Updated barisone lawsuit 10/29/21 post 851

I go to the search, put in eggbutt for the posted by field. Scroll until I find the Barisone/Kanarek Legal Filings thread. Go to first post and there is a link.

I must need to clear my cache or something because I can’t get it to pop anything but a “can’t be found message”.

ETA…it popped up with the docket number vs the name search……

I had to put the docket number in (001562) and the year 21

I have to say, I think the only thing that will have any actual teeth to it is if RG really told the police they were recording them and the police ignored it….

I was told that that police department is having to deal with some online threats made towards schools and that the department was taking all the right steps and have now involved the FBI. Hopefully the people will be caught soon.

I’m not seeing anything redlined or any new exhibits. I see a mention of a police report, but no actual police report…am I looking in the wrong place?

It should be the last entry dated 10/28. I will try to copy and paste it to see if that works.

I’ve looked at it. I see a brief, with no evidence of edits…that mention exhibits A-D, but no attached exhibits….

There are a total of 100 pages. Maybe I can try to copy the redlined ones.

Can someone post just the X Motion and supporting affidavit? Don’t need the exhibits. Thanks.

Im not having any luck copying anything. I will keep trying. My back is injured again so I will not be doing anything for awhile. Ive looked at everything on the internet. I am bored.

Oh no! I hope you feel better soon! Bad backs suck

  1. I am an attorney at law duly admitted in the State of New Jersey, and counsel in the

  2. I am making this CERTIFICATION for two purposes, namely: (a) as part of
    BARISONE’s opposition to the defendants’ pre-answer motion for dismissal, with prejudice; and
    (b) in support of BARISONE’s cross-motion for leave to file and serve his proposed, Second

    noted otherwise.
    Procedural Posture of the Case
  4. This is a newly-commenced plenary action.

  7. There has been no discovery in this matter, as of the date of this certification.
  8. BARISONE commenced this action by filing his Complaint.
  9. Shortly thereafter, BARISONE filed a first amended, corrected complaint in which
    he corrected typographical and editing errors, and the like. BARISONE made that amended as a
    matter of right because it was filed before any of the defendants answered or otherwise appeared
    in this matter.
    Exhibits Presented
  10. Annexed hereto as Exhibit A is a true, accurate, and correct copy of BARISONE’s
    proposed “Second Amended Complaint.”

    added to the pleading as well as any and all other changes made.
  12. By cross-motion, BARISONE is seeking leave from the Court to file and serve that
    new pleading.
  13. Annexed hereto as Exhibit B are true, accurate, and correct redacted copies of
    police reports the defendants caused to be issued in which they characterized BARISONE as the
    victim making reports of crime against others.
  14. Annexed hereto as Exhibit C are true, accurate, and correct copies of any and all
    unpublished case law cited by me in my Letter Brief.
  15. Annexed hereto as Exhibit D is what I understand to be a true, accurate, and
    complete copy of the tort claims notice filed on behalf of BARISONE, with defendant
    WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, giving notice of BARISONE’s intention to pursue tort claims.
    I hereby certify that the foregoing statements made by me are true. I am aware that if
    any of the foregoing statements are willfully false, I am subject to punishment.

    ALLEGATIONS & CLAIMS
  24. Pursuant to Article 1, Paragraph 22, of the New Jersey Constitution, “[a] victim of
    a crime shall be treated with fairness, compassion and respect by the criminal justice system …

    omissions constitute unlawful discrimination based upon the protected traits of the person(s) with
    whom law enforcement is interacting, including but not limited to such traits as the race, age,
    g_ender. disability, and/or ethnicity of the person. and/or the person·s status as someone with
    impaired mental health.

  34. At all times relevant hereto, BARISONE was an individual with vested, protected
    rights and interests, including but not limited to constitutional rights and interests under the VRA,
    equal protection rights, and substantive due process rights.
  35. At all relevant times, for example, BARISONE qualified as a “victim of crime”
    under the VRA due to the criminal acts being directed at him by Kanarek and/or Goodwin, which
    BARISONE attempted repeatedly to report to the defendants and seek protection as a victim of
    cnme.
  36. At all relevant times, for example, BARISONE qualified as a “victim” under the
    CVBRO due to the criminal acts being directed at him by Kanarek and/or Goodwin, which
    BARISONE attempted repeatedly to report to the defendants and seek protection as a victim of
  37. At all times relevant hereto, each one of the defendants was an actor who/which
    owed BARISONE a duty of care with respect to his/her/its acts, action, and omissions impacting
    BARISONE, including but not limited to acts, actions, and/or omissions impacting BARISONE’s

