YONKERS, NY: Thomas Courtney Vs. Richard Martinelli

Thomas Courtney Vs. Richard Martinelli.

.S.D.C.,S.D.N.Y. 06 cv 3180------------------ AMENDED AMENDED AMENDED COMPLAINT,Thomas J.P.Courtney followed by separate motionsvs Richard Martinelli,Yonkers City Council and City of Yonkers -------------------- I)Prefatorily1)I state that my methods of pleading and acting arenot "normal" and I apologize for that. But there isnot a great deal I can do about it for I am not"normal",either (as I've been told many times before). 2)From my previous pleadings and very publicrecord,that might be more than a bit glaringlyobvious. And yes, I am sorry if I do thingsdifferently and I beg my colleauges on the federalbench to bear with me,for I have an inordinate amountto say and do...in addition to having a verylegitimate series of actions for wrongs done to me byall the named defendants in this case -as well as inthe two other cases I've mentiond in my separatemotion to consolidate . 3)As a survivor of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI),mymind works like a mirror,reflecting everything that is-and I guess I find it hard to grasp that others donot see the world as I do (to learn more aboutthis,read my separate motion for the court to payfor the testimony of experts at Mount Sinai TBI centerand elsewhere so that I can better establish what itslike to be a TBI survivor). 4)But I'll try to present things in numberedparagraphs like you've asked. If I am not clearenough,I will gladly submit further clarification. Forit is very important that you understand the enormouspossibilities and potential abilities of all TBIsurvivors - and our limitations. 5)Moreover,you ask for a succinct history of whatled up to this particular case -and I find itsomewhat difficult. For this case -like the others-has been in the works for more than 40 years.Fortunately,much of it is in public records: my TBIat 13,my 40 day coma,my 6 months paralysis,myschooling,my admission to the Bar and nearly 20 yearspracticing law in the Bronx and Westchester,mysuspension from practice for "suspicion of mentalillness" because of my behavior at Bronx FamilyCourt,my antics before the Yonkers City Council.. ( NYLJ,2-28-92). 6)My neurosurgeon when I had my TBI in 1962,Dr.Seymour,saw me in 1966 and wrote that I was "ataxicand atonal"...yet today I sing before the Yonkers CityCouncil,the Westchester County Board of Legis-lators,the Yonkers Federation of Teachers... Inaddition,there are numerous records about me bynumerous psychologists,psychiatrists,sociologists,local police depts (including NYC),the FBI,the CIA,the U.S.Army,82nd Airborne,Delta Force.......( maybe I'll even mention my FBI and CIA minderGeorge who was my friend and whom I met on a regularbasis for more than 15 years -up until 2 years agowhen I was told that he died suddenly and his bodywas cremated; and my CIA instructor,Boris/'Doc') andmany others. And some of them I review in my motionfor the court to pay for help to establish thepeculiarities of TBI and TBI survivors. 7) My reputation is widespread and I'm sure it is notone any good and upstanding man would like to have.The number of people who think I'm "crazy" increa-ses everytime someone learns about me (and it beganback in high school at Fordham Prep -ask any of myclassmates;ask any member of the Yonkers City Counciltoday[or 30 years ago] or of the Westchester CountyBoard of Legislators ). Moreover,I made the HeraldStatesman -a Yonkers newspaper- several timesback before I was suspended from practice (inclu-ding pictures) for my antics before the Yonkers CityCouncil (in drag and criticising feminism in afalsetto voice.....) and elsewhere. And,just lastOctober,I was featured on the first page of theJournal News newspaper for my antics before theWestchester County Board of Legislators (seepreviously filed papers) in White Plains (as DennisDay was my cousin,I see no reason why I souldn't singin public too; and I sing songsand make up songs of criticism and protest). 8)Suffice it to say that I am well known throughoutthe area -and elsewhere- for what I have done in thepast and what I do now. It is a guess on my part,butI believe that I would long ago have made the frontpages of most newspapers and been on TV...were it notfor the fact that I detest feminism andultra-liberalism and that I intend to destroy themboth -if only to help all women and the human race.And I say this -and can and will do as I say-precisely because I am disabled,a TBI survivor (seemore on this in my separate motions). 9)But the fact remainsthat it is well known that I am "crazy",that I ammore than "brilliant and talented" and that I ampermanently and totally disabled. And all this andmore was known by Richard Martinelli,the YonkersCity Council Pres.,and the Yonkers City Council longbefore Richard Martinelli permanently banned me fromspeaking before the Yonkers City Council and,when Iprotested by singing our National Anthem at a CityCouncil Public Hearing,threw me in Yonkers City Jail- precisely because of my disability which allows meto see and do what others can not do - further hurtingmy back,spine,legs,ankles... 10)This particular case stands on its own merits -asdo the other two in my motion for consolidation- forwrongs were done to me resulting in much hurt,harm,anguish... And,at the same time,all three cases formparts of my endeavor to re-shape the world.
