18. At issue in this case is the defendant(s) pursuit of administrative enforcement actions against the plaintiff which violated her due process rights under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment rights under the U.S. Constitution.

19. The plaintiff is aggrieved by the defendant(s) final determination regarding actions taken in collecting and disbursing child support or, regarding the plaintiff's failure to comply with a subpoena, summons, or orders in which the plaintiff was never legally named as a party.

20. On September 29, 1998, the Middlesex Probate and Family Court ( Dilday, J. ) modified the Judgment of Divorce dated August 20, 1996. Judgment was entered in accordance with a stipulation dated September 29, 1998 that Matthew Tringali ( biological Father ) and Leisha Tringali ( biological Mother ) shall have joint legal and physical custody under case docket 96D 1305.

21. The plaintiff asserts that by incorporating the custody agreement into the judgment of absolute divorce, it became enforceable through the courts, as a valid provision of the decree.

("Once the court decides to incorporate an agreement between the parties as part of its decretal relief, something which it does not necessarily have to do, particularly as to provisions relating to children, the agreement is included within the order and is enforceable as a valid provision of the decree.").See Kemp v. Kemp, 287 Md. 165, 175, 411 A.2d 1028 (1980)

22. On June 25, 2002 the defendant, Hannah Attuso filed notice of appearance for DOR/CSE as counsel with the Middlesex Probate and Family Court ( Donnnelly, J. ) The defendant Hannah Attuso further motioned the Middlesex Probate and Family Court to request for financial statement against Leisha Eshbach.

Page 5: Federal Civil Complaint

plaintiff of a full and fair opportunity to be heard.

As the Supreme Court so aptly wrote: "The point is straightforward: the Due Process Clause provides that certain substantive rights — life, liberty, and property — cannot be deprived except pursuant to constitutionally adequate procedures." Cleveland Board of Education v. Loudermill, 470 U.S. 532, 541, 105 S. Ct. 1487, 1493, 84 L.Ed.2d 494 (1985).

Those "constitutionally adequate procedures" require notice and an opportunity to be heard. Mullane v. Central Hanover Bank & Trust Co., 339 U.S. 306, 313, 70 S.Ct. 652, 656-57, 94 L.Ed. 865 (1950); Notice must be "reasonably calculated, under all the circumstances, to apprise interested parties of the pendency of the action and afford them an opportunity to present their objections." Mullane, 1052* 1052 339 U.S. at 314, 70 S. Ct. At 657.

Notice must be "reasonably calculated, under all the circumstances, to apprise interested parties of the dependency of the action and afford them an opportunity to present their objections." Mullane, 1052*1052 339 U.S. at 314, 70 at 657.

25. Procedural due process demands that a party affected by government action be given notice and an opportunity to be heard before being deprived of a property interest.

26. The plaintiff asserts that her legal name is Leisha Tringali. Plaintiff further asserts that her legal name is not now nor ever was her name Leisha Eshbach.

27. The plaintiff declares any order that names Leisha Eshbach can not be enforceable upon plaintiff without violating her due process rights.

28. The plaintiff asserts that a temporary order for child support is classified in the broader category of “pendente lite” orders. These are court orders that are temporarily enforced until the end of trial or court proceedings.

29. On December 5, 2003 the Middlesex Probate and Family Court ( McSweeny, J. ) appointed Peter Tringali permanent guardianship with custody of the minor child ZT under docket number 99P 5181GM. [ Id. 2 ]

31. The plaintiff asserts any temporary order of support that the defendants are using against the plaintiff would not be enforceable after the entry of a final judgment and or decree.

32. The plaintiff claims that it was the responsibility of the defendant(s) to file for a modification as the plaintiff continues to declare any order that names Leisha Eshbach can not be enforceable upon plaintiff without violating her due process rights

34. The plaintiff alleges the unknown defendant(s) without the express authorization of the plaintiff transferred her personal identifying information ( Social Security Number ) to obtain child support payments under a synthetic identity created by the unknown defendant(s) ( DTA)

35. On or about March 24, 2003 the plaintiff alleges the unknown defendant(s) DOR levied $475.98 from Citizens Bank of Massachusetts from Leisha Tringali, the plaintiff’s account. Account number 110998-XXX-X.

