vs. ) Division

) K.S.A.Chapter 60

ERIC MUATHE, )

Defendant, )

SECOND MOTION TO STRIKE PLAINTIFF'S PLEADINGS

AND REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENTS

COMES NOW, the Defendant, Eric M. Muathe, as himself and Pro-Se who files this

motion alleging and stating as follows:

1. Defendant incorporates, and references, the Defendant's June 14th, 2018 Motion to

Strike Plaintiffs Pleadings here.

2. Even after Defendant filed the previous Motion to Strike Plaintiffs Pleadings

attorney's for Plaintiff went ahead, and yet again, filed two pleadings on June 21st,

2018 in the subject matter case without sending the pleadings, or notifying

Page 1 of6
Defendant in any shape, or form, that new pleadings had been filed. See the attached

summarized docket printout.

3. Defendant found out that there had been new pleadings filed when Defendant went

online to check on the case docket on July 8th, 2018.

4. It is important to note that this is not the first time that pleadings have not been sent

to Defendant by attorneys from the same Lathrop Gage LLP law firm. Attorney

Matthew Hubbard similarly had not been mailing hard copy pleadings to Defendant

as per his certificate of services. Attorney Matthew Hubbard does not dispute

this fact. The difference being that attorney Matthew Hubbard had sent Defendant a

copy of his court fillings via email but neglected to send Defendant hard copies as

per his certificate of service. See the attached, Nov 16th, 2016, email communication.

5. Here no service of filed pleadings of any kind have been sent to Defendant since

January 25th, 2018.

6. Defendant recently filed attorney complaints, dated June 18th, 2018, against

Plaintiffs attorneys [ehan K. Moore, and Michael J. Abrams. The complaints were

centered on the attorneys filing pleadings in the case, and not sending Defendant

any copies of these pleadings. See attached complaints.

7. It should be noted that since the Defendant's June 18th, 2018 attorney complaints,

Plaintiffs attorneys have mailed Defendant a four-page pleading from a separate

pending federal court case using priority mail. See the attached copy of the envelope

and pleading.

Page 2 of6
8. Until attorney's for Plaintiff stopped serving Defendant pleadings they had filed in

this case the record will reflect that Defendant had never missed any deadlines, or

failed to respond to any pleading in a timely manner, or failed to appear for any

hearing. It is impossible for any party to respond to phantom pleadings, or unknown

deadlines, or appear in undisclosed hearings.

9. Since summary Judgment pleadings tend to be voluminous then typically these

types of mailings are generally converted to priority mail with tracking. As an

example see the attached priority mail envelope, post marked June 1st, 2018, which

was sent from the Lathrop Gage LLP law firm as regards a motion to dismiss that the

law firm had filed in the above referenced federal case. This motion to dismiss (with

memorandum incorporated) had approximately 81 pages.

10. The attorney's for Plaintiff should readily be able to prove that they sent Plaintiff

any pleading via priority mail since January 25th, 2018. Of course, this will not be

possible since no mail has been sent to Plaintiff since January 25th, 2018 as has been

strongly alleged by Defendant.

11. Plaintiffs attorney should easily be able to produce evidence that the summary

judgment pleadings they filed on May 30th, 2018 and May 31st, 2018 were sent to

plaintiff, assuming priority mail was utilized for voluminous mail. Of course, this will

not be possible since no mail has been sent to Plaintiff since January 25th, 2018 as

has been strongly alleged by Defendant.

12. Defendant has yet to see any pleadings Plaintiffs attorneys failed since January

25th, 2018.

Page 3 of6
13. Kansas Rule of Professional Conduct 3.3 Advocate: Candor Toward the Tribunal

states: "a) A lawyer shall not knowingly: (1) make a false statement of fact or law to

a tribunal or fail to correct a false statement of material fact or law previously made

to the tribunal by the lawyer."

14. Defendant alleges and believes that any statement by Plaintiffs attorney alleging

that they have sent Defendant any pleading since January 25th, 2018 is a bad faith

bold faced lie, and a false statement of fact - knowingly and willfully meant to

mislead the Court, and Defendant.

