Thursday November 8, 2007 08:38 Second judicial district court returned our 3425 void judgment filing AFTER file stamping and punching it. No!!! Something very strange. Look like a duplicate of information previously received but instead of the Eichwald order, the two 02 May 16 PM 1:07 enclosures.
The filed stamp has been whited-out. Here's the reverse side of above.
Here's the file stamp magnified 3x.
2007 OCT 30 8:18 PENELOPE SMITH?

Thursday November 1, 2007 07:58 2001 CV 7794 and 2002 3425 are properly before New Mexico Court of Appeals and Utah Federal Court. See Pro Se Fights main page article. 12-309. Motions. This is more than a posting: IT IS A CRIME SCENE. 12-604. Removal of public officials. Morales and Payne studied the returned motion documents. It appears that they were properly filed and punched by clerk Penelope Smith, then someone whited-out the file stamp marks. Perhaps ANN M. HART whose stamp is seen below. But they apparently screwed-up and didn't white-out the file stamp from one document. We're formulating a strategy on what to do. First post! http://www.prosefights.org/nmlegal/secondvoid/secondvoid.htm#eichwald The Eichwald order is voidable since the order beyond Eichwald's jurisdiction. The limitations inherent in the requirements of due process of law extend to judicial, as well as political, branches of the government, so that a judgment may not be rendered in violation of those constitutional limitations and guaranties.Eichwald also violated his oath of office, in writing. But, hey, this is standard practice. Here's the law: 1-060. Relief from judgment or order. |

SECOND JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT No. CV-2002-3425 ARTHUR R. MORALES, and WILLIAM H. PAYNE, v. W. JOHN BRENNAN, 1 Lawyer Walz writes The matter was improperly dismissed in court order entered July 8, 2002. CV-2002-3425 is a 12 person jury trial lawsuit. Walz does not cite any statute or law which over turns right of trial by jury guaranteed inviolate by New Mexico Constitution ARTICLE II Bill of Rights which states Sec. 12. [Trial by jury; less than unanimous verdicts in civil cases.] The right of trial by jury as it has heretofore existed shall be secured to all and remain inviolate. ... Right of jury trial is also guaranteed inviolate by 7thAmendment to US Constitution and 28 USC Rule 38. 2 Lawyer Walz writes a. Order Granting Defendants' Joint Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs' Compliant Against W. John Brennan, Kenneth G. Brown and Patricio M. Sema on the Basis of Absolute Judicial Immunity. a-c are all voidable because the limitations inherent in the
requirements of due process of law extend to judicial, as well as political,
branches of the government, so that a judgment may not be rendered
in violation of those constitutional limitations and
guaranties.
Fraud for amount of $322 is a a fourth degree felony under 30-16-6 which carries a sentence of eighteen months imprisonment under 31-18-15. 3 Lawyer Walz writes d. Order Granting Defendants' Motion for Injunctive Relief Prohibiting Arthur R. Morales from Filing Lawsuits in New Mexico Courts Without Representation of Licensed Counsel. are all voidable because the limitations inherent in the
requirements of due process of law extend to judicial, as well as political,
branches of the government, so that a judgment may not be rendered
in violation of those constitutional limitations and
guaranties.
