NOTICE OF REMOVAL
TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA:
Defendants Roger C. Simmons, Esquire, Susan S. Eisner, Esquire, and Gordon
and Simmons (collectively, "removing defendants"), by and through their counsel, Bazelon &
Less, respectfully aver as follows:
1. On June 30, 1994, Edward W. Harker ("Harker") filed a complaint in this
Court in a matter entitled Edward W. Harker v. J. Nevin White. et aI., No. 1:94-CV-I034
(M,D. Pa.) ("the federal case"). The federal case has been assigned to Judge Rambo,
2. On July I, 1994, Harker filed a complaint in the Court of Common Pleas
of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania in a matter entitled Edward W. Harker v. J. Nevin White.
~, No. 94 Civil 2481 (C.C.P. Cumbo Cty.) ("the state case"), A !rue and correct copy of
I!ARKI!R/PDIIII/MNU
07121/94
I
the complaint filed in the Slate case is atlached hereto as Exhibit A. The only difference
between the state complaint and the federal complaint is that the latter contains an additional one-
sentence allegation regarding federal jurisdiction and venue, ~ Complaint in No. 1:94-CV-
1034 at 1 IS. Otherwise, the two complaints are identical.
3, On or about July 6 and 8. 1994. removing defendants received copies of
the state complaint. which copies had been sent to 131 West Patrick Street. Frederick. Maryland
21701 by certified mail.
4. The slate complaint that removing defendants received constitutes the initial
pleading setting forth the claim for relief upon which the Slate case is based, 28 U.S.C. ~~ 1331
& 1446(b),
5, The slate case is removable to this Court because:
a, In the state case. Harker alleges that defendants violated the federal
Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations ("RICO") Act. 18 U,S.C, ~ 1961 et seq., which is
a "law. . . of the United Slates." ~ Exhibit A '1 118-28; 28 U .S.C. ~ 1331.
b. A civil action alleging a violation of the RICO Act is one "arising
under" the laws of the United States. 28 U.S.C. ~ 1331; Lichtenber{:er v. Prudential-Bache
Securities. Inc.. 737 F. Supp, 43.44 (S.D. Tex. 1990) (RICO action is removable to federal
court) .
c, The federal district courts "have original jurisdiction of" all civil
actions arising under the laws of the United States. 28 U.S.C. ~ 1331.
d, A defendant may remove "any civil action brought in a State court"
of which the district courts of the United Slates have original jurisdiction. 28 U.S.C, Ii 1441(a).
2
,
.
e. Because the state case is a civil action brought in a State court, and
a civil action of which this Court has original jurisdiction, defendants may remove it to this
Court. Lichtenberl!er, 737 F. Supp, at 44.
6. As a general rule, where there is more than one defendant, all defendants
must consent to removal of a case from state court to federal court, Lewis v. Rel!o Co., 757
F.2d 66, 68 (3d Cir. 1985). However, this rule does not apply to defendants who "ha[ve] not
been served at the time the remaining defendants file their petition.. lll.. "In that situation, the
removal petition will be effective provided that it alleges that the defendants who did not join
in it were not served in the state procceding." 1.d.
7. All defendants but one have expressly consented to this removal. ~
Exhibit B attached hereto (written consents to removal).
8. The sole defendant whose consent has not been obtained is J. Nevin White,
Counsel for plaintiff has informed counsel for removing defendants that Mr. White has not been
served and is a fugitive. Under these circumstances, Mr. White's consent to removal is not
required, ~~, 757 F.2d at 68.
9. In accordance with 28 U.S.C. ~ 1446(b), this Notice of Removal has been
filed within thirty days after receipt by removing defendants, through service or otherwise, of
the initial pleading setting forth the claims for relief upon which the state case is based.
10. Written notice of the filing of this Notice of Removal will be promptly
given to all adverse parties. Moreover, a true and correct copy of this Notice of Removal will
be filed promptly with the Prothonotary of the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County.
3
.
WHEREFORE, defendants Roger C, Simmons, Esquire, Susan S, Eisner,
Esquire, and Gordon and Simmons, pray that this cause be and hereby is removed to this Court,
and that this Court accept jurisdiction of this action, and henceforth that this action be placed
on the docket of this Court for all further proceedings, as though the action had been originally
instituted in this Court.

