Re:

CI-16-05815 Preliminary Injunction for Emergency Relief


Recording and Scanning of Case Is Not Readable

Dear Mr Goldman,
1. Libel and Slander
Two TORTS that involve the communication of false information about a person, a group, or
an entity such as a corporation. Libel is any Defamation that can be seen, such as a writing,
printing, effigy, movie, or statue. Slander is any defamation that is spoken and heard.
Collectively known as defamation, libel and slander are civil wrongs that harm a reputation;
decrease respect, regard, or confidence; or induce disparaging, hostile, or disagreeable opinions
or feelings against an individual or entity. The injury to one's good name or reputation is affected
through written or spoken words or visual images. The laws governing these torts are identical.
To recover in a libel or slander suit, the plaintiff must show evidence of four elements: that the
defendant conveyed a defamatory message; that the material was published, meaning that it was
conveyed to someone other than the plaintiff; that the plaintiff could be identified as the person
referred to in the defamatory material; and that the plaintiff suffered some injury to his or her
reputation as a result of the communication.
2. 04.Unsworn falsification to authorities.
(a)In general.--A person commits a misdemeanor of the second degree if, with intent to
mislead a public servant in performing his official function, he:
(1)makes any written false statement which he does not believe to be true;
(2)submits or invites reliance on any writing which he knows to be forged, altered or
otherwise lacking in authenticity; or
(3)submits or invites reliance on any sample, specimen, map, boundary mark, or other
object which he knows to be false.
(b)Statements "under penalty".--A person commits a misdemeanor of the third degree if
he makes a written false statement which he does not believe to be true, on or pursuant to
a form bearing notice, authorized by law, to the effect that false statements made therein
are punishable.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, LANCASTER, PA Stan J. Caterbone and Advanced Media Group
have given a NOTICE of COMPLAINT to the United States of America, et.al., regarding Civil
Rights Lawsuit which will be filed in Federal Courts, the Eastern District Court for Pennsylvania in the
near future.
On May 11, 2016 the article Court rejects man's claim that Lancaster County's residents
are torturing him with mind controlBy Matt Miller of Pennlive.com, reported the following:
Rest easy, residents of Lancaster County. The state Superior Court says Stanley
Caterbone can't sue you for stalking him and messing with his mind. A panel of that court
deep-sixed Carterbone's case in an opinion Judge Paula Francisco Ott issued Tuesday. Quite frankly, Ott
wrote, Caterbone gave the state judges no firm explanation of what he was claiming or what sort of
remedy he was after. Her court's ruling upholds an August 2015 decision by county Judge Jeffery D.
Wright to dismiss Caterbone's lawsuit as frivolous. According to Ott, Caterbone, acting as his own
lawyer, filed the case in county court against the "residents of the county of Lancaster, Pennsylvania,"
seeking an order to halt abuse he claims he was suffering at their hands. The Lancaster man accused
countians of participating in "organized stalking and/or electronic and mind manipulation torture being
committed against him," Ott noted. Also, she wrote, Caterbone asked the county judge to enlist the
local news media in a campaign to inform countians (Lancaster) to stop mistreating him.
Since that article the "organized stalking and/or electronic and mind manipulation torture being
committed against him (Stan J. Caterbone)," has escalated in a fevered pitch that can only elicit one
outcome if left without countermeasures murder, suicide, and or a prolonged deep psychosis.
After the collection of authentic transcripts from other Targeted Individuals, including NSA
Whistleblower Karen Stewart, U.S. Army Intelligence Officer Julianne McKinney, and expert, advocate,
and world renowned lecturer Dr. Nick Begich, Stan J. Caterbone is now ready to file the complaint. In
2009 President Barach Obama, Robert Gates, former Secretary of Defense and former Director of the
CIA, and the National Security Agency, or NSA were all named in a similar complaint in the Lancaster
County Court of Common Pleas, case no. CI-08-13373, CATERBONE v. the Duke Street Business
Center, et.al.,. That case is still listed as OPEN in the Lancaster County Prothonotary Office.
The complaint will be filed under 42 U.S. Code 1983 - Civil action for deprivation of rights.
In summary the statute reads Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or

usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the
United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or
immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in
equity, or other proper proceeding for redress, except that in any action brought against a judicial officer for an

act or omission taken in such officers judicial capacity, injunctive relief shall not be granted unless a
declaratory decree was violated or declaratory relief was unavailable. For the purposes of this section,
any Act of Congress applicable exclusively to the District of Columbia shall be considered to be a

statute of the District of Columbia.


Case law involving the following will be cited:

5.

6.

