STATEMENT OF THE CASE

Respondent Edwin Rivera has been a self-employed accountant since 1967. Since its

establishment in 1980, THE HOMEWARD BOUND PROGRAM, FOR CHILDREN, INC.

has helped people with special needs. We continued helping those who needed more from

our systems after retirement. Our institutions need to prepare to do more for people in

need.

Roberto Lebron, Junior (Junior) first met the Respondent in 2000 after an

accounting audit of the Puerto Rican Bar Association (PRBA). Lebron, Senior, was the

President of PRBA, and Junior was not with the New York State Attorney General's

Office.

Attorney Nicholas Velez was the Treasurer of PRBA. After the fraud committed by

Senior was discovered, Velez resigned. He called Junior to pick up the books and records of

PRBA that same day (in J u n e 2000), as well as the report of the scam. Junior was

distraught and belligerent with the Respondent.

Years later, on June 28, 2004, Junior filed a Request for Judicial Intervention

against Edwin Rivera-notice of petition (return date: 7/24/04). The relief sought was as

follows: Injunctive relief, penalties, court costs, and restitution. The other matters listed in

the petition were as follows: Executive Law Section 63(12). The Plaintiff's attorney was

Roberto Lebron, AAG, and the Defendant's attorney was John Montes, Esq. The

document was signed by Roberto Lebron.

CAUSE OF ACTION, ILLEGAL ARRESTS

February 16, 2017. Lawful basis for granting the relief requested in the

Valley of Hinnom. Illegal arrest. The Petitioner, [to avenge] after the Respondent

discovered the scam committed by his father, Roberto Lebron, made false allegations and

filed a complaint with the Court. they did not need a Court Order; they sent the Police

from Rikers to arrest this Respondent. See Exhibit-P

February 9, 2007. Lawful basis for e;rantine; the relief requested in the

Valley of Hinnom. Illegal arrest. The Petitioner, [to avenge] after the Respondent

discovered the scam committed by his father, Roberto Lebron, made false allegations and

filed a complaint with the Court. At this time, the Respondent was in the Dominican

Republic. A warrant for arrest was issued each time in both New York and the Dominican

Republic. Each warrant is for incarceration for {30) days in the worst conditions. See

Exhibit-I.

On February 9, 2007, I was at the Scotia Bank in the Dominican Republic to close

my checking account. As I exited the bank, about ten police officers came to arrest me with

a copy of the complaint filed in the Bronx. I was taken to my hotel in handcuffs so I could

find my passport and give it to them. I was paraded through the lobby in handcuffs; they

told the front desk that I was a criminal from New York and that they were there to arrest

me for practicing law without a license. Meanwhile, I had a permit from the United States

Department of Labor (USDOL) to interview farmworkers who were getting ready to work

in Puerto Rico.

The Police called the American Embassy, and someone came to assist in the arrest. I

notified the Embassy about the false arrest and also called USDOL and the FBI. On

February 22, 2007, I was released to return to the USA with the assistance of the FBI

and USDOL.

During this time, specifically on February 10, 2007, I was to celebrate my

birthday along with my then-girlfriend, Blanca, in Puerto Rico. Since I never showed up

and because she was not informed that I was in jail, she left me under the assumption that I

had decided to celebrate my birthday in the Dominican Republic instead.

The Court, apparently, had approved of my arrest in the Dominican Republic; it

knew the arbitrary nature of the incident but never did anything about it. The Petitioner

says and does anything and is quickly approved by this Court. If it had not been for the

FBI and USDOL, I would still be in jail.

June 28, 2004 - Lawful basis for granting the relief requested in the

Valley o f Hinnom. En2aged in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, o r

misrepresentation. The Petitioner, [to avenge] after the Respondent discovered the scam

committed by his father, Roberto Lebron, made false allegations and filed a complaint with

the Court. See Exhibit-E, NYS PETITION.

May 17, 2005 - Lawful basis for granting the relief requested in the

Valley of Hinnom. The Petitioner, [to avenge] after the Respondent discovered the scam

committed by his father, Roberto Lebron, Senior, fed the media pictures taken by the

Marshall. This was done before the court order of May 2005 was even filed. See Exhibit-G,

NEWSPAPERS.

October 10, 2006 - Lawful basis for granting the relief requested in

the Valley of Hinnom. Engaged in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or

committed by his father, Roberto Lebron, Senior, fed Puerto Rican newspapers

information about my medical record to discredit me and the program aimed at helping

the farmers. See Exhibit-H, PUERTO RICO.