Defendants Ronald S. Jones, Shari L. Jones, R.S Jones co.,

motion, defendants submit the following:
1. This action was commenced on July 1, 1994.
2. Defendants Ronald S. Jones, Shari L. Jones, R.S Jones
co., Inc. and Credit-Line Financial, Inc. received the Complaint by
certified mail on or about July 5, 1994.
3. Defendant Ronald S. Jones sought an extension of time in
which to answer the complaint from counsel for plaintiff on or
about July 20, 1994, believing that he needed additional time in
which to locate and engage competent counsel to represent him in
Pennsylvania and further believing that such an extension would be
granted since plaintiff had already agreed to an identical
extension for several other defendants.
4. By letter dated July 22, 1994, defendant Jones was
advised that Plaintiff refused to agree to such an extension for
defendants Ronald S. Jones, Shari L. Jones, R.S Jones co., Inc. and
Credit-Line Financial, Inc. despite his agreement to grant an
extension to other defendants.
5. Almost immediately upon being advised that plaintiff
would not agree to the requested extension, defendants Ronald S.
Jones, Shari L. Jones, R.B Jones Co., Inc. and Credit-Line
Financial, Inc. engaged Maryland counsel. Pennsylvania counsel was
retained on July 27, 1994.
6. On July 27, 1994, Counsel for defendants renewed
defendant Jones' request for an extension of time and was advised
on July 28, 1994, that plaintiff would not concur.
7. The Complaint consists of one hundred forty three (143)
paragraphs and five (5) counts.
8. Defendants and their counsel need additional time in
which to review and answer the Complaint because of its length and
complexity.
9. The grant of the requested extension will not delay
disposition of this matter since plaintiff has consented to
extensions of time until August 22, 1994, for several other

White Lumber Company, and certain real estate held in Mr. White's
individual name located in Centre and Juniata Counties.

28. On or about January 18, 1989, the Defendants, Roland S.
Jones and Benjamin V.R. Conlon, Esquire, met with Attorney Richard

purportedly entered into between a Portuguese corporation, Euro-
Ceramica, Inc., and J. Nevin White, transferring the lumber company

as possessing any assets, and all of its patrimony was sold by public
auction to the Fuderacao dos Industria1ias de Setuba1.
33. Plaintiff believes and therefore avers that at the time of
the alleged sale of stock, Euro-Ceramica was not in business, it had
an unbalanced financial situation due to late payments, and that it
was insolvent and unable to pay for the alleged sale of stock.
34. On November 15, 1989, The Honorable George Hoffer issued an
Order scheduling Hearings on the remanded divorce proceeding.
35. On November 16, 1989, at least three pieces of property were

.
40. On August 22, 1990, the supposed sale of the White Lumber
Company to Euro-Ceramica was revealed for the first time to Willa
White and her attorney.
41. In response, a petition for special Relief was filed by
Mrs. White's attorney, Richard Sne1baker, and a Rule was issued upon
J. Nevin White, J. Nevin White Lumber company, Inc., Roland S. Jones,
Credit Line Financial Corporation, and Euro-ceramica, returnable
October 31, 1990, to show cause why relief pursuant to the divorce
code should not be granted by the Court.
42. Subsequently, an Order was entered by the Court declaring
the various transactions described above as being fraudulent, revoking
the sale of the lumber business to Euro-Ceramica, voiding the real
estate transfers, imposing a constructive trust on all of J. Nevin
White's assets, authorizing the filing of liens and lis pendens,

