initiation (202-479-3263)
Cc: Hon. Scott S. Harris, Clerk (202-479-3011)
c/o:
Supreme Court of the United States
1 First Street, N.E., Washington, DC

Jeff, thank you for speaking with me once a while back on
the phone.
I neglected to include you in my cc list when e-filing -
not a requirement at the cert stage (and not required at all of us lowly pro se
mortals), but, since the clerk assigned to my case misread the case law
regarding intervention (when permissible), here are all the filings in that
case:
1) The Intervention (which gives me 'party' status,
allowing me to request rehearing
2) Notice (Correction) regarding 2 scrivener's errors and
corrected certificate of service
3) My "In Forma Pauperis" paperwork (why you all don't
require receipts is beyond me, but if you trust me, then I also trust
myself! -- Trust me: If I could afford to file regularly, I would, as it makes
the court's job easier to have 40 briefs, not just 10, making the justices'
clerks' jobs easier)...
4) The "Rule 21 reconsideration" motion which shows that
the clerk assigned to my case misread the relevant case law.
Additionally, I am including the tracking information,
showing that W.LEE signed for my filing, and it should be headed your way
shortly.
Normally, I would not bother to
include you all in my service list, but as there was one screw-up
already, I am hedging my bets, and keeping you all senior clerks "in the
loop" -- to be "on the safe side." (Had your clerk read the case law right, I
would not have had to spend loads of money to refile this, but the case-law I
found, in my response, was worth its weight in gold.)
If, however, you disagree with my reading of the
Intervention case law, please let me know why; otherwise, please file my
intervention. (Funny Obiter Dictim: Even though the court did not *grant*
intervention for Chris Sevier, the "guy who wanted to marry his computer,"
remember him?... nonetheless, you all at least let him seek Intervention in
Obergefell, et al, the gay marriage cases. - If you all filed nutty paperwork -
clearly sarcastic, and not serious - then surely you all will brook my
papers- and let the court review my Intervention as a matter of
right.)
Thank you,
Gordon Wayne Watts

Thank you for processing my paperwork so far.
Pursuant to our phone conversation, I am submitting this response to
The Court's 02-22-2016 ruling, which I filed this Friday in this
'College Loan Bankruptcy' case, Tetzlaff v. ECMC, No.
15-485.
Please find enclosed PDF files of both this
filing, as well as printing and "proof of delivery" to a 3rd-party
Commercial Carrier in a timely fashion. It is scheduled to arrive by
10:30am Eastern Time this morning.
My apologies, once again, for the slight delay
in service by email, but the Sabbath came upon me, and for religious (and
health) reasons, I was delayed. (Besides, e-service is not required for
cert filings, only merits briefs - and, moreover, pro se filers
are not required to e-file at all -but I'm including this
e-service as a courtesy, for the convenience of The Court and
Counsel.)
Again, a TRUE COPY of my brief (and all filings
in this case) may be downloaded as from the front-page news of The
Register, my namesake blogs: www.GordonWayneWatts.com / www.GordonWatts.com or, if you
prefer a direct link:
Sincerely,
Gordon Wayne Watts

Counsel and Court:
Please find enclosed a Supplemental Certificate of Service with
judicial notice of 2 Scrivener's Errors. It is a 3-page PDF file and is
enclosed.
I filed this yesterday evening in
Tetzlaff v ECMC, No15-485, in which Mr. Tetzlaff challenges
his inability to discharge his Student Loan in
bankruptcy.
My apologies for the delay in e-service, but it took me until now to
code these filings for e-service and publication online, whereby you may
download a true copy of the filings. (On another note, I think The Court
should require *all* pro se litigants to effect e-service, as I am
here, but that is your call, not mine.)
I accidentally used Counselor Hallward-Driemeier's old mailing address
when effecting service this past Friday. My apologies; I corrected it as
soon as I saw, and as The Court does not come back from vacation until
02-22-2016, I trust this will not inconvenience or prejudice anyone. My
initial Friday filing, yesterday's erratum, and documentation of
service for all items are enclosed.
Best regards,
Gordon W. Watts

should I be permitted to intervene as a matter of right.
I hope you have a great

"First, they [Nazis]
came for the Jews. I was silent. I was not a Jew. Then they came for the
Communists. I was silent. I was not a Communist. Then they came for the
trade unionists. I was silent. I was not a trade unionist. Then they came
for me. There was no one left to speak for me."(Martin Niemöller, given
credit for a quotation in The Harper Religious and Inspirational Quotation
Companion, ed. Margaret Pepper(New York: Harper &Row, 1989), 429 -as
cited on page 44, note 17,of Religious Cleansing in the American Republic,
by Keith A. Fornier,Copyright 1993, by Liberty, Life, and Family
Publications.
Some versions have Mr. Niemöller
saying: "Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up, because
I was a Protestant"; other versions have him saying that they came for
Socialists, Industrialists, schools, the press,and/or the Church; however,
it's certain he DID say SOMETHING like this. Actually, they may not have
come for the Jews first, as it's more likely they came for the prisoners,
mentally handicapped, &other so-called "inferiors" first -as
historians tell us-so they could get "practiced up"; however, they did
come for them -due to the silence of their neighbors -and due in part to
their own silence. So: "Speak up now or forever hold
your peace!"-GWW
