Therefore, based on the new evidence, a 440.10 motion to Vacate Judgement has been filed in the Bethel Justice Court with a return date of May 13, 1998.
(This motion has never been decided upon by the Bethel town justice.)

The same evidence also reveals a shady chain of title and fraudulent filing of documents surrounding the last four transfers of the Woodstock site and a criminal conspiracy to defraud and deprive the public and the people of the State of New York of their rights to continue to assemble on the Woodstock site, which is sacred to them.*

This latest motion will be published on our website. So, check back.

NOTE: There are at least four people we know of who have spread ashes of loved ones on the Woodstock site and they all defend free assembly on the site.

Meanwhile, the background cause of this above mentioned action...

Six people, defending the absolute property right of the public to be on the Woodstock site, overnight, with a fire, set up tents on the Woodstock site in July of 1997. They were charged with trepass by persons and corporations, who alleged to be the owners of the Woodstock site,  because they wouldn't take down their tents. They were arrested by the State Police and prosecuted, on behalf of the people of the State of New York, by the Sullivan County District Attorney in the Bethel Town Court on September 29, 1997. All were found guilty of trespass and, at the request of the District Attorney, were then ordered, by the judge, not to go back on the property or they will be arrested and charged with contempt of court.
However, this doesn't apply to anyone else.

The case for appeal is assigned to Sullivan County Judge Frank Labuda.

Bethel Town Justice Albert Fimognari, who handled the trespass case, refused to pass "his" audio tapes of the trial on to Judge La Buda as part of the record on appeal.

A motion was then made to Judge La Buda by Richard Newberg, attorney for the defendants, to have the audio record of the trespass trial made part of the record on appeal.

Motion was denied by Judge La Buda, at the request of Sullivan County District Attorney Stephen Lungen, which means the tapes would not become part of the record. Not good. However, a copy of the written transcript of the tapes, submitted by Richard Newberg is filed in the appellate court record.

NOTE: The audio record of this trial is one of the pieces of evidence in  the federal class action case being prepared by the Woodstock Nation Foundation and others in order to:

defend, protect and preserve the rights of the people to continue to exercise their absolute property right, which has been established over a twenty year period from 1969 to 1989, through the public's exclusive continual use of the Woodstock site, without any "landowner's permission"

to protect the public's sovereign rights to freely assemble and experience liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

The plaintiffs in this action are those who have been, and/or continue to be, grievously and irreparably damaged by persons and corporations, acting under color of law, to unlawfully obstruct and prohibit the public's sovereign rights to travel to,  from, and/or assemble on, the Woodstock site, which is sacred to them and cannot be lawfully legislated, controlled or abolished by any government.