affirming the fraudulent nature of the above-described transfers of
9
.
the business and real estate, and appointed Edward Harker as Receiver.
46. The Receiver, Edward harker, met with J. Nevin White to
discuss the implications of receivership and to begin his work.
Defendant White induced Mr. Harker from taking any action prior to the
fOllowing Monday, so that the Company's business would not be
interrupted.
47. On Monday, May 11, 1992, during the time when Edward Harker
had been induced to forebear from seizing company assets, J. Nevin
White filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the Middle District of
Pennsylvania. The document listed R. S. Jones as agent, and the
Defendant Conlon as counsel.
48. Roland S. Jones, on or about May 12, 1992, did utilize
telephone communications to threaten and attempt to intimidate
Plaintiff from performing his duties as Trustee by calling Plaintiff
at home and threatening that plaintiff refrain from performing his
duties.
49. Subsequently, Defendants White, Jones and Conlon hired and
consulted with Defendant Philpott and Defendant Auerbach concerning
this bankruptcy.
50. Edward Harker intervened in the bankruptcy, and together
with the U.S. Trustee, requested the appointment of a Trustee to
supersede the debtor in possession. The Defendant Auerbach appeared
on behalf of Euro-Ceramica, Objecting to the appointment of a Trustee.
51. On June 30, 1992, the bankruptcy Judge, The Honorable Robert
Woodside, dismissed the bankruptcy as filed in bad faith, and as an
10
.
attempt to evade the effect of state Court orders entered in
connection with White v. White.
52. In June, 1992, Defendant Conlon appealed, on White's behalf,
Judge Hoffer's decision appointing Edward Harker as Receiver.
53. On July 2, 1992, Jerry Philpott replaced Defendant Conlon
as counsel in order to perfect this interlocutory appeal.
54. On July 8, 1992, a second bankruptcy was filed in the Middle
District of Pennsylvania on behalf of the debtor, J. Nevin White
Lumber Company. This Chapter 11 bankruptcy listed the Defendant
Philpott as counsel. The Defendants Conlon and Auerbach later entered
appearances as counsel.
55. Roland S. Jones, Benjamin V.R. Conlon, Esquire, and Jerry
A. Philpott, Esquire knowingly concealed an asset of the J. Nevin
White Lumber Company, to wit: a federal condemnation proceeding
settled for $200,000.00 from Plaintiff and the United states
Bankruptcy Court. Defendants knowingly filed incomplete and
inaccurate statements with the Bankruptcy Court in order to conceal
said condemnation proceeding.
56. Roland S. Jones gave false and incomplete testimony under
oath during a bankruptcy proceeding, to wit: a 341 meeting held
before the United states Trustee on August 10, 1992. During said
meeting, regarding questions concerning assets, depreciation, and
values of real estate, Roland S. Jones willfully concealed the
aforesaid condemnation proceeding.
57. sometime thereafter, the Defendant Roland Jones issued a
11
.
"Company Update" to all employees of J. Nevin White Lumber Company,
specifically stating that the company had sought protection from
possible takeover by filing bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court,
but that nonetheless, the company was not having financial problems
and that the situation resulted from personal difficulties of
Mr. White that go back many years. Mr. Jones further stated, "I am
sure that some of you may wonder why the company is in bankruptcy if
there are not financial problems. As with many national corporations
throughout the country, bankruptcy is being used for a variety of
difficulties. Therefore, there is no reason to be concerned about the
ability of this company to meet its financial obligations."
58. Mr. Jones also stated, "The reason for seeking bankruptcy
had nothing to do with financial difficulties, but was taken to
prevent takeover by other parties, arising from a marriage settlement
dispute. " A copy of the company update is attached hereto as
Exhibit "A".
59. On or about August, 1992, Defendant Conlon filed a pro se
action to No. 92-1058 in the Federal District Court for the Middle
District of Pennsylvania against various defendants, including The
Honorable Robert J. Woodside, Magistrate J. Andrew Smyser, various
attorneys, and the First National Bank of Mifflintown, contending that
these defendants had conspired to prevent Mr. Conlon from practicing
law and receiving payment for professional services rendered, in
violation of the Racketeering, Influenced and Corrupt Organizations
Act, 18 U.S.C. ~1961, gt ~ (RICO), as well as 42 U.S.C. ~1983 and
12
.
11985.
60. Judge Woodside and Magistrate Smyser had been involved in
dismissAl of the first bankruptcy, denominated by the Court as filed
in bad faith.

