What reasons did they give?
I have spent an enormous amount of time and efforts writing the court,
faxing the court and calling the court without getting any straight 
answers. They have not sent me any court orders either by mail or by fax.
Please call the court at 303-441-3750 fax 303-441-4750 and find out
specific what the court finds lacking so that I timely can ammend the 
appeal.

On Friday the 3rd of March a clerk finally mentioned to me that they
still needed the power of attorney and the filing fee, and I
told her that I had wired the money and that I was doing my best
to get them a copy of the several year old power of attorney
from other sources in Colorado, since all my copies are at the house
in Nederland and I don't have any copy here in Oslo.
(I was deported with just the clothes on my back, and my mother was
permitted to bring a suitcase or two thus all pertinent files
are still at the house in Boulder, the INS certainly makes it harder
to defend one's rights.) If anyone can assist then that would be welcome.
 
My mother can not afford to hire an attorney, and 
if the court refuses to appoint an attorney to represent her, refuses 
to let me represent her and insists that she files the paper work 
herself, then her mental illness should at least toll her deadline
for filing an appeal.
But what good does it do to file an appeal when she gets out of the
hospital in a few months, if the town cremates my 
grand father in the mean time, or fines my mother and takes the house 
for her non compliance with the court order that banned cryonics.
Never mind that she couldn't afford a lawyer and was mentally ill and 
unable to represent herself when she got convicted 
of having my grand father in cryonic suspension in the first place,
and that the Nederland court failed to appoint an attorney to represent her.
She didn't even have the wherewithall to read the paperwork served on her in 
the case and hadn't read this. She had lost all paperwork by the time
she got to Norway and I still haven't seen the exact verdict from
the Nederland municipal court, but it apparantly ordered her to remove
my grand father by March the 6th or the court would cremate him.
The latest is that the town will first fine her and take our house, and then 
cremate my grand father. 
 
To steamroll over the mentally ill the way the town of Nederland and
their court has done with my mother, does not constitute civilized
behavior or a civilized society. 
What good does it do to have rights when one doesn't have the wherewithall
to defend these and the court is of no assistance. 

My mother is now in a mental hospital here in Oslo, her doctor has
in writing made it clear that my mother can not sign any document or
take any legal action in her present state.

I have faxed the doctors letter to the court twice and they keep losing it
or claiming not to have received it, 
The fax here acknowledged that all the pages went through both times.

I have prepared, signed under a power of attorney from my mother and 
mailed to the 20th district court two appeals.

I appealed both the board of zoning adjustments decission and the ruling in 
Nederland municipal court.

The first appeal I even got mother to sign and file in person with the 
court on december the 5th. And she claims to have paid the filing fee for 
that appeal. What happened to that appeal? Non of us have heard a word 
about it from the court!

The second appeal I prepared and signed and mailed out to the court and 
to opposing counsel on February the 16th. And there too I have heard nothing.
My mother was to sign, file and pay the filing fee for that appeal too, 
but her mental illness, alcoholism and deportation prevented her from 
doing that. Thus I had to wire the filing fee from Norway which I did.
I have even mailed and faxed an Amicus Curae "Friend of the court" motion 
showing justifiable neglect for the delayed paying of the filing fee, and 
included the statemeent written by my mother's doctor.

When I spoke to the court on Friday the 3rd I was told that the court 
had found one of my appeals lacking and had refused to hear it. I have a 
right to appeal that and to ammend the appeal, but how can I do that when 
the court hasn't even bothered to send me the court order or any
statement as to what it found lacking or even to let me know that it found 
anything lacking.
My name and address was included with all I filed, and the appeal I filed
in February listed my mother's address as identical to mine here in Oslo.
She was being deported the next week. 
But non of us have heard anything.
Do I have to appeal to the federal court to get respect for due process?

Please respond as soon as possible.

On friday March the 3rd,
I wired the $80 filing fee to the 20th district court , care of Bank One,
attention Shirley Frost. 442-6770 If she hasn't received the money yet, 
please ask her to advance it to the 20th district court.
Please get someone to bring the 80 dollars to the clerk of the court 
before 4pm on Monday March 6th. Maybe Craig Baker at CDB systems 
444-771 or Richard Swartz at Stage house II 447-1433 
would help with advancing the 80 dollars to the court too
until the arrival of the money I have wired , if someone gives 
them a call.

Please contact our neighbors that share the joint driveway with us,
and get a copy of the road agreement including the power of attorney
that I used when I signed the road agreement. Please get that power
of attorney to the court before 4 pm on Monday the 6th too.
At least the court should tell me in writing that it wants these 
documents and give me a chance to timely ammend the appeal!

Real estate agent Matthew Makowski at Walnut realty might be able
to find a copy of the power of attorney too,
His numbers are 442-3180 and 447-8533
and the Title Group on Baseline a title company, who issued the
power of attorney, might be able
to search for the recorded easements and find the road agreement
and the attached power of attorney.
The lot number is lot 157, big springs third filing Nederland
colorado  The neighbors lots are lot 158 and Morrows subdivision
lot 3 and 4, and Filers lot is outlot F.
All my copies of the power of attorney is in Nederland
thus I have no way of retrieving it and sending it myself.
The clerk of the court claimed that they might let me represent my
mother if I provide them with that power of attorney.

If they just put the appeals on the docket, I have already filed motions
asking that they appoint a local attorney to represent my mother
and that it be set for a retrial in a less biased court then the one
in Nederland where my mother did not get a faire hearing.
I have also moved that I be added as a third party defendant,
after all I did under power of attorney all the things that
the court now wrongfully has convicted my mentally ill mother of.
So far the courts have refused to add me as a defendant,
and refused to let me represent my mother,
The town of Nederland has deliberately gone after my mother
as a much weaker victim for their transgressions. 
But what can you expect of a town that waited with attacking
my cryonic venture until I was safely deported,
and then immediately jumped on the opportunity to shut us down
by focusing their attacks on my pure old mother. 
Contrary to the erronous press story that went around the world,
the two frozen bodies were not discovered after my deportation.
More than 100 journalists in the Denver area had received a press
release about my cryo[Anic venture 2 months earlier, with all
pertinent details about the two bodies. And every step I took
in developing the facility had been documented in the cryonic
trade journals almost on a monthly basis since we bought the land in 1991
I had even told the local planning commission about my plans
back in 1991 when we bought the land. And though they weren't trilled
I complied with the zoning law, and they had to pass a post de facto
ordinance after I got deported, and to since stretch and ignore older
zoning laws in order to outlaw what I had been doing! 
It is clear that even a mediocre attorney would have
been able to win the case for us, however my mother couldn't
afford an attorney, the court failed to appoint one, and insisted
on putting my mother on trial in spite of she being certified
mentally incompetent. So much for justice in the town of Nederland.

My mother is unable to appeal the verdict herself.
The 20th district court has so far refused to let me represent her
and has not given me any clear reason why, and has not sent me
any dismissal of my appeals in writing, or in any other way
notified me so that I could timely ammend the appeals.
If this is justice, then Jefferson was right when he said that the 
United States is in need of a revolution every 5 years!

Several people have been helping out on the Internet,
and we do have an informal legal action group being put together
