By: Human Rights Alert, NGO In April 2010 report, [1] filed with the United Nations by Human Rights Alert (NGO), large-scale fraud was alleged in the United States courts online public access (PACER) and case management (CM/ECF) systems. The essence of the alleged fraud was and is: (a) In the failure of the courts to spell out in Rules of Court their new verification and authentication procedures, as required by law; (b) In the omission of all authentication records (NEFs - Notices of Electronic Filing and NDAs - Notices of Docket Activity) from public access in PACER - such records are today accessible only in CM/ECF, and there too - only to counsel authorized in a given caption; (c) Denial of public access to such authentication records of the US courts, even upon request to access court records - to inspect and to copy - pursuant to First Amendment rights and Nixon v Warner Communications, Inc (1978); (d) Routine issuance by the US courts of minutes, orders, judgments, and mandates with no authentication at all. Such records, which are deemed by the courts themselves as void, not voidable, are posted in PACER as "entered" – was part of false and deliberately misleading PACER court dockets. Such fraud was alleged as the enabling tool for routine abuse of Human Rights at the United States courts in both civil and criminal litigations. For example, such fraud was alleged as having effectively denied access to the US courts in the habeas corpus and related petitions and appeal of the falsely hospitalized, 70 yo, former US prosecutor Richard Fine, [2] [3] As detailed in papers filed with the US Supreme Court in Fine v Sheriff (09-A827), such fraud was also alleged as a routine in litigations involving large financial institutions, undermining effective banking regulation in the United States. [4] The papers also provided documentation of inexplicable discrepancies in the above referenced caption between the online public access records and the true court file records of the US Supreme Court itself. [4b] However, such papers were omitted from the docket of the US Supreme Court with no authority and with no notation at all. [5] Similar fraud was alleged in the online public access and case management systems of various correctional institutions, particularly in Los Angeles County, California, where the online public access system was demonstrated as showing no valid records, or no records at all, for approximately half of the inmates, where the case of Richard Fine was but one example. [6] The solution proposed in the submission to the United Nations: Publicly accountable validation (certified functional logic verification) Although such deficiencies were first analyzed in the US courts, it is expected that similar problems may arise in any nation where the justice system transitions to digital records based administration. [7] Therefore, the November 2010 the 2010 UPR (Universal Periodic Review) of Human Rights in the United States by the United Nations, pending November 2010, may serve as a wake up call new safeguard for Human Rights in the digital era worldwide.