February 9, 2007 - Lawful basis for granting the relief requested in

the Valley of Hinnom. Engaged in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or

misrepresentation. The Petitioner, [to avenge] after the Respondent discovered the scam

committed by his father, Roberto Lebron, Senior, fed the Dominican Republican Police

information to have me arrested and to discredit me and the program aimed at helping the

farmers. See Exhibit-I, ARREST IN DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.

committed by his father, Roberto Lebron, Senior, fed the media pictures taken by

Marshall. See Exhibit-J, TELEVISION.

The Respondent and his lawyer (Montes) never had an opportunity to defend the

allegations before the Court. The Petitioner knew how to reach Montes. Junior had

prepared the RJI. After viewing the motions filed by this Respondent "in the most

favorable light," there are numerous reasons for granting dismissal of this case. The

Federal Court stated that the Bronx Court must dismiss this case as they would not handle

matters before the Bronx Civil Court.

CAUSE OF ACTION, FAILURE TO ESTABLISH PERSONAL JURISDICTION

Montes was never notified.
Lawful basis for grantine; the relief requested in the Valley of Hinnom.

Engaged in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation. The Court's

prior order was without prejudice to renewal. Wily tile Petitioner never served Montes is tile

biggest mystery in this case. Was there a conflict o f interest or some other explanation? Is it

perhaps because o f tile Ineffectiveness o f Counsel in a civil-criminal case? We don't know.

This case had more than ten (10) hearings, and Montes was never notified to attend.

The court ruled on a summary judgment in response to a Complaint:

Service of Process Needs to be Proper on Party's Attorney
Absent Express Authorization from Party.

OnSeptember 15, 2023, Justice Joel M. Cohen of the New York County

Commercial Division issued a decision in Credit Europe Bank (Dubai) Ltd. v Shetty, Index No.

651931/2023, 2023 N.Y.Slip Op 33204(U) denying the Plaintiffs motion for a summary
judgment in light of complaint based on improper service of process. The rationale behind the

judgment was that, despite an affidavit from an attorney representing the defendant in another

action that he was authorized to accept service on behalf of that defendant in this action, the

Plaintiff had failed to show proper service of process because that attorney was not the

attorney on record in the underlying action, and because there was no evidence that the

defendant had authorized that attorney to accept process on its behalf. The Court explained:

"Service on an attorney is proper only where the attorney has appeared in the action in

which service is claimed to have been admitted (CPLR 2103/bj). Absent a formal appearance

by counsel o f record, serving process on a party's attorney is not sufficient to establish

personal jurisdiction absent proof o f the attorney's authorization" (Credit Europe Bank

(Dubai) Ltd at * 1 citing Redbridge Bedford, LLC v 159 N 3rd St. Realty Holding Corp., 175

AD3d 1569, 1571 [2d Dept 2019/). As previously determined by the Court, summary judgment

in lieu o f complaint should be denied where apparent counself o r the defendant admits service

but fails to provide any proof o f their authorization to accept it (Id. citing Lord Sec. Corp. v

Moorer, 2021 N. Y. Slip Op. 33706/UJ, 1 [N. Y. Sup Ct, New York County 2021/ [other citations

omitted/). The Court's prior order was "without prejudice to renewaland properly serving

Shetty" (Id. at *2 [ citations omitted/)."

"In an effort to demonstrate proper service o f its second motion for summary judgment

in lieu o f a complaint in this action, CEBD submits an affirmation o f service o f its counsel

(NYSCEF 34) annexed to which is an affirmation o f Benjamin Bianco, Esq. (NYSCEF35),

whose firm represents S/ietty in another action. Mr. Bianco states that he is authorized to

accept service in this action but does not attach any authorization from Shetty- the person to

be served - or other evidence o f his authority. While the Court does not have reason to

question the truthfulness o f Mr. Bianco's statement, it remains insufficient to establish

personal iurisdiction over Shetty."

The courts have inherent power to grant relief through judgments and decisions,

irrespective of the time limitations imposed by CPLR 5015 and Article 84. City of Utica v.

Gold Medal Corp .. 55 Misc. 2d 182 (N.Y. Sup. Ct. 1967). CPLR 213 provides that a six-year

statute of limitations applies to "an action for which no limit is specifically prescribed by

law." Ostad v. Nehmadi, 2019 N.Y. Slip Op. 32250 (N.Y. Sup. Ct. 2019).

There is no evidence that the Respondent represented that he is an attorney.
The Respondent's position was Legal Assistant, New York City Department of
Correction number 23892.

Assistant Pass
Lawful basis for granting the relief requested in the Valley of Hinnom. The

Petitioner engaged in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation,

The Petitioner knows that this Respondent is a registered Legal Assistant. The

Petitioner knows that this Respondent is an accountant. Unlike attorneys and banks,

Respondent knows that you debit your bank account. They make a deposit and credit the

Attorney assistants, e.g., paralegals, investigators, law students, social workers, or

other individuals employed by or working under the supervision of an attorney

representing an inmate, can apply for photo identification passes valid for one year, four

months, or one day. The four-month pass is issued to student interns who are assisting an

attorney or legal services organization. In contrast, a one-year pass is issued to permanent

employees or other individuals expected to be working under the supervision of an attorney

for that time or longer.

