Colorado Bribery, Cover-up and Racketeering

Greetings,

My name is Halena Lewis. I can be reached c/o 303-433-3573 or at
HalenLewis3@aol.com

This is a letter of complaint, a Petition for Redress of grievances and a
Petition to call for an investigation/hearing into the fraud, Racketeering,
obstruction of Justice, suppression of evidence, cover-up and violation 
of my rights under the U.S. and Colorado Constitutions, State and Federal 
Laws, and to hold all accountable.

I have documented evidence that Summit County District Court Judges David 
R. Lass; Richard Hart; Chief Judge Terry Ruckriegle; Water Court Division V
Judges Daniel Petre; Thomas Ossola; Chief Judge T. Peter Craven and
Attorneys Alison Maynard, Victor F. Boog, Jefferson Houpt, Glenn Porzak,
Kristen Moseley and others, did conspire together to steal approximately 
20 million in land and water rights.
A Brief Case Background

In 1980, a developer/owner of the approximately 6,000 acre Spring 
Creek Ranch in Summit County, Colorado, recorded most of the water rights (175
acre feet), in the Spring Creek Ranch Planned Unit Development Agreement,
(Phase 1). Numerous wells were drilled on the 6,000 acres with little or 
no success. Only one well (the Community Well), proved to be a viable source 
of water producing approx. 100gpm. Phase 1's water rights were adjudicated 
in Water Court Division 5 with a Decree issued in 1982.

In the mid 80's the developer/owner filed for bankruptcy and
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (Met Life), which held the note,
foreclosed on the property.

In 1989, a buyer was found in Nelson and Catherine Lane for all of
Spring Creek Ranch excluding Phase 1, ( approx. 5,700 acres and minimal
water rights not associated with Phase 1). Neither Met Life nor the Lanes
wanted to be bound by any responsibilities, duties or obligations of the
previous developer/owners' agreements. An agreement (1989 Settlement
Agreement), was drawn up and signed by all removing and releasing Met 
Life and the Lanes from all obligations, etc., of the previous developer/owner
including the adjudicated water rights. Prior to the signing of the
Settlement Agreement the Lanes and their attorney were informed that 
there were no other adequate water sources on Spring Creek Ranch except for the
community well and water rights previously adjudicated for Phase 1. The
Lanes were asked if they wanted to share in those water rights. They
refused. The Lanes then rezoned their 5,700 acre ranch from the Spring 
Creek Ranch PUD to A-1 agricultural and went on to drill numerous wells without
success.

Realizing they were only entitled to their minimum water right which
proved to be insufficient, the Lanes' then pursued Phase 1's water 
rights. The nine-year-old Community Well was declared unpermitted and illegal by
State and Division water engineers despite the 1982 Water Decree stating
otherwise, and we (Phase 1 homeowners) were told we had to apply for 
another well permit. We were also forced to obtain a temporary supply plan from 
the Bureau of Reclamation, as the State threatened they would Order that 
cement be poured into the Community Well and have it shut down.

1993 was the start of numerous Addendums to the 1989 Settlement
Agreement. I refused to sign as it would forfeit all of my and Phase 1's
water rights and ownership to the Lane's. We were again threatened by 
State and Division water engineers to sign the Addendums or have our well shut
down. I still refused to sign. Seeing they were getting nowhere year 
after year with their threats, intimidation and extortion to have the 
Addendum's signed, a phony corporation was formed in 1997. Along with the phony
corporation, a phony Board of Directors (BOD) and Officers were elected. 
The threats, intimidation and extortion to sign numerous addendums to the 
1989 Settlement Agreement now doubled, coming from the phony Board of 
Directors as well as the State. I refused to sign.

The Lanes fraudulently sold their portion of Spring Creek Ranch with
Phase 1's water rights to developer buddies in April 1999 and the 5,700 
acre ranch became Shadow Creek Ranch. When I refused to acknowledge the phony
corporation and the BOD's authority to force me to sign the Addendum's, 
the phony BOD's filed a lawsuit against me in October 1999.

Initially, the lawsuit asked that the BOD's be recognized as 
legitimate and with power and authority to act. The threats, intimidation and 
extortion continued, and when the phony BOD's realized that they were not any more
successful in getting the Addendums signed, backdated counterclaims
involving the water rights were interjected into the lawsuit. Because 
Shadow Creek Ranch developers had by then been given permission to develop 
Shadow Creek on stolen water rights, and by my continual objections and 
complaints to the Summit County Commissioners, Water Court and others, a quiet 
title action regarding the water rights was filed on my behalf without my
knowledge or consent. Judge Lass would then grant me three extensions of
time without my asking for them in which to serve the quiet title suit. I
refused, and it was eventually dismissed with a judgment against me for
attorney fees.

To sum up, Judge David R. Lass ignored, altered and/or fabricated,
evidence and testimony in his January 2002, and subsequent rulings. 
Without jurisdiction Judge Lass ruled the phony corporation and its BOD's power 
and authority to act was legal; ruled that my and Phase 1's adjudicated water
rights were owned by the Lanes and Shadow Creek Ranch; ruled that I must
sign the Addendum to the 1989 Settlement Agreement when asked to do so by
the phony BOD's. I again refused. Judge Lass then signed an Order 
directing the Court Clerk to sign for me. In their effort to cover up their fraud 
in issuing two permits to Shadow Creek in 2000, the Water Court accepted 
Judge Lass' ruling and the fraudulent Addendum to the 1989 Settlement 
Agreement. 

