Litigation Committee
Dear Committee:
On October 31, 1991 I submitted a docket statement to the
Circuit Court for the District of Columbia in the matter of Huddle.
et. al. v. Reagan et. al., Cr. No 88-3130. I would appreciate
it if this Committee would consider undertaking my representation
in that case.
Since August, 1981 I have been maintaining a continuous
presence for Peace and Justice in Lafayette Park, across the street
from the White House.
Throughout this period I have repeatedly been the target
of police attacks which have resulted in injury to my person,
property, and expressive activity.
To remedy this situation I sought relief from the D.C.
Federal District Court through the case of Huddle v. Reagan.
On May 24, 1991 Judge Joyce Hens Green, dismissed that action'
holding that the plaintiffs had failed to state a claim
During pretrial proceedings Judge Green granted plaintiffs
limited preliminary relief. Police harassment of and interference
with my peaceful activities continues, I think that tile dismissal
of this case was an error.
Enclosed are copies of the Orders of September 13, 1989,
and October 12, 1990 which, I believe, reflect that combination.
of fact exist which would entitle me to relief from the court,
the dismissal Order. and plaintiffs, Motion for Reconsideration.
