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 Caroll 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.

MOTION FOR CHANGE OF VENUE OF
THIS CASE TO ANOTHER STATE

Now comes Alphonse Mourad, Plaintiff, and moves the Honorable Court (Kenner, C.J.), to change the venue of the debtor's bankruptcy from this Eastern District of Massachusetts to either the states of New York, Connecticut or Rode Island on the grounds that Judge Kenner was appointed the Chief Judge of the Bankruptcy Appeals Court in April 2003 (See Exhibit "A"), thus creating a conflict of interest, in that Judge Kenner will be the residing Judge in both the Debtor's chapter 11 bankruptcy case, and will be the Judge who will be responsible to hear any appeal made in said chapter 11 bankruptcy case in the Bankruptcy Appeals Court. Judge Kenner will be forced to make an eventual ruling in the remand trial in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court (which she has continued to postpone) making it impossible for Mourad to try to get another appellate court order requiring a trial.

Furthermore, as of today, almost four years later, the United States Bankruptcy Court of Appeals ordered Judge Kenner to give Mourad a trial on his claims of malfeasance and negligence by the United States Bankruptcy Trustee, appointed by Judge Kenner to handle his bankruptcy case (see U.S. Bankruptcy Appellate Panel's 4/12/00 Judgment and Order, attached as Exhibit "B"). Judge Kenner, who had been the chief bankruptcy judge for fourteen years, has refused to grant a trial date despite Mourad's efforts (see Mourad's 9/12/01 Motion to Request A Trial, attached as Exhibit "C").

On 10/31/01, Judge Kenner submitted a Pretrial Order On Remand Motion of Alphonse Mourad To Allow Administrative Claim Late (See Exhibit "D"). In that Order, Judge Kenner ordered Mourad to file a pretrial statement on or before 2/15/02, and for the Trustee to file his pretrial statement on or before 4/12/02. Both parties satisfied Judge Kenner's order.

As of now, nearly two years have passed since both parties had satisfied Judge Kenner's pretrial order, and nearly four years have passed since the original 4/12/00 Order and Judgment of the Bankruptcy Appellate Pannell. Still, no trial date has been set by Judge Kenner.

Also, Mourad is still awaiting a response from The Committee On The Judiciary and The House of Representatives on his compliant filed against Judge Kenner, seeking an investigation and her eventual impeachment for her cover-up of the fraud and perjury committed in the V&M Bankruptcy case, by the Trustee, Stephen S. Gray and the Law Firm of Hanify and King and attorney Harold H. Murphy (See Exhibit "E").

There is a further conflict, in that Judge Kenner could potentially be called as a witness in the remand trial based on her knowledge that Harold Murphy and Hanify and King, who was V&M Management's counsel, represented Trustee Gray in a separate matter before Judge Kenner at the very same time. The record demonstrates that Harold Murphy and Hanify & King represented Stephen Gray, in his capacity as Chapter 7 Trustee, in the case of In re: Neponset River Paper Company f/k/a, Patriot Paper Corporation, Case No. 93-12482-CJK. This case was pending at the very same time as the V&M case and was before the same Bankruptcy Judge, Carol J. Kenner, who appointed Gray as the Trustee for V&M. It is reasonable to assume that Judge Kenner knew of the prior Murphy/Hanify and King representation of Gray at the same time she appointed Gray. The Patriot Paper case had been ongoing before Mourad hired Harold Murphy to represent V&M in January of 1996, and Murphy proceeded to represent Gray in the Patriot Paper case and V&M simultaneously, in the same court room, and in front of the same Judge (Carol J. Kenner), without notifying Mourad of his relationship with Gray. Further, Gray was appointed by Kenner as V&M's Trustee on 4/2/96. On 4/11/96, Murphy and Hanify & King appeared on behalf of Gray in the Patriot Paper case before Judge Kenner. Also, Trustee Gray filed two Verified Statements under oath (one on 4/2/96 and the other on 4/5/96, See attached Exhibit "F") stating he had no affiliation with the debtor or the debtor's attorney's, thus committing perjury.

Mourad also says that Judge Kenner is biased to him, in that she had barred Mourad from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, the Clerks Office, and the U.S. Trustee's Office for life without a hearing or just cause, thus violating his first amendment right and enabling him to file motions on his behalf, being Pro Se and indigent. (See Exhibit "G").

