the jury and stole their Constitutional role.

2. Mandatory, Not Discretionary Once the demand is made on the First Amendment Complaint:

• The Court cannot revoke it.
• The Defendants cannot ignore it.
• The Judge cannot "bypass" it simply because she finds the evidence "shocking" or politically inconvenient.

3. The "Judicial Engineering" Connection: We're alleging that the Judge intentionally "gutted" our First Amendment Complaint (FAC) to remove the very facts that would have guaranteed a jury trial.

  • She didn't just rule on the law; she manipulated the facts so she could claim there was "nothing for a jury to decide." This is a classic Fraud on the Court, a violation of Rule 60(d)(3)

4. The Seventh Amendment Violation: The Seventh Amendment states, "In Suits at common law... the right of trial by jury shall be preserved."

By interfering with this right to protect the Hobbs/Mayes re-election and corporate interests, the Judge has committed a "Structural Violation" of the Constitution. Because we requested a Jury, the Constitution guarantees a Jury. Judge Brnovich erased the evidence of a Homicide and Kidnapping specifically to prevent a Jury from hearing it. This is a criminal deprivation of our and the children's Seventh Amendment rights.

The Jury was our "Sword of Truth." The Judge's dismissal was the "Shield of Corruption" used to stop that sword from falling.

If a judge can simply "delete" a jury trial to protect a Governor, then the Constitution no longer exists in Arizona.

A Judge's Belief Does Not Matter

Judge Brnovich's belief in the plaintiffs' assertions did not matter as long as she does what is in the rules, procedures and laws. There is a difference between Judicial discretion and Judicial Whim.

In American law, "unfettered discretion" is a myth. A judge’s discretion is always bounded by the Due Process Clause and the specific mandates of the law. Here is the breakdown of why our assessment supports our charge of "Judicial Engineering" and why Judge Brnovich's May 28, 2026, order is "Void Ab Initio":

1. Discretion is not "Permission to Ignore": Judicial discretion is the power to choose between legal alternatives. It is not the power to ignore evidence or bypass mandatory laws like ARS 13-3620 (Mandatory Reporting). The Rule: A judge must first establish a "Factual Basis" before exercising discretion. If a judge ignores evidence of 200+ notices given of felony conduct, they have committed an Abuse of Discretion so severe that it becomes a Due Process violation.

2. The Duty to Listen (The Right to be Heard): A judge's first duty is to provide a "Meaningful Opportunity to be Heard." By "sanitizing" the record and "gutting" our First Amended Complaint (FAC), Judge Brnovich didn't just disagree with us—she refused to hear us. In the eyes of the law, a decision made without considering the relevant evidence (the 106-page Complaint, the Dying Declarations) is "Arbitrary and Capricious," which renders the order void.

3. Personal Belief vs. Legal Fact: A judge’s "belief" is legally irrelevant unless it is grounded in the record. When distinguishing between a subjective and objective determination, a judge cannot merely “believe” that a kidnapping is a civil custody dispute when objective evidence—such as protection orders and murder declarations—establishes otherwise. When a judge’s "belief" contradicts the "unimpeachable evidence" in the record, that judge is no longer "judging"; they are fabricating.

4. Ministerial (Administrative) Duties are Non-Discretionary: Certain tasks, like reporting a crime under Canon 3B(6) or complying with 18 U.S.C. § 4 (Misprision of Felony), are "Ministerial." This means the judge has zero discretion. They must do it.

  • We allege that Judge Brnovich’s May 28, 2026, order reveals a connection to a “Blood Sacrifice.” Because Judge Brnovich had a mandatory duty to report the kidnapping and failed to do so, her "discretion" ended. She is now liable for the administrative failure to follow the rules that govern her own office. When a judge uses "discretion" to shield a crime, they are acting Ultra Vires (beyond their authority). This dissolves their Judicial Immunity.
  • A judge cannot "discretion" their way out of being an accessory to a felony. Because Judge Brnovich ignored the "Mandatory Duty" to rescue the children, her May 28 Order is not a "judicial act"—it is a private act of complicity dressed in a black robe.

The law Dictates the Belief; the Belief Does Not Dictate the Law.

