Re: Jail Press Release

Alphonse Mourad's Statement

To Whom It May Concern:

On February 24, 2004, I entered the United States Bankruptcy Court House on the 11th Floor of the Tip O'Neil building in Boston, Massachusetts where I have been barred from entering by US Bankruptcy Judge Carol J. Kenner. I went to the Courthouse today at 11:00 AM to file my motion to seek a change of venue on my Bankruptcy Case.

I was greeted by the U.S. Marshall and two other law enforcement officers who were prepared for my arrival. The Marshall stated that there would be no arrest on this day. The US Marshall took my motion, passed through the barriers and filed it for me, and then asked me to leave the building. I told him that I would return in two weeks to be arrested and break the order if I was not granted my change of venue request. This is a democracy, I have rights as a citizen and I will continue to fight until those rights are recognized. Judicial corruption ruined my family's viability for generations. The corruption of Judge Kenner must end - not just for me but for all of the businessmen who seek refuge in her court and are unlawfully stripped of years of hardwork.

I will keep you posted regarding the outcome of this case.

Sincerely,

Alphonse Mourad

ORDER OF REASSIGNMENT

In view of my impending retirement from the bench, the interest of justice and the efficient performance of the business of the Court would best be served by reassignment of the "Muliuii lu Allow Administrative Claim ofAlphonse Mourad Late"' ("the contested matter") to another bankruptcy judge of the District of Massachusetts. Therefore, pursuant to MLBR 5001-l(d), I hereby reassign the contested matter 10 Judge Joel B. Rosemhal in the Western Division of She Massachusetts Bankruptcy Court. This reassignment does not affect the continued validity of the Court's order barring Mr. Alphonse Mourad from coming to the Boston Bankruptcy Court at 10 Causeway Street.

Date: 4-24-04

Eric Bradford, Esq., for United States Trustee

ORDER OF REASSIGNMENT

The Court is aware of only one matter currently pending in the case, the "Motion to Allow Administrative Claim ofAlphonse Mourad Late," which the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel remanded to this Court for adjudication of certain claims of negligence. (The Creditors' Trustee has recently filed a Cross-Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings, but it relates directly and entirely to the "Motion to Allow Administrative Claim ofAlphonse Mourad Late," and thus is part of the same contested mallei.)

By order of December 23. 1998, the Court allowed the Creditors' Trustee's Amended Motion for Final Decree, stating: "this case is hereby closed except only as to (I) matters presently under appeal and (2) the recently-decided motion (the creditors' joint motion for retroactive removal of trustee and vacalur of fee orders) as to which the appeal period has not lapsed. The final decree will enter only upon resolution of the matters that, under this order, are excepted from closure." The "Motion to Allow Administrative Claim ofAlphonse Mourad Late" is the only such matter that remains unresolved. The assets of the estate have been administered and, except for this one contested matter, all controversies in the case have been resolved. By a judgment entered on November 10, 1999, in adversary proceeding no. 99-1205, this Court dismissed all but one of the many counts of a complaint filed by Mr. Mourad against the Chapter 11 Trustee and others; the Court remanded the remaining count to the Superior Court, from whence the defendants had earlier removed it. Mr. Mourad took an appeal from that order, but the order was affirmed on appeal by the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel on February 26, 2001 and by the First Circuit Court of Appeals on February 24, 2003, and therefore lhat adversary proceeding is now fully resolved. Mr. Mourad and others also took appeals from subsequent orders; the last of those appeals was resolved on October 23, 2000.

Alphonse Mourad, A Judicial Victim To Bankruptcy Court Judge Carol J. Kenner, Demands a Trial. Mourad Will Appear At The Tip O' Neil Federal Building /11th Floor (Boston, MA) On February 24, 2004 At 11 AM To Be Arrested And Begin His Hunger Strike And To Protest The Biased Judge.

Alphonse Mourad, a long time Boston resident and the former owner of the Mandela Apartments - a 276 unit Section 8 development in Lower Roxbury, Massachusetts was illegally stripped of his $20 million housing development to assist in the gentrification of Boston's minority communities, announced today that he would go to prison and undertake a hunger strike to force Judge Carol Kenner, United States Bankruptcy Court, to give him the remand trial the Court of Appeals ordered on May 15, 2000.

