Introduction:
I am writing to respectfully request the appointment of legal counsel due to my financial hardship and the complexity of my case. I have already been recognized as indigent by the state court, and I am currently submitting the necessary documents to the federal court to establish my indigent status there as well.
Due Process Violations:
- My constitutional rights to due process were violated by the Southeast Housing Court, which lacked subject matter jurisdiction to hear criminal cases.
- I was stripped of my right to a jury trial and denied discovery requests, leading to an unfair bench trial.
- I was subjected to an invalid Summary Process Action, generally used for landlord and tenant disputes, despite neither party fitting that description.
- I have been subjected to an illegal eviction within the *-hour notice, further violating my rights.
- *Case Law:* *Mathews v. Eldridge*, * U.S. * (*) establishes the importance of procedural due process.
Conflict of Interest:
- Opposing counsel represented both the lender and a third-party buyer, creating a conflict of interest.
- The counsel aided and abetted in the invalid foreclosure by filingfalse evidence in the housing court, committing fraud upon the court.
Ongoing Legal Proceedings:
- I am involved in both state and federal court cases, including appeals related to foreclosure fraud, usury, constitutional violations, and fraud upon the court.
- I have two civil cases pending where I am represented by an attorney on a contingency basis, but I am forced to proceed pro se in the appeals.
Case Complexity:
- The case involves multiple legal issues, including foreclosure fraud, usury, constitutional violations, and fraud upon the court.
- Key evidence includes:
- The lender's testimony admitting to wrongful foreclosure.
- Accounting records showing a *% interest rate in violation of M.G.L. Chapter *, Section *.
- An invalid foreclosure deed used by opposing counsel.
- Documentation of the illegal eviction within the *-hour notice.
- In my federal case, the judge recently dismissed the lender's motion to dismiss, stating that "even if a lender has the right to foreclose, he does not have the right to do so in bad faith."
- *Case Law:* *U.S. Bank National Association v. Ibanez*, * Mass. * (*) supports claims regarding wrongful foreclosure

Would you like any additional information or assistance with your motion?
Yes. Given that its a holiday today tomorrow morning I will call the appeals court clerk and ask her how to to docket my appeal and I will file this motion . Do I wait until my appeal has been docketeed? If I send the motion now it will be to the single justice who has apreviously denied me. However if I wait to docket will my motion for Counsel go before the full panel?
Given your situation, here are a few points to consider:
- Timing of Filing the Motion: Generally, it might be more strategic to wait until your appeal is docketed. This way, your motion for counsel could potentially go before a full panel rather than a single justice who has previously denied you.
- Consultation: Confirm this approach with the appeals court clerk when you call. They can provide specific guidance based on your case's procedural posture.

I am confused are you stating that when i need to file a summary of the case to provide the full panel it witll be our Motion for Counsel?
I understand your confusion. The "summary of the case" and the "Motion for Appointment of Counsel" are typically two separate documents. Here's how they generally fit together:
*. Summary of the Case:
- This is a brief overview of your case, including important facts, procedural history, and key legal issues.
- It helps the court understand the background and context of your appeal.
*. Motion for Appointment of Counsel:
- This is a request for the court to appoint legal representation for you due to financial hardship and case complexity.
- It should include detailed arguments and key evidence supporting your need for counsel.
You should prepare both documents. File the summary of the case when docketing your appeal, and then submit the Motion for Appointment of Counsel to the full panel once your appeal is docketed.