3 Lawyer Walz writes
Above statement is false. Mandatory judicial notice states: A void judgment must be
dismissed, regardless of timeliness if jurisdiction is deficient. 4 Lawyer Walz writes
Copy of judge Scott's order plaintiffs received did not have
Scott's signature affixed nor was it mailed from clerk's office
Mandatory judicial notices states: Any judgment rendered by a court which lacks jurisdiction, either of the subject matter of the parties, or lacks inherent power to enter the particular judgment, or entered an Order which violated due process or was procured through extrinsic or collateral fraud, is null and void, and can be attacked at any time, in any court, either directly or collaterally, provided that the party is properly before the court. Plaintiffs are properly before court in No. CV-2002-3425. 5 Lawyer Walz writes
Mandatory judicial notices states: Any judgment rendered by a court which lacks jurisdiction, either of the subject matter of the parties, or lacks inherent power to enter the particular judgment, or entered an Order which violated due process or was procured through extrinsic or collateral fraud, is null and void, and can be attacked at any time, in any court, either directly or collaterally, provided that the party is properly before the court. Reference to order entered on May 16, 2002, from the Honorable Kenneth Brow is improper because Mandatory Judicial Notice states: A court may not render a judgment which transcends the limits of its authority, and a judgment is void if it is beyond the powers granted to the court by the law of its organization, even where the court has jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter. 6 Lawyer Walz writes must be rejected for the reason that Plaintiffs have paid for 12 person jury trial breach of contract prima facie case lawsuit against defendants. Plaintiffs wants what they paid for and is guaranteed inviolate by New Mexico and US Constitutions. 7 The court must grant relief requested in motion for reasons: A When rule providing relief from void judgments is applicable, relief is mandatory and is not discretionary. B Judge assigned to case will have signed are required to sign an Oath of Officer? Section 1. [Oath of officer.] Every person elected or appointed to any office shall, before entering upon his duties, take and subscribe to an oath or affirmation that he will support the constitution of the United States and the constitution and laws of this state, and that he will faithfully and impartially discharge the duties of his office to the best of his ability. Failure not to have settlement or paid for trial by 12 person jury would violate oath of office and the limitations inherent in the requirements of due process of law extend to judicial, as well as political, branches of the government, so that a judgment may not be rendered in violation of those constitutional limitations and guaranties. 8 No face-to-face hearing must be permitted in this matter because of the threat of Walz to get a crooked judge to unwarrantedly sanction plaintiff. Walz has demonstrated, in writing guilt of for attempting to solicit a judge to deny right to trial by jury. When judges or other authorities are suspected or accused of crime or misconduct, then they should no longer be under the protection of absolute immunity. These are persons who may have erred in their judgments and decisions and must be investigated to confirm or deny these allegations. All communications in must be in writing because of demonstrated corruption within the New Mexico court systems. The fact remains that a judge has never ruled on the validity of plaintiffs' motion of authorities to void or vacate judgment for lack of jurisdiction.

http://www.prosefights.org/nmlegal/secondvoid/secondvoid.htm#moralespayne Arrived Saturday October 13, 2007. Note that lawyer Walz does not respond to the motion but rather tries to attack plaintiffs. And, of course, plaintiffs are not filing any new lawsuits ... merely filing a motion in existing lawsuits. Note "Making Legal History." Appearance is made that Walz is trying to get us into a verbal hearing to judge on the merits of his attacks, not our motion. Let's not do this. Walz may have again, in writing, violated New Mexico criminal statutes in below responses to yet undocketed motion. http://www.prosefights.org/nmlegal/secondvoid/secondvoid.htm#walzmoralespayne |