As of today, almost four years later, the United States Bankruptcy Court of Appeals ordered Judge Kenner to give Mr. Mourad a jury trial on his claims of malfeasance and negligence by the United States Bankruptcy Trustee appointed by Judge Kenner to handle his bankruptcy. Judge Kenner, who had been the chief bankruptcy judge for fourteen years, has refused to grant a trial date despite Mr. Mourad's efforts.

In fact, Mourad was barred by Judge Kenner from the 11th floor of the Tip O'Neil building--ie. the entire U.S. Bankruptcy Court--for life, without reason and without a hearing, which violates Mourad's first amendment rights as a U.S. Citizen.

Despite constitutional requirements of access to the courts and the right to act as his own attorney, when Mr. Mourad peacefully went to the clerk's office to review his filings, Judge Kenner ordered him arrested on May 12, 1999. He was subsequently found to be in violation of the Court's order, was fined $1000, and told that if he ever stepped out of the elevator, on to the 11th floor /Bankruptcy Court again, he would be arrested and charged with a felony.

Mr. Mourad had gone to the clerk's office to review his file concerning claims that the United States Trustee, his lawyers, and certain development companies in Boston had illegally
deprived him of his property. When the claim was dismissed, Mr. Mourad took it to the Court of Appeals, who reversed Judge Kenner's ruling and sent the matter back for trial.

In April 2003, Judge Kenner was appointed the Chief Judge of the Bankruptcy Appeals Court, making it impossible for Mourad to try to get another appellate court order requiring a trial.

The delayed trial has meant further complication for Mourad. He is facing an alleged tax delinquency charge from the United States Internal Revenue Service, the IRS, for back taxes assessed against the Mandela Apartments in 1997 and 1999, well after control of the properties had passed out of his hands and into the control of the Bankruptcy Court Trustee.

The IRS claims that Mr. Mourad owes in access of $400,000 in back taxes, penalties and interest on the net gain received from the sale of the Mandela Apartments despite the fact that the proceeds from the undervalued sale were paid to the Trustee and distributed to the secured creditors, with no payment, or record of payment going to Mourad, the IRS still claims that he as the owner of record owes the taxes due.

The trial in Bankruptcy Court will force discussion of these issues, Mr. Mourad believes, and lead to his exoneration on the tax issues. After the sale of the property to a private interest, which deprived the residents of an ownership interest, the property received a Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) allocation from the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development. The LIHTC is a federal program, under the IRS code, that allows investment in low income housing by wealthy individuals, who in turn receive a lucrative tax credit against their adjusted gross income.

Mr. Mourad, as the owner of the building, is entitled to recapture tax credits, especially since the property was sold as a fraction of its appraised value. In fact, from a strict accounting view point, Mr. Mourad owed a substantial refund on all federal taxes paid in 1994 and 1995 because he took a substantial loss on the sale of his property, and was never able to recapture his investment in the property for capital improvements, which amounts to over $600,000.

"I am hopeful," said Mourad, "that a trial will bring relief to me and my family. This has been an ordeal that has caused extreme emotional and financial pain within my family. We have, however, become closer as a result of the open attempts to break our will," he said.

"For two years this case has not moved an inch judicially," Mr. Mourad said. Today, Mr. Mourad announced that if it was necessary for him to go to the courthouse and be arrested, he would be willing to go to prison and undertake a hunger strike in order to try to force the matter to trial.

Mr. Mourad said that the years of attempting to litigate his case has severely weaken his health, and that he recognized that a year in prison and a hunger strike could have dangerous consequences, but that might be a necessary price to pay to stop the continuing violation of his right to a trial that Judge Kenner continues to deny.

I am seeking for help from the U.S. President, George W. Bush, Investigators, Lawyers and the Media to help expose this case. I have exhausted all possible legal avenues - all of which are steeped in local corruption. After years of waiting for the trial that appears will not happen, I am appearing at the Tip O' Neil Building/Bankruptcy Court 11th Floor, which I was barred from for life, without reason by Judge Carol Kenner this February 24, 2004 at 11:00am for my arrest and to begin a hunger strike. This is to protest the corruption, fraud and perjury that has taken place and has lost me millions of dollars.