44. On June 13, 2011 the plaintiff claims she was denied the renewal of her license - operating privileges. The New Hampshire Registry of Motor Vehicles declared that plaintiff’s right to operate was under suspension by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in a National Database Registry.

45. On June 13, 2011 the plaintiff claims she was denied her application for renewal of her driver’s license in the State of New Hampshire where plaintiff resides.

46. On June 13, 2011 the plaintiff claims she contacted the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles ( hereinafter the “RMV” ) call center in Quincy, Massachusetts. The plaintiff spoke with an employee named Derek Anderson to find out why her renewal was denied.

47. The plaintiff alleges Derek Anderson explained that on June 23, 2010 the RMV received a computer generated notice of suspension by the DOR/CSE. Derek Anderson further stated that on July 3, 2010 plaintiff’s license went under suspension due to child support obligations.

48. The plaintiff alleges she explained to Derek Anderson that there is no legal order for her to pay child support. The child support order was fraudulent and asked if they had a copy of said order. Derrek Anderson put plaintiff through to his supervisor The defendant, "Anilton".

49. The plaintiff alleges she then again explained to the defendant, Anilton that there is no legal order for her to pay child support. The child support order was fraudulent. Plaintiff asked if the RMV had acopy of said order. The defendant, Anilton stated the RMV did not have the order only a computer generated notice from the DOR/CSE.

50. The plaintiff alleges the defendant, Anilton did not lift the suspension of the plaintiff’s license and quoted MGL 119 s.16 (b) as his authority.

According to the DOR/CSE, M.G.L. c 119A, § 16, gives them the authority to suspended a individuals business, trade, professional, recreational or motor vehicle license or virtually any other license or registration that a person has legally obtained.

51. The plaintiff alleges the defendant, Anilton stated “Once you have cleared your outstanding obligation, you must present the Registry of Motor Vehicles with an official notice from the Child Support Enforcement Division of the Massachusetts Department of Revenue, stating that you are in compliance with the payment plan and are eligible or reinstatement”.

52. The plaintiff alleges the defendant, Anilton insinuated that plaintiff owed child-support with no proof from the DOR/CSE other then a computer generated letter.

53. On June 23, 2011 the plaintiff alleges the defendant, Rachel Kaprielian, Registrar of the

Page 8: Federal Civil Complaint

Commonwealth of Massachusetts Execustive Office of Transportation Registry of Motor Vehicles sent Leisha Tringali a notice of suspension effective on July 3, 2010. [ Id. 6 ]

The Supreme Judicial Court has "construed the `original cause' language to mean an affirmative act (not a failure to act) by a public employer that creates the `condition or situation' that results in harm inflicted by a third party." See Kent v. Commonwealth, 437 Mass. 312 - Mass: Supreme Judicial Court 2002

It is appropriate to consider the magnitude of the potential harm that the defendant's conduct would have caused to its intended victim if the wrongful plan had succeeded, as well as the possible harm to other victims that might have resulted if similar future behavior were not deterred - TXO Production Corp. v. Alliance Resources Corp., 509 US 443 - Supreme Court 1993

54. The plaintiff claims that for the defendant(s) Rachel Kaprielian and Anilton to implicate and enforce M.G.L. c 119A, § 16, in the manner in which they chose to enforce against the plaintiff, would

with no doubt have to violate her rights under the 5th, 7th and 14th Amendments of the United States Constitution.

55. Although according to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts having a drivers license is a privilege, the suspending of a license without a valid court order or a hearing on an allegation is a clear violation of one’s due process.

56. The plaintiff hereby asserts and declares that application of M.G.L c. 119A, § 16 is unconstitutional for the following reasons;

( a.) Plaintiff, Leisha Tringali was never afforded a hearing for a child support order.

( b.) Plaintiff was never afforded a hearing regarding the suspension of her driver’s license.

57. Under the VII Amendment (part of the “Bill of Rights”) of the United States Constitution it states the following;

“In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.”

