Thanks for all those who put that dingbat in place. Going after a person's personal life is a low down leftist nasty trick. It is usually done to distract and deter another agenda. It appears this forum has a very sneaky anti-second amendment lurker. But it is still a free country. At least until the leftists take over . As far as the previous USSC action Nick was involved in all those who may think that case was just about a divorce are sadly ignorant. Mr. Purpura was at one time a multi-millionaire working for a huge financial organization. He uncovered criminal activity and decided he would try to stop it. That is when all the power and resources of that institution turned on him, destroyed his career, his marriage and his bank account. His ex-wife who had blood ties with the big shots used their attorneys to ruin Nick. He fought back, but in the end he lost everything. Properties and bank accounts were seized and he was left with no means of employment and not one penny. His history, devastating as it was to him, is what has given him the experience and know how to not just fight the Federal Court scoundrels in this battle for our civil rights but it has made it possible for him to anticipate their every underhanded move.

Hey Glen and All, We took your advice and sent a letter to FOX News. I attached it here. Thank you for that information and suggestion. I'll let you know if we get a response. On other news, the reformatted Writ has been transcribed and printed and delivered to SCOTUS. We should be getting the SCOTUS filing number later this week. At that time we will begin implementing all the great ideas proffered at last week's meeting. Also we were given permission to deliver the expedite motion to all 9 justices. Those are being mailed today. Finally we will be having some news later this week concerning an addition to our SAPPA Group. This will be a very good step in getting our case accepted. We are thrilled at the prospects of this very professional patriot. That's it for now, Dwight & Nick Letter to Fox News.docx

No reality check needed Buddy If you have been with us from the start you would know we never fooled ourselves for one moment. We knew we had less chance than a snow bunny in a wolf pack. But that did not stop us from trying. Even if we lose this case both Nick and I would do it all over again. Working to save our Second Amendment was not about walking a way with a win. It was purely about doing the right thing. Nick and I never dreamed we would have been able to outlast several groups of high priced attorneys and over see the removal of an incompetent judge. But indeed we did. Our reality is that we tried. We gave it all we had. Left nothing on the table. We have kept this forum informed because we promised to do that. Believe me when I tell you we sometimes got more flack here than from the libs. I haven't had a chance to check your profile so I don't know how old you are. Nick and I operate on the Star Trek mode. You may be too young to know what that is. It is, simply put. No matter the odds if there is one chance in a million to survive, you take it. If we in anyway help to save the second amendment that is all the reality check we need. But thanks for taking the time to comment. Dwight

Hey All, The SAPPA Group posted a Press Release and is in the process of distributing it to the major newspapers. We are putting a link to it here so a few can read it and hopefully pass it on to your local newspapers or favorite website news. Thanks, Dwight and Nick These two filings we just did cost a pretty penny. Nick asked me to thank everyone from this forum who has helped. And boy, it has helped. He intends to send each of you a letter later on when we get a chance to catch our breath. THE SAPPA GROUP 7.27.17 Press Release.pdf

SAPPA GROUP MEETING TIME/PLACE/DATE SET http://www.tpath.org/sappa-meeting-set.html

NJ@AS has worked with us a little. They posted info on their news letter. We here at SAPPA are big supporters of NJ2AS. They have done some great work. As to the group of gun-guys who think this is a long shot and not worth their time, they are correct of course. Their time may be too valuable to taking a chance on righting so many wrongs. But it's been two years and our long shot is still carefully aimed at those who want to destroy our rights. Long shot or not, Nick, Tony, Joe, myself and many others are in it til the bitter end. Countless hours, much money and tons of resources we have already expended. We have no intention of quitting until we have lost or my friends, have won. Dwight

Hi All, Not sure if any of you signed up for our upcoming meeting. There were a few names we did not recognize. I have posted updates and links as I promised. Have not seen much in the way of responses from this forum. But I will continue to honor my promise for the few who wish to be kept informed. There have been some minor changes to our upcoming SAPPA Group meeting. Here is a link to that update. http://www.tpath.org/sappa-update.html Warm regards to all our friends on this forum, Dwight & Nick

The SAPPA Group is holding a stagey meeting. Anyone interested in brainstorming what steps need to be taken or who might have some ideas is welcome. This link will give you the details. http://www.tpath.org/sappa-group-meeting.html The Wed August 2nd date may be moved to the second August Wed in allowance of the Wed 2nd CJR&PC meeting. Dwight