Federal Sovereign Immunity Harvard Law School Federal Budget Policy Seminar
The Pennsylvania Castle Doctrine
U.S. Intellectual Property Law
RICO - Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act
United States Bill of Rights
The Legal Prohibition Against Torture

The prohibition against torture is firmly embedded in customary international law, international
treaties signed by the United States, and in U.S. law. As the U.S. Department of State has noted, the
"United States has long been a vigorous supporter of the international fight against tortureEvery unit
of government at every level within the United States is committed, by law as well as by policy, to the
protection of the individual's life, liberty and physical integrity" [U.S. Department of State, "Initial
Report of the United States of America to the UN Committee Against Torture." Oct 15, 1999. (15 Nov.
2001)]. That commitment should not be abandoned. Indeed, it must be deepened as the world
watches how the U.S. responds to the challenges before it. If the U.S. were to condone torture by
government officials or foreign governments in its fight against terrorism, it would betray its own
principles, laws, and international treaty obligations. It would irreparably weaken its standing to oppose
torture elsewhere in the world. And it would provide a handy excuse to other governments to use
torture to pursue their own national security objectives.1

Stan J. Caterbone/Advanced Media Group Biography


Present - Advanced Media Group, President, Owner, and Founder.
In 1987 I became a federal whistleblower for the case of local defense contractor International Signal
and Control, or ISC. ISC was a black ops program for the NSA and CIA that was convicted in 1992 for
an elaborate scheme to arm Iraq and other Middle Eastern countries with a broad array of weapons,
most notably cluster bombs. It was the third larges fraud in U.S. History at that time. I have been a
victim of organized stalking since 1987 and a victim of electronic and direct energy weapons since 2005.
I had also been telepathic since 2005. In 2005 the U.S. Sponsored Mind Control turned into an all-out
assault of mental telepathy; synthetic telepathy; hacking of all electronic devices; vandilism and thefts
of personal property, extortions, intellectual property violations, obstruction of justice; violations of due
process; thefts and modifications of court documents; and pain and torture through the use of directed
energy devices and weapons that usually fire a low frequency electromagnetic energy at the targeted
victim. This assault was no coincidence in that it began simultaneously with the filing of the federal
action in U.S. District Court, or CATERBONE v. Lancaster County Prison, et. al., or 05-cv-2288. This
assault began after the handlers remotely trained/sychronized Stan J. Caterbone with mental telepathy.
The main difference opposed to most other victims of this technology is that I am connected 24/7 with
the same person who declares telepathically she is a known celebrity. Over the course of 10 years I
have been telepathic with at least 20 known persons and have spent 10 years trying to validate and
confirm their identities without success. Most U.S. intelligence agencies refuse to cooperate, and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Attorney's Office refuse to comment and act on the
numerous formal complaints that are filed in their respective offices. Most complaints are focused on
the routine victimization's of a targeted individual including but not limited to stalking, harassment,
threats, vandalism, thefts, extortion, burglaries, false imprisonments, fabricated mental health warrants
or involuntary commitments, pain and torture to the body, and most often the cause of obstruction of
justice is the computer hacking.
I have a very sophisticated and authentic library of evidence of the use of U.S. Sponsored Mind Control
technologies on my father and brother that dates back to the 1940's while my father was in the U.S.
Navy after he graduated with honors from Air Gunners School in Florida, including an affidavit motorized
and authenticated by my father in 1996. My brother served in the U.S. Air force and was victim to LSD
experiments of the infamous MKULTRA program in the late 1960's.
In 2015 I filed an amicus curie on behalf of Lisa Michelle Lambert who was convicted in 1992 of the
murder of Laurie Show, both of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I currently am in litigation in the U.S. Third
Circuit Court of Appeals and in February of 2016 Lisa Michelle Lambert published her book titled
Corruption in Lancaster County My Story, which is available in bookstores and on Amazon.com. I
am in frequent contact with her co-author, Dave Brown of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

In 2009 I Proposed an ORGANIZED STALKING AND DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPONS HARASSMENT BILL
to Pennsylvania House of Representative Mike Sturla (Lancaster, Pennsylvania) and City of Lancaster
Mayor Richard Gray in 2009. The draft legislation is the work of Missouri House of Representative Jim
Guest, who has been working on helping victims of these horrendous crimes for years. The bill will
provide protections to individuals who are being harassed, stalked, harmed by surveillance, and
assaulted; as well as protections to keep individuals from becoming human research subjects, tortured,
and killed by electronic frequency devices, directed energy devices, implants, and directed energy
weapons. I again reintroduced the bill to the Pennsylvania General Assembly in 2015 and frequented
the Pennsylvania Capitol trying to find support and a sponsor; which I still do to this day.
In 2006 I began his role as an Activist Shareholder for Fulton Financial, which is listed as "FULT" on the
NASDAQ stock exchange. As a founder of Financial Management Group, Ltd., a full service financial firm,
Stan J. Caterbone has drawn upon the success in developing the strategic vision for his company and
the experience gained in directing the legal affairs and public offering efforts in dealing with Fulton
Financial. I have been in recent discussions with the Fulton Financial Board of Directors with regards to
various complaints dealing with such issues as the Resource Bank acquisition and the subprime failures.
I believe that Fulton Financial needs management to become more aggressive in it's strategic planning
and the performance it expects from it's management team in order to increase shareholder value.
Expanding the footprint of the regional bank has not yielded an increase to the bottom line that is
consistent with the expectations of shareholders. Lancaster County has seen several local banking
institutions acquired by larger regional banks, thus increasing the competition Fulton Financial will see in
it's local marketplace as well as in it's regional footprint.
In 2005 I, as a Pro Se Litigant filed several civil actions as Plaintiffs that are in current litigation in the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, the United States Third District
Court of Appeals, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, The Pennsylvania Superior Court, the
Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania, The Court of Common Pleas of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
These litigations include violations of intellectual property rights, anti-trust violations, and interference
of contracts relating to several business interests. Central to this litigation is the Digital Movie, Digital
Technologies, Financial Management Group, Ltd,/FMG Advisory, Ltd., and its affiliated businesses along
with a Federal False Claims Act or Federal Whistleblowers Act regarding the firm of International Signal
and Control, Plc., (ISC) the $1Billion Dollar Fraud and the Export violations of selling arms to South
Africa and Iraq. This litigation dates back to 1987. Stan J. Caterbone was a shareholder of ISC, and was
solicited by ISC executives for professional services. The Federal False Claims Act is currently part of
RICO Civil Complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and the
Third Circuit Court of Appeals, as docket no. 05-2288.
In 2005 Advanced Media Group/Project Hope filed a Civil Action in the Court of Common Pleas of
Lancaster County against Drew Anthon and the Eden Resort Inn for their attempts to withhold the
Tourism Tax and Hotel Tax that supports the Downtown Lancaster Convention Center & Marriot. We also
proposed an alternative plan to move the Convention Center to the Hotel Brunswick and Lancaster
Square to all of the major stakeholders. The Lancaster County Convention Center is finally under
construction with a March 2009 Opening date.
In 2005 I was selected to attend the Clinton Global Initiative in New York City after submission of
an essay with and application. I received the invitation from Bruce R. Lindsey, Chief Executive Officer of
the William J. Clinton Foundation.
In 2005 I began our philanthropic endeavors by spending our energies and working with such
organizations as; ONE.org, Livestrong.org, WoundedWarriors.org, The Clinton Global Initiative,
Lancaster Convention Center Authority, Lancaster Chamber of Commerce, Toms Project Hope, People to
People International, GlobalWarming.org, Contact Lancaster/24 Hour Suicide Hotline, Schreiber Pediatric
Center, and numerous others.