Applicants are required to submit a completed application form and at least one

government-issued photo identification. In addition, the applicant must submit a letter

from an attorney-employer detailing the applicant's title, duties, and reason for the one-

year, four-month, or one-day pass. For a one-year or four-month pass, the letter must also

ensure that the attorney-employer will notify the Department during the validity of the

pass if the applicant's employment or internship with the attorney-employer ends and

return the one-year or four-month pass to the Legal Pass Office.

The Department does not accept applications for an attorney assistant pass unless

the applicant is working under the supervision of an attorney actively engaged in

representing one or more inmates in the Department's custody. Attorney assistants receive

their pass after review by the Department's Investigation Division. Upon approval,

applicants are notified to pick up the pass.

For renewals, applicants must submit a new application, at least one government-

issued photo identification, the old pass, and a recent letter from the attorney-employer.

Lawful basis for granting the relief requested in the Valley of Hinnom.

Engaged in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation. The

attorneys under whom the Respondent worked handled the client files and appeared before

the courts. This Respondent prepared the interview 0MB forms and documents under the

supervision of the attorneys. During the radio show, Heriberto Cabrera, Attorney at Law,

appeared with the Respondent.

Meanwhile, on June 28, 2004, back in our office, the lawyers were stunned.

Heriberto Cabrera, John J. Montes, Bozena Ziedalski, Neil Grimaldi, Ian Hinonangan, and

Patricia Pena tried to help this Respondent.

Still, the efforts were ignored by what is known to be a conspiracy to avenge the

report of the scam perpetrated by Senior. At the same time, the office was working very

hard with immigration applicants.

The radio show, because of this case, was postponed until further notice. See

worked on those cases. If what the Petitioner is asserting is true, then the recordings would

show that the Respondent was referred as an attorney.

People calling the Respondent while the radio show was going on would have said

"attorney." The attorney during the radio show was Heriberto Cabrera, Attorney at Law.

In fact, he is a retired Assistant District Attorney.

A retired Judge of the Bronx Supreme Court, Salvador Collazo, referred to the

Respondent as "Edwin the accountant" and nothing else. He worked in the Respondent's

office with his clients.

Neil Grimaldi, Attorney at Law, who ran for Bronx District Attorney, had

Respondent get the identification card from the New York City Department of Corrections

as Legal Assistant. He filed the paperwork with New York City Corrections.

John J. Montes, Attorney at Law, had the Respondent assist him and all other

attorneys in the office in the preparation of documents and motions filed with USCIS. We

are asking the Court to dismiss this case.

(l) A judge shall be faithful to the law and maintain professional competence in it.

Partisan interests, public clamor, or fear of criticism shall not sway a judge.

Engaged in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation. The

Petitioner falsified evidence, counseled, or assisted a witness to testify falsely or offer an

inducement to a witness, is prohibited by law.

The affidavits filed by clients about our services were false. The worst clients who

are desperate because of their cases documented by USCIS said false statements beyond

belief.

Ariel Cadavid, for example, was arrested for selling cocaine and was sought by the

FBI and USCIS Agents who came to our office to review his file.

Stevenson Laudat was the captain o f a ship that, according to him, broke down; he

allowed the waves to take the vessel to shore until he got off and took a taxi to the airport to

return to his country o f origin. At the airport, he gave Border Patrol a different name and

was deported. He later applied for a visa to enter the USA using another name. Who will

believe him when he says that he abandoned the ship when he walked away to return to his

country?

The ship, we believe, was full o f cocaine, and he sold the whole cargo to the cartel. That

is why he used a different name to return to his country o f origin. He returned to his country of

origin, he said to purchase a few properties and worked on entering the USA with a Visa

based on a petition filed by his mother. He entered as Stevenson Laudat, but that was not

the name when he was deported from the airport.

The Petitioner falsified evidence, counseled or assisted witnesses to testify falsely, or

offered an inducement to a witness. God willing, they will face this Respondent in a Court

of Law. Details of each witness will reveal that they signed affidavits custom-made by this

Petitioner.

One of the witnesses worked in my office. Her husband entered with a passport that

had a Visa Stamp, only that he changed the picture on the first page. He pulled the original

picture on the passport and put his own picture. He was arrested by Border Patrol and had

a pending order of deportation. When I was arrested in the Dominican Republic, his

relative was one of the Police Officers.