OKAY Guys, A few links that will explain everything. http://www.tpath.org/sappa-group-announcement.html http://www.tpath.org/sappa-news-and-reports.html Dwight & Nick

Okay Guys, Sorry for the delay. Between the Circuit Court and the preps for the Supreme Court we have been very busy. Reading some of the posts here it appears that some think that we announced that the case has been docketed. That is not the case. What has happened is we took a special seldom used Expediting Process and filed it with our Writ. Both the Expediting Docs and the Writ have been sent to the SCOTUS. Some of you may know what the Expediting Process is. For those who do not we will be explaining it and all we have done and what needs to be done to get this case docketed for the October session. We will be posting both documents on TPATH by Tuesday evening. Now that all our work has come to a final phase I am taking Monday off and playing in a police golf outing in Westlake tomorrow. Tuesday we will get everything posted as well as posting a description of what we have had to deal with. One last thing, what we will need now form everyone is to get this lawsuit into the public eye. We will discuss how to do that in Tuesday's report. Thanks all and hope this clears up a few things. We have indeed come a long way. We battled the best attorneys the feds and the state had to offer and we are still standing. Many of them are not, including the District Court Judge. Warm regards, Dwight and Nick

Hey All, Here is a passage form our log. This updates our activity as of this date regarding the SAPPA law suit. Begin: May 17, 2017- It has been several weeks since the last log entry. While much was going on behind the scenes not much was happening that needed to be posted. Now we have new documents to post and information to provide. First, partly relatable to this law suit, Mr. Purpura's application for a NJ carry permit was denied and upon taking that denial before a State Judge, a Republican and an appointee by Christie, his appeal was denied. If there is any doubt about the state of NJ politicians being liberal, just as liberal as the Democrats, this should lay rest to any. Regarding the ongoing lawsuit, we prepared a powerfully built appeal that simply cannot be lost if the Circuit Court rules on the law, precedent and the Constitution but we know for sure that it will be decided based on ideology and all else will be ignored. The appeal which can be seen HERE, was filed on May 4, 2017 a full two weeks ahead of the very brief period the Circuit Court allowed. We were able to do this because, as with most of the other court activity, Mr. Purpura was prepared for the appeals court ruling long before they issued it. Anticipating leftist activity is not particularly difficult for Nick. There is zero chance that the Circuit Court will accept our en banc request to address the full court. They have a long and firm history of not letting facts interfere with their decisions if they run contrary to their political bent. However, the request will be another arrow in our bulging quiver when it comes time to appeal to the Supreme Court. The documentation we have compiled over this past almost two years relating to the delays, misapplication of Federal Laws of the Court, and the various dirty tricks which have been used to stop this legal action will be a good foundation for the ultimate appeal. With the appointment of the 9th Justice and one who has a record of supporting the Constitution, the long delays the two lower courts have employed may actually benefit our case. We await now the response from the Circuit Court after which the preparations for the Supreme Court will begin in earnest. During that period it will e imperative to get some publicity for this case. That is when we will need the help of so many American citizens. end: I have attached the Appeal referenced above. It can also be seen on the TPATH website. www.tpath.org and click on the SAPPA info link. CIRCUIT EN BANC for web.pdf

Yes. We are in the process of filing our response to the Appeal Court. We will file a full report in a few days as to all that has transpired. As we knew they would the Circuit Court ignored law and ruled against us. The reponse we are filing is being prepared with our move to the Supreme Court in mind. Dwight Nick

Hey All, We have made no reports for awhile because, well, there has been no news. However, yesterday the Circuit Court sent us a notification that a 3-Judge Panel will hear our appeal this coming Tuesday, April 11th, 2017. We were told we would not be allowed to be present, not allowed to provide oral arguments. No surprise there. We will be filing a more detailed report on SAPPA pages of www.tpath.org in a day or two. By the way, the 3 judge panel is made up of one Obama appointed judge, one Clinton and one Reagan. Guess how the majority vote will go. Regards, Dwight and Nick