58. The Massachusetts Constitution further backs this Amendment by stating the following;

For this purpose, “[a] right is ‘clearly established’ if it meets one of three tests: (1) it is defined with reasonable clarity; or (2) the Supreme Court or this Circuit has affirmed its existence; or (3) a reasonable defendant would understand form existing law that his acts were unlawful” Cook v. Sheldon 41 f.3d 73 (2nd Cir. 1994)

59. Though the law itself be fair on its face and impartial in appearance, yet, if it is applied and administered by public authority with an evil eye and an unequal hand, so as practically to make unjust

Page 9: Federal Civil Complaint

an illegal discriminations between persons in similar circumstances, material to their rights, the denial of equal justice is still within the prohibition of the Constitution. YICK WO v. HOPKINS, 118 US 356, (1886)

60. “In all controversies concerning property, and in all suits between two or more persons, except in cases in which it has heretofore been other ways used and practiced, the parties have a right to a trial by jury; and this method of procedure shall be held sacred, unless, in causes arising on the high seas, and such as relate to mariners' wages, the legislature shall hereafter find it necessary to alter it.”

61. After a careful examination of the VII amendment and Article XV, no where does it exempt the Commonwealth, oblige or obligor, custodial or non-custodial, husband or wife, male or female or does it make any special provision for any child-support that is allegedly in the arrears but to the contrary it clearly states ALL controversies.

It has further said:

"Not only is a biased decision maker constitutionally unacceptable but `our system of law has always endeavored to prevent even the probability of unfairness.'" Withrow v. Larkin, 421 U.S. 35, 48, 95 S.Ct. 1456, 1465, 43 L.Ed.2d 712 (1974); Gibson v. Berryhill, 411 US 564 - Supreme Court 1973

62. Considering that the DOR/CSE and the plaintiff had two separate opinions on what might have been owed and/ or who might have owed it, that without doubt constituted a controversy and for the Commonwealth not to provide a jury trial violated plaintiff’s clearly established constitutional right.

63. For the RMV to suspend the plaintiff’s driver license or any other license by a request from the DOR/CSE or any other third party with no valid court order would violate plaintiff’s due process under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment of the United State Constitution.

64. The FifthAmendment (part of the “Bill of Rights”) states;

“No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”

65 While the Fourteenth Amendment under section one states;

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

66. There the Supreme Court Said:

The Due process Claus entitles a person to an impartial and disinterested tribunal in both civil and criminal cases. This requirement of neutrality in adjudicative proceedings safeguards the two

Page 10: Federal Civil Complaint

central concerns of procedural due process, the prevention of unjustified or mistake deprivations and the promotion of participation and dialogue by affected individual in the decision making process. The neutrality requirement helps to guarantee that life, liberty, or property will not be taken on the basis of an erroneous or distorted conception of the facts or the law. At the same time, it preserves both the appearance and reality of fairness, “generating the feeling, so important to a popular government, that justice has been done,” by ensuring that no person will be deprive of his interested in the absence of a proceeding in which he may present his case with assurance that the arbiter is not predisposed to find against him. PORTER v. SINGLETARY 49 F.3rd 1483 (11th Cir. 1995) Quoting Marshall v. Jerrico, Inc. 446 U.S. 238, 100 S.Ct. 1610, 64 L.Ed 2nd 182 (1980).

67. The DOR/CSE are state actors, acting under the “color of law” they should have known that suspending the plaintiff’s driver’s license was an arrestable offense which would cause her a loss of her liberty and then a loss of her property defending these offenses.

68. The plaintiff again reiterates that according to the RMV having a driver’s license is a “privilege” and with that said, the Fourteenth Amendment further states that;

“... No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States;”

69. On September 18, 2011 the plaintiff claims she attempted to file a motion to dismiss/vacate any and all child support orders against Leisha Eshbach with the Middlesex Probate and Family Court under docket 96D 1305. The clerk of the court stated that plaintiff “could not file a motion to dismiss/vacate because there was no valid order in effect” in the file.

70. The plaintiff argues that because no motion or modification could be filed there is no valid order the plaintiff would be unable to seek relief under an appeal.

71. On October 13, 2011 the plaintiff mailed a certified demand letter to Doug Comfort. The plaintiff raised the issue of due process declaring proper service to her has never been served or ordered.