In 2004 I embarked on our past endeavors in the music and entertainment industries with an emphasis
on assisting for the fair and equitable distribution of artists rights and royalties in the fight against
electronic piracy. We have attempted to assist in developing new business models to address the
convergence of physical and electronic mediums; as it displaces royalties and revenues for those
creating, promoting, and delivering a range of entertainment content via wireless networks.
In 2000 to 2002 I developed an array of marketing and communication tools for wholesalers of the
AIM Investment Group and managed several communication programs for several of the company
wholesalers throughout the United States and Costa Rica. We also began a Day Trading project that
lasted until 2004 with success.
In 1999 I developed a comprehensive business plan to develop the former Sprecher Brewery, known as
the Excelsior Building on E. King Street, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. This plan was developed in
conjunction with the Comprehensive Economic Development Plan for the Revitalization of Downtown
Lancaster and the Downtown Lancaster Convention Center for the former Watt & Shand building.
In 1999 I contributed to the debate, research, and implementation of strategies to counter the effects
of the global Y2K threat to the worlds computer technologies. I attended the U.S. Sponsored Y2K
symposium and Conference in Washington, D.C. hosted by the Senate Y2K Subcommittee and Senator
William Bennett.
In 1998 I had began to administer the charity giving of Toms Project Hope, a non-profit organization
promoting education and awareness for mental illness and suicide prevention. We had provided funding
for the Mental Health Alliance of Lancaster County, Contact Lancaster (The 24/7 Suicide Prevention
Hotline), The Schreiber Pediatric Center, and other charitable organizations and faith based charities.
The video "Numbers Don't Lie" have been distributed to schools, non profit organizations, faith based
initiatives, and municipalities to provide educational support for the prevention of suicide and to bring
awareness to mental illness problems.
In 1996 I had done consulting for companies under KAL, Inc., during the time that I was controller of
Pflumm Contractors, Inc., I was retained by Gallo Rosso Restaurant and Bar to computerized their
accounting and records management from top to bottom. I had also provided consulting for the
computerization of accounting and payroll for Lancaster Container, Inc., of Washington Boro. I was
retained to evaluate and develop an action plan to migrate the Informations Technologies of the Jay
Group, formally of Ronks, PA, now relocated to a new $26 Million Dollar headquarters located in West
Hempfield Township of Lancaster County. The Jay Group had been using IBM mainframe technologies
hosted by the AS 400 computer and server. I was consulting on the merits of migrating to a PC based
real time networking system throughout the entire organization. Currently the Jay Group employees
some 500 employees with revenues in excess of $50 Million Dollars per year.
In 1993 I was retained by Pflumm Contractors, Inc., as controller, and was responsible for saving the
company from a potential bankruptcy. At that time, due to several unpaid contracts, the company was
facing extreme pressure from lenders and the bonding insurance company. We were responsible for
implementing computerized accounting, accounting and contract policies and procedures, human
resource policies and procedures, marketing strategies, performance measurement reporting, and
negotiate for the payment of unpaid contracts. The bonding company was especially problematic, since
it was the lifeline to continue work and bidding for public contracts. The Bank of Lancaster County
demanded a complete accounting of the operations in order to stave off a default on the notes and loans
it was holding. We essentially revamped the entire operation. Within 3 years, the company realized an
increase in profits of 3 to 4 times its previous years, and record revenues.

