 COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS
PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT

Worcester , SS                        PROBATE COURT DOCKET NO. 93D-1294-DV1

 


Linda S. Wright 
Plaintiff
v.
J. William Wright, III,
Defendant.

MOTION TO  STAY MGL209A ORDER
 

      Defendant  J. William Wright, III  in the above named matter  hereby requests this court to stay the  Massachusetts General Law 209A Order renewed September 28, 1999,  or to vacate it while the matter is under appeal.

The Defendant contends the stay should be allowed for the following reasons:
 

1) The Defendant will clearly win the appeal as the lower courts  have made numerous errors and shown extreme bias toward a male  Defendant

2) The current Abuse prevention Order is improperly written, confusing and vague in several areas; thereby, making it a null,  void, and unconstitutional per the Fourteenth Amendment  of the U.S. Constitution

3) The purported incident of abuse on which on this was originally written have been determined to not be abuse by the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts and by other state Supreme Courts.

4) The Plaintiff has clearly indicated she does not feel the Defendant is a threat to her son; and therefore Sean S. Wright should be removed from the order. To wit Mr. Durland stated  to this court  “And Sean will be 17 in December , and certainly our perspective is that if chooses to see his father, my client certainly won’t stand in the way.”  (See attached sworn transcript extract).

5) Yet this court has unexcusably and inexplicably continued the order with Sean Wright’s name on it. The court has not provided independent support and justification for the order  decision that the Defendant must stay away from his sons per  Smith v Joyce 421 Mass 523.

6) New cases indicate the re- issuance of  209A Order was improper and erroneous. In a hearing, the Plaintiff has complained of Defendant’s filing of law suites in the recent hearing.  This has been held to not be a valid reason for issuing a restraining order.  “The conduct complained of, i.e., the sending of legal  notices by mail or the delivery of such through a sheriff's department, was expressly permitted by the temporary 209A order. We conclude that the 209A order should not have been issued because the  conduct complained of did not constitute “abuse” as defined in G. L. C. 209A  “,  MICHAEL L. LARKIN  vs.  AYER DIVISION OF THE DISTRICT COURT DEPARTMENT  425 Mass 1020.

7) There is no indication any harm will come to the Plantiff or the parties child, Sean,  and thus no reason minimally  to not issue a stay regarding his name on the order.


WHEREFORE Mr. Wright prays for the Court to  stay   the order,  or to vacate the order in part or entirety while the appeal is pending or to provide  other just relief.
