Tommie Perris Crawford: Natural Person, Real Party in Interest, Felon

Post by KickahaOta »

I'm always a bit reluctant to bring up sovcit habeas corpus petitions. That's because there's less likelihood than usual that the filer actually believes the drek they're filing. If you've already been convicted, and you've already exhausted your regular appeal process, and you're stuck sitting in a small well-supervised room with no real travel plans (in the case of Mr. Crawford, until November 7, 2018), there comes a point where a reasonably normal might say "What the hell. It passes the time."

In the case of Mr. Tommie Perris Crawford, however, I'll make the effort, largely because he makes the effort so easy. I am not summarizing here: this is the entire "Petition and Satisfaction of Judgement" that he filed in Kansas state court (despite being a federal prisoner).
IN LEAVENWORTH DISTRICT COURT
LEAVENWORTH COUNTY, KANSAS

CRAWFORD TOMMIE PERRIS, ex rel., Plaintiff,
v.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, et al., Defendant.

PETITION

I, Mr. Tommie Perris Crawford, a natural person and a real party in interest, hereby petition this Court to proceed in rem and enforce the Satisfaction of Judgment herewith registered in this case.

Mr. Tommie Perris Crawford

Temp. c/o UNITED STATES PENITENTIARY
#06613-041
P.O. BOX 1000
LEAVENWORTH, KANSAS 66048
IN LEAVENWORTH DISTRICT COURT

CRAWFORD TOMMIE PERRIS, ex rel., Plaintiff,

Address: 1300 METROPOLITAN
LEAVENWORTH, KANSAS 66048

This non-negotiable document was signed this 11th day of August, 2015 in Leavenworth County, Kansas.

CRAWFORD TOMMIE PERRIS

BY:
Mr. Tommie Perris Crawford, Attorney-in-fact

Temp. c/o UNITED STATES PENITENTIARY
#06613-041
P.O. BOX 1000
LEAVENWORTH, KANSAS 66048
That's it. No attachments, no affidavits, no postage stamps, just the facts.

Since the state court was understandably reluctant to order the state police to mount a raid on Leavenworth, this was duly removed to federal district court, at which point the feds unleashed their dastardly plot and claimed that it was meritless. A Mr. Barry R. Grissom got the dubious pleasure of authoring the motion to dismiss, which was just snarky enough to share.

As it turns out, this is not Mr. Crawford's first battle with the dastardly feds. In fact, it's at least his sixth, as Mr. Grissom helpfully points out in a footnote:
See Crawford v. United States, Case No. 14-3184-RDR (dismissing Crawford’s petition for habeas corpus seeking “immediate nonnegotiable release and delivery of Crawford to an unnamed attorney-in-fact in Columbia Heights, Minnesota); Crawford v. United States, Case No. 14-CV-2024-CM-TJJ (based upon the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge James, Judge Murguia dismisses Crawford’s “Satisfaction of Judgment” claims as frivolous), Crawford v. United States, No. 09-cv-3078-RDR, 2009 WL 1657546, at *1 (D. Kan. June 12, 2009) (Judge Rogers concludes that Crawford was not entitled to relief from his conviction and sentence on his claims arising from a “private bond” as a matter of law and summarily dismissing the action); Crawford v. United States, Case No. 11-3021-RDR (Judge Rogers dismisses as frivolous the “habeas corpus” petition claiming that the indemnity bond that he posted offsets his criminal conviction in the District of Minnesota); Crawford v. U.S. Bureau of Prisons, No. 10-3108-RDR, 2010 WL 2671986, at *1 (D. Kan. June 30, 2010) (same).
Mr. Grissom also includes a section entitled "Crawford vs. Crawford", pointing out that Crawford has, at some point, named himself as a defendant.

The district court succumbed to Mr. Grissom's silver tongue, and the Tenth Circuit affirmed, in an opinion that faults the district court only for failing to dismiss the case sooner.

You have to admire the optimistic "Temp." by his address. He is only temporarily receiving his mail in a penitentiary.

Now, now. There have been some perfectly fine Tom Crawfords, in fields as varied as politics, cricket, sculpture, and military strategy.

Isn't Leavenworth the prison that you have to really try hard to get into? What was Tom Crawford the Septic convicted of?

"Possession of drugs and a firearm", according to the motion to dismiss.