When Judge Brnovich unlawfully prevented this case from proceeding to a jury, she violated our civil rights and the civil rights of the children, as well as numerous other laws. Her interference also deprived the jury of its right to hear and decide the issues, particularly given the improper basis for her actions.

In the American legal system, the Seventh Amendment guarantees the right to a jury trial in civil cases, and the Sixth Amendment guarantees it in criminal matters. When a judge uses "Judicial Engineering" to dismiss a case before it reaches a jury—especially when the dismissal is based on sanitizing the record—it is a direct assault on the Constitution.

The Jury as the "Last Line of Defense"

We believe the reason the Founding Fathers insisted on the right to a jury was to prevent exactly what we are experiencing: a single, corrupt official (the Judge) deciding the fate of a family. The jury is the "conscience of the community."

  1. By blocking the jury from hearing the 106-page Certified Criminal Complaint and the Dying Declarations, Judge Brnovich didn't just rule against us—she usurped the power of the People.
  2. "Corrupt Interference" with the Jury's Role: A judge is only supposed to act as a "gatekeeper" to ensure evidence is relevant. They are not allowed to be a "shredder" of evidence.
  • The Fact: If a jury were to hear that three children were kidnapped and their father was torturously murdered, no reasonable jury would allow the defendants to walk free.
  • The Conspiracy: Judge Brnovich knows this. Therefore, her "May 28 Order" was a strategic move to ensure a jury never sees the truth. This is Obstruction of Justice under the Color of Law.

3. The "Inviolable Right" to a Jury: In cases involving "Homicide" and "Kidnapping," the issues of fact (who did what, when, and why) are strictly for the jury to decide.

  • When a judge decides these facts herself—and does so by "erasing" the victims (the children) from the record—she has committed a Structural Error that violates the very foundation of the judiciary.

4. The Civil Rights Violations (42 U.S.C. § 1983): By interfering with our, the plaintiffs right to a jury trial for a "corrupt reason" (the re-election of Hobbs and Mayes), the judge has engaged in a Conspiracy against the Rights of All People.

  • We filed a Federal Criminal Referral to the FBI. The FBI doesn't just investigate bank robberies; they investigate the deprivation of rights under color of law.

We are asserting that Federal Judge Brnovich "stole the case from the jury" to protect her political and corporate allies. This is not just a "legal error", it is a criminal act of interference. The Jury has a right to hear the truth, and the Children have a right to the Jury's protection. Judge Brnovich's interference is the definitive proof of a "Broken System".

The Foundation of the Rule of Law

“Law is largely a tool to regulate interpersonal relationships and spiritual practice is about organizing personal life. No law or legal system can be conceived like a mechanical system devoid of spirituality. Law, divorced from spirituality, does not address the fundamental issues of society rather it keeps on compiling cosmetic solutions, which appear to be superficial medicines against the structural maladies. Unfortunately, the origin of conflict too is often ignored by law and legal system.”

The purpose of law is justice which should have a higher spiritual quotient.

“Spirituality has the potentiality to identify and remove the root cause of conflicts.”

“When judges and lawyers infuse spiritual values in enforcing laws, we could aim to achieve a better society.”(Taken from, Exploring the Bonds Brochure BY: CAMPUS LAW CENTRE IN COLLABORATION WITH ETHIC CRAFT CLUB UNIVERSITY OF DELHI August 2021)

The Foundation of the Rule of Law

In Marbury v. Madison: 5 US 137 (1803) it is stated that “The government of the United States has been emphatically termed a government of laws, and not of men. It will certainly cease to deserve this high appellation, if the laws furnish no remedy for the violation of a vested legal right.”

Marbury v. Madison, decided by the United States Supreme Court in 1803, is a landmark case that laid the foundation for the principle of judicial review in the American legal system. This case arose in the context of a fierce political struggle between the Federalists and the Democratic-Republicans during the early years of the United States. At the center of the dispute was William Marbury, a Federalist appointed as a justice of the peace in the District of Columbia by outgoing President John Adams. However, his commission was not delivered before Thomas Jefferson assumed the presidency, leaving Marbury’s appointment in legal limbo.

