Steven Jentzen and Livingston County Michigan Courts

Mr. Steven Jentzen sent in the mail a notice for a Motion To Withdraw he put into Court on April 3, 2009 ( I think the date is Mr. Skousens birthday). The hearing is scheduled for April 23, 2009 before Judge Carol Hackett Garagiola.

Mr. Steven Jentzen sent his e-mail on March 9,2009 notifying he withdrew on March 7, 2009 from the case. I was forced into the March 20, 2009 FOC hearing without an attorney, because Mr. Jentzen had not ‘officially withdrawn’

The withdrawal sent to me by Mr. Steven Jentzen read as follows: The withdrawal Mr. Steven Jentzen wrote up himself:

I could not sign Mr. Steven Jentzen withdrawal, with his ‘further ordered’ put into his withdrawal -- I felt set up.
What Constitutional rights does Mr. Steven Jentzen believe in? Here four days lady to find and attorney, note a weekend is put into his “It is further Ordered”.

By March 19, 2009 I wrote to him stating

Dear Mr. Jentzen,

You are no longer my attorney and withdrew as of March 9, 2009. Your have not discussed my case with me, since my initial contact with you, you did not show up to a scheduled hearing in October 2008, or notify me of the hearing, and withdrew as of March 9, 2009 and you will not be paid. I cannot trust you to represent the interest of myself or family.

Sincerely,

Deborah
-----------------------
Another Withdrawal of Attorney form was returned to Mr. Steven Jentzen by me for Mr. Jentzen to sign, leaving off his "It is further order"; guess, he could not sign that one.

Mr. Steven Jentzen must not have understood he was 'fired' as of March 19, 2009.

on April 8. 2009 a second letter went out to Mr. Steven Jentzen which reads as follows:

Dear Mr Jentzen,

Your services have been terminated. You notified me on March 9, 2009 you were withdrawing from the case. As of the end of March your services were terminated. Your failed to sign the withdrawal form I sent to you, leaving out the stipulation I find an attorney within a few days time period for the FOC hearing, or go Pro Per......

Your failure to properly represent, failure to notify of the October hearing, a lack of attorney representation you are discharged. You have shown on conscience regarding your conduct.

Hearing Before David Reader and a walk down the Hall with Neal Nielsen

Yesterday, April 2, 2009, there was a hearing before David Reader on a disqualification of Judge Carol Hackett Garagiola.

I have an appeals in the State of Michigan Appeals Court on an earlier decision of Judge Readers. The Appeals was entered into Livingston County court well over a week ago. Judge Reader was proceeding with the hearing, when I mentioned there was an appeals in. Reader stated it was not in the file, and I mentioned again, I had an appeals in.

I gave Judge Reader a copy of the Appeals.

Strange court file, not having the information in the file, especially since a copy was entered into Livingston County Court record. Wonder where it went?

I mentioned to the Judge I had given Livingston County Courts two copies of the appeals, paid a $25.00, and received a receipt, the receipt was at home.

Glad I had a copy of the appeals with me.

On my way into court for the 8:30 a.m. hearing, Neal Nielsen entered the court and cleared security before I entered. Nielson went into the clerks office; I noted on my way in, he was looking out the door of the clerks office. By the time I cleared security, picked up my purse, and started down the hallway, Nielson was at my side. He had taken a few quick steps to catch up, and proceeded to stay right next to me down the hallway.

Most people don't intrude on others personal space, when there is no intention of an conversation; they stay slightly behind, or pace themselves ahead

On about me: it tells of a day in the FOC, when: being in front of FOC referee Gerald Eidt, who clearly stated he does not read items in a case he is presiding over – this may be why Mr. Eidt named a former attorney, of Mr. Skousen’s, Neal Nielsen as receiver of our home; Mr. Skousen giggled as he lowered his head. After my objection, he proceeded to name other attorneys associated with Mr. Skousen.

"On November 14, 2001, the Commission filed an application for an order to enforce investigative subpoenas served on Neal D. Nielsen and Scott Nielsen, his son. The subpoenas sought documents and testimony from both individuals relating to false and misleading messages about publicly traded companies posted on Internet investor websites. Neal D. Nielsen and Scott Nielsen have not complied with the subpoenas issued by the Commission. A hearing on the Commission's application has not yet been scheduled."

There are many concerns on the conduct which has gone on for years in our courts and legal system.

Motion to Stay to be Heard/strange e-mail

The Motion to Stay hearing, was moved from last Thursday (March 26, 2009) to tomorrow (March 31, 2009),before Judge Carol Hackett Garagiola

I was forced into a hearing on March 20, 2009, without and attorney, Mr. Jentzen had withdrawn on March 7,2009. The hearing was intimidating;- I had put in a Motion of Stay prior to the hearing, since my attorney had withdrew – but the motion submitted into court had been ignored.

The Motion of Stay had been submitted in court the week prior to the March 20, 2009 hearing, and scheduled to be heard on March 26,2009. There had been no response from Mr. Skousen objecting to the motion into court, and only smugness during the March 20, 2009 hearing.

Last Thursday, when the Motion was to be heard, Mr. Skousen had not responded.

As posted in an earlier blog, the Judge and FOC, had meet the night before the Friday, March 20, 2009 hearing and stated the hearing was to proceeded before the FOC; even with the Motion of Stay scheduled to be heard.

The strangest e-mail came through the e-mail today. I had to cut and paste it was from Mr. Skousen (March 30, 2009). Below is the e-mail.