    -9:~ Commencing in or about the late 1990s, BARISONE became co-owner of the
    Farm and started transforming the property into a world-class training facility for dressage.
    -1424. Himself a onetime highly competitive dressage rider who had grown up in Upstate

    New York where he started riding at an early age, BARISONE had gravitated towards training
    riders and horses in dressage, investing years of time, training and effort to become one of the
    sport’s leading trainers.
    -l+.-~BARISONE’s career reached a milestone when, at the 2016 Olympics held in
    Brazil, multiple competitors trained and/or coached by BARISONE won medals in the
    competitions. BARISONE operated a thriving business through which he trained riders and/or
    horses, raised horses, and/or boarded horse.
    -12-:-26. People interested in excelling in the sport of dressage sought out BARISONE to
    become their trainer, boarding their horses at the Farm (including certain horses valued in excess
    of $500,000) and coming there to train with BARISONE and his business in his world-class
    dressage barn with an adjoining club room, office, locker room, and other facilities.
    ~27. The Farm included as well a farm house, which was a single-family residence
    divided into at least two living spaces under one roof with shared spaces and facilities, such as
    hallways, entrances, porches, and the like.
    -14.28. While the farm house could be characterized as having multiple twe-living spaces,
    the fact was that the farm house constituted a single domicile, with its residents living like a single
    household.
    ~29. The physical layout of the Farm included frontage on West Mill Road, with the
    farm house about 400 feet back from the road, and the dressage barn and training facility another
    1,600-1,700 feet up an unlit driveway behind the farm house.
    -1430. Commencing in or about March 2018, Kanarek sought to become a pupil of
    BARIS ONE for purposes of training in dressage.

    g1L._ With her parents’ financial support, Kanarek wanted to train with BARJSONE and
    board her horses at the Farm during the summer season which covers (essentially) the months of
    April through November, following which (during the winter season) Kanarek would following
    BARJSONE to Florida to continue her training.
    -l-&-32. Kanarek’s aspirational goal, upon information and belief, was to “train for the
    Olympics” and become a “world class” dressage rider, though the reality seemed more likely to
    be that Kanarek would remain an amateur who enjoyed the sport and the personal satisfaction one
    has when they take lessons and improve in a pursuit they love.
    -l-9-:33. At that time Kanarek presented as an attractive blonde woman in her mid- to late30’s, with acceptable horseback riding skills, an acceptable horse, and what appeared to be nearly
    limitless financial support and backing of her father, a wealthy attorney from Livingston, New
    Jersey.
    ~34. But there was an exceptionally dark and disturbing reality concerning Kanarek that
    was being hidden from view by Kanarek and her parents.
    2-h~ Unbeknownst to BARIS ONE, Kanarek had a history of domestic conflict
    following which she was banished from residing with her family.
    n.36. Unbeknownst to BARIS ONE, Kanarek was a heroin addict with a lengthy criminal
    history, including criminal assault.
    ~}L_Unbeknownst to BARJSONE, Kanarek’s background included criminal
    harassment and stalking, including harassment that involved extensive use of the Internet and/or
    social media to make veiled and direct threats of injury, mayhem, violence, and criminal acts
    against persons with whom she was having interpersonal conflict.

