- 8 - sentence and never has asked security guards to restrain a taxpayer. Ms. Huss’s testimony was clear, explicit, and entirely credible. With respect to petitioner’s statements that security personnel had refused to allow her to leave the courthouse and had acted on Ms. Huss’s orders, Steve Borak, senior deputy for the U.S. Marshals Service, testified that the Court’s security officers do not take orders from respondent’s counsel and that it would “defy intuition” for security personnel to involve themselves in the judicial process. Further, Mr. Borak testified that no incident reports were filed at any point during the Court’s February 2000 Phoenix trial session. Since security personnel must file an incident report any time they are involved with verbal confrontations or the use of force, an incident report would have been filed if security officers had brought someone back into the courtroom against his or her wishes. Petitioner has failed to show that the stipulated decision entered in this case was the result of fraud on the Court. Petitioner has not shown that Attorney Erin Huss or any security personnel engaged in any improper actions in the handling of petitioner’s case. The record establishes that petitioner’s accusations of fraud on the Court are without merit. For reasons set forth above, petitioner’s Motion is denied.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Next
