Petitioners’ Dismissal Efforts
Motions To Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction
On November 21, 2001, Dr. Trowbridge submitted “for the
petitioners” a motion styled “Petitioner’s Verified Challenge to
Jurisdiction of the Court”, which we filed in each case as a
motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. The motion “denies
the existence of any contracts or commercial agreements which
create an attachment of an equity relationship between the
‘United States’ and/or The State of Texas and Petitioner.” The
motion also states: “Petitioner has specifically forfeited,
waived, rejected, declined, and refused to voluntarily accept any
and all benefits, especially admiralty and limited debt liability
benefits, from the ‘United States’ and its instrumentalities.”
Apparently on those bases, the motion then states: “Petitioner
hereby gives formal notice to the Court of Petitioner’s status as
a nonjuristic person, a Texas state Citizen, and that, in such
status, Petitioner squarely challenges and voids the jurisdiction
of this Court.” Petitioners claimed in the motion that we lack
“in personam” jurisdiction and subject matter jurisdiction. We
denied the motion.