For unknown reasons, the petitions filed by this Respondent were denied by USCIS.

For example, petitions asking for benefits for Isabel RIVERA, my wife, and the members

of our church were denied. I am also aware that by law, I may be imprisoned for up to five

years or fined $250,000, or both, for entering a marriage contract to evade any U.S.

immigration law. In addition, I may be fined up to $10,000 and imprisoned for up to five

years, or both, for knowingly and willfully falsifying or concealing a material fact or using

any false document in submitting this petition.

Comment

(1) The procedure of the adversarial system contemplates that the evidence in a case is

to be marshaled competitively by the contending parties. Fair competition in such a system

is secured by prohibitions against destruction or concealment of evidence, improperly

influencing witnesses, obstructive tactics in discovery procedure, and the like.

(2) Documents and other items of evidence are often essential to establish a claim or

defense (See motion 011). Subject to evidentiary privileges, the right of an opposing party,

including the government, to obtain evidence through discovery or subpoena is an

important procedural right. The exercise of that right can be frustrated if relevant material

is altered, concealed, or destroyed.

The applicable law in many jurisdictions makes it an offense to destroy material if

the purpose is impairing its availability in a pending proceeding or one whole

commencement can be foreseen. Falsifying evidence is also generally a criminal offense.

Falsifying Translation of Newspaper Advertising - 2004

Sometime before June 2004 - Someone other than the Respondent placed an

advertisement; see Exhibit-D, LICENCIADO. It was removed three days later. There are

written rules when translating documents from Spanish into English. You must adhere to

the correct translation of each word that is best for the listeners or readers. Our listeners

from Ecuador and Mexico on the INMIGRACION HOY radio show had to comply with

See Exhibit-F. NYS TRANSLATOR AFFIDAVIT. Marisol Lugo wrote,

"(b) Spanish is my first language, which I learned from my parents. who are both Spanish

This explanation doesn't sound like she is an expert in translations. This whole thing

describes a situation giving rise to personal animosity or retaliation. The fraudulent

translation was fixed. The courts have inherent power to grant relief from the judgments

and decisions irrespective of the time limitations imposed by CPLR 5015 and Article 84.

This translation caused problems. The translator deliberately falsified the

translation: "(b) falsify evidence, counsel, or assist a witness to testify falsely or offer an

inducement to a witness, is prohibited by law;"

Now, please refer to the work of a professional translator. See Exhibit-K for the

accurate translation.

With so many sources that teach us the proper translation of the word Licenciado, it

is unclear why it was mistranslated. See the following sources: (1) ASCP Board of

Certification. What is the equivalent of a Licenciado from Mexico in the United States of

America? Answer:

A bachelor's degree is the equivalent of a license from Mexico. See Exhibit-

FINDMATE. (2) See Oxford Languages. (3) See Black's Law Dictionary. The term is given

to a person who is not in the legal profession or a person with no particular occupation. (4)

See Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. A licentiate (abbreviated Lie.), is an academic

degree present in many countries, representing different educational levels. It may be

similar to a master's degree when issued by pontifical universities and other universities in

Europe, Latin America, and Syria.

SUMMARY OF ARGUMENTS

Although Licenciado expressly appears in the statutory definition of law books, case

law has rejected a literal interpretation of the definition, especially when a person is

exercising his constitutional rights and freedom of speech. Hence, this substance-over-form

approach looks at economic realities. People come to our office to seek essential things

needed to stay alive. The statutory definition itself requires a transactional analysis.

The Plaintiff has failed to state a proper claim owing to the poor translation of

Licenciado. Obviously, the Respondent was not doing business under different names other

than when on the radio show. An examination of the radio show recordings proves that the

Respondent is referred to as Edwin therein.

The Plaintiff needs to improve in other ways that will be brought to light upon an

examination and review of the accounting books and records. See RECORD. All clients

have an outstanding balance for the monies paid on their behalf to the lawyers who

represented their case before USCIS. See the list of attorneys listed herein.

Finally, the Respondent seeks triple damages based on false allegations that have

caused injury. Even when construed in the light most favorable to the Plaintiff, his

complaint fails to allege injury of the sort that New York State sought to remedy by acting

upon the allegations.

WHEREFORE, the deponent respectfully asks for an order

relieving the Respondent from the aforesaid judgment(s) and vacating and

setting aside the judgment(s).

Consistent with the objectives of Rules 4.2 (ABA MODEL RULES) and 4.3,

disclosure to a represented defendant must be made through the defendant's counsel and,

in case of an unrepresented defendant, it must ordinarily be accompanied by a request to

the court for the appointment of counsel to assist the defendant in taking such legal

measures as may be appropriate.

The Respondent respectfully asks the court to appoint counsel to assist the respondent.