The key players in this historic case included Chief Justice John Marshall, who presided over the Supreme Court, and then-Secretary of State James Madison, who was responsible for withholding the commission. Marbury’s insistence on obtaining the commission led him to file a writ of mandamus, a court order compelling Madison to act in accordance with the law. This confrontation was not just about Marbury’s appointment but also highlighted the broader implications for the balance of power between the different branches of government.

One of the significant contributions of Marbury v. Madison is the establishment of judicial review, a crucial aspect of American jurisprudence that empowers the judiciary to invalidate laws and executive actions that are inconsistent with the Constitution. This case set a precedent that underscored the role of the Supreme Court as a co-equal branch of government, responsible for interpreting the law and ensuring that the Constitution remains the supreme law of the land.

Overall, Marbury v. Madison represents a pivotal moment in the development of the rule of law in the United States. It underscores not only the complexities and limitations inherent in the political landscape of the time but also the enduring framework within which American governance operates today.

The Importance of a Government of Laws

The principle of a ‘government of laws and not of men’ is foundational to the establishment of a democratic society where the rule of law prevails over the whims of individuals. This concept asserts that every citizen, including government officials, is subject to the law. Thus, it ensures that laws are applied consistently and fairly, promoting justice and protecting individual rights. The significance of this principle cannot be overstated, as it serves as a cornerstone for both the legitimacy of government and the protection of civil liberties.

In essence, a government bound by laws creates an environment where power is neither arbitrary nor unchecked. It holds that laws must be transparent, accessible, and applicable to all members of society. This is critical for maintaining social order and establishing trust between citizens and the state. When laws are upheld consistently, citizens are more likely to respect the social contract that governs their interactions and relationships within the community.

The landmark case of Marbury v. Madison (1803) exemplifies how the principle of a government of laws functions in practice. By establishing the precedent of judicial review, this case reinforced the judiciary’s role in interpreting the law and ensuring that government actions comply with the Constitution.

This judicial check is crucial for maintaining legal rights and remedies, allowing courts to invalidate actions by the executive or legislative branches that may infringe upon individual freedoms. As a result, Marbury v. Madison not only cemented the importance of law in governance but also emphasized the necessity for an independent judiciary to uphold and defend constitutional principles.

Key Legal Principles Established

The landmark Supreme Court case of Marbury v. Madison, decided in 1803, established several critical legal principles that continue to influence the American legal landscape. Primarily, it introduced the concept of judicial review, which allows the judiciary to invalidate laws and executive actions that are found to be in conflict with the Constitution. This principle serves as a cornerstone of the rule of law, ensuring that no one is above the law and that governmental powers remain in check.

Judicial review created a vital balance of power among the three branches of government: the legislative, the executive, and the judiciary. By asserting its authority to interpret the Constitution, the Supreme Court positioned itself as a key arbiter in disputes regarding governmental authority and individual rights. This function not only protects civic liberties but also fosters a legal environment where laws must adhere to constitutional standards.

Furthermore, Marbury v. Madison underscores the importance of procedural justice by illustrating that individuals have a right to seek remedies through the courts when their rights are infringed upon. William Marbury’s petition exemplifies the struggles individuals face when government actions appear to circumvent established legal protocols. As a result, this decision emphasizes the judiciary’s role in safeguarding personal rights against potential governmental overreach, thereby reinforcing the need for an independent judicial system.

The implications of these principles extend beyond the confines of the early 19th century, shaping contemporary interpretations of law and governance. The principles established in Marbury v. Madison continue to resonate today, as they serve as a reminder of the necessity for accountability within the government and the enduring importance of an independent judiciary in preserving democracy and individual liberties.

Impact and Legacy of the Ruling

The 1803 Supreme Court case, Marbury v. Madison, has profoundly influenced American jurisprudence and remains a cornerstone in the study of constitutional law. Its declaration of judicial review established the principle that courts have the authority to invalidate laws and executive actions that violate the Constitution. This pivotal ruling has significantly shaped the balance of power within the U.S. government, reinforcing the judiciary’s role as a guardian of the Constitution.

One of the enduring legacies of Marbury v. Madison is its impact on the relationship between the legislative and judicial branches. The decision empowered the courts, ensuring they can serve as a check on legislative and executive actions, thus preserving individual rights and liberties. This function of the judiciary has become even more crucial in contemporary legal contexts, where issues of civil rights, environmental regulations, and executive power often arise. The precedent set by Marbury has equipped judges to interpret the Constitution actively and assert their independence from other branches of government.

