The backstory on this matter is an ex-girlfriend wrote a police report about me that lacked fact. Claimant had history as well of filing other family case which also lacked fact and was dismissed - proof enclosed. This case was sealed. Then a federal case was begun in order to show all the proofs of all the lies that occurred against me + holding the city at the time responsible for not utilizing MD5# analysis to check for the person’s cropping of messages, authenticating information, and counting up simple statements made like text quantity allegation of which we proved through cell phone tower data was false so on so forth. You are welcome to cross reference the evidence we provided in the case against what was said about me as neede but i doubt you have time for this or desire - I will not bore you with all the details of what occurred unto me but suffice it to say case | was sealed and this is my rationale for why I am writing to you (initial case regarding the sealed record request sealed by barkat epstein attorney aida leisenring). The city of new york in turn during the federal case made a sealed record request to view documents that are sealed which i have attached in this document.