SECOND JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT No. CV-2002-3425 ARTHUR R. MORALES, and WILLIAM H. PAYNE, v. W. JOHN BRENNAN, COME NOW, Defendants W. John Brennan. Kenneth G. Brown, William Haas, Patricio M. Sema, and Walz and Associates, by and through counsel, Jerry A. Walz, Walz and Associates, hereby respond to Plaintiffs Arthur R. Morales and William H. Payne pleadings as follows: 1. This matter was dismissed pursuant to court order entered July 8, 2002, by the Honorable Robert H. Scott. Jurisdiction was at all times proper, and no appeal from the dismissal orders was taken by the Plaintiffs. The following dismissal orders which resolved all claims advanced by Plaintiffs are attached as follows: a. Order Granting Defendants' Joint Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs' Compliant Against W. John Brennan, Kenneth G. Brown and Patricio M. Sema on the Basis of Absolute Judicial Immunity. 2. The current pleadings filed by Mr. Morales and Mr. Payne are frivolous, out of time, and in direct violation of two separate orders which permanently enjoin these plaintiffs from filing these types of pleadings. 3. The terms and conditions of the injunction entered in these proceedings which prohibits this type of behavior from Mr. Morales are clear and unambiguous. A copy of Judge Scott's order granting the injunctive relief is attached. 4. In another state district court action, co-plaintiff William H. Payne was also enjoined by an order entered on May 16, 2002, from the Honorable Kenneth Brown from filing this type of pleading without meeting specific terms and conditions as identified in that order. The Order granting injunctive relief against Mr. Payne is attached. Both Mr. Morales and Mr. Payne are in direct violation of the respective injunctive orders entered by Courts of competent jurisdiction, and the court should impose appropriate sanctions against them. Respectfully, the Court in these proceedings should order the following: 1. That Mr. Morales and Mr. Payne be ordered to personally appear before the Court to show cause why they should not be held in contempt; 2. That should the Court find that Mr. Morales and Mr. Payne have violated the terms and conditions of the respective injunctions entered against them, that the Court hold them in contempt and fix an appropriate penalty and enforce it accordingly in a manner in which these two individuals will understand that they can not violate the respective injunctions entered against them. 3. That the Court order that Mr. Morales and Mr. Payne to pay all reasonable attorney fees and costs incurred in the defense of this matter based on their direct and intentional violation of the terms and conditions of the respective injunctions entered against them . The Court, pursuant to N.M. Stat. Ann. § 34-1-2, has the proper authority to impose sanctions for violations of court orders. N.M. Stat. Ann. § 34-1-2 (It shall be within the power of each and every presiding [officer] of the several courts of this state, whether of record or not of record, to preserve order and decorum, and for that purpose to punish contempts by reprimand, arrest, fine or imprisonment, being circumscribed by the usage of the courts of the United States.) See also Consoles v. Surgidev Corp., 120 N.M. 151, 154 (N.M. 1995) (An award of sanctions is based on a party's misconduct towards the court. The court may award civil contempt sanctions even when the underlying claim is dismissed. An award of civil contempt sanctions attempts to "compensate the complainant for losses sustained.")(quoting State e.x re]. Apodaca v. Our Chapel of Memories of New Mexico, Inc., 74 N.M. 201, 204, 392 P.2d 347, 349 (1964))(intemal cites omitted) State ex rel. Apodaca v. Our Chapel of Memories, 74 N.M. 201, 204 (N.M. 1964) (Judicial sanctions may, however, be employed in civil contempt for either or both of two purposes: to coerce the defendant into compliance with the court's order and to compensate the complainant for losses sustained.) The court should utilize that power and authority to secure compliance from Mr. Morales and Mr. Payne regarding the injunctions entered against them.

SECOND JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT WILLIAM H. PAYNE, v. W. JOHN BRENNAN, and COME NOW, Defendants W. John Brennan, W. Daniel Schneider, by and through counsel, Jerry A. Walz, Walz and Associates, hereby respond to Plaintiff William H. Payne's pleadings as follows: 1. This matter was properly dismissed on May 16, 2002, by the Honorable Kenneth Brown, sitting by designation. Jurisdiction at all times in these proceedings was proper, and no appeal from the dismissal order was taken by Pro Se Plaintiff William H. Payne. A copy of the Honorable Kenneth Brown's May 16, 2002, order is attached as Exhibit A. 2. The current pleadings filed by Mr. Payne are frivolous, out of time, and in direct violation of the order entered May 16, 2002, which granted Defendants' Motion for Injunctive Relief which prohibits Mr. Payne from filing any Pro Se pleadings in any New Mexico Court with the following exceptions:
3- A copy of the Court's Mav 16 ?nn-> A May 16, 2002. order granting the above injunctive relief and other conditions is attached hereto as Exhibit B. By filing the present pleadings, Mr. Payne was committed a direct violation of the Injundction entered against him by the court. The pleadings do not appear under the singnature of tha licnesed New mexico Attorney, not does it appear thaat the Judge assigned to the case has approved the filing. Mr Payne has a history of vexatious litigation practices where he has on a refulare bases named judges as Defendant and then lawyers who successfully represente them. He has also posted on a regular basis false adn libelous informaiton on his website which will dealt the accordingly.However, as to these particular pleading filed in violation of the injunction, the Court respectfully should order the following 1. That Mr. Payne should be ordered to personally appear before the Cpurt to show cause whey he sould not be held in comtempt of Court. 2. That the Court in fact find that Mr. Payne is in contempt of the Courts clear and unambiguous injuction , and the Court affix an appropriate penalty and enforce it accordingly so that.Mr. Payne will understand that he cannot deliberately violate the injunction; 3. That the Court order that Mr. Payne pay all reasonable attorney fees and costs incurred in defenseof this matter based on Mr. Payne's direct and intentional violation of the terms and conditions of the injunction. 4. That the Court deny the requested relief. The Court, pursuant to N.M. Stat. Ann. § 34-1-2, has the power and authority to impose sanctions for violations of its order. N.M. Sfal. Ann. § 34-1-2 (It shall be within the power of each and every presiding [officer] of the several courts of this state, whether of record or not of record, to preserve order and decorum, and for that purpose to punish contempts by reprimand, arrest, fine or imprisonment, being circumscribed by the usage of the courts of the United States.) See also Gomales v. Surgidev Corp., 120 N.M. 151, 154 (N.M. 1995) (An award of sanctions is based on a party's misconduct towards the court. The court may award civil contempt sanctions even when the underlying claim is dismissed. An award of civil contempt sanctions attempts to "compensate the complainant for losses sustained.")(quoting State ex rel. Apodaca v. Our Chapel of Memories of New Mexico. Inc.. 74 N.M. 201, 204, 392 P.2d 347, 349 (1964))(internal cites omitted) State ex rel. Apodaca v. Our Chapel of Memories, 74 N.M. 201, 204 (N.M. 1964) (Judicial sanctions may, however, be employed in civil contempt for either or both of two purposes: to coerce the defendant into compliance with the court's order and to compensate the complainant for losses sustained.) The Court should use that power and authority here to secure compliance from Mr. Payne of the injunction that has been in place against him since May 16, 2002. Respectfully Submitted, |

![]() ![]() from PAGE A1 Former Mayor Jim Owen sent a letter to the attorney
general after Palenick was fired in December, claiming then-mayor Kevin Jackson
and four city councilors had a series of discussions about Palenick before
firing him. Jackson and Williams then met with Palenick to request his resignation. After meeting with Palenick, they told Naranjo and
Councilor Patty Thomas about the discussion. That meant four councilors and the
mayor had discussed Palenick's severance outside of a public meeting. That
constitutes a quo rum, according to the opinion. A quorum is a gathering of elected officials large enough to, vote on public business. Elected official; violate the state Open Meetings Act if they discuss official business without first notifying the public. Although they did not al] meet at once, there was enough overlap in the vari- ous meetings that day to constitute a rolling quorum, according to the opinion. A rolling quorum occurs when elected officials discuss public business without holding a meeting by discussing issues in small groups or over the phone. That means the council's Dec. 13 decision to fire
Palenick is void, according to the opinion. The council may conduct a legal
meeting to discuss the same issues as in the rolling quorum and make the same
decision, which would make it valid. Naranjo said in December that councilors did not discuss how they were going to vote before the official meeting in which Palenick was fired.
Thomas, Naranjo and city attorney James Babin did not return phone calls Saturday seeking comment. City Councilor Marilyn Salzman could also not be reached for comment. JIM PALENICK |

07:05 Readers, what you see here is a bogus court orders sent to Morales and Payne by lawyer Jerry Walz, brother of Kent Walz editor of the Albuquerque Journal, not the clerk of the second judicial district. This is a felony crime perpetrated to protect crooked New Mexico judges, New Mexico state employee William Haas, and Jerry Walz himself. So let's do something about this. No response from New Mexico state auditor Hector Balderas about who paid Walz.

