I am thinking of bringing a lawsuit to stop the move to Crossville - Opinions Wanted

I am thinking of bringing a lawsuit to stop the move to Crossville -
Opinions Wanted

For the past three days I have been receiving telephone calls and
e-mails from people asking whether I am going to file a lawsuit to
stop Beatriz Marinello from moving the USCF to Crossville, Tennessee.

I am certainly the best person to file such a suit, since I know how
to do it.

However, I tell everybody who calls that such a suit would be VERY
difficult to win. I think it can be won, but not easily. There are
many possible grounds. I would have to spend weeks in the law library
researching these questions to see if these grounds have been
recognized by the courts.

Just about everybody agrees that the late Sunday night telephone vote
to move to the USCF to Crossville was nothing more than a naked power
grab by Beatriz Marinello, who wants to take Bill Goichbergfs job and
to get her hot hands on the $513,000 that that USCF just received by
selling the building in New Windsor.

If there were economic justifications for the move, there would have
been no rush. The members could have been notified in advance and a
public hearing held. No need for late night telephone calls.

Again, however, I need to emphasize that winning this case will be
difficult. We would not actually need to win it. It would be
sufficient just to get a Temporary Restraining Order stopping the move
and delaying it long enough until an election can be held and Beatriz
Marinello thrown out of office.

I am not going to tell you what grounds I have in mind. I do not want
to alert the opponents. However, it should be obvious that to move a
non-profit corporation which has resided in New York State for 60
years since the 1940s to another state especially on a 4-3 vote with
no advance notice raises some legal questions. There were four votes
in favor and three either opposed or abstaining. One of the voters in
favor was not even in the US. She was called in Spain, where she was
vacationing. Is this a proper way to decide the fate and future of an
organization with 90,000 members? Does the executive board even have
the power to make such a decision without notice?

The reason I am posting this now is I want to hear the opinions of
other USCF members. I will not file this lawsuit until I feel that a
majority of the members are in favor of what I am doing.

Therefore, I want to hear your opinions. If a majority seem to be in
favor of my proposed action, I will go forward. Otherwise, not

Please express your views.

My opinion is that you're a moron.

We don't need "free land." We need to save money. How many vacant office
suites are in the New York-New Jersey metro area? I can imagine quite a lot.
And I bet the monthly rental for 4000 square feet of office space is a hell
of lot less than a building is going to cost us. Plus you don't need to move
to some cracker haven like Crossville.

26 employees, a small LAN, and a layout room for a magazine don't need a new
building.

Save your money. Your kids need to eat and you don't have a job. Don't do
it.

Get Gordon Roy Parker (aka Ray Gordon) to file this frivilous lawsuit for
you. You're NOT the best at that. He is.

Jerry,

If only more people thought the way you did! Then I would never have won
election to the USCF Executive Board. Today I would have more free time,
fewer hassles, and a better life.

Sadly, too few people have your keen intellectual penetration. I was able to
hoodwink the voters, and Sam Sloan's virtues went unrecognized.

But as Abraham Lincoln said, you can't fool all of the people all of the
time, even in a democracy. Eventually I will be found out and banished from
the seat of power. And Sam Sloan, that pearl who has so often cast himself
in vain before the swinish electorate, will rise like a star in the east,
and mankind shall not be crucified upon a cross of gold.

D can be safely discarded, for aside from ChessDon and ChessDon
wannabees, no one thinks of Sloan as a journalist. I doubt he suffers
from schizophrenia. A, B, and C are all correct.

Philsy is just a troll who enjoys posting nonsense to get a reaction.
Search for his defense of the alleged word "campel" and his claims
that some twaddle he posted about Henry Miller was actually a
quotation from Orwell.

_________________________
Without even getting to issues of liability and available relief, if
any; my first question would be whether or not you have standing. I
have not and will not research the issue, but I seriously doubt if you
would survive a motion to dismiss on grounds of standing.

Sam Sloan:

1) Has been around the USCF a lot longer than Tim Hanke
2) Provides far more interesting commentary and suggestions about the USCF
than the politicized flacks who serve on its Board
3) Has garnered support from some posters here who are not exactly
captivated by the proclamations of Bill Goichberg or Don Schultz.

Tim Hanke:

1) Has found himself part of a very troubled organization that can't account
for itself.
2) Has discovered that he really can't accomplish anything with the USCF
board, now that he's on it.
3) Is thus reduced to taking shots at unresisting outsiders like Sam Sloan
on chess news groups.

Still think so, Sam? It looks like the Judge is leaning the other way:
"The attorney should address issues such as standing and the
appropriateness of the remedies requested (including the issuance of
an injunction against an official of another state)."

When I first read the decision, I was discouraged for that reason.
However, on reconsideration I feel that I am winning on the big
important issues, which is whether sections 510 and 511 apply. If
those sections do apply, then the only question would be to get the
right sort of plaintiff that the court would have to agree does have
standing.

My conclusion is that I will be successful in the goal of stopping the
move to Crossville. It might turn out that I personally lose my case
but nevertheless somebody else such as the Attorney General of New
York will jump in and stop the move.

Interesting, because I am just finding out about PACER. A law student
called me two days ago saying that she found my cases against the
Republican Party on PACER. According to her, everything I have filed
in court on that case is available on PACER. I am wondering if this is
true. Is somebody scanning in all my documents?

Beatriz Marinello is the head of the gang of thieves that have taken
over USCF. Her henchman is a guy named Hanke, who drives around with
all of USCF's money in a suitcase in the trunk of his car, apparently
because he doesn't trust banks. Marinello and Hanke are like Bonnie &

Horowitz just granted my Petition for an Order to Show Cause.