Finally, Mourad says that Judge Kenner's delay of the remand trial to determine who is responsible to pay the IRS income taxes for the profit V&M incurred for the years 1997 and 1999, which the Trustee pocketed for himself as the owner of V&M Management, has cost Mourad approximately $400,000 owed to the IRS, including interest and penalties in excess of $150,000 (See Exhibit "H").

WHEREFORE, Mourad moves the Honorable Court (Kenner, C.J.), to change the venue of the debtor's bankruptcy from this Eastern District of Massachusetts to either the states of New York, Connecticut or Rode Island on the grounds mentioned above.

Mr. Alphonse Mourad
125 West Street
Hyde Park, MA 02136

Dear Mr. Mourad:

Thank you for your correspondence regarding judicial misconduct. You have inquired as to the procedures of the House Judiciary Committee on investigating complaints against Federal judges.

Due to the limited resources of the Committee to investigate the complaints received, and to ensure fairness to all individuals involved, Congress established a procedure in 1980 to be utilized as the primary means of investigating and adjudicating judicial misconduct complaints.

The Judicial Councils Reform and Judicial Conduct and Disability Act of 1980, 28 U.S. C. § 372(c) ("The 1980 Act") established a mechanism for the presentation of complaints against federal judges (with the exception of Justices of the United States Supreme Court, for whom no formal complaint mechanism exists other than filing a complaint with Congress). It is the considered policy of the House Judiciary Committee to defer, except in exceptional circumstances, to the complaint procedures of the 1980 Act. You should, accordingly, take all possible steps to avail yourselves of those procedures before bringing die matter to this Committee.

Under those procedures, a complaint alleging that a federal judge has engaged in conduct prejudicial to the effective and expeditious administration of the business of the courts may be filed with the clerk of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the circuit in which the federal judge to be complained against sits.

Each complaint is considered first by the Chief Judge of the circuit, who determines whether or not the complaint raises an issue that should be investigated. If the complaint is against the Chief Judge, another judge will make this determination.

If the complaint is directly related to the merits of a decision or procedural ruling rendered by the judge against whom the complaint is lodged, the complaint will be summarily dismissed.

The proper recourse to challenge the merits of a judicial ruling is by way of appeal, at the appropriate time, to a court with jurisdiction to hear such appeals. The filing of a complaint of judicial misconduct under the procedures set forth in section 372(c) is not a device for further review of judicial rulings.

If the Chief Judge determines that an investigation is necessary, he or she will appoint a special committee of judges for that purpose. The special committee will report to the judicial council of the circuit, which will decide what action, if any, should be taken.

A complaint must be filed in writing on a form that has been developed for that purpose. If you need the form, it is suggested that you call the clerk of the appropriate U.S. Court of Appeals, and the clerk can provide you with a copy of the form.

This letter is not meant to suggest that the filing of a complaint of judicial misconduct is appropriate in your situation. It is intended only to inform you and suggest that any complaint that is to be filed should be filed first under those procedures.

If a party has availed itself of the Judicial Councils Reform and Judicial Conduct and Disability Act procedures, and remains dissatisfied, they may implore a Member of the House to bring such a complaint to the attention of the Judiciary Committee.

Again, this letter is not meant to suggest that you file a complaint under the 1980 Act or that you contact your representative requesting that a formal complaint be filed. I hope this assists in informing you as to the procedures established by Congress and followed by the Judiciary Committee.

Sincerely,

HOWARD COBLE

RE: BBO File NofsV C1-97-723B (Harold B. Murphy, Esq.;> Dear Mr. Mourad:

I have reviewed and investigated your allegations of misconduct regarding Attorney Harold B. Murphy.
Your allegation that Attorney Murphy did not disclose to you that his firm represented Mr. Gray in other prior or pending matters cannot be substantiated with the degree and certainty of evidence necessary for successful prosecution. It does appear that trustee Gray filed two false, or at least grossly inaccurate, disclosure statements with the Bankruptcy Court. However, after exhaustive review, we have been unable to prove that either Choate, Hall and Stewart or Hanify and King had prior knowledge of, or participated in the falsity of the two filings.
In dismissing this file, we express no opinion as to any civil liability that Attorney Murphy or trustee Gray may have and the file may be reopened if any other agency finds any professional misconduct.
The matter is now concluded, and no further proceedings will be instituted by this office. This decision has been reviewed by a member of the Board of Bar Overseers, who concurs in the dismissal.