Reply to: "Can this go on for years?" For sure the Circuit Courts are the most difficult to get through. There are ways to push the activity and if that is not done, especially for cases which will require the court to ignore the Constitution and rule ideologically, but Nick has told us not to push it at this time. Right now the SAPPA Group has decided that this delay is beneficial to our case in that if the 3rd Circuit rules against us and it goes to the Supreme Court sitting at only 8 members, a 4 -4 tie would revert the case back to the Circuit Court and their ruling would stand. So while we, on the outside, show concern over the delays, we actually have no problem them in the hope that the 9th Justice being appointed by Trump will turn the tide. He has a great record of supporting the 2nd Amendment. Hope this answers your question. Dwight

Hey All, Thanks so much for all your support and comments. Nick and I and the others working on this almost everyday for over two years really do appreciate it. For the gentleman that thinks I may be "touchy", you bet I am. Because of the work we have done I can't answer my phone anymore and I never open my front door without looking out first to see who is knocking. Only those involved in this can understand what the left does to stop this work. Nick has been threatened with death and the FBI has informed him that his name has been found on a radical website's hit list. So when people who are supposedly on our side, contribute snarky remarks which I see after having made yet another trip back from Trenton, yup, I do get just a bit "touchy". Thanks again to everyone who understands the work and the sacrifices Mr. Purpura has invested in this project. We will be posting another update in a few days, A few things have happened that may be of interest to you. Regards, Dwight & Nick

Cringe away Dude, It our style and directness is what has kept this alive. When you file your next brief or RICO action let us know how you make out. We'd love to see hyperbole-less rhetoric. Dwight

Response to: Anything happening this month? Yes, there are a few things in the works. However the Appeals Court has not made a ruling yet. We are not pushing as we would like Trump's SCOTUS appointment to be in place before we appeal there. Having said that the court swamp in this country has been so badly infested with liberal slime over the past 40 years even the President of the United States can't get either the District COurt or the Circuit court to rule on the law. We are in frightening times fellas. I just hope DJT has some plan for dealing with these critters. If he doesn't, it won't be too long before unarmed Americans will be inundated with terrorists. Dwight