a similar suit to No. 92-1151 against The Honorable George E. Hoffer,
Attorney Richard C. Sne1baker, the Receiver, Edward W. Harker, and
Attorney Robert L. o'Brien.
62. Defendant Roland S. Jones alleged that these Judges and
Attorneys had conspired to prevent Roland S. Jones and J. Nevin White
from doing business, through handing down allegedly fraudulent Orde~s
enforcing Willa White's claim for relief under the Divorce Code.
63. Both of these suits were dismissed as totally without basis
or merit by the Federal District Court for the Middle District of
Pennsylvania.
64. Additionally, Defendant Conlon was assessed Rule 11
sanctions by the United states District Judge william L. Standish for
filing a frivolous lawsuit.
65. The District Court declined to order similar sanctions
against Roland S. Jones because he is not an attorney, was acting pro
se, and the Court believed that he may have misunderstood the nature
of the laws involved.
66. The District Court did Order, however, that sanctions would
be entertained should he appeal the dismissal.
67. These RICO Complaints requested not only monetary damages,
13
.
but also injunctive relief, in an attempt to hamper the enforcement
of Court Orders relating to the marital dispute. They also
constituted an attempt to threaten and intimidate judicial officers
and attorneys, and to hinder the proper administration of justice.
68. On August 7, 1992, a Rule was issued on J. Nevin White to
show cause why the Orders of Court entered September 5, 1990 and
May 8, 1992 should not be enforced, and why he should not be held in
contempt of Court for failure to abide therewith. Rule was returnable
at a Hearing to be held August 26, 1992.
69. On August 27, 1992, the Rule was made absolute, J. Nevin
White was found to be in willful contempt, and J. Nevin White was
ordered to appear in Court on September 14, 1992, at 9:00 a.m. to
determine appropriate enforcement remedies and/or sanctions to ensure
compliance with the Orders of the Court.

dismissal of his first bankruptcy was also dismissed.

Defendant Philpott was dismissed.

was filed by Attorney Sne1baker, and on January 25, 1993 an Order was
entered designating various properties subject to the marital estate
to Mrs. White.
77. On April 7, 1993, a third bankruptcy was filed in Florida
by an Attorney Waldron on behalf of J. Nevin White individually.
Defendant Jones arranged and paid for said bankruptcy proceeding.
78. On April 7, 1993, at or about the same time as the third
bankruptcy was being filed, Defendant Auerbach appeared before
Bankruptcy Judge Woodside and stipulated to conditional dismissal of
the second bankruptcy. The Florida bankruptcy was not revealed to the
Court or Plaintiff at said time.
79. On April 8, 1993, the Order of Bankruptcy Judge Woodside was
entered.
80. On April 8, 1993, at 10:50 a.m., Defendants Jones and Conlon
appeared at the Plaintiff's office and served upon Plaintiff a notice
of the Florida bankruptcy. Defendant Conlon stated that the Florida
bankruptcy nullified Judge Woodside's Order and threatened legal
action against Plaintiff if he sought to enforce said Order or to
seize corporate assets, records or funds.
81. On April 8, 1993, Judge Hoffer ordered Plaintiff to seize
the corporate bank accounts at Second National Bank and Dean witter

83. On April 16, 1993, the Detendant Conlon phoned the Second
National Bank in Maryland attempting to interfere with the transfers
of the funds to Edward Harker by asserting a stay based upon the
Florida bankruptcy. Both Defendants Conlon and Jones demanded that
the bank accounts be released to Jones.
84. On April 16, 1993, the Honorable Robert J. Woodside, Chief
Bankruptcy Judge for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, filed his
Order and Opinion dismissing the bankruptcy of J. Nevin White Lumber
Company, Inc., specifically finding that the Petition was filed in bad
faith and that the filing represented another attempt by J. Nevin
White to delay having his wife, who has serious medical problems, from
receiving property to which she was entitled. The Court further
ordered that no bankruptcy could be initiated by the J. Nevin White
Lumber Company in this or any other jurisdiction for a period of not
less than 180 days.
85. On May 4, 1993, the attorney who had filed the Chapter 13
bankruptcy in Florida, Edward J. Waldron, withdrew the bankruptcy
rather than risk sanctions requested by Plaintiff.
86. On or about May 13, 1993, the Defendant R.S. Jones was held
in contempt by Order of the Honorable George Hoffer, the Court finding
that he had withdrawn $271,000.00 from Juniata Bank and transferred
to money to Dean witter Reynolds in New York City, contrary to
16
specific Court Order. Judge Hoffer ordered that Jones be jailed until
he purged himself of his contempt.
87. On May 14, 1993, Jones was released from prison because the
then-existing bank balances were returned.
88. On May 19, 1993, a permanent injunction was issued against
Roland Jones, enjoining him from interfering with the actions ot

a declaratory judgment action in the United states District Court for
the Middle District of Pennsylvania. Euro-Ceramica, Inc. was
supposedly represented by Defendants simmons and Eisner of Defendant
Gordon & Simmons.
92. The relief requested in this litigation was an Order
declaring that Euro-Ceramica was the appropriate owner of J. Nevin
White Lumber Company, although the sale to Euro-Ceramica had already
been declared a fraud by Judge Hoffer.
93. On October 18, 1993, Edward Harker moved to employ special
counsel to aid him in his Receivership activities.
94. On December 2, 1993, another Petition for special Relief was
filed by Willa White, through her Attorney Richard Sne1baker, and on
January 5, 1994, Edward Harker received the Court's authority to

