OBJECTION and MERGED AFFIDAVIT
I am Delbert G. Stewart, a"citizen" of the United States, and a"resident" of the
State of Ohio exercising my "right" for a"full redress" of my grievances before this
Supreme Court of Ohio and do hereby submit this "objection" merged with my
"affidavit".
1. Pamela Holder has "no standing" before this Supreme Court in case #09-0053 as
it relates to the "actions" of Judge Cynthia Westcott Rice, a "State" office holder, and
therefore a "State Actor".
2. Pamela Holder is not a "State Official" or "Employee" of the Ohio Attorney
General's Office; of which has "sole" duty, responsibility, and obligation to "defend"
State Officials and/or "Actors", (Judge Rice); Pamela Holder is the Assistant Prosecutor
and has knowingly permitted members of her office, (Leigh Prugh) "to cover up" the use
of "sham legal processes" that I personally notified them of numerous times in the past.
3. I, Delbert G. Stewart, am a life long citizen of Portage County, a former police
officer in that county, and have witnessed and experienced the "consequences" of corrupt
activity being "engaged" within the Court system of Portage County.
4. Pamela Holder is "exceeding her jurisdiction", and/or, in the alternative, is
ignorant of her "contracted" duties and obligations limited to Portage County for the
expressed purpose to "shut me up", and let Randal Lowry, Doris Stewart, Joseph Giulitto,
Jerry Hayes and Judith Nicely "walk" for their "offenses against justice and public
Administration".
3
5. Judge Cynthia Westcott Rice has an obligation and duty to "answer' my
"question" raised in this instant case #09-0053; "by what authority or warrant do you
write "false statements" that are "fraudulent" and a direct act of "fraud", as defmed in
"Black's Law Dictionary" as follows:
"An intentional perversion of truth for the purpose of inducing another in reliance
upon it to part with some valuable thing belonging to him, or to surrender a legal right. "
"A false representation of a matter offact, whether by words or by conduct, by false or
misleading allegations, or by concealment of that which should have been disclosed,
which deceives and is intended to deceive another so that he shall act upon it to his legal
injury.
6. Judge Cynthia Westcott Rice has an obligation and duty to "meet my demands"
"plead" in my appeal #08PA0068 which are "writs of mandamus" and "prohibito"; not
make "false statements" and dismiss my appeal that in effect denies my right to expose
"corrupt activity" as I exercise my right to prosecute provisions of ORC2923.34 (B) as it
relates to "corrupt activity", a violation of ORC2923.32, as I have alleged has occurred in
07CV0681, the cause for appeal #08PA0068.
7. I personally know that in Portage County, "sham legal processes" are being issued
on a regular basis and filed with the Clerk of Courts by the "criminal element" within the
Portage County Bar Association and "elsewhere". These "shams", as plead in
07CV0681, were used to facilitate "theft offenses" of my stolen money including the sale
and/or transfer of "securities" to other persons residing within "other jurisdictions"
because I refused to pay the "extortion" & "bribery" money.
4
8. It is an "obstruction of justice", by Pamela Holder, to unconstitutionally, (and
therefore unlawfnlly), move this Court "to dismiss" "my question" to Judge Cynthia
Westcott Rice; "by what authority do you, Judge Cynthia Westcott Rice, without a
quorum, make false statements, in your opinion and consequential "unlawful order"
deny my right to expose "corrupt activity" within the jurisdiction of Portage County?
I have alleged in 07CV0681 that "the Courts ", and their reputations, are being
used to 'facilitate theft offenses " and other acts within Chapter 2921
including "The organized Critne Control Act ", by what authority do you "make false
statements" in my appeal to "your court" that I have been statutorily and
constitutionally had my "rights interfered with" by Judge John Enlow in violation of
Civil Rule 82, and have a right to bring tlae "civil action"to a jury!!
