I am a complainant in several civil harassment cases against a Defendant in my local New Jersey Municipal Court. I also strongly suspect my local Police Department and Court Clerk Office have taken steps to hinder and obstruct my cases due to the Defendant being a popular local public figure. Due to a conflict of interest with the Prosecutor and the Defendant, my cases were moved to another Municipal Court. I never received a trial date court notification from that Municipal Court which caused me to fail to appear. I am filing a Motion to Vacate to attempt to reopen my cases.
