BACKGROUND
20
need for the premises of this controversy to be clear and understandable and that it is long overdue for
21
the Missouri Attorney Generals office to provide a substantive and complete and competent opinion
22
regarding the nature of the freedom of the people and specifically Plaintiff, within Missouri, takes up
23
the issues presented by the learned Assistant Attorney General and her motions to dismiss and invites
24
same to show by what authority the City and State profess to act respecting the controversy now before
25
this court respecting Plaintiffs Right of Action emanating from his own private domain vs. The
26
City/State's Right to enforce regulations emanating from it's public domain.
Plaintiff, not waiving his right to default judgment in this case, if any is forthcoming, recognizes the
27 28
Plaintiff contends and has adequately represented in the documents filed in this case; identifying the
29
Law, the Principals of Freedom and Self Governance and the attending Rights of Action associated
30
with his Life, his Liberty and his Property, all being solely within his own private domain, and that
31
same are superior to statutory rights of governments respecting the attending premise and are at the
32
heart of this controversy, to wit;
33 34
Plaintiffs Affidavit of Citizenship Status (exhibit D filed in this action and entered here as if written in
35
full) fairly describes, and supports with Law and Principles of this society, the bright line boundary
36
existing around his own private domain, within which he possesses sole Dominion, and across which
37
the public domain of the State, city, and county or their agents may not intrude upon without Plaintiffs
william duff
Page 1
9/10/2007
( 38
CONSENT or evidence of his injury to another's person or property (bad act). To do so would be an
39
injury to plaintiff. As such, there exists no Lawful authority for the State/City or its agents to trespass
40
into plaintiffs own private domain against his will or without his bad act that could activate a public
41
domain interest, even if it appears to some that such trespass might well be a "GOOD IDEA".
42 43
ANALOGY; The one Law of this Society no one is excused not to know is; "We have agreed
44
not to harm (injure) one another". In comprehension of that law, Plaintiffs neighbor has no
45
lawful authority to trespass upon plaintiffs own private domain without injuring plaintiff. Nor
46
does plaintiffs neighbor enhance his lawful authority or lawful capacity to act in this regard by
47
combining his lawful authority with others in this society through the democratic process, in
48
that all those other neighbors also don't possess the lawful authority to injure Plaintiff. If an
49
individual could not compel plaintiff to comply with his will without injuring plaintiff, under
50
no circumstances could a collection of his equals (peers) do so without injuring Plaintiff. And
51
further, that collective could not lawfully hire an agent to take that action on their behalf
52
without injuring Plaintiff. Since the state/city acquire all of its power and public domain from
53
the collective people themselves (as hired agents), through the democratic elements of our
54
society, The State/City also could not possibly have lawful authority to trespass upon Plaintiffs
55
own private domain without injuring Plaintiff, in that the collective people did not have that
56
power to grant to its agent as a lawful form of action where the action injures one of the people
57
the State was instituted to secure the Rights to Life, Liberty and Property of the people
58
themselves, not even if the collective believed that grant to be a "GOOD IDEA". This
59
principle operates in the same way and for the very same reasons respecting a state/city's
60
attempted trespass upon the public Domain of the Federal Government. Federal Supreme
61
Court decisions are replete with cases denying the state such trespass, (see in-depth reasoning
62
of "private vs. public domain" at www. wiiliamduff. com ) The State cannot claim it doesn't'
63
understand this principle and at the same time expect to be taken seriously.
64 65
Obviously, Plaintiff does not consent respecting defendants charges and actions, nor have defendants
66
asserted that plaintiff has injured anyone or thing. Those facts are material to this controversy and
67
made unassailable by defendants own admissions. The offices held by defendants possessed of no
68
lawful authority to exceed its Lawful bounds, and no capacity to do so, save the choices of action made
william duff

I
r
69
by the holder of that office; the defendants. It is manifest to plaintiff that defendants had to have
70
vacated their offices in order to perform the acts complained of here.
71 72
Plaintiff claims to possess Sovereign Immunity from the charges by defendants respecting the actions
73
defendants complain of, and plaintiff so stated and noticed these facts to defendants prior to defendants
74
bad acts (see Exhibit A of Plaintiffs action) and to the muni court in which defendants sought remedy
75
for the charges they made (see plaintiffs answer to the charges) and in plaintiffs Notice and Demand,
76
also filed as exhibit in this action. As such, defendants acts must clearly be willful and wanton if in
77
fact the actions complained of by defendants are actually rights of action belonging to plaintiff as
78
plaintiff contends.
79 80
Plaintiffs action sits to determine that very question. A mere claim of a statutory authority by the
81
State is not sufficient evidence that the State actually possesses the authority claimed. When a
82
reasonable challenge by one of the people is made to the States/Cities authority that challenge
83
necessarily implicates an action in the nature of a Writ of Quo Warranto; Show by what authority
84
does the State/City acts. A statutory claim, would not meet that duty. A statute is a claim by the State
85
of authority. It is not proof of the authority itself.
