William Verrinder v. City of Lewiston, Maine
DueProcess Securities
Whether the City of Lewiston, Maine, in violation of
the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution of the United States
of America, can require the Petitioner to pay $150.00,
as demanded in a Notice of Violation, to the City of
Lewiston to buy a hearing or to pay $150.00 to the
City of Lewiston before the Petitioner can defend
himself for the first time by challenging the
unconstitutionality of the Respondent 's demand that
the Petitioner pay $150.00 to the City of Lewiston to
buy a hearing or pay $150.00 to the City of Lewiston
before the Petitioner can defend himself for the first
time against a Notice of Violation that seeks to
impose mandatory statutory monetary fines and the
Respondent threatens to seize real property,
otherwise the Petitioner automatically loses the right
to defend himself in court and the City of Lewiston
automatically wins the entire lawsuit. The $150.00
fee covers either or both the purchase of the hearing
or the purchase of the ability of the Petitioner to
defend himself.
Whether, in violation of the Due Process Clause of
the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of
the United States of America, the Respondent can
first tell, three years after filing the lawsuit and
issuing the Notice of Violation, the Petitioner of a
non-existent waiver to the $150.00 fee to buy a
hearing or $150.00 fee before the Petitioner can
defend himself for the first time against a Notice of
Violation (NOV) that seeks to impose mandatory
statutory monetary fines and the Respondent
threatens to seize real property; and when the non
existent waiver, as emphasized by the dissent, isn't
mentioned in the Notice of Violation, and as the
dissent states, there isn't a city ordinance that allows
the Zoning Board to waive the $150.00 fee to buy a
hearing or waive the $150.00 fee for the Petitioner to
defend himself for the first time against the Notice of
Violation, and when as the dissent emphasizes the
Respondent never argued that the $150.00 fee could
be waived.
Whether, in violation of the Eighth Amendment to
the Constitution of the United States of America, the
City of Lewiston can use a Notice of Violation to
impose unconstitutionally excessive mandatory
statutory fines for the Petitioner having had
deliberately disorderly, for artistic purposes, placed
household items and other non-dangerous items on
the Petitioner's lawn that expressed political speech
either with the political speech painted on the items
or written in magic marker on the smaller items, and
the political speech is very similar to political speech
that has all ready been approved by the Supreme
Court of the United States of America in Cohen v.
California, 403 U.S. 15 (1971), which is why it was
used, and when the City of Lewiston has never
presented any sworn affidavits that the household
items, sheetrock, tires, and other items listed in the
Notice of Violation cannot also qualify as political
speech when political speech is written on them, and
when the dissent below states that none of the items
posed any type of danger to anyone, and when the
Respondent has never claimed by affidavit that the
items posed a danger to anyone, and when the Code