    MRS-L-001562-21 10/28/2021 2:38:15 PM Pg 12 of 82 Trans ID: LCV20212519847
    24:-~Unbeknownst to BARISONE, Kanarek’s tactics in the past included making false
    reports and false statements against people she perceived to be her “enemy,” to child-protectiveservices agencies and/or other governmental agencies, including the police.
    ~39. Unbeknownst to BARISONE, Kanarek’s past included owning firearms and at
    least two (2) incidents of discharging her firearm, out of anger and rage, at other people and/or
    their personal property; an incident of carrying a loaded weapon into a political campaign event
    where she was planning to confront people; and, another incident when Kanarek posted of photo
    of a gun to threaten someone on social media.
    ~O. Unbeknownst the BARISONE, the United States Equestrian Federation and/or the
    U.S. Center for “Safe Sport” (which purports to protect people from abuse and harassment within
    the pursuit of sports) had multiple complaints about Kanarek from persons Kanarek had harassed,
    stalked, and/or otherwise endeavored to cause harm.
    i±A__L_Unbeknownst the BARISONE, Kanarek’s boyfriend Goodwin had an equally
    disturbing past, which included but was not limited to: drug addiction and heroin abuse; violence;
    criminal conduct; stalking; harassment; and the like.
    ~2. But for BARISONE’s lack of knowledge of Kanarek’s hidden background,
    BARISONE would not have agreed to become her dressage trainer; would not have agreed to
    permit Kanarek’s horse(s) to board at the Farm; and/or would not have engaged in any other form
    of relationship with Kanarek as coach, trainer, house guest, or otherwise.
    2-9-:-43. Similarly, but for BARISONE’s lack of knowledge of Goodwin’s hidden
    background, BARISONE would not have agreed to permit Kanarek to bring Goodwin to the Farm
    as her boyfriend and/or in any other capacity Kanarek and Goodwin might have proffered.
    ~4. BARISONE himself has a medical history which includes psychological trauma
    9
    MRS-L-001562-21 10/28/2021 2:38:15 PM Pg 13 of 82 Trans ID: LCV20212519847
    from abuse as a child.
    J-h45. At all times relevant hereto, BARISONE had been in treatment and/or counseling
    for his past trauma and status as a victim of child abuse and resulting trauma.
    ~6. In that regard, BARISONE was an “egg shell” victim of future trauma who was
    vulnerable and susceptible to sustaining injury from harassment, stalking, verbal assault, and
    threats of violence from persons like Kanarek and/or Goodwin.
    33.47. At all times relevant hereto, BARISONE displayed the traits, characteristics and
    affect of a person having psychological vulnerability and potential victimization from abuse, in
    need of protection from the police under circumstances indicating a basis for being in fear of
    injury, harm, violence, and/or threats of same.
    J.4A.8. Commencing in or about May 2019, Kanarek and Goodwin became temporary
    house guests ofBARISONE in the farm house at the Farm.
    ~9. BARISONE had told Kanarek that she could not become a tenant at the Farm due
    to water damage to the farm house which made it unlivable.
    ¼:-.2.Q,_Upon being informed of that circumstance, Kanarek’s father commenced
    threatening BARISONE with abusive legal process and litigation for purposes of forcing
    BARISONE to permit Kanarek to live at the Farm, even temporarily, as BARISONE’s house
    guest.
    J.’.7-:.2L._Upon information and belief, Kanarek’s father did everything in his power to
    ensure that Kanarek and Goodwin would reside at the Farm (even temporarily) because Kanarek
    was banned from residing with her father and/or other immediate family in New Jersey due to
    Kanarek’s past history of violence, abuse, assault, drug use, psychotic behavior, and the like.
    MRS-L-001562-21 10/28/2021 2:38:15 PM Pg 14 of 82 Trans ID: LCV20212519847
    J&.:-52. Separate and apart from that temporary “house guest” arrangement, Kanarek was
    again boarding her horse in the barn at the Farm.
    J9-:.~Soon after she started staying as a house guest at the Farm, Kanarek commenc