9. The provisions of the 1970 Organized Control Act "recognized" that "public
officials", as defined in ORC2921.01, specifically include Judges, Legislators, and Law
Enforcement Officers. It was also recognized in 1970 that "members" of Corrupt
Organizations were becoming "more skilled" in their actions "to deceive", "intimidate",
and "threaten" Judges into "actions" in which "sham legal processes" including
"writings secured by deception" could be used to facilitate theft offenses specifically
when they were `5ournaled"; therefore, the "liability and culpability" for "using a sham
legal process" would then be transferred to "the client" and his/her "attorney". I am in
this legal predicament because I refuse to pay extortion and bribery money to
Joseph Giulitto and then Randal Lowry after Giulitto was "terminated".
5
10. In my case #01DR0664,.the "criminal element" of 3 legal professionals violating
the Code of Conduct and operating within that case did "connive", deceive, and then
attempt to "coerce" this litigant, whom was merely seeking to exercise the "lawful use"
of the Domestic Relations Court; "sitting in private capacity" for a divorce agreement.
I gave up my life savings to save my marriage to a very, very slxeedy woman"
that was specifically "read into the record" and was competently testified in "the
affirmative" by Doris and Delbert Stewart to prevent "the farther extortion" of "legal
fees", however; after the testimony of both litigants testifying that a divorce was in the
common interest of both parties and should be granted, the two lawyers & Judge
"unlawfully" held a "Kangaroo Court" with a "willing "Common Pleas Judge" sitting in
that `^rivate canacity", specifically barred by the Code of Judicial Conduct from
participating in any judicial proceedings that simulated "a trial "; however, his presence
was specifically needed for purpose of "deception" and to gain the issuance of "sham
legal processes" that purported to be the lawful "findings" of an "open court".
10. Randal Lowry was directed to prepare a "divorce decree", and also a "separation
agreement" as was testified and qualified by the actual parties and "read into the record",
however, on July 23, 2003, Randal Lowry presented a divorce decree merged with a
"fraudulent" separation agreement that created obligations and transfer of private
property and "securities" that was not in the agreement "as read into the record" on
November 12, 2002.
6
On July 23`d, 2003, Randal Lowry "deceived" Judge Jerry Hayes; attempted to
deceive Delbert Stewart; and then also "originally" deceived his own client, Doris
Stewart to believe that the Journal entry DRJR049 pg 0409 to 0425 was a "bona-fide"
agreement of the parties. I told Doris Stewart from the beginning that she was in
possession of a forgery, a fraud, and a "sham legal process"; however, she, and Randal
Lowry continued to "deceive" Ohio Child Support Payment Central and the Portage
County CSEA into issuing "their own" sham legal processes so as to receive stolen
money stolen from D.G. Stewart Roofing & Construction Ltd. I have the cancelled
checks that were specifically signed and labeled "under duress" in the "signature blank"
on the checks.
11. I unsuccessfully "appealed" a "private capacity" sham legal process in 2003
(03PA094 & 0122) and then appealed to this Court #05-0455 in which this court denied
my appeal as it recognized DRJR049 pg 0409 to 0425 was a"sham legal process" or
"unlawful order". I demanded.in the l la' District Court of Appeals 03PA094 & 0122
that "the legal professionals" involved in the "sting" or "sham" to pay for their
"statements of counsel" and their "fraud".
12. Despite my warnings to Randal Lowry and Doris Stewart, after the initial
"securities theft", from McDonald Investments in July of 2003, they continued "their
scheme" to further commit "theft offenses" with their "sham legal process" DRJR049 pg
0409 to 0425 by "using Article 16 "Spousal Support" of her "Sham Legal Process".
My former Attorney, Joseph Giulitto, (nka Judge Joseph Giulitto), used retired judge
Judith Nicely operating without the required "contract" required by the Supreme Court of
7
Ohio and ORC2701.10 to assist Doris Stewart in her "continued theft offenses" by sham
legal process DRJR049 pg 0409 to 0425
13. On January 3, 2007 an "unlawful" bench warrant is issued by Judith Nicely for
"the attachment" of Delbert G. Stewart for "failure to appear" before "her unlawful
court".
