UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT TH MAR 27 2018 NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS cueRK ies G. BRUTON EASTERN DIVISION “8. DISTRICT COURT United States of America Case 1:14-cv-05402 [Plaintiff - Appellee] Judicial Notice -Supreme Court v. FRCP 12 (c) — judgment Circuit Rule 28 (f) - citations Victor M. Crown, et al USA v. Clarke — No. 13-301 [Defendant - Appellant] USA v. Whiting Pools — 462 US 198 MOTION FOR JUDGMENT ON THE PLEADINGS [FRCP 12 (c)(f)(g) — 49 CFR 821.17 Now comes Victor M. Crown, pro se, as provided under the order to show cause entered by □□ Circuit Court of Appeals on 3-23-2018, herewith affirming:

The defendant [Victor M. Crown, pro se] has the legal standing to bring this motion pursuant to show cause order certified by 7" Circuit on 3-26-2018 requesting a legal response by 4-6-2018 This responsive motion is then timely filed under FRCP 12 (c) — judgment on the pleadings.

On 7-16-2014, the United States of America filed a complaint for permanent injunction and other relief against defendant [Case 1:14-cv-05402 NDIL] which was authorized by the Chief Counsel of the Internal Revenue Service [IRS] and applied to IRC 7401, 7402, 7407 and 7408.

On 7-21-2014, the US Supreme Court entered a legal judgment in United States v. Clarke — No. 13-301] which stated that an affected taxpayer can challenge an IRS summons in federal district court and was/is then allowed to basically establish [prove up] “bad faith” by the Internal Revenue Service [IRS]. The written decision [published online] in case by Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan stated that a judicial proceeding to challenge an IRS summons after 7-21- 2014 [date of judgment] was to be conducted in an adversarial manner and not EX PARTE.

On 8-11-2014, US Department of Justice [Atty. Olivia Hussey-Scott] then brought an illegal EX PARTE motion on behalf of Internal Revenue Service [IRS] requesting issuance of a summons to compel defendant [Victor M. Crown] to answer questions relating to tax preparation. The EX

PARTE legal motion was not in conformity or in full legal accord with US Supreme Court decision in United States v. Clarke — No. 13-301 and written decision by Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan ruled that a legal proceeding to challenge an IRS summons was to be conducted in an adversarial way, and not EX PARTE or in accord with United States v. Whiting Pools, inc. [462 US 198 — decided 6-8-1983] mandating return of property by Internal Revenue Service.

On 9-29-2014, District Judge James Zagel granted government’s [DOJ] EX PARTE motion for issuance of a summons after DOJ failed to comply with 7-21-14 judgment of the Supreme Court

On 12-16-2014, the [illegal] summons was returned [executed] by United States. The district court is advised that [illegal] summons included fraudulent [false] dates on RETURN OF SERVICE and PROOF OF SERVICE and was filed after EX PARTE hearing involving Department of Justice.

THEREFORE, Victor M. Crown, pro se, herewith now asks District Court to take mandatory Judicial Notice of US Supreme Court decision in USA v. Clarke and enter order to strike a legal motion filed 8-11-14 and the docket entry of 9-29-14 and affirm legal doctrine of stare decisis. The dismissal of this case is also under FRCP 41[b] because of a failure to prosecute or to comply with Rules or an order of court — and intentional failure to prosecute against the filing of illegal EX PARTE motion on 8-11-14 or litigate in favor of adversarial hearing — which allows defendant to establish rule violations and “bad faith” in case and depose IRS employees [Miller][Henline], IDOR and any other person who violated federal protective order filed on 7- 20-15, an “automatic stay” entered for Lourdes Theodossis Estate on 1-9-17, “filing bar” against defendant in Shakman case from 5-26-09; and an order from District Court for immediate corrective action on tax liens under IRM 5.9.5.9.1 (08-17-16) by 3-29-18 by IRS [Chicago office] and compliance with federal mandates by State of Illinois [Comptroller] on 3-30-18 at 10:00am

(Slip Opinion) OCTOBER TERM, 2013 Syllabus NOTE: Where it is feasible, a syllabus (headnote) will be released, as is being done in connection with this case, at the time the opinion is issued. The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus UNITED STATES v. CLARKE ET AL. CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT No. 13-301. Argued April 23, 2014—Decided June 19, 2014 The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued summonses to respondents for information and records relevant to the tax obligations of Dynamo Holdings L. P. See 26 U.S. C. §7602(a). When respondents failed to comply, the IRS brought an enforcement action in District Court. Respondents challenged the IRS’s motives in issuing the summonses, seeking to question the responsible agents. The District Court denied the request and ordered the summonses enforced, characterizing re- spondents’ arguments as conjecture and incorrect as a matter of law. The Eleventh Circuit reversed, holding that the District Court’s re- fusal to allow respondents to examine the agents constituted an abuse of discretion, and that Circuit precedent entitled them to con- duct such questioning regardless of whether they had presented any factual support for their claims. Held: A taxpayer has a right to conduct an examination of IRS officials regarding their reasons for issuing a summons when he points to spe- cific facts or circumstances plausibly raising an inference of bad faith. Pp. 5-9. (a) A person receiving a summons is entitled to contest it in an ad- versarial enforcement proceeding. Donaldson v. United States, 400 U.S. 517, 524. But these proceedings are “summary in nature,” United States v. Stuart, 489 U.S. 353, 369, and the only relevant question is whether the summons was issued in good faith, United States v. Powell, 379 U.S. 48, 56. The balance struck in this Court’s prior cases supports a requirement that a summons objector offer not just naked allegations, but some credible evidence to support his claim of improper motive. Circumstantial evidence can suffice to meet that burden, and a fleshed out case is not demanded: The tax- payer need only present a plausible basis for his charge. Pp. 5-7.

2 UNITED STATES v. CLARKE Syllabus (b) Here, however, the Eleventh Circuit applied a categorical rule demanding the examination of IRS agents without assessing the plausibility of the respondents’ submissions.