again boarding her horse in the barn at the Farm.
J9-:.~Soon after she started staying as a house guest at the Farm, Kanarek commenced
displaying behavior towards BARISONE, Gray, and/or other Farm residents and visitors, which
was increasingly threatening and/or otherwise unacceptable.
40-:54. Kanarek’s behavior included an upward spiral of harassment and stalking of
BARISONE, Gray, and/or Gray’s children, both on the Internet and throughout social media like
Facebook, where Kanarek made veiled and direct threats against them of ever-increasing severity.
4+.~As the situation escalated, BARISONE commenced uncovering the highly
problematic and threatening criminal and social backgrounds of Kanarek and Goodwin.
~56. It was in or about June 2019, for example, that BARISONE learned of Kanarek’s
status as a drug addict, criminal, and person with a history of harassment, stalking, threats of
violence, and violent assault, against others.
~R__BARISONE and Gray began to observe, find, and/or otherwise become aware of
Internet postings by Kanarek, in which Kanarek threatened harm, injury and/or violence against
BARISONE, Gray, Gray’s minor children living at the Farm, and/or horses boarding in the barn.
#.~For example, on or about July 25, 2019, seeking to threaten and intimate
BARIS ONE and Gray, Kanarek posted a ranting message on social media in which she bragged
about her past stalking and harassment of people, which was reasonably understood by
BARISONE to be Kanarek threating him, in which Kanarek spoke of"DEATH" in the context of
those who were in conflict with her.
#-:59. Thereafter, on or about July 31, 2019, Kanarek expressly threatened violence and
11
MRS-L-001562-21 10/28/2021 2:38:15 PM Pg 15 of 82 Trans ID: LCV20212519847
harm against BARISONE and Gray including Kanarek’s threat that she would “destroy” Gray
and everything Gray possessed, including Gray’s children, BARISONE, the Farm, and/or their
horses.
4460. It was based upon those threats, other threats and statements made by Kanarek,
and/or other behaviors by Kanarek and Goodwin, that BARISONE, Gray, and others at the Farm,
were reasonably placed in fear of physical harm and property destruction by Kanarek and
Goodwin.
4+.-6_L_As of July 31, 2019, and at all relevant times thereafter, BARISONE’s affect,
statements and behaviors evidenced outwardly that BARISONE was being psychologically
assaulted and victimized by Kanarek and Goodwin, such that the defendants knew of, and
intentionally and/or recklessly disregarded, BARISONE’s mounting psychological distress and
potential psychiatric breakdown that could occur unless appropriate and sufficient action was
taken by the defendants to intervene.
The July 31, 2019 Incident
4&-62. The situation continued to escalate out of control, with Kanarek increasing her
terroristic threats, harassment, stalking, and/or other criminal behaviors until the night of July 31,
2019, when BARISONE made his first “911” call to the WASIDNGTON TOWNSHIP POLICE
DEPARTMENT seeking emergency assistance.
63. On July 31 , 2019, at approximately 20:00 hours, BARISONE called “911” and
reported that he had been assaulted verbally by Kanarek and/or Goodwin; that he and others at
the Farm were being subjected to other criminal behaviors by Kanarek and/or Goodwin, including
but not limited to behaviors which constituted unlawful criminal threats, harassment, cyber
stalking, and cyber harassment; their fear; and other relevant information.
12
MRS-L-001562-21 10/28/2021 2:38:15 PM Pg 16 of 82 Trans ID: LCV20212519847
64. BARJSONE made that “911” call for the expressed purpose of reporting a crime
being committed against him as a victim of criminal conduct by Kanarek and/or Goodwin.
49-c65. In the “911” call BARJSONE communicated facts and circumstances
demonstrating that he was a person who was suffering physical or psychological injury or has
incurred loss of or damage to personal or real property as a result of what BARJSONE perceived
to be criminal acts, actions, and/or omissions against him by Kanarek and/or Goodwin.
66. Thereafter, DEFENDANT TESORI and DEFENDANT SEABECK arrived at the
Farm, whereupon BARISONE and/or others repeated their reports to WASHINGTON
TOWNSHIP that there had been a verbal assault by Kanarek and/or Goodwin; that BARISONE
and others at the Farm were being subjected to other criminal behaviors by Kanarek and/or
Goodwin including but not limited to behaviors which constituted unlawful criminal threats,
harassment, cyber stalking, and cyber harassment; and that BARJSONE and others were in fear
of immediate danger and injury to their physical health and/or wellbeing, and/or the wellbeing of
their property.
~67. The reports BARISONE made to DEFENDANT TESORI and DEFENDANT
SEABECK in that fa<.:e-to-face meeting included factual statement demonstrating that
BARJSONE was a person who was suffering from physical and/or psychological injury as a result
of what BARISONE perceived to be criminal acts, actions, and/or omissions against him by
Kanarek and/or Goodwin.
68. DEFENDANT TESORI and DEFENDANT SEABECK intentionally disregarded
the facts and circumstances being reported to them and intentionally failed to act to protect
BARISONE and/or the others making the report to WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP against
Kanarek and Goodwin.
13
MRS-L-001562-21 10/28/2021 2:38:15 PM Pg 17 of 82 Trans ID: LCV20212519847
~9. By and through their intentional disregard of the facts and circumstances being
reported to them, and their intentional failure to protect BARISONE and the others at the Farm
who were making complaints against Kanarek and/or Goodwin, DEFENDANT TESORI,
DEFENDANT SEABECK, the WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP POLICE DEPARTMENT and,
ultimately, WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, were failing to treat BARISONE with the requisite
fairness, compassion, and respect he is guaranteed constitutionally violating the VRA, and/or