86 87
Should defendants wish to claim they were compelled in their bad acts by other office holders, this
88
Plaintiff will accept affidavits from each defendant naming those office holders and plaintiff will
89
gladly add them as defendants in this action seeking trespass on the case or vicarious liability.
90
91
REBUTTAL
92 93
Plaintiff invites this court to take cognizance of the facts and law applicable to this case as contained
94
herein and in all the documents heretofore filed in this action by plaintiff and that filed as Answer to
95
charges brought by defendants in the Muni Court of Kansas City, Mo. and all are entered here as if
96
written in full.
97 98
Defendant's Motion to dismiss (1) fails to comprehend the nature of this action and (2) wrongly
99
"presumes" the muni court to have jurisdiction of the person of this Plaintiff and the subject matter,
william duff
Page 3
9/10/2007
( 100
excepting, of course, by unlawful usurpation attended by force of arms. As such, the sufficiency of
101
defendants pleading is wanting, to wit;
102
103
(1) This action seeks damages for injuries done by defendants in that the injurious acts exceeded
104
the authority of the office of trust they held and were therefore a colorable assertion of
105
authority. This action also seeks, in the nature of Quo Warranto, a clear statement of; By what
106
Lawful Authority defendants claim to have acted? That element alone would stay the muni
107
proceedings until that question is explored and adjudicated.
108
(2) This action seeks to assert Plaintiffs Right of Action as is referenced above and in the
109
documents filed in this case. This action makes no attempt to diminish the Municipal Courts
110
lawful jurisdiction but only to determine the Rights of Plaintiff. The Municipal Court does not
111
have the will, means, or authority to do so in its limited and inferior nature. The Rights of
112
action being adjudicated in this court of record must first be decided before it can be assumed
113
that the city possesses lawful authority to proceed in said Municipal Action. The State of
114
Missouri's Judiciary has never adequately explored the premise presented here, though the
115
judiciary claims to have settled the issue. If plaintiff is wrong I invite proof to the contrary.
116
Defendants' motion for dismissal fails to comprehend these unassailable facts.
117
(3) In rebuttal of defendant's "factual background", defendant's assertions, and all of them are in
118
error and obviously only serves as an attempt to obscure Plaintiffs bright line boundary
119
guarding his domain so that persons holding an office of trust have a plausible but wholly
120
unlawful cover story for entering into Plaintiffs domain for the purpose of diminishing his
121
dominion thereof, to wit: plaintiff denies that he "resides" in Kansas City when that term is
122
legalese for him being a United States citizen "residing" anywhere. He is not and therefore
123
does not, He exists within his own private property at all times relevant to this action as has
124
been carefully described throughout the documents filed in this case. Defendants and their
125
superiors have never provided any competent evidence to the contrary. Cities, counties and
126
State office holders merely make the claim of authority, as defendants have done here, without
127
any competent proof whatsoever that the claim is actually within their grant of power, and
128
typically whatever court is hearing the matter accepts the claim on its face as evidence without
129
proof. This act alone injures plaintiff especially when he provides unassailable, competent
130
evidence of the facts he provides. Defendants facts are merely claims with nothing to support
william duff

( 131
them beyond the testimony of government office holders who are completely incompetent to
132
testify before this court on any related issue without there being two non government witnesses
133
in support. Defendant's Facts are in error for the following reasons; Plaintiffs 1996 Buick is
134
not a "motor vehicle" as such term is comprehended by Missouri Statute. The car is private
135
property (chattel) belonging solely to William Duff and if it is anybody's business, he uses it to
136
travel upon the "public right of way" for his own personal enjoyment and enterprise, (see City
137
of Chicago v. Collins et al., 175 111. 445, 51 N.E. 907 (Oct. 24, 1898) copy of the full decision
138
attached and accented on point.); Respecting the license plate issue, defendants characterize it
139
thusly: "2). Plaintiff also admits that the vehicle was not registered in Missouri and bore a
140
license plate that Plaintiff fashioned himself" while the simple fact is that plaintiff has
141
attached his private tag to his car as an inducement for people like defendants to ignore him
142
and said tag represents no license as comprehended by the statute. It is merely camouflage
143
being used for good cause in a world full of predators. Irrespective of that fact, the tag is
144
the property of Plaintiff, and defendants taking of it can only be characterized as theft.
145 146
ARGUMENT
147 148
The action filed by defendants in the muni court is one of "presumed authority" to compel Mr. Duff to
149
use his property only in a way that is authorized by the State/city but with willful and wanton disregard
150
of plaintiffs unwillingness to consent thereto upon subject matter that exists solely within Plaintiffs
151
own private domain and without defendants alleging competent facts supporting an injury done by
152
plaintiff to another, while this action is one that seeks to explore that presumption and agree or
153
disagree therewith. Between the two jurisdictions, this jurisdiction is the only one that can fairly
154
negotiate and accomplish that exploration and render a dispositive judgment as to its validity. As such
155
this court is not robbing the muni court of its jurisdiction, it is simply staying the muni adjudication
156
while this court decides the greater issue; That being; if Plaintiff does have a right of action that covers
157
the acts complained of by defendants and has not ceded that right of action to the State/city the
158
presumption of authority would be unfounded. It must be irrelevant that a decision on the greater issue
159
in favor of plaintiff would void the muni action. The greater issue must first be decided before the
160
lesser issue can lawfully continue.