In 1991 I was elected to People to People International and the Citizen Ambassador Program, which
was founded by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956. The program was founded to To give
specialists from throughout the world greater opportunities to work together and effectively
communicate with peers, The Citizen Ambassador program administers face-to-face scientific, technical,
and professional exchanges throughout the world. In 1961, under President John F. Kennedy, the State
Department established a non-profit private foundation to administer the program. We were scheduled
to tour the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe to discuss printing and publishing technologies with
scientists and technicians around the world.
In 1990 I had worked on developing voice recognition systems for the governments technology think
tank - NIST (National Institute for Standards & Technology). I co-authored the article Escaping the Unix
Tar Pit with a scientist from NIST that was published in the magazine DISC, then one of the leading
publications for the CD-ROM industry. Today, most all call centers deploy that technology whenever you
call an 800 number, and voice recognition is prevalent in all types of applications involving
telecommunications.
In 1989 I had founded Advanced Media Group, Ltd., and was one of only 5 or 6 U.S. domestic
companies that had the capability to manufacture CD-ROM's. We did business with commercial
companies, government agencies, educational institutions, and foreign companies. I performed services
and contracts for the Department of Defense, NASA, National Institution of Standards & Technology
(NIST), Department of Defense, The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and the
Defense Mapping Agency, Central Intelligence Agency, (CIA), IBM, Microsoft, AMP, Commodore
Computers, American Bankers Bond Buyers, and a host of others. I also was working with R.R,
Donnelly's Geo Systems, which was developing various interactive mapping technologies, which is now a
major asset of Map Quest. Map Quest is the premier provider of mapping software and applications for
the internet and is often used in delivering maps and directions for Fortune 500 companies. We had
arranged for High Industries to sell American Helix, the manufacturer of compact discs, to R.R. Donnelly.
We had brokered a deal and the executives from Donnellys Chicago headquarters flew to Lancaster to
discuss the deal and perform due diligence of the manufacturing facility located in the Greenfield
Industrial Park.
In 1987 Power Station Studios of New York and Tony Bongiovi retained me as executive producer
of a motion picture project. The theatrical and video release was to be delivered in a digital format; the
first of its kind. We had originated the marketing for the technology, and created the concept for the
Power Station Digital Movie System (PSDMS), which would follow the copyright and marketing formula
of the DOLBY technology trademark.
We had also created and developed marketing and patent research for the development and
commercialization of equipment that we intended to manufacture and market to the recording industry
featuring the digital technology. Sidel, Gonda, Goldhammer, and Abbot, P.C. of Philadelphia was the lead
patent law firm that We had retained for the project. Power Station Studios was the brainchild of Tony
Bongiovi, a leading engineering genius discovered by Motown when he was 15. Tony and Power Station
Studios was one of the leading recording studios in the country, and were responsible for developing Bon
Jovi, a cousin. Power Station Studios clients included; Bruce Springsteen, Diana Ross, Cyndi Lauper,
Talking Heads, Madonna, The Ramones, Steve Winwood, and many others. Tony and Power Station
Studios had produced the original Sound Track for the original Star Wars motion picture. It was
released for distribution and was the number one Sound Track recording of its time.
Tony Bongiovi was also active in working and researching different aerospace technologies. * We had
developed and authored a Joint Venture Proposal for SONY to partner with us in delivering the Digital
Movie and its related technologies to the marketplace. The venture was to include the commercialization
of technologies, which Tony Bongiovi had developed for the recording industry simultaneously with the
release of the Digital Movie.