violating BARISONE’s other important constitutional rights including his right to equal
protection and his right to substantive due process.
~70. For example, during the July 31, 2019 incident~, BARISONE’s affect, statements
and behaviors evidenced outwardly that BARISONE was being psychologically assaulted and
victimized by Kanarek and Goodwin, such that the police knew of, and intentionally and/or
recklessly disregarded, BARISONE’s mounting psychological distress and potential psychiatric
breakdown that could occur unless appropriate and sufficient action was taken by the defendants
to intervene in the developing criminal dispute.
~lL__Thereafter, DEFENDANT TESORI and DEFENDANT SEABECK intentionally
authored and issued a Washington Twp Police Department Investigation Report that was
materially false and misleading (the “August 1, 2019 Police Report”), knowing that the August 1,
2019 Police Report was materially false and misleading through the statements they made in that
report and/or the information they omitted from it, and/or in actionable reckless disregard that the
report was materially false and/or misleading because of that.
72. The August 1, 2019 Police Report truthfully admitted that the “Victim” reporting
crime was “BARISONE, MICHAEL L.”, but was materially false and misleading in that the
report, inter alia: (a) failed to document the complaint by BARISONE and the others that some of
14
MRS-L-001562-21 10/28/2021 2:38:15 PM Pg 18 of 82 Trans ID: LCV20212519847
them were in fear of immediate danger and injury to their physical health and wellbeing, and/or
the wellbeing of their property; (b) failed to document the report by BARI SO NE and/or Gray that
Kanarek had made the terroristic threat to injury Gray, her children and/or her property; and/or
( c) failed to document other facts and circumstances necessary to accurately and effectively
convey the true circumstances and resulting material threat of injury, harm, and/or other mayhem
occurring at the Farm that day.
Mo73. By and through their acts of preparing and publishing a police report which was
made intentionally false and misleading by the police officers involved, DEFENDANT TESORI,
DEFENDANT SEABECK the WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP POLICE DEPARTMENT and,
ultimately, WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, were failing to treat BARISONE with the requisite
fairness, compassion, and respect he is guaranteed constitutionally violating the VRA, and/or
violating BARISONE’s other important constitutional rights including his right to equal
protection and his right to substantive due process.
74. The August 1, 2019 Police Report documented as well that the responding
DEFENDANT POLICE OFFICERS violated police protocol by interviewing Kanarek and
Goodwin (the alleged criminal perpetrators) bdort! interviewing BARISONE, the “911”
complainant, evidencing unlawful bias by the defendants against BARISONE and evidencing
other wrongs.
75. By and through the responding officers’ intentional failures to follow, abide by,
and comply with those and other police protocols, DEFENDANT TESORI, DEFENDANT
SEABECK, the WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP POLICE DEPARTMENT and, ultimately,
WASHING TON TOWNSHIP, were failing to treat BARISONE with the requisite fairness,
compassion, and respect he is guaranteed constitutionally violating the VRA, and/or violating
15
MRS-L-001562-21 10/28/2021 2:38:15 PM Pg 19 of 82 Trans ID: LCV20212519847
BARISONE’s other important constitutional rights including his right to equal protection and his
right to substantive due process.
76. The DEFENDANT POLICE OFFICERs’ acts, actions and omissions when they
were interacting with BARISONE during the July 31, 2019 incidents referenced above, and/or in
connection with their preparation of the August 1, 2019 Police Report, violated BARISONE’s
constitutional rights including but not limited to BARISONE’s rights under the VRA,
BARISONE’s right to equal protection, BARISONE’s right to substantive due process, and other
important constitutional rights BARISONE had.
~77. The behaviors of the defendants, for example: (a) denied BARISONE treatment
with fairness, compassion, and/or respect, as a person being victimized criminally by Kanarek
and/or Goodwin; (b) denied BARISONE equal protection by performing their acts, action and
omission based upon unlawful discrimination against BARISONE based upon his gender, age,
psychological disability, and/or status as a person impacted by mental illness; © violated
BARISONE’s right to substantive due process by intentionally subjecting BARISONE to
emotional distress causing BARISONE physical and mental harm; and (d) other denials and/or
interferences with BARISONE’s protected, constitutional rights and interests.
The August 1, 2019 Incident
*-TI.:_ The situation continued to escalate out of control, with Kanarek and Goodwin
increasing their terroristic threats, harassment, stalking, and/or other criminal behaviors, against
BARISONE, Gray, and other people on the premises of the Farm.
~79. For example, on or about the morning of August 1, 2019, Goodwin cornered two
minors residing at the Farm (students ofBARISONE) and attempted to force the minors to agree
with Goodwin’s assertion that BARISONE was wrong to have call the police against him and

@3PonyFarm thank you. I see exactly what is happening.

Defendant the cops filed a motion to dismiss the case that was started by MB.

So MB is the Plaintiff = P
Cops are Defendants = D

P starts case.
D files motion to dismiss the case.
P files a Cross Motion = X Mot and with it files an Opposition to D Mot to Dism Cmplnt

It’s a X Mot because it’s on the same day in court.

P XMot is to amend Ps original complaint

D has not filed an Answer yet to the original complaint.

Excuse my abbreviations. This is how I did my motions in court.
