Re: Support

Dear Chris:

I am sorry to hear about your incarceration at St. Joseph's.  As a member of the MindFreedom Shield program I received the public alert about your situation.  One of the things mentioned was that you wanted material that might help you with your hearing.  I am not licensed to practice law in Michigan, you are not my client and I am not representing you in any way.  For your information, and in response to your MindFreedom Shield appeal to send you material that might help you in your case, I am sending you copies of:

1.      Reply Brief in Myers v. API, S11021, in the Alaska Supreme Court;

2.      Memorandum in Support of Motion for Temporary Restraining Order with exhibits starting at Exhibit 4.

3.      Memorandum in Support of Motion to Dismiss and Pre-Hearing Brief

Of course, I don't know the details of your case and I am not advising you in any way, but with respect to No. 1 1, the description of the United States Supreme Court Sell case starting at page 11 might be of interest.  With respect to No. 2, there is a detailed description of medications starting towards the bottom of page 4, with supporting scientific evidence in the attachments that follow.  With respect to No. 3, pages 3-5 talk about what the state has to show in order to be constitutionally entitled to commit you.

Good luck and please let me know how it goes.

Yours truly,

 

James B. (Jim) Gottstein, Esq.