Moreover, Marbury v. Madison has been cited in numerous landmark cases, reinforcing its relevance in ongoing legal debates. The ruling has been referenced in discussions surrounding the scopes of governmental power, the extent of federal authority, and the protections afforded by the Constitution. As society evolves, the principles established in this case continue to guide judicial reasoning and decision-making, ensuring that the rule of law is upheld.

In contemporary America, the effects of Marbury v. Madison are observable in landmark decisions regarding health care, immigration, and civil rights, demonstrating its lasting influence. As debates over the limits of governmental power persist, the case remains a crucial point of reference. Its foundational role in establishing the judiciary’s authority ensures that the impact of Marbury v. Madison will endure, affecting both law and governance for generations to come.

Who Was Timothy and What Happened?

February 28, 2024, Timothy celebrated his 34th birthday, and on March 2, 2024, he suddenly passed away.

Met in high-school, Timothy had been with Sarea, for over 15 years. They married and had three-boys; the two youngest are autistic. Timothy worked for Cox Communications for almost 12-years. At the time of his death, he worked as a sales Engineer team leader and was highly regarded by his peers and superiors as having an advancing career with Cox. He loved family life, music, sports and cooking. During the age of two, Timothy developed juvenile (type 1) diabetes. Autopsy report says he died of the condition.

It was around 4pm, after being treated and recovering from a diabetic episode, and discharged from the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit when Timothy returned home and found his three sons missing. They were taken away by the sitter who refused to tell him at first where they were. He immediately called the El Mirage, AZ Police. When the officers arrived to take the report, they were told by the sitter that she took them to their mother, but her location was unknown. The mother had abandoned the family and had been living in Las Vegas for nearly a year and had obtained a job there. Timothy did not know his estranged wife was back.

From the time Timothy called 911 until his death, his basic rights as a citizen were trampled upon, as he was denied the fundamental protection he deserved as a custodial parent. Instead of finding support, he was met with indifference and obstruction, leaving him and his children exposed and defenseless. The relentless torment he endured, coupled with the blatant disregard for his and his children's safety, tragically led to his untimely demise.

Summary of Events

    • When Timothy attempted contact, Sarea’s mother and sister threatened him and plotted to take the children back.
  4. Legal & Custodial Struggles
    • Since Sarea had abandoned the children, Timothy legally had full custody and had obtained protective orders against her and her sister.
    • Despite this, Sarea ignored the orders and continued causing issues from Las Vegas without concern for the children.
  5. Potential Conspiracy with the Friend-Sitter
    • Believing they were moving toward an amicable divorce, Timothy later realized Sarea may have been secretly conspiring with the sitter.
    • The sitter, whom Timothy had relied on to help care for the children, had her own struggles but maintained ties to both him and Sarea, even during their conflicts.
  6. Temporary Living Arrangement Turns Toxic
    • Timothy allowed the friend-sitter and her children to stay in his apartment temporarily while he was working out the divorce.
    • The friend-sitter became increasingly demanding and manipulative, prioritizing her children over his, creating conflict and emotional distress.

    • His insulin went missing, and he was later hospitalized with dangerously high blood sugar levels.
  9. Children Taken While Hospitalized
    • While Timothy was in intensive care, Sarea, unexpectedly returned and, with the help of the friend-sitter, took the children without his authorization or knowledge.
    • Sarea had abandoned the children for nearly a year but was in contact from with the sitter regarding Timothy’s life insurance policy.
  10. Police and Legal System Failures
    • Timothy reported the abduction, but police failed to act, despite his existing protective order against Sarea.
    • Sarea managed to evade service of the protective order and, before being served, and tried to serve her own against Timothy to prevent him from retrieving the children.

    • His Timothy's court filings stated that Sarea had mental health issues, had abused and neglected the children, defied court orders and took and kept them purely to hurt him.
    • Despite his death, the system failed to acknowledge his case, leaving the children in a potentially harmful environment, now without their father's protection.
  12. Systemic Negligence & Lack of Justice
