  1. Doe et al v. Boland

    Opposition to 77 Motion for summary judgment of Defendant

    Filed May 4, 2009

    The United States Supreme Court denied certiorari thereby affirming the reasoning and holding in Bach.32 Therefore, the defendant’s claim that the definitional section of 18 USC § 2256(8)(C) is unconstitutional has been specifically addressed and decided adversely to him. Even if 18 USC § 2256(8)(C) were unconstitutional, Plaintiffs still can civilly recover under 18 USC § 2252A(f) and 18 USC § 2255 for a violation of 18 USC § 2252A(a) which is neither premised upon nor uses the definition of child pornography contained in 18 USC §2256(8)(C). It is irrelevant that Bach took the face of an actual minor and placed it on existing child pornography33 while the defendant took the images of real and identifiable minors and placed them upon adult pornographic subjects that he altered to appear younger.

  2. Doe et al v. Boland

    Memorandum concerning outstanding issues as ordered

    Filed July 14, 2011

    If the criminal prohibitions of the United States Code apply in “morphing” situations, without offending the Constitution, then so must the civil remedies applicable to the same misconduct. It is respectfully suggested to this court that the deemed damages clause of 18 USC § 2255 is proof that Congress intended to punish offenders/compensate minor victims who suffer personal injury regardless of whether the victims are aware of being sexually exploited . (4) Does the definition of child pornography, section 2256(8)(C), violate the First Amendment?

Section 4 Civil Remedies of the Congressional Record.

  7. Doe (1) et al v. Backpage.com, LLC et al

    Opposition re MOTION TO DISMISS FOR FAILURE TO STATE A CLAIM

    Filed February 13, 2015

    Defendants rely heavily on M.A. v. Village Voice Media Holdings, LLC, 809 F. Supp. 2d 1041, 1055 (E.D. Mo. 2011), a case which involves Backpage.com, and is inapposite for multiple reasons. In M.A., the plaintiff alleged that the defendants violated 18 U.S.C. § 2255 for aiding and abetting a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1591, and that they also were liable under 18 U.S.C. § 1595. The factual allegations focused principally on the defendants’ knowledge of trafficking on their website.

  8. Doe (1) et al v. Backpage.com, LLC et al

    MEMORANDUM in Support re MOTION TO DISMISS FOR FAILURE TO STATE A CLAIM

    Filed January 16, 2015

    Obado, 2014 WL 3778261, at *8 (emphasis added). Indeed, in M.A., the plaintiff tried the same tack, alleging civil claims under 18 U.S.C. §§ 2255 and 1595, contending Backpage.com violated federal criminal laws by facilitating sex trafficking of minors. 809 F. Supp. 2d at 1053.

  9. Goodwin v. USA

    RESPONSE

    Filed September 16, 2014

    Amendment should not be permitted. As previously discussed, Goodwin’s second motion to amend, filed July 21, 2014, is not entitled to automatic amendment, and thus, to the extent that it raises new claims, is untimely under 18 U.S.C. § 2255(f). In his second motion to amend, Goodwin indicates that, at the time of his plea, he was under the influence of a long list of medications and seeks to have a doctor’s report included. (CV No. 12 at 3.)

  10. Doe et al v. Boland

    Opposition to 134 Motion for attorney fees

    Filed January 10, 2012

    Moreover, it is not clear under which statute the Plaintiffs’ damages were rendered. While the $300,000 amount indicates they were awarded under 18 U.S.C. 2255 which includes the “elevator clause” which increases a persons actual damages from their personal injury to $150,000, the court’s order does not declare under which provision or under both in some divided measure, the damages were awarded. In either event, an element of damages is subject to a Due Process hearing for Defendant since they were not disposed of via summary judgment by the court.