Hey All, As promised here is an update on the federal lawsuit. Rather than rewrite all that has happened I will paste in the latest log entries with active links. Please be advised that at any time you can go to the SAPPA Pages of TPATH to see the documents that have been generated and filed. On another note, but related to our Federal lawsuit, Mr. Purpura has taken on a battle with the Chief of Police in his hometown of Wall. SOme of you may know already that Nick's name turned up on a Jihadist website as a target for death. The FBI informed not just him, but Monmouth County Officials and the Wall Police Department. As a result Nick filed and was denied a carry permit by his Chief of Police. A man named Brice. We are now in the process of appealing that denial in the Superior Court of NJ. We will be posting those documents on a separate web pages very soon. I'll update this forum when we get that done. Here now the latest info and update on our Federal Lawsuit: December 29, 2016- NOTE TO LOG ENTRY: If the Reply Brief we submitted on December 16, 2016 is read, one will see that the defense used a long time defense of claiming Mr. Purpura has no "standing" since he personally was never denied a carry permit. Of course, many times over in several filings it was explained that since no common citizen in New Jersey is ever issued a carry permit, just being a citizen here gives one standing. However, several months ago, Mr. Purpura was contacted by the FBI's Terrorism Task Force and informed that he was on a Jihadist website as a potential target. Mr. Purpura lectures on the Constitution and how Sharia law is at odds with it, which might explain why he is being targeted. But that information encouraged him to apply for a carry permit. Wall Township has been long delaying a determination on his application so we subsequently prepared a letter and sent it to the Police Chief. HERE is that letter. Granted this situation and the associated documents are not technically involved with our lawsuit, but it supports in so many ways, the points which have been made in Mr. Purpura's original Brief filed in the Federal District Court of Trenton. It should be noted here that the letter sent to the Chief post dated the response Nick received on his application. In other words, our letter was sent on December 29, 2016. The Chief's letter was written on the 23rd but not mailed to Nick until December 30th. So his application for a carry permit, as you might expect, was denied but it was denied before they read Nick's letter. Nick will be appealing this denial to the Superior Court of NJ. As is his right. December 16, 2016- ​After some very careful preparation, research and editing we managed to complete the Reply Brief for the Third Circuit. This document has encompassed the three Briefs submitted by the three sets of defense attorneys. As you will recall we were denied the right to submit individual responses to each defendant even though they were allowed to submit three. The entire document that was submitted included not just the Reply Brief you see HERE also included all the required bound volumes for the court and the Defendants. Notice too that we included a Cover Letter with our filing. That letter can be seen HERE as a separate document. It is entitled "Integrity Tainted by Injustice". October 18, 2016- The Jurisdictional Brief was formally submitted to the Circuit Court of Appeals. There may be a panel of just three (3) judges deciding this or the entire Circuit Court group of judges may be involved. Mr.Purpura requested that it go before the entire Court, legally called en banc. We will now have to wait and see just how they will handle this. The filing can be seen HERE. ​ October 15, 2016- Mr. Purpura received a response form Circuit Court regarding his request for page enlargement. They agreed to allow six (6) additional pages. However, since we are working on a deadline, the Brief had gone through its final editing and was complete and ready to be filed without the need for these extra pages. October 5, 2016- Having not received a response from the Circuit Court concerning our enlargement request, the filing was edited down to the 30 page limit and all of us believe this document to be complete, impressive and the information in it will be very hard to ignore. This document will, when filed, have a TitlePage, a table of contents and a list of the authorities we used in its preparation. October 3, 2016- As we struggled to get the Brief down to the 30 page limit Mr. Purpura prepared and sent a letter to the Circuit Court requesting an enlargement of the page limit because the filing would need to encompass three Defense Teams. See that letter HERE. September 20, 2016- Mr. Purpura began the research needed to prove Circuit Court Jurisdiction and working with the SAPPA Group member, Dwight Kehoe, began preparing and editing this very important new filing. This task was monumental in that the information regarding the three Defense Teams needed to be compressed into a 30 page maximum filing. It also needed to include Title Page, indexes and authorities which are required to prove Jurisdiction. September 12, 2016- The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit issued a new Court Order in response to Mr. Purpura's filing which explained that the Circuit Court did indeed have Jurisdiction concerning the District Court's ruling. That Order, which issued a C.A. Number of 16-3173 to this case, changed its earlier Order and issued this new one which indicated that there may in fact be Jurisdiction for them. This is great news because with this new order, we can get much information to the Circuit Court that we feel they need to be aware of. We need to make it clear that this new order does not totally agree with Mr. Purpura concerning Jurisdiction but only that it has agreed to have a panel look at it. This can be considered nothing less than yet another successful maneuver by our own Pre Se, Mr. Nicholas Purpura. The Circuit Court Order can be seen HERE.

Hey All, New updates and information are coming up in several days. Dwight & Nick

Hi, Yes, much is new. We are in process of filing 3 Appeals to the Circuit Court. Appeals that the Court refused to hear because of what they called "lack of jurisdiction". After filing an encompassing letter to the Court, pointing out precedent for what we asked, they changed their mind and decided to look at it. As you know our lawsuit deals with three groups. The executive branch violators, the judicial and the municipal. As a result we need to file a separate Brief in the Appeals Court for each one. Nick and I have prepared and completed the Municipal Brief, the Executive Brief is in its final editing, the Judicial has not been prepared yet as we are awaiting their response to the Circuit Court. They are having trouble, we presume, putting together a defense because they have requested and been granted an extension. We have anticipated much of what they will try and we are pretty well prepared for them. Once the three Appeal Briefs are filed, we will be posting them on the SAPPA Pages of TPATH. I will drop a note here when they are posted. I know many of us had little faith that a pro se could survive even a week against crooked judges and the combined efforts of three groups of professional attorneys, but here we are, almost 18 months and we have witnessed several hot shot lawyers being replaced and a District Court Judge, removed. We know the Circuit Court is trying to find some way they can dump our case, without ruling on the merits. The District Court tried that and those geniuses have been sent packing. If the Circuit Court is foolish enough to try the same thing, it will provide much for our case when it gets to the Supreme Court. Hopefully after Trump appoints a strong 2nd Amendment Justice. Finally, once it leaves the 3rd Circuit and we begin preparing for the Supreme Court, we will for the first time begin asking for help, both monetary and social media wise. Because at that time publicity, publicity, publicity, will be our greatest weapon regarding getting the attention it needs so that the Supreme Court will take special notice of it when deciding which cases to hear. That's all for now. I'll keep you posted. Dwight