I also created the concept for the PSDMS trademark, which was to be the Trademark logo for the
technology, similar to the DOLBY sound systems trademark. The acronyms stand for the Power Station
Digital Movie System. Today, DVD is the mainstay for delivering digital movies on a portable medium, a
compact disc.
In 1987 I had a created and developed FMG Mortgage Banking, a company that was funded by a major
banking firm in Houston Texas. We had the capability to finance projects from $3 to $100 million dollars.
Our terms and rates were so attractive that we had quickly received solicitations from developers across
the country. We were also very attractive to companies that wanted to raise capital that include both
debt and equity. Through my company, FMG, we could raise equity funding through private placements,
and debt funding through FMG Mortgage Banking. We were retained by Gamillion Studios of Hollywood,
California to secure financing of their postproduction Film Studio that was looking to relocate to North
Carolina. We had secured refinancing packages for Norris Boyd of and the Olde Hickory and were in the
midst of replacing the current loan that was with Commonwealth National Bank. We had meetings and
discussions with Drew Anton of the Eden Resort, for refinancing a portion of his debt portfolio. We were
quickly seeking commitments for real estate deals from New York to California. We also had a number of
other prominent local developers seeking our competitive funding, including Owen Kugal, High
Industries, and the Marty Sponougle a partner of The Fisher Group (owner of the Rt. 30 Outlets). We
were constantly told that our financing packages were more competitive than local institutions.
In 1986 I had founded Financial Management Group, Ltd (FMG); a large financial services organization
comprised of a variety of professionals operating in one location. We had developed a stock purchase
program for where everyone had the opportunity for equity ownership in the new firm. FMG had
financial planners, investment managers, accountants, attorneys, realtors, liability insurance services,
tax preparers, and estate planners operating out of our corporate headquarters in Lancaster. In one
year, we had 24 people on staff, had approximately 12 offices in Pennsylvania, and
several satellite offices in other states. We had in excess of $50 million under management, and our
advisors were generating almost $4 million of commissions, which did not include the fees from the
other professionals. We had acquired our own Broker Dealer firm and were valued at about $3 to $4
million.
In 1985 I developed the Easter Regional Free Agent Camp, the first Free Agent Camp for the
Professional Football industry; which was videotaped for distribution to the teams scouting departments.
(See Washington Post page article of March 24, 1985) Current camps were dependant on the team
scouts to travel from state to state looking for recruits. We had developed a strategy of video taping the
camp and the distributing a copy, free of charge to the teams, to all of the scouting departments for
teams in all three leagues FL, CFL and WFL. My brother was signed at that camp by the Ottawa
Roughriders of the CFL, and went on to be a leading receiver while J.C. Watts was one of the leagues
most prominent quarterbacks. My brother also played 2 years with the Miami Dolphins while Dan Marino
was starting quarterback. We were a Certified Agent for the National Football League Players
Association. Gene Upshaw, the President of the NFLPA had given me some helpful hints for my camp,
while we were at a Conference for agents of the NFL. The Washington Post wrote a full-page article
about our camp and associated it with other camps that were questionable about their practices.
Actually, that was the very reason for our camp. We had attended many other camps around the
country that were not very well organized and attracted few if any scouts. We had about 60 participants,
with one player coming from as far away as Hawaii. We held the camp at Lancaster Catholic, with a
professional production company filming the entire camp, while I did the editing and produced the video.
The well respected and widely acclaimed professional football scout, Gil Brandt, of the Dallas Cowboys,
had given me support for my camp during some conversations We had with him and said he looked
forward to reviewing the tapes for any hopeful recruits.

In 1985 I was elected Vice President of the Central Pennsylvania Chapter of the International
Association of Financial Planners, and helped build that chapter by increasing membership 3to 4 times.
We had personally retained the nationally acclaimed and nationally syndicated Financial Planner, Ms.
Alexandria Armstrong of Washington D.C.; to host a major fundraiser. More than 150 professionals
attended the dinner event that was held at the Eden Resort & Conference Center. Ms. Armstrong
discussed financial planning and how all of the professions needed to work together in order to be most
effective for their clients. We attracted a wide variety of professionals including; brokers, lawyers,
accountants, realtors, tax specialists, estate planners, bankers, and investment advisors. Today, it has
become evident that financial planning was the way of the future. In 1986 executives approached us
from Blue Ball National Bank to help them develop a Financial Planning department within their bank.
In 1984 I had helped to develop strategic planning for Sandy Weill, former President of Citi Group (the
largest banking entity in the U.S). We were one of several associates asked to help advise on the future
of Financial Planning and how it would impact the brokerage and the investment industry at large. Mr.
Weil was performing due diligence for the merger of American Express and IDS (Investors Diversified
Services). We were at that time a national leader in the company in delivering Fee Based Financial
Planning Services, which was a new concept in the investment community and mainstream investors.
That concept is now widely held by most investment advisers.

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT


FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA
CATERBONE and ADVANCED MEDIA GROUP (Plaintiffs)
v.
LANCASTER CITY BUREAU OF POLICE, et. al., (Defendants)
Case No. 08-cv-02982
DEFENDANTS
CITY OF LANCASTER
CITY OF LANCASTER MAYOR RICK GRAY
SECTOR 9 OF THE LANCASTER CITY BUREAU OF POLICE
LANCASTER CITY POLICE CHIEF KEITH SADDLER
LANCASTER CITY BUREAU OF POLICE
CIVIL COMPLAINT
INTRODUCTION
1. Stanley J. Caterbone (CATERBONE) and Advanced Media Group were located at 220 Stone Hill
Road, Conestoga, Pennsylvania (Conestoga Township) until August 30, 2006 when CATERBONE
temporarily moved into a family residence at 1250 Fremont Street, Lancaster, Pennsylvania (City
of Lancaster).
2. The PLAINTIFF, Stanley J. Caterbone (CATERBONE), alleges that the City of Lancaster and the
Lancaster City Bureau of Police and others colluded to deliberately ignore CATERBONES
complaints, an abuse of process, in an effort to retaliate, subvert, interrupt and deter current and
ongoing litigation and civil complaints against several major businesses and government agencies
with headquarters in the City of Lancaster and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Those would
include the Lancaster General Hospital; High Industries (not Penn Square Partners and the
Lancaster County Convention Center); Fulton Bank and Fulton Financial Corporation; a Wachovia
Bank branch (pending); Lancaster Newspapers; the County of Lancaster; the Lancaster County
Prison; the Hotel Brunswick (pending); James Street Investment District (pending); Aurora Films;
Haverstick Films (pending); and the Lancaster City Bureau of Police. The City of Lancaster and the
Lancaster City Bureau of Police are derelict in their duties in forcing CATERBONE to litigate for
duties and services due CATERBONE that are mandated in the bylaws of the City of Lancaster.
3. CATERBONE also alleges that the Lancaster City Bureau of Police were used to retaliate,
subvert, interrupt and deter other litigation and civil complaints against other police departments,
namely the Southern Regional Police Department, the Manheim Township Police Department, the
East Lampeter Police Department, the Millersville Boro Police, the Avalon Police Department and
the Stone Harbor Police Department. CATERBONE alleges that Southern Regional Police Chief John
Fiorill used is official capacity as President of the Red Rose Chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police
to help accomplish these civil torts.
4. CATERBONE alleges that by ignoring his complaints the Lancaster City Police Bureau of Police
gave the green light, or approval, for others to continue a long and successful period of
harassment, thievery, property damage, computer and electronic hacking, deletion and
manipulation of court related documents, records and evidence, mail fraud, eaves dropping,
invasion of privacy, criminal trespass, and the like. These activities are so intense that they have
taken on the characteristics of a hate crime.
5. CATERBONE alleges that the gross abuse and gross negligence defamed his name and that of
his company, ADVANCED MEDIA GROUP, which discredited his reputation in an effort to diminish
credibility in the courts; to thwart any reprimands by oversight agencies; and to disrupt and
thwart any possible business relations and operations of ADVANCED MEDIA GROUP. This has
resulted in direct and immediate financial loss, loss of time, and loss of income.
6. Chief Keith Sadler and the Lancaster City Police Bureau rejected and refused to resolve these
disputes through mediation when CATERBONE opened a case with the Lancaster Center for

