: ______________ IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES

Douglas Vogt, Petitioner, vs. United States District Court, Western District of Washington, Respondent.

Petition for Writ of Certiorari to the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington and the United States Circuit Court for the Ninth Circuit

Petitioners Motions to: (i) Expedite and (ii) Seal Affidavit

Douglas Vogt Petitioner 12819 S.E. 38th Street Suite 115 Bellevue, WA 98006 425-643-1131

Petitioner, Douglas Vogt, respectfully requests that this Court: (i) expedite its consideration of the petition for a writ of certiorari in this case and (ii) seal the attached affidavit of Douglas Vogt which demonstrates the forgery of the Certificate of Live Birth of Barack Hussein Obama. I. MOTION TO EXPEDITE It states the obvious to say that this is a case of the utmost national importance and urgency involving the Constitutions most fundamental rights as exercised in the Nations most important election. It is imperative that the United States Supreme Court hear Petitioners claim as soon as practicable. This Courts expedited consideration of the petition for writ of certiorari is warranted in order to ensure that Vogts allegations related to the ineligibility of Barack Hussein Obama, II, to be President be promptly heard by the body Constitutionally designated and empowered to initially investigate and then determine that question, to wit, a Federal Grand Jury. Needless to say, if Vogt is correct, the implications are staggering. If Vogt is wrong, then the Grand Jury can make that informed determination and no harm has occurred save the minimal trouble occasioned by those public and private record custodians who would be compelled to promptly respond to the Grand Jurys subpoenas duces tecum. Those subpoenas would seek solely to compel production of records related to Barack Hussein Obama, II from: (i) the Hawaiian Department of Health (ii) U.S. Center for Disease Control, Department of Vital Statistics, (iii) Occidental College, (iv) Columbia University, (v) Harvard Law School, (vi) the Social Security Administration, (vii) the Selective Service Administration, and (viii) the Law Firm of Perkins Coie. Should this Court grant the petition for certiorari on an expedited basis, an expedited briefing schedule is necessary for the same reasons that warrant expedited consideration of the certiorari petition. This Court has previously granted expedited treatment of cases involving substantial 1

questions of national importance. See, e.g., Dames & Moore v. Regan, 453 U.S. 654 (1981); United States v. Nixon, 418 U.S. 683 (1974); Youngstown Co. v. Sawyer, 343 U.S. 579 (1952); Ex parte Quirin, 317 U.S. 1 (1942). The importance of this case is at least equal to, if not greater than, those landmark decisions. The Presidency and the stability of our democratic process will be in dire jeopardy if this Court does not act soon. Accordingly, Petitioner respectfully requests that Respondent and any amicus curiae should be directed to file responses to the Petition on an expedited basis. Likewise, if certiorari is granted, Petitioner respectfully requests that opening briefs of both parties, together with any amicus curiae briefs and any reply briefs should be set to be filed on an expedited basis. For purposes of this motion, Petitioner waives the 10-day period provided for in this Courts Rule 15.5 between the filing of a brief in opposition and the distribution of the petition and other materials to the Court. Should certiorari be granted, Petitioner is ready to prepare his merits brief on whatever schedule the Court deems appropriate in order to have the matter calendared, argued and decided this Term. WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests that this Court expedite consideration of the Petition for a Writ of Certiorari and set an expedited schedule for briefing and argument. II. MOTION TO FILE UNDER SEAL Pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 32, Vogt files two attached affidavits. First, an extensive Public Affidavit detailing the overwhelming forensic evidence pointing to the forgery of Barack Hussein Obamas certificates of live birth (COLBs). Second a Sealed Affidavit which identifies the John and Jane Does who were involved in the creation of the forged COLBs and how they created their forgeries. Both documents are formed part of the evidence taken in the Courts below 2

and thus are necessarily brought to this Court so a full and fair review may be had. As to the Sealed Affidavit, Vogt respectfully requests this Court continue to keep that affidavit sealed from public view. Vogt acknowledges that there is a strong presumption against sealing documents that are filed in court proceedings. Hagestad v. Tragesser, 49 F. 3rd 1430, 1434 (9th Cir. 1995). That presumption may be overcome only by an overriding right or interest based on findings that closure is essential to preserve higher values . . . Oregonian Publishing Co. v. United States District Court (Oregon), 920 F2d 1462, 1465 (9th Cir. 1990). Further, the party seeking to seal all or part of a document must articulate compelling reasons supported by specific factual findings. Kamakana v. City and County of Honolulu, 447 F3d 1172, 1178-79 (9th Cir. 2006). Accord: Publicker Indus., Inc. v. Cohen, 733 F.2d 1059, 1073 (3rd Cir. 1984)(The presumption of openness under the First Amendment is even stronger than the common-law presumption and can be overcome only by showing an overriding interest based on findings that closure is essential to preserve higher values and is narrowly tailored to serve that interest.). Here, Vogt offers two compelling reasons to keep sealed his Sealed Affidavit. A. THE GRAND JURY PROCEEDING REQUIRES SECRECY

The secret nature of the Grand Jury proceeding is well established. We consistently have recognized that the proper functioning of our grand jury system depends upon the secrecy of grand jury proceedings. Douglas Oil Co. of Cal. v. Petrol Stops Northwest, 441 U.S. 211 (1979). Here, Vogts sealed affidavit reveals the names of those involved in the preparation of Barack Hussein Obamas forged COLB. To publicly reveal that information at this time would undermine the rationale for that secrecy. As detailed in Douglas Oil Co of Cal.: First, if preindictment proceedings were made public, many 3

prospective witnesses would be hesitant to come forward voluntarily, knowing that those against whom they testify would be aware of that testimony. Moreover, witnesses who appeared before the grand jury would be less likely to testify fully and frankly, as they would be open to retribution as well as to inducements. There also would be the risk that those about to be indicted would flee, or would try to influence individual grand jurors to vote against indictment. Finally, by preserving the secrecy of the proceedings, we assure that persons who are accused but exonerated by the grand jury will not be held up to public ridicule. For all of these reasons, courts have been reluctant to lift unnecessarily the veil of secrecy from the grand jury. Id. Therefore as Vogts Sealed Affidavit relates to a potential grand jury investigation, it is inappropriate to reveal that affidavit. B. EVIDENCE COULD EASILY BE SPOILED

The evidence of forgery of the COLBs is largely contained in computer files resident on the conspirators computers. If the contents of Vogts Sealed Affidavit is revealed, those conspirators will have the time to erase such evidence thereby hampering their prosecution. As such, to refuse to seal Vogts Sealed Affidavit would be to directly assist those who have perpetrated this fraud upon the Citizens of the United States. WHEREFORE, Vogt respectfully requests an order sealing his Sealed Affidavit from public view.

Certificate of Service I HEREBY CERTIFY that a true and accurate copy of foregoing was served by U.S. First Class Mail upon the Honorable Judge James L. Robart, U.S. District Court, 700 Stewart Street, Suite 2310, Seattle, WA 98101 this ___ day of March, 2014. Douglas Vogt Petitioner 12819 S.E. 38th Street Suite 115 Bellevue, WA 98006 425-643-1131
