May 5, 201610 yr Sounds like you guys are promising Dwight - I didnt get a change to read the whole thread but would love to learn more about your case and the plans for the SAPPA - hoping it gives NJ the freedom it deserves after a 9th Justice who upholds the 2A is in there
May 5, 201610 yr Author Follow up on the last update: May 5, 2016- As we mentioned below in the previous update, the speed and intricate attention to detail in which we prepared and filed the Recall and Vacate motion seems to have taken both Court and the defense by surprise. We also noted that it was very possible that the Court would not actually make the May 16th date. Looks like that will be the case. Nick just received a notice from the court that the defense has filed a formal request for an extension of time. The SAPPA Group has a very good reason not to object to their request. We will make that reason known to the public at a later date. Here is the letter we sent to the court regarding our non-objection. Once again we have chosen to provide an undercurrent of sarcasm wrapped in a subtle warning. Our purpose in that is to let them know that Nick is not intimidated by them nor will he allow them to presume they will be allowed to get away with illegal activity. See our letter here>>> RESPONSE TO TIME EXTENSION On another note; Our next steps will require a massive printing and binding of appeal documents. Nick reported this to the CJRPC last night. The members voted unanimously to donate a good portion of the cost for the appeal. Both Nick and I want to extend our warmest regards and thanks to the President John Scott and the membership.

May 6, 201610 yr Author Hi All, Several people has asked through emails and this forum how they can help the SAPPA Group get through these next stages of our lawsuit. Here is a link to the PAY PAL button on the SAPPA page. Anything you give will surely help. HERE If you are not comfortable with PAY PAL you can send a check or money order directly to Nick. Here is his address. If you send a check please put SAPPA in the FOR: line Also, just so you know, any donations to the SAPPA Group will not be tax deductible. Nicholas E. Purpura 1802 Rue De La Port Wall, New Jersey 08724 There are other ways we will need help that will be coming up very soon. Once the Brief is illegally dismissed we will begin preparing for the Third Circuit Court of Appeal. This will take up much of our resources as 40 or more bound copies of the documents on record will need to be prepared and delivered to the appropriate addresses. We will be making a list of those whom need to be served and then ask that some of the supporters of this endeavor volunteer to deliver some of them. When the time comes we will put out a detailed paper on how this needs to be done. Also and even more important, as this moves to the Circuit Court, it will be time to get as much publicity as is possible. We will then be looking for volunteers to call radio stations such as 101.5 and Hannity in an effort to get them interested. The underhanded tactics by the District Court and the Defense should make great talking fodder. So, any of you know people who have spoken to these hosts or have done so yourself, please contact us at [email protected] And we have plans to pay for ads on local cable shows and radio programs. This too will take some considerable financing. Nick and I feel this will be a very important step in this process as these judges will understand that whatever they will see the light of day. Nick and I will be creating a very short scenario that can be used by callers when they get the screeners on the phone. How quickly and interestingly this is proposed to them will be critical to getting our callers on the air. Thanks everyone. We are in the process of preparing another nice surprise for the District Court. They will see this within a day of the upcoming dismissal. Regards, Dwight and Nick
May 18, 201610 yr Author Hey All, A bit more action has taken place. Here is an excerpt from the SAPPA Log page. ---- May 17, 2016 - Last week Nick received a letter from Judge Shipp. Whether or not he wrote it or one of his aides is not important. The letter denied Mr. Purpura his right to present information concerning the rulings of the Court and the illegal filings of the Defense. This was the first time that the Judge actually responded to the many requests for oral arguments. However, he gave no reason for that denial and therefore we feel he has no legal grounds for it. Hence, he chose to not offer anything that Mr. Purpura could upend. It now has become ever so evident that this Judge has no intention of ruling against the leftist ideology of his Appointer and Chief - Barack Obama. Nick has known for some time that this day would come. It has now arrived. The first step to getting Judge Shipp either removed from the case or to voluntarily recuse himself is to send an informal notification of this intent. That notification has been delivered to Judge Shipp. You can read or download that letter here. Informal Request for Recusal. ----- We are now preparing the formal request for recusal that will be presented to the Chief Judge of the District Court. That document will detail the many failings and questionable activity of the Court. Thanks, Dwight I guess most of you have seen the Circuit Court Ruling in DC that puts a temporary ban on the practice of having to "shoe a special need" to carry a weapon. That DC law is pretty much a carbon copy of the one here in NJ. DK

