Docket # 5
Response in Opposition Re Defendants 2nd Motion for Return of Property. By AUSA and filed Jan 2, 2008
AUSA Rose did not send this pleading and many others to Defendant pro se even though she certified to the court that she did. Clarkson complained about this at length.
The other pleadings were discovered by Clarkson and taken off PACER. Preparing this appendix, Appellant found a reference to this missing pleading on the docket sheet.
This court should ask Ms Rose for a copy of her pleading.