15. It is apparent that severe sanctions are needed here due to the continued failure to

serve defendant even after Defendant filed the June 18th, 2018 attorney ethics

complaints and the June 14th, 2018 motion to strike and motion for sanctions. This

is an abuse of the process and is calculated willful, bad faith, practice aimed at

winning the case without affording the opposing party an opportunity to respond.

REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENTS

Plaintiff requests oral arguments pursuant in part to Supreme Court Rule 133( c)(l).

Supreme Court Rule 133(c)(1) (2017 Kan. S. Ct. R. 198) provides: "A party may

request oral argument-either in the motion or in a response filed by the adverse

party."

Page 40f6
WHEREFORE, Defendant Prays for an order striking ALL of Plaintiffs filings since

January 25th, 2018, and bar Plaintiff from refilling said pleadings, or for any other

just and proper order.

Good Afternoon Matt,

I have been waiting for your discovery responses via regular mail over the last few days I have NOT yet received any1hing' via regular mail as per your November 11th,
2016 certificate of service.

'The mailman just came by today - November 16th, 2016.

I have to, and will, object that there is a disturbing pattern you have now established right from the beginning where your certificates of service say you mailed a
pleading but it never arrives via regular mail, or even worse in one instant it was mailed several days well after the date stated on the certificate of service.

This is improper!

I have been busy with two federal cases and two Kansas court appeals (one moving to the KSC soon) so would like to take a look at your discovery responses but they
have NOT arrived in the mail as per your certificate of service.

Could you send the discover pleadings since I haven't received them.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Eric Muathe

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

This is a complaint against Kansas attorney [ehan K. Moore (KS #22081) of Lathrop
Gage LLP, 2345 Grand Blvd., Suite 2200, Kansas City, MO 64108-2618

As regards a pending Crawford County Kansas foreclose case styled Wilmington Trust N.A.,
vs Eric Muathe et al., case number 14-CV-86P ...

It has come to my attention that since January 25th, 2018 Plaintiffs attorney [ehan K
Moore has filed several pleadings with the court (including a motion for summary
judgment) WITHOUT ANY SUCH PLEADINGS/FILINGS BEING SENT TO ME - THE
DEFENDANT.

Ijust became aware of the filing of these pleadings, around June 12th, 2018, when a case
summary docket print out was attached to a pleading in a currently pending federal court
case styled Eric Muathe vs. Wells Fargo Bank N.A. et a!. CASE NO. 2:18-cv-02064-CM-JTT.

The said docket printout - labeled "Exhibit B" - is attached to this complaint. Defendant is
not aware if any other pleadings have been filed by the Plaintiffs attorney since the June
1st, 2018 date of the above mentioned docket print out.

Defendant believes that - at the very least - failure to follow KS.A 60-205 violates the
Kansas rules of professional conduct - in particular rule 226 - 3.4 Advocate: Fairness to
Opposing Party and Counsel.

Please investigate this matter.

Respectfully submitted,

June 18th, 2018

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

This is a complaint against Kansas attorney Michael J. Abrams (KS#15407) of


Lathrop Gage LLP, 2345 Grand Blvd., Suite 2200, Kansas City, MO 64108-2618

As regards a pending Crawford County Kansas foreclose case styled Wilmington Trust N.A.,
vs Eric Muathe et at case number 14-CV-86P ...

It has come to my attention that since January 25th, 2018 Plaintiffs attorney Michael J.
Abrams has filed several pleadings with the court (including a motion for summary
judgment) WITHOUT ANY SUCH PLEADINGS/FILINGS BEING SENT TO ME - THE
DEFENDANT.

Ijust became aware of the filing of these pleadings, around June 12th, 2018, when a case
summary docket print out was attached to a pleading in a currently pending federal court
case styled Eric Muathe vs. Wells Fargo Bank N.A. et al. CASE NO. 2:18-cv-02064-CM-JTT.

The said docket printout - labeled "Exhibit B" - is attached to this complaint. Defendant is
not aware if any other pleadings have been filed by the Plaintiffs attorney since the June
1st, 2018 date of the above mentioned docket print out.

Defendant believes that - at the very least - failure to follow K.S.A 60-205 violates the
Kansas rules of professional conduct - in particular rule 226 - 3.4 Advocate: Fairness to
Opposing Party and Counsel.

Please investigate this matter.

Respectfully submitted,

By: En~ \'\M)~
