INTERLOCUTORY APPEAL FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF


,A.ND REQUEST FOR PROCEDURAL ORDER
(FROM CRIME VICTIM \ITTH PFH COMPLAINT
ONAPPEAL TO THE LAW COURT)
The Plaintiff asserts criminal threatening

of the building in which

same o\

- including harassment -

by the alleged owner

ner conspired to restrain him via organized Federal housing

fraud until his recent (February 6,2010) escape to Waterville, Maine. Irrespective of the ultimate
determination of the harassment definition

- the matter now before the Law Court -

the plaintiff

asserts that an upstanding Court would eventually find the Defendant to have participated in an

illegal eviction as described in 14 MRSA $ 6014. Additionally, the apartment's waranty of


habitability is being violated by housing fraud and criminal stalking, rendering it uninhabitable to
the Plaintiff as conditions have forced him to flee both its premises and the City of Gardiner.

March 6,2010lMaine Supreme Judicial Court: DocketNo. KEN-10-5g

Despite said conditions, the Defendant continues to require the Plaintiffto pay excessive

"rent" (i.e., extortion), violating Federai housing code; if he does not pay such a monthly sum
which has heretofore kept him restrained at the scene of 235 Water Street

he will not be

permitted to maintain property rights or protect the contents of his apartment: police harassment

would entail during a forcible entry and detainer action during a period of time in which the
Plaintiff remains a victim of police sexual assault, a criminal act concealed by the Augusta police
Department in concert u,ith the Augusta Housing Authority (shockingly, the AHA is the same
agency conducting the embezzlement portion of the housing fraud in question). This financial

exploitation prevents him from successful participation in this action


as the ongoing embezzlement and extortion

as both Laurie Connelly and Cluis Vallee (of Vallee Real Estate)

insist upon engaging in on-site harassment of the Plaintiff in violation of both his Federal and
State disability rights

N4r. Blackhouse is

now forced to rent two residences (for a total of

$875/mo.) while limited to an $852 monthly SSDI income. As a result of organized Federal
housing fraud, he cannot afford postage stamps or the basic means to participate in a pro se
protective action during a period of time in which criminal activity is going unaddressed by both
the District Attorney and the Office of the Maine Attorney General.

March 6,2010 | Maine Sdpreme Judicial Court: Docket No. KEN- l0-58

The Plaintiff now notes for the Court that the entire array of criminal activity is too
complex to elucidate in this appeal. However, the Court is advised that evidence of wrongdoing

is manifest upon simple examination of various records generated by both Laurie Connelly and
other entities attached to her organizatiofl, e.g., the Portland Housing Authority has consistently
refused to reinstate the Plaintiffs Section 8 housing choice subsidy despite its expiration having
occurred as a direct result of a violation of his disability rights; separately, Mr. Blackhouse has

been illegally denied transitional housing assistance via various agencies' faulty rendering

of

Federal homelessness definitions; etc.

CURRENT DISPOSITION OF THIS ACTION

As Mr. Blackhouse has been required to file pro se, he now entreats the Court to
undertake any communication with the Defendants on his behalf. The Plaintiff is neither a
prosecutor nor a professional attomey and without such credentials, cannot evaluate any material

he distributes to the Defendants for its potential relevance to any criminal investisation now
necessary relative to the behaviors or business operations of the Connellys and their various
associates.

Additionally, the Plaintiff is a victim of sexual assault by an Augusta police officer and
notes that his status as such was mentioned in the PFH complaint he filed in District Court. The

docket listing generated by District Court in Augusta indicates that the lower court did not
distribute the full information to the Connellys, a decision which might have been informed by
the Plaintiffs safety and privacy relative to the assault.

It is almost impossible to discem

any

charges now before the Court to be entirely distinct from criminal activity conducted by the TLC

Properties, Vallee Property Management, and the various successive o\\mers

of the building

participating in the human traffrcking ring already suffrciently described to the Maine Human
Rights Commission by Mr. Blackhouse.

As stated in the original Notice of Appeal


appropriate for a formal brief

in which the Plaintiffincluded material more

Mr. Blackhouse was kidnapped and permanently disabled in

2002. Prior to this, he was the witness to

and victim of

large-scale filancial crimes which

cuiminated in a series of criminal hospitalizations. The Plaintiff adds that he is presently the
target of a reprisal kidnapping conspiracy organized between a medical crime syndicate and the
Augusta Police Department. The Gardiner Police Department refused to assist Mr. Blackhouse in

this matter, and a GA administrator conspired to deprive him of necessary, State-mandated


benefits to make him more vulnerable to confinement and abuse.

In a letter to the Consurner Affails Division of the Public Utilities Commission,

the

Plaintiffprovided the following synopsis of his victimization:

INJUNCTIVE REMEDY SOUGHT


As Mr. Blackhouse is currently a crime victim in flight from harassment

and as such

cannot file the brief for Docket No. Ken-10-58 (Maine Supreme Court) pro se without fixed
housing, adequate personal transportation, and rights afforded other citizens, he entreats the
Court to:

assistance to the Plaintiff; etc.).

Multiple other necessary injunctive measures are emergently necessary but the details are

not listed herein because of time and filing restraints (the immediate. permanent closure of
Maine Medical Center, the Augusta Housing Authority, etc.).
The Plaintiff requests that any compensatory and recuperative awards and orders that arc

not immediately distributed by the Court after examination of this interlocutory appeal

are

administered instead through the FBI and/or the US Attorney (e.g., by the US Attorney's
victim/witness coordinator). He notes again that some forms of compensation are more readily

distributable than others and,

if

compensation

is not immediately available from the

Defendant(s), he entreats the Court to order money and other forms of support to be delivered by

the various State or municipal agencies who have colluded to prevent him from receiving
sufftcient crime-related assistance.
He further notes that while Adult Protective Services has the mandate to order the various

violating agencies to provide restitution (e.g., the immediate restoration of his housing subsidy)

via direct intervention in such matters through the Courts, the Plaintiff has not been able to