72. The plaintiff asserted that the DTA created a synthetic identity of Leisha Eshbach and the DOR/CSE attached the Social Security Number of the plaintiff to the name of Leisha Eshbach. The plaintiff asserted that this was Identity Theft.

73. The plaintiff made the following demands and that they be met within 10 business day.

74. The certified letters were received on October 14, 2011. The plaintiff’s demands were not met.

75. On January 19, 2011 the Register of Probate’s office mailed plaintiff a copy of the temporary child support order.

76. On January 27, 2011 the plaintiff claims she filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission for Identity Fraud. Reference Case # 34668457

78. On March 29, 2012 the plaintiff filed a Federal Complaint. The plaintiff sued several state agencies and a state employee for declaratory relief, injunctive relief, and damages. Plaintiff claimed that the defendants violated her procedural due process rights by enforcing a child support order against her without providing notice or a hearing.

79. On August 9, 2012 James Sweeny ( Attorney of Record ) filed a Motion to Dismiss for failure to state claim. Claiming immuntiy under the eleventh amendment.

80. On November 5, 2012 a telephone conference was held between Judge Paul J. Barbadoro and Attoeny James Sweeny. Attorney James Sweeny was directed to contact the plaintiff via letter to arrange a discussion of the case and possibility of resolving it.

81. During the telephone conference Judge Barbadoro states: " Regardless of what the merits are on the motion to dismiss, if that were true it would seem to me that the Attorney General's Office would have interest in trying to explore that matter with her and trying to resolve it, because I assume the Attorney General's Office doesn't support government takings of peoples property that's not owed. Is that a fair assumption? Attorney James Sweeny responds: Yes. [ Id. 7 ]

82. Plaintiff alleges Attorney James Sweeny never contacted the plaintiff as directed by Judge Paul J. Barbadoro.

83. On November 13, 2012 The court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss. The court found that the state agencies and the state employee acting in his official capacity were immune from claims for damages and other retrospective relief under the Eleventh Amendment, rejecting plaintiff’s argument that the state waived Eleventh Amendment immunity by accepting federal funds under the Social Security Act. The court also found that all claims against the state employee in his official and individual capacities were barred because the plaintiff failed to show that the employee was a proximate cause of the constitutional violations plaintiff alleged or has the power to implement the relief she seeks.

84. On June 4, 2013 the plaintiff alleges the defendant Laurie McGrath sent notice to the plaintiff that her Department had issued a new Income Order/ Notice of Support.[ Id. 8 ]

85. The defendant Laurie McGrath is the Deputy Commissioner for DOR.

86. The defendant Laurie McGrath intentionally retaliated against plaintiff by sending such notice knowing that there was a pending case that was under review with the First Circuit Court of Appeals and that Leisha Tringali was suing her department for Synthetic Identity Theft and knowing this would cause harm to Leisha Tringali.

87. On or about June 5, 2013 the plaintiff claims she contacted several employees from the Department of Revenue Child Support Enforcement Division and was referred to the District Attorney's Office as they refused to provide the plaintiff with any information in which has now been altered naming the

91. The defendant Darrin Davis did not return plaintiff's call nor did he provide the documents in which plaintiff is entitled.

CLAIMS FOR RELIEF

The plaintiff is a prose litigant with no legal education to assist in drafting of her pleading and pleads with this court to hold her pleadings less stringent standards and construe her filings liberally.

Plaintiff brings forth the following counts and allegations supporting her cause of action:

DEPERVATION OF RIGHTS UNDER THE COLOR OF LAW UNDER

Title 18, U.S.C., Section 242

The preceding paragraphs are hereby incorporated herein as though fully set forth and are made a part of this paragraph.

At all times relevant herein, the conduct of all Defendants were subject to the federal and state civil rights acts.

The plaintiff affirms her belief that the seizure of her property was prohibited, inter alia, by the Fourth Amendment, and argues that the seizure of plaintiff's private property for public use without just compensation under the Fifth Amendment.

Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States

All Defendant(s) acted under color of law but contrary to law, and intentionally and unreasonably deprived Leisha Tringali of rights, privileges, and immunities secured by the Constitution, laws of the United States, and 42 U.S.C. § 1983, including:

Page 16: Federal Civil Complaint

(a) The plaintiff's right not to be deprived of property without due process of law, as

guaranteed by Amendments V and XIV of the United States Constitution.