I am in Korea and heard from my wife (Janice Eudis Nielsen Skousen) about a hearing scheduled for 4PM on the 31st of March requesting a 120 day stay. Because I am in Korea I have been unable to respond on this matter. Can you forward this response to Judge Garagiola just so the court understands my postion. I understand that since I will not be there and can not afford an attorney at this time that the matter may be defaulted to the plaintiff's request.

I will send a copy with my scanned signature later today (during your night).

I appreciate the help.

Mr. Skousen, the hearing was originally scheduled for last Thursday, March 26, 2009. You had not even responded to the Motion of Stay on March 20, 2009, which you had already recieved served prior to March 20, 2009. I was forced into a hearing with you-- without and attorney, or my file! And you weep tears you are out of the country now, you are in Korea and you can not respond. What were you doing when you were in Michigan those several weeks?

Something is strange about the whole thing, there was no rushed e-mail last Thursday when the Motion of Stay was initially scheduled to be heard, but was cancelled because the Judge was ill. There was nothing put into court since you were first notified and served,weeks prior about the Motion of Stay. The Stay was filed in court weeks ago, while you were in the States.

Something strange is going on, and has been -

I hired an Alliance Defense Fund Attorney/Web Search and Bank Account

Updated ---

Mr. Steven Jentzen to date has not put in his withdrawal in court, after notifying me on the 9th of March, he was withdrawing from the case; at least it did not appear on the Register of Actions when I checked yesterday. The Motion of Stay was not heard, after waiting for awhile at court, I was told the Judge was ill and had cancelled court hearings for the day, the motion was re-scheduled for next Tuesday.

The web search has been interesting to watch. Below (the Northville Ward info) has disappeared from a google search which Is this a Christan Thing to Do had been listed under, but appears in a Yahoo search; however, "Is This a Christian Thing to Do" does not appear in a Yahoo in a search. -- (*it is now back up under google search and Janice's facebook is now showing; one will not see our youngest son on her facebook; he has his own story to tell of the abuse in the Skousen Family, and how people are forced to submit, or their life destroyed.).

I sat across from Janice Eudis Nielsen Skousen in a meeting a few weeks ago, and asked her why they were running a bank account in my name which was being sent to her address on Bramley Court, New Hudson, Michigan. I have never lived on Bramley Court and never in New Hudson, Michigan. I had been unaware they had a bank account in my name going to their house. Bank deposits, a U.S. Treasury income tax return of over $14,000.00, many deposits over $8,000.00, others of $14,000.00 and various amounts; many deposited within weeks, sometimes days, of each other. I had found out about the account by accident. Janice Skousen, fluttered and twittered and said she was Samuel Skousen's wife, and it was her husbands business, then smiled coyly and stated the account was now in her name along with her husband. Then why did they keep a bank account with my name on it?
Strange, most strange.

The account in my name had been going to her home for over four-five years, I never knew my name was listed on a Bank account going to their home -- Mr. Skousen and I had not been married for ten years! I gave no permission.

Half truths told. Mr. Skousen had lied about me for years, supported by his family. He told misleading and false stories like, how he was 'forced' to sleep in the basement, failing to say he had taken his son's place. Our son had felt he was too old to share a bedroom with his youngest brother, and put his bed in the basement - he wanted a room of his own, like our eldest daughter had upstairs in our home. His sister, did not have to share with her younger sisters, had a phone of her own, and Dad bought her a new (about 1 and 1/2 year old) car, which we made payments on; her phone bills to her friends and boyfriend ran several hundreds of dollars a month to close to a thousand dollars in a month time - even rude comments were not unusual and made; when a boy, she met at a mormon college and became engaged to, came to stayed at our home one summer. I was told "if I wanted help cleaning the home, to hire a maid". I had asked for help carrying groceries in the home, when I was running late for work. I was raised everyone helped with cleaning the home and chores, not only Mom.

Our son, had to buy a old car off his dad, one given to his father. The basement was unfinished, and cold. Our son came down sick, Mr. Skousen would turn the down the heat very low at night; it would freeze in the basement. As much as my son and I tried to beg Mr. Skousen to turn up the heat at night, he refused. I also asked Mr. Skousen, if he would build a room for our son downstairs, but he was too busy.

My son had become very ill, and we discussed why his father could not understand, and suggested his father take his place, to experience what he was allowing his own son to go through. . I suggested to Mr. Skousen to sleep a night or two downstairs to see what his son was experiencing. My husband defamed me before our divorce and after, he told he forced into the basement by me, never telling the whole story -- when all he did was to take his own son's place - a son he was allowing to become ill.

I know my girls took a fall, and were used as front people, becoming the "fall guys", and were put up to do some very cruel things; one day Samuel Skousen will need to step forward and be honest - as well as the Skousen Family- there are no halo's in the Skousen family. Janice Eudis Nielsen Skousen has her own motives.

[* * Joel Skousen, on Janice Skousen’s facebook, -- is not one of our sons, he more than likely is the youngest son of Mr. Skousen's brother, Jay Payne Skousen and his wife Jan Skousen. (yes, there are two Jan's in the Skousen family) Mr. Skousen eldest son, changed his last name, and no longer carries the Skousen name; we cannot blame him for that, our youngest son plans to change his last name also]

I rarely ever knew the Skousen family to be honest, in my experience with them.

Is this the Christian Thing to Do?

Honesty, must not be the basis of a Christ like life for many.