Mediation in May of 2008. Keith Sadler communicated to the Lancaster Mediation Center on May
8, 2008 that he would not cooperate and mediate with CATERBONE.
7. On several occasions in 2007 several police officers of the Lancaster City Bureau of Police
instructed CATERBONE, in person upon responding to complaints, not to call 911 or the Lancaster
City Police Department and that the Lancaster City Bureau of Police would not respond or take
complaints.
8. The Lancaster City Bureau of Police only took one (1) incident of gas siphoned and stolen from
CATERBONEs 1991 Dodge pickup truck, and refused to take the over 50 (from December 20,
2007 to present), or so other incidents as a complaint, regardless of the efforts to have Lancaster
City Mayor Rick Grey and the Lancaster City Solicitor to look into the allegations and complaints.
CATERBONE had meticulously documented the incidents in a journal and a log of gas receipts,
photographs, and odometer miles for all of the incidents. CATERBONE also made a thorough and
documented calibration of his 1991 Dodge Dakota Pick-Up truck with logs of mileage and times
and dates of gas purchases in a report to prove the gas was stolen. Lancaster City Police Bureau
Officer Cosmore returned the report with such words as counterfeit, fake, written on it and had
the audacity to ask CATERBONE if he had a certification of the gas pumps that were listed on
gas receipts. There were some days when the gas was stolen 2 or more times. CATERBONE
alleges that perpetrators were using a kerosene battery operated siphon, or like kind, to siphon
the gas from the gas tank.
9. The Lancaster City Bureau of Police had responded to approximately 10 or so 911 calls in the
last eighteen (18) months to 1250 Fremont Street, residence of CATERBONE, for complaints of
property damage; stolen property, missing legal and business files and evidence for litigation;
computer and electronic hacking with deleted electronic files; harassment; terrorist threats,
stalking, stolen mail, etc.,.
10. CATERBONE had complained of abuse of process to state and federal law enforcement
regarding the situation, including U.S. Senator Arlen Specters office. CATERBONE had also visited
the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in both Harrisburg and Philadelphia for help and
intervention.
11. CATERBONE also had personal meetings with Lancaster City Mayor Rick Gray in Lancaster City
Hall on at least 4 occasions to find a solution to the problems and for help to mediate the
problems and or resolve the conflicts. The resulting pain and suffering, as well as loss and
destruction of property and financial loss that CATERBONE was undergoing was unprecedented.
12. In November of 2007, CATERBONE and the Advanced Media Group went public with their
Downtown Lancaster investments and business plans that were culminated over the past 9 years.
The Advanced Media Group also formerly and publicly introduced their Downtown Lancaster Action
Plan via handouts, websites, and blogs; and began meetings and negotiations with major
stakeholders, City of Lancaster Public Officials, Developers, and investors.
13. In 1997 CATERBONE had solicited Attorney Christina Rainville of Philadelphia and pro bono
attorney for Lisa Michelle Lambert in the Laurie Show murder case. The murder trials and appeals
of the Lambert case demonized Ms. Christina Rainville and U.S. District Court Judge Stewart
Dalzell. After CATERBONE submitted documents and audio recordings, Ms. Christina Rainville had
communicated with CATERBONE that she was not able to take his case due to the fact that her
Philadelphia law firm had banned her from taking on any more Lancaster County residents,
despite the fact that many more sought her legal counsel. On December 31, 1997, CATERBONE
had also personally delivered a CD-ROM to the chambers of U.S. District Court Judge Stewart
Dalzell in an effort to bring attention to his case. In May of 1998 CATERBONE submitted an
AFFADAVIT to the law firm of Schneider and Harrison outlining the prosecutorial misconduct or
Finding of Facts of the 1987 cover-up for Ms. Christina Rainville. CATERBONE alleges that these
facts were part of the attitude and the motives for the law enforcement-at-large of Lancaster
County and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to ignore the rule of law and procedure in order to
bring these false arrests and malicious prosecutions. The Lancaster County community-at-large
had the same attitude toward CATERBONE. The Lambert case received national notoriety when