(b) The plaintiff's right not to be deprived of liberty without due process of law, as

guaranteed by Amendments V and XIV of the United States Constitution.

Therefore the Plaintiff demands judgment against all Defendant(s), for compensatory and punitive damages in whatever amount the jury may determine, plus costs, interest, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1988.

NOTICE AND OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD

Amendments V and XIV of the United States Constitution

The preceding paragraphs are hereby incorporated herein as though fully set forth and are made a part of this paragraph.

At all relevant times herein, Plaintiffs had a right under the due process clauses of the state and federal constitutions not to be deprived by the government of her constitutionally protected interest. U.S.C.A. Const.Amend. 4 &14; M.G.L.A. Const. Pt. 1, Art. 10.

Plaintiff is aggrieved by the defendant's final determination regarding actions taken in collecting and disbursing child support. Procedural due process demands that a party affected by government action be given notice and an opportunity to be heard before being deprived of a property interest.

The defendant(s) failed to afford either of these aspects of due process to plaintiff when deciding the amount of her child support obligation. Plaintiff alleges she was deprived of a full and fair opportunity to be heard.

As the Supreme Court so aptly wrote: "The point is straightforward: the Due Process Clause provides that certain substantive rights — life, liberty, and property cannot be deprived except pursuant to constitutionally adequate procedures.” Tulsa Professional Collection Services v. Pope 485 U.S. 478, 108 S. Ct 1340, 1344, 99 L.Ed.2d 565 (1988)"

The plaintiff's complaint is based upon notice and an opportunity to be heard. The defendant, DOR/CSE has and continues to harm plaintiff through fraud by the use of temporary child support order in which the plaintiff is not named.

Pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b), alleging that the temporary child support order was obtained through fraud.

Page 17: Federal Civil Complaint

Such a fraud suffices as a basis to set aside the temporary child support order under F.R.C.P. 60(b).

Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court grant her relief under F.R.C.P. 60(b)

Therefore the Plaintiff demands judgment against all Defendant(s),Pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b) set aside the temporary child support , for compensatory and punitive damages in whatever amount the jury may determine, plus costs, interest, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1988, and, granting such other further relief that under the circumstances may seem appropriate to this Honorable Court.

AGGERVATED IDENTY THEFT UNDER

18 USC ァ 1028A(a)(1) & (2)

The preceding paragraphs are hereby incorporated herein as though fully set forth and are made a part of this paragraph.

At all times relevant herein, the conduct of all Defendants were subject to the federal and state civil rights acts.

The Defendants are jointly and severally responsible and liable for disgorging all money that they wrongfully obtained through their illegal conduct, and for restoring such money to the Plaintiff, plus pre-judgment and post-judgment interest.

THEREFORE, the Plaintiff demands that Judgment be entered in her favor and against the Defendants: ordering the Defendants, to reimburse to the Plaintiff the amounts of money they have collected in the amount of $13,709.48 granting her pre-judgment and post-judgment interests; awarding her a reasonable amount for attorneys’ fees, plus the costs of this action; and, granting such other further relief that under the circumstances may seem appropriate to this Honorable Court.

NEGLIGENT SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

The preceding paragraphs are hereby incorporatedherein as though fully set forth and are made a part of this paragraph.

At all times relevant herein, the conduct of all Defendants were subject to the federal and state civil rights acts.

Plaintiff claims for negligent security of personal information are based on the theory that accurate personal identifying information is the key that allows access to a person's financial accounts and credit.

The defendant(s) who maintain such information in the normal course of business have a legal duty to reasonably safeguard that information from being used for an illegitimate purpose.

This claim is analogous to a premises liability claim for negligent security resulting in criminal activity.

Page 18: Federal Civil Complaint

The plaintiff claims, the defendant(s) are alleged to have failed to take reasonable precautions to protect the plaintiff from foreseeable injuries caused by the agency in which the defendant(s) work or by a third party.

