IN UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
CASE NO.: 15-cv-20782-Martinez-Goodman
DENNIS MONTGOMERY,
Plaintiff,
v.
RISEN, ET AL.
Defendants.
_____________________________/
SUPPLEMENT TO PLAINTIFF’S OPPOSITION TO NOTICE OF SUPPLEMENTAL
AUTHORITY CONCERNING DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO DISMISS OR TRANSFER
Plaintiff Dennis Montgomery hereby supplements his Opposition to Notice of
Supplemental Authority Concerning Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss or Transfer (Plaintiff’s
Opposition).
On September 10, 2015, Plaintiff filed his Opposition to Notice of Supplemental
Authority Concerning Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss or Transfer and outlined his legal and
factual arguments why Defendants’ motion to supplement the record should stricken and/or be
denied. As noted in Plaintiff’s Opposition, attached as Exhibit 2 to this pleading is the complete
and undistorted testimony of Dennis Montgomery, confirming that he indeed is a citizen of and
is a domiciliary of Florida, as he is registered to vote in Florida, has Florida telephone numbers,
and, for the time being, cannot fully physically move to Florida because of his failing health.
In their Notice of Supplemental Authority, Defendants use disingenuous, “ bullet-points”
attempting to convince this Court that Plaintiff Montgomery resides in Washington, improperly
withhold testimony, and fail to provide a complete account of Plaintiff Montgomery’s testimony
throughout his deposition held on August 20, 2015. Under the Florida Rules of Professional

Conduct, Rules 4-3.3 and 4-3.4, pro hac vice out-of-state counsel, who are now laboring under
Florida law and professional standards, have a duty of candor toward the tribunal.
As set forth in attached Exhibit 2, which in his Opposition Plaintiff said would be
supplemented once the full transcript was obtained from the court reporter, Plaintiff Montgomery
testifies that he lives in Miami and when questioned, provides an address. He also testifies that
he was delayed in physically moving to Florida “with furniture and everything because I had
fallen and injured myself in Seattle.” See Exhibit 2. Additionally, Plaintiff Montgomery testifies
that his doctors have been in contact with neurosurgeons and “neuro people” in Miami in order
for him to be placed in the correct facility in Miami. Id.
As he has in previous sworn affidavits, both attached as Exhibit 3 of his Opposition,
Plaintiff Montgomery even outlines the steps he has taken at all material times in furtherance of
and which show his Florida citizenship and domicile in Florida. Id. For instance he testifies
further:
Q: Mr. Montgomery, where do you live?
A: In Miami.
Q: What’s your address in Miami?
A: 675 85th Northwest, Number 103. (The street number is not being put on the record
for security reasons). See Exhibit 2, all highlighted portions of transcript. In addition, Plaintiff
Montgomery testifies regarding his phone numbers.
Q: Do you have a Florida telephone number?
A: Yes.
Q: When did you obtain that?
A: I think in March of 2000 – this year.

Q: ’15?
A: This year, ’15, yes.
Q: Is that for a cell phone or hardline phone?
A: Both. I believe I had a fax phone and cell phone.
See Exhibit 2.
To determine a person's domicile, the courts consider a number of factors including:
current residence, voting registration and other indicia of citizenship and domicile. Lew v. Moss,
797 F.2d 747, 749-750 (9th Cir. 1986). Where a good-faith intention is coupled with removal
evidenced by positive overt acts, then the change of residence and domicile is accomplished and
becomes effective. See Fla. Jur. 10, § 11; Bloomfield v. St. Petersburg Beach, 82 So.2d 365, 368
(Fla. 1955).
Thus, in their Notice Defendants attempted to distort the record, as they did when they
first submitted an affidavit in their initial motion to dismiss which stated falsely under oath that
Plaintiff Montgomery had not registered to vote. As a result, as Plaintiff Montgomery promised
in his Opposition the full transcript portions are now being provided, to eliminate any prejudice
to him and his rights, and so this Court will have a complete, undistorted record of the relevant
deposition testimony, which supplements the Plaintiff’s affidavits.
For these and other compelling reasons, Defendants’ Notice should be stricken and their
motion to dismiss should respectfully be denied