U.S. District Judge Stuart Dalzell freed Lambert on a Habeus Corpus appeal hearing citing she was
actually innocent beyond a reasonable doubt. Judge Dalzell was quoted in chambers as saying,
"I can tell you, Mr. Madenspacher, that I've thought about nothing else but this case for over three
weeks, and in my experience, sir, and I invite you to disabuse me of this at oral argument, I want
you and I want the Schnader firm to look for any case in any jurisdiction in the English-speaking
world where there has been as much prosecutorial misconduct, because I haven't found it. The
case was covered by a 3 part series in the Los Angeles Times by writer Barry Seigel on November
10, 1997 and a television episode on the A&E Network American Justice Series. The Lancaster
community gathered over 10,000 signatures on a petition to impeach U.S. District Judge Stewart
Dalzell for his rulings. In the end, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania took control of the case and
appealed the ruling that freed Lambert sending her back to prison. The case went all the way to
the U.S. Supreme Court in 2005, after being denied any review. The case accentuated the rights
of Federal Law vs. State Law and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania solicited a team of attorney
generals from across the nation to help their cause. CATERBONE attended a hearing before former
Lancaster County Court Common Pleas Judge Larry Stengel in the Lancaster County Court of
Common Pleas. To this day, due to his knowledge and experience with the Lancaster County
Judicial System and Law Enforcement, and his own dire civil complaints, CATERBONE believes that
the over zealous prosecution proves that prosecutorial misconduct was never thoroughly
investigated or prosecuted in the Lambert case. CATERBONE will not let that happen in his cases.

CAUSES OF ACTION
14. On or about April 14, 2008 1999 HP Notebook n5150 laptop was rendered useless by an
intruder shorting the power cord. This was the third computer rendered useless since November of
2007, and the last computer available for use in the home and office. Other incidents were
happening while at 220 Stone Hill Road, Conestoga, PA since 1997. The only computer available
for use was the public computer at the Lancaster County Library on North Duke Street in
downtown Lancaster.
15. On March 18, 2008 CATERBONE went to the Hotel Brunswick in Downtown Lancaster to
continue take measurements of the Movie Theater for his continued efforts of a business and
development plan. (The Brunswick Movie Theater, or Eric, had been closed since 1995.
CATERBONE and Advanced Media Group had an agreement with the Owner of the Brunswick,
Hamid Zahedi, to make a formal proposal and offer for leasing the site. CATERBONE had begun
discussions in 2006.) On March 18, 2008 CATERBONE noticed that the United States Department
of Justice Office of Trustee was conducting hearings for Chapter 11 petitioners in the Presidential
Room of the Hotel Brunswick. CATERBONE had not received ORDERS from his United States Third
Circuit Court of Appeals Case No. 08-3054 for his appeal of an issue in his Chapter 11 Case No.
05-23059. CATERBONE alleged that the ORDERS were stolen or never mailed from the clerk of
courts. CATERBONE thought maybe Dave Adams, the trustee for the United States Department of
Justice Office of Trustee might be conducting the hearings. The following day CATERBONE received
a disturbing email from Mr. Barry A. Solodky, Esquire, of Blakinger, Byler & Thomas, P.C., 28 Penn
Square, Lancaster, PA 17603. CATERBONE had known Mr. Solodky since the 1980s and had even
solicited him to review his bankruptcy matters before the Appllent filed his Chapter 11 case on
May 23, 2005. The following email exchanges detail the incident and the false reports and
allegations from a member of Blakinger, Byler & Thomas, P.C.:

Privacy Act Statement

The vast majority of the law enforcement officers in this country perform their very difficult jobs with
respect for their communities and in compliance with the law. Even so, there are incidents in which this is
not the case. This document outlines the laws enforced by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ)
that address police misconduct and explains how you can file a complaint with DOJ if you believe that
your rights have been violated.
Federal laws that address police misconduct include both criminal and civil statutes. These laws cover
the actions of State, county, and local officers, including those who work in prisons and jails. In addition,
several laws also apply to Federal law enforcement officers. The laws protect all persons in the United
States (citizens and non-citizens).
Each law DOJ enforces is briefly discussed below. In DOJ investigations, whether criminal or civil, the
person whose rights have been reportedly violated is referred to as a victim and often is an important
witness. DOJ generally will inform the victim of the results of the investigation, but we do not act as the
victim's lawyer and cannot give legal advice as a private attorney could.
The various offices within DOJ that are responsible for enforcing the laws discussed in this document
coordinate their investigation and enforcement efforts where appropriate. For example, a complaint
received by one office may be referred to another if necessary to address the allegations. In addition,
more than one office may investigate the same complaint if the allegations raise issues covered by more
than one statute.
What is the difference between criminal and civil cases?