| SECOND JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT COUNTY OF BERNALILLO STATE OF NEW MEXICO CASE NUMBER CV 2002 3425 Arthur R Morales v W John Brennan Defendants 1-060. Relief from judgment or order. TO VACATE JUGMENTS FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION 1 COMES NOW, Plaintiffs Morales and Payne to place this court on mandatory judicial notice of authorities of motion to vacate judgments. 2 To be valid and enforceable, a judgment must be supported by three elements: (1) the court must have jurisdiction of the parties; If the requirements for validity are not met, a judgment may be subject to avoidance. 1 3 Any judgment rendered by a court which lacks jurisdiction, either of the subject matter of the parties, or lacks inherent power to enter the particular judgment, or entered an Order which violated due process or was procured through extrinsic or collateral fraud, is null and void, and can be attacked at any time, in any court, either directly or collaterally, provided that the party is properly before the court. 2 4 Such a judgment is void from its inception, incapable of confirmation or ratification, and can never have any legal effect. 3 5 A void judgment must be dismissed, regardless of timeliness if jurisdiction is deficient. 5 6 When rule providing relief from void judgments is applicable, relief is mandatory and is not discretionary. 4 7 The passage of time, however great, does not affect the validity of a judgment 6 and cannot render a void judgment valid. 7 8 The limitations inherent in the requirements of due process of law extend to judicial, as well as political, branches of the government, 8 so that a judgment may not be rendered in violation of those constitutional limitations and guaranties. 9 9 A court may not render a judgment which transcends the limits of its authority, 10 and a judgment is void if it is beyond the powers granted to the court by the law of its organization, even where the court has jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter. 11 10 A void judgment may be cured Mandamus. 12 11 Res judicata does not apply to a void judgment motion.
13 13 A judgment is irregular where its rendition is contrary to the course and practice of the courts; 16 that is, where proper rules of practice have not been followed, or where some necessary act has been omitted or has been done in an improper manner.17 14 A court is authorized by statute to entertain jurisdiction in a particular case only, and undertakes to exercise the jurisdiction conferred in a case to which the statute has no application, the judgment rendered is void.1815 A judgment is void when the court lacks jurisdiction of the parties or of the subject matter, 19 lacks the inherent power to make or enter the particular order involved, 20 or acts in a manner inconsistent with due process of law.21 16 The judgment of a court without hearing or giving a party an opportunity to be heard is not a judicial determination of its rights, 22 and is not entitled to respect in any other tribunal. 23 1 See Peduto v.

| SECOND JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT COUNTY OF BERNALILLO STATE OF NEW MEXICO WILLIAM H PAYNE vs No. CV 01-7794 W JOHN BRENNAN and W DANIEL SCHNEIDER, Defendants 1-060. Relief from judgment or order. TO VACATE JDUGMENTS FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION 1 COMES NOW, Plaintiff Payne to place this court on mandatory judicial notice of authorities of motion to vacate judgments. 2 To be valid and enforceable, a judgment must be supported by three elements: (1) the court must have jurisdiction of the parties; If the requirements for validity are not met, a judgment may be subject to avoidance. 1 3 Any judgment rendered by a court which lacks jurisdiction, either of the subject matter of the parties, or lacks inherent power to enter the particular judgment, or entered an Order which violated due process or was procured through extrinsic or collateral fraud, is null and void, and can be attacked at any time, in any court, either directly or collaterally, provided that the party is properly before the court. 2 4 Such a judgment is void from its inception, incapable of confirmation or ratification, and can never have any legal effect. 3 5 A void judgment must be dismissed, regardless of timeliness if jurisdiction is deficient. 5 6 When rule providing relief from void judgments is applicable, relief is mandatory and is not discretionary. 4 7 The passage of time, however great, does not affect the validity of a judgment 6 and cannot render a void judgment valid. 7 8 The limitations inherent in the requirements of due process of law extend to judicial, as well as political, branches of the government, 8 so that a judgment may not be rendered in violation of those constitutional limitations and guaranties. 9 9 A court may not render a judgment which transcends the limits of its authority, 10 and a judgment is void if it is beyond the powers granted to the court by the law of its organization, even where the court has jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter. 11 10 A void judgment may be cured Mandamus. 12 11 Res judicata does not apply to a void judgment motion.