R. S. Jones, Inc. through March 16, 1993.
97. An exhibit detailing the dates and particulars of the
monetary transfers is attached hereto as Exhibit "B".
98. Before Edward Harker received authority from the Court to
seize the company's assets, it had been run in J. Nevin White's
absence through messages conveyed to personnel by Roland Jones, Shari
Jones, and J. Nevin White. Additionally, Roland Jones would visit
from time to time.
99. Once Edward Harker assumed operation of the business, he
discovered that vast amounts of forest land had been clear cut by
Jones and White, thereby greatly depreciating the value of property
subject to which Willa White's equitable lien.

Esquire knowingly utilized R. S. Jones co., Inc., to divert monies
from the Debtor-in-Possession during a pending bankruptcy proceeding
and did receive professional fees without application to the
Bankruptcy Court or authorization for payment thereof.
116. As a result of the Defendants' conduct, substantial assets
which once comprised the J. Nevin White Lumber Company, and assets
otherwise part of the White marital estate, have been dissipated,
fraudulently transferred in interstate commerce, or destroyed,
drastically reducing the property available to the Receiver, Edward
W. Harker, to recover on behalf of Willa White. Further, the multiple
bankruptcies and spurious litigations have seriously interfered with
the Receiver's ability to run the Lumber Company and maintain it as
a financially ~iab1e entity.
117. Further, the multiple, vexatious actions and appeals
initiated and furthered by the various Defendants required the
expenditure of substantial monies to defend, to the detriment of
21
assets held in Receivership for the benefit of Willa White.

118. Paragraphs 1 through 117 are incorporated herein by
reference.
119. Defendants J. Nevin White, Roland S. Jones, R. S. Jones,
Inc. and Benjamin V.R. Conlon, Esquire, initially conspired to create
and direct an enterprise calculated to deprive Willa White, and later
Edward Harker, as Receiver, of money or property and business assets
to which they were entitled pursuant to Orders of the Court of Common
Pleas, cumberland County, Pennsylvania, as affirmed by the Superior
Court of Pennsylvania.
120. This enterprise was directed primarily by Roland S. Jones,
who coordinated a pattern of activity designed to frustrate
enforcement of the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and in
particular, the Orders of the Court of Common Pleas, CUmberland
County, through initiation of a series of four fraudulent
bankruptcies: by taking multiple frivolous appeals of Court Orders:
22
.
by utilizing the delay resultant from said actions to dissipate assets
and enrich themselves at the expense of marital assets: by motivating
a declaratory judgment purportedly on behalf of Euro-Ceramica, a non-
viable shell corporation: and by initiating two bad faith RICO suits
against Judges, officers of the Court, and the Receiver, Edward
Harker, as described above, in an attempt to hamper their ability to
administer the law.
121. Defendants Jones, Conlon, White and R.S. Jones Co., Inc.
were aided in their racketeering enterprise by the Defendant attorneys
who conspired with Defendants Jones, Conlon, White and R.S. Jones Co.,
Inc. to file and further fraudulent, sham litigations as described
above, when they knew or should have known the fraudulent purpose of
these various litigations.
122. Defendant Jones, Conlon and White were further aided in
their racketeering enterprise through the conduct and use of two
corporations, R. S. Jones, Inc. and credit-Line Financial, Inc., as
vehicles to effect the fraudulent transfer of assets out of
Pennsylvania. R. S. Jones Co., Inc., also initiated the final
bankruptcy, which it knew was improperly filed in Vermont.
123. Defendant Jones, Conlon, White and R. S. Jones Co., Inc.
were also aided in their racketeering enterprise through the action
of Shari Jones, who conspired with them to effect the fraudulent
transfer of assets subject to the orders of the Court of Common Pleas,
cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
124. The Defendants utilized the United States mail and the
23
,.
.
telephone wires to file pleadings, and make litigation-related
communications in connection with the four fraudulent bankruptcies,
two sham RICO actions, sham Federal declaratory judgment action, and
spurious appeals, as described above.
125. Defendants Jones, Conlon, Auerbach, Faris and O'Brien
conspired to fraudulently allege the residence of J. Nevin White as
Vergennes, Vermont, in order to improperly invoke and pursue
bankruptcy in said District while utilizing the mails and mail drops
to conceal the whereabouts of J. Nevin White.
126. The overall purpose of the enterprise described above was
to illegally frustrate enforcement of the lawful orders of the Court
of Common Pleas, cumberland County, as affirmed by the Superior Court
of Pennsylvania, thereby depriving the Receiver, Edward Harker, of the
ability to recover assets of the J. Nevin White Lumber Co., Inc., and
the White marital estate, for the benefit of willa White, and
hampering the R~ceiver's ability to effectively run the Lumber
Company.
127. The acts of these Defendants, described above, constitute
violations of laws, and conspiracy to violate laws which include, but
not limited, to the following:
a. bankruptcy fraud pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 5152:
b. mail fraud pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 51341:
c. wire fraud pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 51343:
d. obstruction of justice pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 51503:
e. violation of the Hobbs Act, 18 U.S.C. 51951:
24
f. interstate transportation in aid of racketeerinq
pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 11952:
q. extortion pursuant to 18 Pa.C.S.A. 139231
h. interstate transportation of money taken by fraud,
18 U.S.C. 12314: and
i. interstate transportation of stolen or converted money
or property, 18 U.S.C. 12315.
128. As a result of this enterprise, the Plaintiff Edward Harker,
Receiver, has been hampered in his ability to receive White marital
estate assets, and to run the Lumber company so that it remained
financially viable.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays that judgment be entered aqainst the
Defendants in an amount equal to three times the described losses,
which is in excess of Twenty Thousand ($20,000.00) Dollars, together
with injunctive relief, and any other appropriate relief permitted by
law.