Feedback Form

Criminal and civil laws are different. Criminal cases usually are investigated and handled separately from
civil cases, even if they concern the same incident. In a criminal case, DOJ brings a case against the
accused person; in a civil case, DOJ brings the case (either through litigation or an administrative
investigation) against a governmental authority or law enforcement agency. In a criminal case, the
evidence must establish proof "beyond a reasonable doubt," while in civil cases the proof need only
satisfy the lower standard of a "preponderance of the evidence." Finally, in criminal cases, DOJ seeks to
punish a wrongdoer for past misconduct through imprisonment or other sanction. In civil cases, DOJ
seeks to correct a law enforcement agency's policies and practices that fostered the misconduct and,
where appropriate, may require individual relief for the victim(s).

Federal Criminal Enforcement


It is a crime for one or more persons acting under color of law willfully to deprive or conspire to deprive
another person of any right protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States. (18 U.S.C.
241, 242). "Color of law" simply means that the person doing the act is using power given to him or her by
a governmental agency (local, State, or Federal). A law enforcement officer acts "under color of law" even
if he or she is exceeding his or her rightful power. The types of law enforcement misconduct covered by
these laws include excessive force, sexual assault, intentional false arrests, or the intentional fabrication
of evidence resulting in a loss of liberty to another. Enforcement of these provisions does not require that
any racial, religious, or other discriminatory motive existed.
What remedies are available under these laws?
Violations of these laws are punishable by fine and/or imprisonment. There is no private right of action
under these statutes; in other words, these are not the legal provisions under which you would file a
lawsuit on your own.

Federal Civil Enforcement


"Police Misconduct Provision"
This law makes it unlawful for State or local law enforcement officers to
engage in a pattern or practice of conduct that deprives persons of rights
protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States. (42 U.S.C.
14141). The types of conduct covered by this law can include, among other
things, excessive force, discriminatory harassment, false arrests, coercive
sexual conduct, and unlawful stops, searches or arrests. In order to be
covered by this law, the misconduct must constitute a "pattern or practice" -- it
may not simply be an isolated incident. The DOJ must be able to show in
court that the agency has an unlawful policy or that the incidents constituted
a pattern of unlawful conduct. However, unlike the other civil laws discussed
below, DOJ does not have to show that discrimination has occurred in order to
prove a pattern or practice of misconduct.
What remedies are available under this law?
The remedies available under this law do not provide for individual monetary
relief for the victims of the misconduct. Rather, they provide for injunctive
relief, such as orders to end the misconduct and changes in the agency's
policies and procedures that resulted in or allowed the misconduct. There is
no private right of action under this law; only DOJ may file suit for violations of
the Police Misconduct Provision.

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964


and the "OJP Program Statute"
Together, these laws prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, and religion
by State and local law enforcement agencies that receive financial assistance from the Department of
Justice. (42 U.S.C. 2000d, et seq. and 42 U.S.C. 3789d(c)). Currently, most persons are served by a
law enforcement agency that receives DOJ funds. These laws prohibit both individual instances and
patterns or practices of discriminatory misconduct, i.e., treating a person differently because of race,
color, national origin, sex, or religion. The misconduct covered by Title VI and the OJP (Office of Justice
Programs) Program Statute includes, for example, harassment or use of racial slurs, unjustified arrests,
discriminatory traffic stops, coercive sexual conduct, retaliation for filing a complaint with DOJ or
participating in the investigation, use of excessive force, or refusal by the agency to respond to
complaints alleging discriminatory treatment by its officers.
What remedies are available under these laws?
DOJ may seek changes in the policies and procedures of the agency to remedy violations of these laws
and, if appropriate, also seek individual remedial relief for the victim(s). Individuals also have a private
right of action under Title VI and under the OJP Program Statute; in other words, you may file a lawsuit
yourself under these laws. However, you must first exhaust your administrative remedies by filing a
complaint with DOJ if you wish to file in Federal Court under the OJP Program Statute.

Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990


and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 prohibit discrimination against individuals with
disabilities on the basis of disability. (42 U.S.C. 12131, et seq. and 29 U.S.C. 794). These laws
protect all people with disabilities in the United States. An individual is considered to have a "disability" if
he or she has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities,
has a record of such an impairment, or is regarded as having such an impairment.
The ADA prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in all State and local government programs,
services, and activities regardless of whether they receive DOJ financial assistance; it also protects
people who are discriminated against because of their association with a person with a disability. Section
504 prohibits discrimination by State and local law enforcement agencies that receive financial assistance

from DOJ. Section 504 also prohibits discrimination in programs and activities conducted by Federal
agencies, including law enforcement agencies.
These laws prohibit discriminatory treatment, including misconduct, on the basis of disability in virtually all
law enforcement services and activities. These activities include, among others, interrogating witnesses,
providing emergency services, enforcing laws, addressing citizen complaints, and arresting, booking, and
holding suspects. These laws also prohibit retaliation for filing a complaint with DOJ or participating in the
investigation.
What remedies are available under these laws?
If appropriate, DOJ may seek individual relief for the victim(s), in addition to changes in the policies and
procedures of the law enforcement agency. Individuals have a private right of action under both the ADA
and Section 504; you may file a private lawsuit for violations of these statutes. There is no requirement
that you exhaust your administrative remedies by filing a complaint with DOJ first.