13 13 A judgment is irregular where its rendition is contrary to the course and practice of the courts; 16 that is, where proper rules of practice have not been followed, or where some necessary act has been omitted or has been done in an improper manner.17 14 A court is authorized by statute to entertain jurisdiction in a particular case only, and undertakes to exercise the jurisdiction conferred in a case to which the statute has no application, the judgment rendered is void.1815 A judgment is void when the court lacks jurisdiction of the parties or of the subject matter, 19 lacks the inherent power to make or enter the particular order involved, 20 or acts in a manner inconsistent with due process of law.21 16 The judgment of a court without hearing or giving a party an opportunity to be heard is not a judicial determination of its rights, 22 and is not entitled to respect in any other tribunal. 23 1 See Peduto v.

Void judgment was one of the best kept secrets of the legal industry.
| There is a reason we paid for filing fees at the New Mexico
appellate court level.
Good case number to file to void judgment .. if, of course, second judicial district doesn't void judgment and no settlements. Let's do Brennnan et al soon ... if we don't settle, of course. See (4)You can see our receipts for 12 person jury trial lawsuits in Exhibit A, Exhibit C, Exhibit E, Exhibit G, Exhibit H, Exhibit K and Exhibit L all for prima facie cases which we paid more than $250 each. Look at the receipts: three are for $297 and two are for $322 [against former judge W John Brennan]. Note that we appealed through NM appellate and supreme courts. And, as a result, have open case numbers under which to file, unless we don't settle, of course. 1-060. Relief from judgment or order. A. Clerical mistakes. Clerical mistakes in judgments, orders or parts of the record and errors therein arising from oversight or omission may be corrected by the court at any time of its own initiative or on the motion of any party and after such notice, if any, as the court orders. During the pendency of an appeal, such mistakes may be so corrected before the appeal is docketed in the appellate court, and thereafter while the appeal is pending may be so corrected with leave of the appellate court. B. Mistakes; inadvertence; excusable neglect; newly discovered evidence; fraud, etc. On motion and upon such terms as are just, the court may relieve a party or his legal representative from a final judgment, order or proceeding for the following reasons: (1) mistake, inadvertence, surprise or excusable neglect; (2) newly discovered evidence which by due diligence could not have been discovered in time to move for a new trial under Rule 1-059 NMRA; (3) fraud (whether heretofore denominated intrinsic or extrinsic), misrepresentation or other misconduct of an adverse party; (4) the judgment is void; (5) the judgment has been satisfied, released or discharged, or a prior judgment upon which it is based has been reversed or otherwise vacated, or it is no longer equitable that the judgment should have prospective application; or (6) any other reason justifying relief from the operation of the judgment. The motion shall be made within a reasonable time, and for reasons (1), (2) and (3) not more than one-year after the judgment, order or proceeding was entered or taken. A motion under this paragraph does not affect the finality of a judgment or suspend its operation. This rule does not limit the power of a court to entertain an independent action to relieve a party from a judgment, order or proceeding, or to set aside a judgment for fraud upon the court. Writs of coram nobis, coram vobis, audita querela and bills of review and bills in the nature of a bill of review, are abolished, and the proceeding for obtaining any relief from a judgment shall be by motion as prescribed in these rules or by an independent action. |

| Analyst, Sandia Settle Suit
Employee Fired After Backhacking
Shawn Carpenter, the cybersecurity analyst fired by Sandia National Laboratories after backhacking in search of overseas computer intruders, has settled his lawsuit with Sandia. Carpenter won a $4.7 million jury verdict against Sandia in February in Bernalillo County District Court, including more than $2 million in punitive damages. He testified that after detecting intrusions he believed compromised national security, he took his concerns to his bosses at Sandia, who turned a deaf ear, prompting him to go outside his chain of command to the Army Research Laboratory and ultimately the FBI. Sandia officials said that Carpenter had violated policy and breached protocols and that he was treated as any other employee would have been. The judgment has been on appeal by Sandia - and earning 15 percent interest in the meantime. The settlement sends the case back to the district court for dismissal. Neither side would comment on the specifics of the confidential settlement. "We're satisfied with the agreement and pleased to put the case behind us," Sandia spokesman Michael Padilla said. Carpenter's attorney Phil Davis had no comment. Carpenter and his wife, Jennifer Jacobs, moved to the D.C. area in 2005 to take new jobs. Carpenter is still a forensics analyst in network detection for a private corporation, NetWitness, and teaches at conferences and seminars. Jacobs, a former Sandia nuclear engineer and one-time White House fellow who was affected by her husband's termination, is a consultant for McKenzie & Co. "I'm actually having a lot of fun and still feel like I'm having an impact on national security work," Carpenter said Wednesday. In his new job, he said he is able to have a hand in developing the product. Members of the intelligence community, federal agencies and the military are among clients, he said.