As an anecdote, Plaintiff recognizes defendant's demur and is grateful for the admissions to all facts alleged herein.
168
all the facts alleged by Plaintiff in this action. Further, it appears that the law is the only remaining
169
issue. Plaintiff also invites this court to take cognizance of the fact that defendants have provided no
170
law in this case that would or even could assail the law provided by Plaintiff in that, all cases cited by
171
defendants emanate from a democratic process supporting a statutory jurisdiction that fails to
172
comprehend, let aione, rebut the subject matter at issue.
COGNIZANCE REQUESTED: Defendants, by and through their attorney and their first motion to dismiss have provided admission to
173 174
Defendants, by and through their attorney and their motion to dismiss replevin, have again asserted
175
authorities applicable only to people operating according to State license and all the cases cited reflect
176
that fact. Plaintiff has demonstrated he does not operate his domain according to State license.
177
Defendants also fail to show an ownership interest in Plaintiffs 1996 Buick, by the State, that could
178
alter Plaintiffs right to own all; right, title and interest, in said property nor that the person who
179
claimed to own all right title and interest therein and who passed same to Plaintiff either did not so
180
own. Defendants have failed to provide any competent evidence that Plaintiff operates or is compelled
181
to operate according to State license respecting his use of his Rights to Liberty and property or that
182
plaintiff has no right to contract with others respecting his property. Defendants make claims but
183
provide no substantial proof in support.
184 185
AND THERE IS THE ISSUE AT CONTROVERSY;
By What authority. Not Claim of
186
authority (statute, decisional law upon statutes). But By what authority does the state claim to
187
determine, compel or prohibit Plaintiff's choice of use of Plaintiff's private property that exists solely
188
within plaintiff's domain within which only Plaintiff owns and possesses sole dominion, and where
189
plaintiff has caused injury to no other. When the Attorney Generals office provides competent
190
evidence that comprehends and answers this simple question in favor of the State, Plaintiff will cease
191
being a legal burden on this society and seek a society that actually comprehends and respects the
192
principles of freedom and protection of Rights to Life. Liberty and Property this society was founded
193
on.

IN SUMMARY;
196 197
Defendant's, twice now, have declared plaintiffs action "fails to state a claim upon which relief could
198
be granted", and twice now, have supported their arguments with court decisions who's subject matter
199
represents people acting in accordance with State License or permission to do something. Even though
200
the documents, evidence and assertions filed in this action scream; "BY WHAT AUTHORITY
201
SHOULD A FREE MAN (specifically plaintiff) BE COMPELLED TO GET STATE LICENSE FOR
202
ACTS PERFORMED WITHIN HIS OWN PRIVATE DOMAN THAT INJURE NO ONE?".
203
Defendants continue to cite rules and rulings that comprehend only what one can do in accordance
204
with State License. Defendant makes no attempt to answer the central question posed in this action.
205
Further, defendants consistently use evidences this court could not take cognizance of,even if it were
206
inclined to do so, in that all comprehend a statutory jurisdiction, foreign to the jurisdiction of this court
207
and which fail to comprehend protected common law rights of plaintiff.1 Defendant's have failed or
208
refused to address this subject matter, from its outset. Defendants imply that a State interest exists in
209
the property and rights being adjudicated here but finish short of defining exactly what that interest is.
210
Conversely, plaintiff has carefully outlined and defined each interest in detail, which by their premise
211
fully support plaintiffs claim of Dominion over his private domain. As such it is defendant who fails
212
to state a defense this court could provide remedy for, not plaintiff. If fraud is to be found in actions of
213
the parties, it is defendants who embrace it, not plaintiff.
214 215 216 217 218
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff moves this court to deny Defendant's Motions to Dismiss for good cause shown and for all other consideration this court can and should provide.
219 1
Article 34 of the Magna Carta (Great Charter of freedom that was made the law of this land by the Framers of our Constitution and is therefore part of the birthright of every American) 34. Henceforth the writ which is called Praecipe shall not be served on any one for any holding so as to cause a free man to lose his court.{ "Praecipe" = order to show cause against property. "Rights" are property. A free man (i.e. nobleman) has his own land and people (slaves). The king may not force a nobleman into the king's court in such a way that the nobleman wouid be deprived of his own court.) As such, "failure to state a claim" is not available in a court of record proceeding according to the common law in this case because the entire subject matter is contained within plaintiffs domain.