All persons have a duty to exercise reasonable care not to subject others to an unreasonable risk of harm. See Walls v. Oxford Management Co., 137 NH 653 - NH: Supreme Court 1993 Whether a defendant's conduct creates a risk of harm to others sufficiently foreseeable to charge the defendant with a duty to avoid such conduct is a question of law, 145 N.H. 190, 193 (2000), because "the existence of a duty does not arise solely from the relationship between the parties, but also from the need for protection against reasonably foreseeable harm."143 N.H. 208, 211 (1998) (quotation omitted). Thus, in some cases, a party's actions give rise to a duty. 137 N.H. at 656. Parties owe a duty to those third parties foreseeably endangered by their conduct with respect to those risks whose likelihood and magnitude make the conduct unreasonably dangerous. 143 N.H. at 211.

When property is seized by a state and then remanded to the custody of the United States, the federal agency receiving the property must provide notice of the seizure to any interested parties within 90 days of the date of the initial seizure. 18 U.S.C. § 983(a)(1)(A)(iv).

The Defendant(s) acted under color of law but contrary to law, and intentionally and unreasonably deprived Leisha Tringali of rights, privileges, and immunities secured by the Constitution, laws of the United States, and 42 U.S.C. § 1983, including:

As a direct and proximate result of the acts and/or omissions of all defendant(s) as stated within this Complaint, The plaintiff, Leisha Tringali suffered injuries and damages, including, but not limited to:

(a.) Loss of liberty, property and cherished constitutional rights;. (b.) Emotional distress, humiliation, outrage, indignity, anguish, and shock;

(c.) Damage to her reputation; (d.) Attorney fees and costs; (e.) Economic loss

(f.) Other damages currently unascertainable

Therefore the Plaintiff demands judgment against all Defendant(s), for compensatory and punitive damages in whatever amount the jury may determine, plus costs, interest, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1988, and, granting such other further relief that under the circumstances may seem appropriate to this Honorable Court.

RICO

The preceding paragraphs are hereby incorporatedherein as though fully set forth and are made a part of this paragraph.

Page 19: Federal Civil Complaint

At all times relevant herein, the conduct of all Defendants were subject to the federal and state civil rights acts.

The defendants constitute an illegal enterprise in acts or threat of acts in violation of Civil Rico Federal Racketeering Act USC 18, 1961-1963 et seq.

The following are particular violations:

(a) 18 USC 1001: Fraud

The defendant(s) knowingly and willfully falsified documents and or made use of all false documents knowing the same contained from a fraudulent documents.

(b) 18 USC 1951: Interference with interstate commerce

The defendant(s) robbed the plaintiff of her personal property against her will by means of actual and or threatened force to her personal propery and liberty.

The defendant(s) engaged in unlawful acts through a pattern of collection of an unlawful debt to acquire or maintain directly or indirectly an interest in the plaintiff's personal property and liberties.

The Plaintiff bring this action seeking redress for the illegal acts of the Defendants, which have resulted in a loss of her property, and for declaratory and injunctive relief to end those practices and prevent further losses.

Therefore the Plaintiff demands judgment against all Defendant(s), for compensatory and punitive damages in whatever amount the jury may determine, plus costs, interest, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1988, and, granting such other further relief that under the circumstances may seem appropriate to this Honorable Court.

PERMANENT INJUNCTION AND DECLARATORY JUDGMENT

The preceding paragraphs are hereby incorporated herein as though fully set forth and are made a part of this paragraph.

A permanent injunction and a declaratory judgment will serve the plaintiff's interest in putting an end to the Defendant(s) fraudulent conduct, where they, knowingly, intentionally and willfully, fraudulently collected and continue to attempt to collect funds from the plaintiff.

The Defendants’ unlawful conduct, if allowed to prevail, will cause the Plaintiff permanent irreparable injury.

The injuries to the Plaintiff far outweigh any harm which may be caused to defendant(s) should the Court grant the injunctive relief.

Page 20: Federal Civil Complaint

A permanent injunction and a declaratory judgment will serve that the Plaintiff will not be subjected to the Defendants’unlawful conduct and will not be deprived of her personal property.

Therefore the Plaintiff demands a permanent injunction and a declaratory judgment against all Defendant(s)

PRAYER FOR RELIEF