14. On January 16, 2007, and in "fear for my life" and "safety" I surrendered under
duress by an "unlawful warrant" issued by private citizen Judith Nicely and was "forced"
to surrender $58,126.14 or be incarcerated by an "unlawful use of the retired judge
statute" "stealing by deception and "threat" for "the benefit" of Doris Stewart.
15. On April 24, 2007, Ronald Clum, by and for Doris Stewart, files a
"falsification" "Motion in Contempt" of DRJR 0049 pgs 0409 thru 0425 a"sham legal
process" for another amount of $20,750.00 so that Judith Nicely can "steal securities"
that must be first sold.
16. On June 6, 2007 Ronald Clum, for Doris Stewart, files another "sham legal
process" for "non-compliance" of DRJR 0049 pgs 0409 thru 0425 to be held before
Judith Nicely without the required "Contractual" "Supreme Court Forms".
17. On February 5, 2008, Doris Stewart returned to the Portage County Domestic
Relations Court and Judith Nicely "unlawful restrained and incarcerated" me until I
sold stocks and securities in the amount of $20,750.00. Judith Nicely, "sitting by
sham certificate" issued by Brian Farrington, and by using a "sham legal process"
DRJR 0049 pg 0409 thru 0425.
8
18. It is profitable for "the criminal element of Attorneys" within a County Bar
Association "to use sham legal processes" to facilitate "fraud" against their own
clients and the "other parties" in any legal proceeding. If that "criminal element" of
the "Bar Association" has a "member" elected by the residents of that County to be a
Judge, then the "theft offenses by sham legal process" become much easier and more
difficult to prosecute. A willing Judge, sitting in private capacity, need only "abuse
his discretion".
19. The Portage County Government is an "oligarchy". An "oligarchy" that has all its
"affairs" controlled only by "Judges" and the "Prosecutor"; they and they alone
determine the "sufficiency" and "weight of evidence" to pursue "criminal actions", and
all "civil actions"; actions that do not include "malpractice" for Judges and Lawyers that
"knowingly and willingly create" and then "use sham legal processes" to facilitate "theft
offenses"; therefore, "tyranny and oppression" is alive and well in Portage County, Ohio,
and extortion is the income source for the Attorneys and Judges.
20. 'I'he State of Ohio Courts have consistently held that the "State Courts" cannot
determine "the weight and/or the sufficiency of evidence", therefore, only the "County
Prosecutor" deternunes "whom" and "what" will be prosecuted which is why Pamela
Holder is "unlawfully" representing Cynthia Westcott Rice.
21. ORC2923.34 (B) and a "jury" is the only Statute available to the Citizenry to
"stem the tide" of "corrupt activity" being used to facilitate theft offenses that includes,
but not limited to, the "misuse and abuse" of the retired judge statute (2701.10); the
Code of Judicial Conduct, as it relates to "private capacity"; and then "offenses against
9
justice and the public administration" of the Portage County Domestic Relations
Court, and the Portage County Common Pleas Court.
22. It does appear that Lawyers and Judges within Portage County and the State of
Ohio have placed themselves above the law; readily "ignore" the "rule of law" including,
but not limited to; rules of court; rules of superintendence; and the Codes of Judicial and
Professional Conduct. Justice does not exist in Portage County only extortion, tyranny,
and oppression, and "malicious prosecution".