And great job by my fellow CJRPC members to step up and support this.
May 20, 201610 yr Why dont you guys ask the judge ...... "What is Sweeneys " justifiable need " ?  They'll say, "Gun Nuts."
May 20, 201610 yr A continued thanks for the many long hours and days of hard work you guys are putting into this. A continued thanks for the many long hours and days of hard work you guys are putting into this. A continued thanks for the many long hours and days of hard work you guys are putting into this. You must really be appreciative.
May 21, 201610 yr Why dont you guys ask the judge ...... "What is Sweeneys " justifiable need " ?  Was thinking that as well - no way he has as many threats as Albert Almeida. What a fucking jerkoff Sweeney is.
May 21, 201610 yr Couldn't agree more.... and even if he did ( which I'm sure he don't ) his " threats " shouldnt be more justifiable then us mere peasants.
May 25, 201610 yr Based on NJ CCW requirements, wouldn't everyone in NJ with a CCW be in the news since they should be constantly defending themselves due to their justifiable need? If Sweeney hasn't been attacked recently he should have to return his license since he really didn't need it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
May 25, 201610 yr He and his like are a different class and not subject to the laws for regular folks.

June 6, 201610 yr Author Hey Guys, A few things have happened since our last update. After we filed the "Recall and Vacate" motion the defense apparently felt they had no way of arguing against it so they did what they have done from the beginning. They ignored the points we made and wrote their own letter to the Judge asking that he too ignore the law. That of course forced Nick to prepare an answer to that letter. Here is an excerpt from our SAPPA webpage update. Included there are the two documents referenced here. If the links don't work in this notice both of the documents can be seen and downloaded from the SAPPA District Court Documents page. A link can be found in the blue menu box at the top of the TPATH Front Page. www.tpath.org June 6, 2016- On June 1, 2016 Mr. Purpura received a letter which was sent to the Court by the Defense Counsel whereby they presented a weak and infirm request to not produce a Motion in response to Nick's Vacate and Recall submittal. Here is their letter: DEFENSE REQUEST TO NOT RESPOND Mr. Purpura, having seen this type of action before, had anticipated this move by the defense and had a response template ready. All it needed was to plug in the specific charges and then be sent to the court. Here is Nick's response: REPLY TO DEFENSE LETTER OF OPPOSITION Thanks all, Dwight
June 6, 201610 yr Dwight, thank you for the update. I earlier asked about the letter from Judge Shipp to Nick referred to in the May 17th update. I believe it was going to be posted on the SAPPA documents page per your reply: Hi, Yes! We will be posting the Judge's letter, later today, on the SAPPA page which has all the District Court Documents. When it is posted you will be able to read or download it here>>> DISTRICT COURT DOCUMENTS Dwight I don't see it posted as of this writing. Have I missed it?
June 7, 201610 yr Author Hey DD, Yes, all the documents are up on the SAPPA web pages. See them here. CLICK Dwight
June 7, 201610 yr Dwight, I have discussed this with lawyer types, and they made note that the fact that you guys have not personally been denied the right to carry could affect your standing in the suit. As a suggestion, applying for and getting denied couldn't hurt.
June 7, 201610 yr Author Fred, This subject has been dealt with in several of our motions and letters to the court. Among other points too lengthy to relate here, we have proven by statistics that every citizen in NJ is affected by the illegal NJ laws. Simply by living here. We have testimony from Police Chiefs who are on record as saying, don't bother to try, you are not getting a carry permit. And also, there are Supreme Court rulings that held anyone can file a civil rights lawsuit even if not personally affected. But remember, if you live in NJ, you know you are affected and the courts know it too. Ask your lawyer friends to take some time and read our submittals. I would like to know their responses. They can all be seen here: http://www.tpath.org/sappa-district-court-documents.html Thanks, Dwight
June 7, 201610 yr In addition to Dwight's response, I'd also be worried that applying could give the defense the option of granting him/Nick a permit to carry in an attempt to nullify that argument. "Here's your permit. Now what are you complaining about?"
June 7, 201610 yr Dwight, Thanks for the response, I tend to be a Belt and Suspenders guy, and want to make sure that the enemy does not have a leg to stand on. You guys are the only ones that I think can get this done, so thanks for all you have done so far.