| Judge upholds $4.3 million jury award to fired
Sandia lab analyst ALBUQUERQUE (AP) - A judge has upheld a $4.3 million verdict against Sandia National Laboratories in the case of a fired cybersecurity analyst who went to federal authorities with information alleging national security breaches. State District Judge Linda Vanzi on Tuesday denied Sandia's motion for a new trial or to reduce the punitive damages to zero. Sandia spokesman Michael Padilla said the lab will appeal. ![]() |
Sandia Labs President comments of losing Sandia Hacker
lawsuit.![]() Jury Awards Sandia Hacker $4 Million from PAGE Al ments, body armor and more but he testified that his bosses told him to concern himself only with Sandia. After agonizing discussion with his wife, then a Sandi researcher and later a White House fellow, he instead reached out almost immediately to the Army Research Laboratory. He eventually was passed t the FBI and share his findings with that agency during a series of meetings, some of which he recorded. Although Carpenter had told line supervisors he was working with an unspecified outside agency, Sandia fully learned of his work when the FBI talked to Sandia counterintelligence. Less than three months later, Sandi officials fired him after meetings in which no minutes were taken and no record made until after the fact. Jury forewoman Alex Scott said jurors were upset by the lack of documentation of the process and by the "reckless behavior on the part of Sandia to not have adequate policies in place for employees about hacking, and the cavalier attitude about national security and global security. Jurors were not unanimous, however. The civil jury required 10 of the 13 to vote on a question before moving to the next one Juror Elizabeth Bornholdt, a retired home economist, said she did not believe Carpenter had done all he could to secure authorization for backhacking before going outside Sandia with the information. She said the case wasn't as "cut and dried" as some jurors saw it. She voted against liability for Sandia, but even she said the corporation had been "lax" about following up when Carpenter told his supervisors that he was working with an outside agency. And she said top management "didn't seem to know what was going on." Juror David Miertschin, architect, said he found "egregious" the comments made by Sandia counterintelligence chief Bruce Held during a meeting to decide Carpenter's fate. Held told Carpenter that if he'd been working for him and had done such unauthorized work, he would have been "decapitated, or at least would have left the room bloody." Held said the comment was a relic of his earlier CIA career and he was reprimanded for it, but Miertschin said he was disturbed by how Held and subsequent witnesses minimized the comments. The special verdict form submitted to the jury does not disclose the numerical breakdown of the vote. Carpenter cried as the verdict was read. Jurors later hugged Carpenter as he joined his lawyers in the jury room. Sandia released a statement saying an appeal was under consideration. "We are disappointed with the verdict but still maintain that when employees step beyond clear boundaries in a national security setting, there should be consequences" Sandia spokesman Michael Padilla said. Carpenter, now working with a top-secret clearance for a State Department contractor is the in the Washington, D.C., area, said he felt a powerful sense of exoneration. But even before the verdict, he said he would be happy to have had his day in court. "The point for us all along was this is bad for the country to have contractors like Sandia Corp. behaving this way - with impunity," said his wife, Jennifer Jacobs, a nuclear engineer and West Point graduate who testified in the trial. "And if other citizens don't do this, it's the beginning of the end for our country. That's what we have to do,because it's what we expect of others. |