23. It is a crime in the State of Ohio to violate ORC2921.13 (A)(13), (falsifications);
by what authority does Judge Cynthia Westcott Rice make "false statements" and
"ORC2921.45); "interfering with rights" to deny me a full redress of my grievances to a
jm'l'fl
24. "The record", in case #01DR0664, and the numerous other "cases" filed in my
name as "PlaintifP' prove the "blackmail", the "fraud", the "sham legal processes", and
most importantly the "misuse and abuse" of the law and the "legal process" that "creates"
and perpetuate "legal predicaments", by "using sham legal processes", journaled and/or
filed with the Clerk of Courts for the benefit of the "Criminal Element" of Attorneys to
extort "legal fees" for profit. Sham legal processes have only 1 purpose...... theft"
25. "Tyranny and Oppression" is defined the United States Code as "the misuse and
abuse of the law and the legal process"; the State of Ohio Legislature and Judiciary
within the County's are the "pay to play" extortion game and the "target" of the 1970
Organized Crime Control Act.
10
26. The "theft of assets" including "Securities" on account with the "Investment
Institutions" of McDonald Investments and UBS by Doris Stewart and Randal Lowry has
caused the "impending demise" of an Ohio Corporation named "D.G. Stewart Roofing &
Construction Ltd" that includes, but not limited to, "securities" set aside and on account
with McDonald Investments and UBS for "pension benefits" and "daily operations" of
that "commercial enterprise", which is a "Federal Offense"; however, I have always
desired to "prove" the "pattem of corrupt activity" in Portage County Courts, not the
United States District Courts.
THEREFORE
1. The Ohio Supreme Court shall "deny" Assistant Prosecutor Pamela Holder
her motion for "lack of standing".
2. The Ohio Supreme Court shall issue a writ of mandamus or "alternate writ" to
Judge Cynthia Westcott Rice to "reconsider" her opinion and "re-evaluate"
the record and "the facts" as to the "timeliness" and location of a"fmal
appealable order" and "grant relief" from the "dismissal" pursuant to Civil
Rule 60 A or B., and then "grant remedy" demanded by Delbert G. Stewart
and have a "concurrence" and "signature" of another 11`h District Court of
Appeals Judge that meets the definition of a "quorum"; or in the alternative,
3. The Ohio Supreme Court shall issue a "writ of mandamus" to the Portage
County Common Pleas Court and Judge John Enlow to "reopen" case
#07CV0681 and proceed forward with a trial by jury pursuant to the
statutory rights and guarantees of ORC2923.34(B).

Defendants.***
This matter is before the Court upon motion of Defendants
Randal A. Lowry and Weick, Gibson & Lowry, nka Gibson & Lowry
("Defendants"), for summary judgment on the claims of Plaintiff
Delbert Stewart ("Plaintiff"). Plaintiff filed no response.
At this stage of the proceedings, the granting of judgment is
only proper where no genuine issue of material fact remains for
determination, the evidence being construed most strongly in favor
of the defending party. Civ.R. 56(C); Temple v. Wean United, Inc.
(1977), 50 Ohio St. 2d 317, 327. Initially, the movant has the
burden of demonstrating to the court that there is no genuine issue
of material fact. "To accomplish this, the movant must be able to
point to evidentiary materials of the type listed in Civ.R. 56(C)
that a court is to consider in rendering summary judgment. ***
If the moving party fails to satisfy its initial burden, the motion
for summary judgment must be denied." Dresher v. Burt (1996), 75
Ohio St.3d 280, 292-293. After the movant has met that burden, the
defending party cannot rest on his pleadings, but must produce some
credible evidence on those issues upon which he bears the burden of
1
proof at trial. Wing v. Anchor Media, Ltd. of Texas (1991), 59
Ohio St.3d 108, at syll. 3.
Upon review and consideration of the motion, pleadings, and
affidavit filed herein, and construing the evidence most strongly
in favor of Plaintiff, the Court finds that there exists no genuine
issue of material fact, and that Defendants are entitled to
judgment as a matter of law.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that motion of Defendants Randal A.
Lowry and Weick, Gibson & Lowry, nka Gibson & Lowry for summary
judgment on Plaintiff's claims be and hereby is granted, and
Defendants are hereby granted judgment on Plaintiff's claims, and
Plaintiff take nothing of these Defendants.