Philpott, Simmons, Eisner, Faris, O'Brien, Gordon & simmons, Wilson,
Powell, Lang and Faris, and Auerbach all initiated actions, or acted
as counsel in connection with actions, as described above, which were
pursued not for the purpose of obtaining the relief requested, but
solely to prevent the proper enforcement of Orders of the Court of
Common Pleas, Cumberland County.
131. The Defendant attorneys knew or should have known of the
true purpose of these actions.
132. More particularly, these actions were brought in order to
provide J. Nevin White and his co-conspirators with the opportunity
to transfer assets of the J. Nevin White Lumber Company and the
marital estate, to individuals, companies, and places beyond the reach
of the Court of Common Pleas, Willa White, or the Receiver, Edward
Harker.

133. As a result of this abuse of process, the Receiver, Edward
Harker, has sustained damages as enumerated more particularly above.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays that judgment be entered against the
Defendants in an amount in excess of Twenty Thousand ($20,000.00)
Dollars, exclusive of interest and costs, and in excess of any
jurisdictional amount requiring compulsory arbitration.

134. Paragraphs 1 through 133 above are incorporated herein as

135. The Defendants made representations to the Federal District
Bankruptcy Courts for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, and to the
Court appointed Receiver, Edward Harker, as well as the Court of
Common Pleas, cumberland County, in pleadings and otherwise which they
knew or should have known were false, including, but not limited to
the following:
a. that J. Nevin White and the J. Nevin White Lumber
Company were legally entitled to protection of the
27
bankruptcy laws and the bankruptcy courts of the
united states,
b. that the various parties sued pursuant to the two RICO
actions filed by the Defendants Conlon and Jones were
engaged in a racketeering enterprise when it was
obvious and beyond dispute that they were doing
nothing more than attempting to enforce lawfully
entered Court orders,
c. in contending that Euro-Ceramica, Inc. is a legitimate
purchaser for value of the J. Nevin White Lumber
company, when they knew that the only purpose of the
"sale" was to frustrate the enforcement of law, by
permitting the installation of R.S. Jones as
President, thus allowing Mr. Jones to dissipate the
company's assets while creating the appearance that J.
Nevin White was uninvolved:
d. that J. Nevin White resided in the District of Vermont
at Vergennes, Vermont: and
e. in failing to reveal in the J. Nevin White bankruptcy
a pending condemnation proceeding settled for
$200,000.00.
136. As a result of these fraudulent representations, the
Receiver, Edward Harker, has been prevented from recovering assets
belonging to the J. Nevin White Lumber Company, Inc., and the marital
estate, and has been hampered in his efforts to effectively run the

in particular to permit the illegal dissipation of assets to which

of the malicious motives involved in initiating these actions.