The phony BOD's then assessed me to pay for their attorney's fees. In 
2004 Judge David R. Lass ordered the sale of my property (45 acres), at 
auction to pay the BOD's attorney Victor F. Boog. Attorney Victor F. Boog bought 
the 45 acres for approx. $10,000. It is worth $3,000,000.00 to $5,000,000.00.

U.S. Constitution violations
Article VI(2)(3) and 1st, 5th and 14th Amendments

Colorado Constitution Bill of Rights violations
Article II Sections 3, 6, 10, 24 and 25.

I filed numerous complaints with: the Colorado Attorney Regulation 
Counsel; the Colorado Commission on Judicial Discipline; District Attorney Michael
Goodbee (appointed Deputy Attorney General for Criminal Justice); 
District Attorney Mark Hurlbert; Sheriff Joe Morales (appointed Executive Director 
of the State Department of Public Safety); Attorney General Ken Salazar, 
(now U.S. Senator Ken Salazar); U.S. Attorney General John Suthers and 
currently Attorney General John Suthers; U.S. Attorney General William Leone; 
Denver FBI; CBI; Summit County, County Commissioners Gary Lindstrom, Bill 
Wallace and Tom Long (Gary Lindstrom is now a State Representative); Summit 
County, County Attorney Jeff Huntley; Senator Joan Fitz-Gerald; the Colorado 
House and Senate Judiciary Committee Members; U.S. Senator Wayne Allard; 
Governor Bill Owens; District 56 State Representative Carl Miller (appointed to
Public Utilities Commission) and more.

I was ignored by most. I received the following replies only after
considerable pressure on the regulatory agencies, and Summit County 
District Attorneys. The evidence taken from court records was minimized as
"thoughts," or the usual canned responses of "get an attorney," "we do 
not have the authority to act on your complaints," and "we found no basis for
formal disciplinary proceedings." From some members of the Colorado House
and Senate Judiciary Commission the following: "get an attorney," "if you
can prove money exchanged hands, then you have a case," and my personal
favorite, "you may be viewed as a disgruntled litigant."

For the record, I hired four attorneys. All agreed that I had a good case
against fraud, theft, legal corruption, etc. I've spent more than
$150,000.00 paying these attorneys to defend my property, rights and
ownership. My attorneys worked for the opposition instead. This can be
verified by Motions and Pleadings filed on my behalf without my knowledge 
or consent, and by arguments presented on my behalf which served to support 
the opposition's position which is contrary to recorded documents, the water
court decree and other evidence.

As to the bribes, the Colorado Constitution at Article XII Section 7 
defines bribery thus: Section 7. Bribery corrupt solicitation. (1) Any person who
directly or indirectly offers, gives, or promises any money or thing of
value or privilege to any member of the general assembly or to any other
public officer in the executive or judicial department of the state
government to influence him in performance of any of his public or 
official powers or duties is guilty of bribery and subject to such punishment 
thereof as may be prescribed by law.

The evidence that is being suppressed will confirm that the above listed
judges and attorneys were either paid or promised by proving unjust
enrichment and that a guaranteed outcome favorable to the plaintiff's, 
and State and County officials, was negotiated before the first fraudulent
lawsuit was even filed.

The evidence that is being suppressed will confirm bribery in that the
above-named judges and attorneys have given themselves privileges and
protections of violating the above listed Laws, and then extended those
privileges and protections to co-conspirators.

The above violations of Laws committed by the above listed judges,
attorneys, etc., combined with the suppression of documented evidence 
makes obvious that I cannot be a "disgruntled litigant" but rather a victim of
legal abuse, fraud and corruption.

The evidence that is being suppressed will further expose the involvement 
of other State and Summit County officials, as well as attorneys in this
pattern of fraud and Racketeering.

An Appeal regarding the water rights case was filed with the Colorado
Supreme Court of which I am a party. The case is currently active. I 
filed numerous complaints with the Colorado Supreme Court and all were stricken
without reason.

The fraud and Racketeering in this case have been ongoing since 1989. In 
the Water Court since 1993. The Laws recognize this fraud and Racketeering as
Organized Crime. Organized Crime drains local and national economies. The
fraud and Racketeering in this case amounts to millions of dollars 
already drained from Colorado taxpayers.

I have found our Democratic process to be oppressive and 
unconstitutional. This sham Democracy allows the peoples government to financially 
devastate, isolate, label and silence those who challenge them. This letter of
Complaint and Petition will now be sent to all State and U.S. Senators, 
and all State and U.S. Representatives. All FBI offices' local and national 
as well as all media local, national and international. I believe there are
still some within our Government and elsewhere who have the courage and
integrity to stop these domestic terrorists, and hold them accountable. I 
am asking for your help.

Again, I can be reached c/o 303-433-3573 or HalenLewis3@aol.com

Thank-you,
Halena Lewis
