STOLEN HOLLYWOOD BLOCKBUSTERS!
CHRONOLOGY CONCERNING THE STOLEN FEDERAL COPYRIGHTS
Corruption in the Federal Courts was to deny "Discovery" a crucial factor in litigation that would expose defendants NBC Universal et al., theft ring, frauds, writer frauds and the bias corruption destroying a fair and impartial system of justice in the federal courts and the Library of Congress.
This plaintiff from the inception of the lawsuit claimed his 5 (five) federal copyrights were stolen in a carefully devised premeditated criminal scheme by NBC Universal et al., who made billions of dollars in revenues on stolen federal copyrights originally created and owned by plaintiff Joseph Ardito and stolen in a premeditated criminal scheme devised by a theft ring of writers, studio defendants, attorneys, a doctor, producers and the Library of Congress; The defendants NBC Universal et al., the studio defendants only prevailed by political bias connections, barring discovery a crucial factor in the case that would have exposed the defendant's NBC Universal, et al., theft ring , corruption in the LAPD, F.B.I. , U.S. Attorney General’s Office, corruption in the federal court system and the Library of Congress that was readily available through political connections by and through federal court judges and justices that intentionally violated a fair and impartial proceeding by barring "Discovery" that criminally violated due process, the constitution, and this plaintiff's civil rights to a fair and impartial hearing.
Discovery, a crucial factor in this copyright case would have proved this plaintiff's case "beyond any reasonable doubt" a more stringent burden of proof than a "mere preponderance of evidence" the studio defendants NBC Universal et al., stole , were in possession of this plaintiff's Joseph Ardito's 5 (five) stolen federally protected copyrights; and used these stolen federal copyrights in the unlawful making of defendants NBC Universal, et al., screenplays entitled "Meet the Parents,” “Meet the Fockers” and "Wedding Crashers."
The federal courts in protecting the defendants NBC Universal et al., were corruptly used in this premeditated legal criminal scheme in barring "discovery" a crucial factor in this multi-billion dollar copyright infringement case to conceal, subterfuge and protect defendants NBC Universal et al., the theft ring, fraudulent writers, studio defendants, attorneys, a doctor and the Library of Congress from civil and criminal liabilities in said copyright infringement case.
NBC Universal et al,. studio defendants "knew at all times" that they were in possession of plaintiff's 5 (five) federally protected copyrights that were stolen and used by defendants NBC Universal et al., in the criminal and unlawful making of the defendants NBC Universal, et al ., screenplays entitled "Meet the Parents", "Meet the Fockers" and "Wedding Crashers.”
The theft ring consisted of fraudulent writers, studio defendants, actors, attorneys, doctor, film producers and law firms that acted unethically and criminally in "concert and collusion" in sabotaging plaintiff's copyright infringement case through the Library of Congress, all involved in the premeditated theft scheme of stealing and using this plaintiff's 5 (five) federally protected copyrights, with intent and premeditation in the unlawful criminal acts of "extracting" all of the characters, scenes and settings from this plaintiff's 5 (five) federal protected copyrights and putting the "extracted stolen" characters, scenes and settings into defendants NBC Universal et al., screenplays entitled "Meet the Parents", "Meet the Fockers" and "Wedding Crashers,” as the defendants NBC Universal et al., "unlawfully and fraudulently" claiming title and original creation at the Library of Congress Copyright Office.
This plaintiff's copyrighted materials consisted of 5 (five) federally protected copyrights entitled "The Tenant", "The Dysfunctionals" self-explanatory and "The Attorneys" that crashed "Weddings and Funerals" in essence comical satires ridiculing dysfunctional families.
Any unbiased judge, jury, Magistrate or Supreme Court Justice not politically connected to NBC Universal et al., and the studio defendants who read this plaintiff's 5 (five) federally protected copyrights would have known "beyond any reasonable doubt" that the defendants theft ring extracted all of the characters, scenes and settings from this plaintiff's 5 (five) federally protected copyrights and used them in the unlawful making of defendants NBC Universal, et al. screenplays entitled "Meet the Parents", "Meet the Fockers", and "Wedding Crashers.” Without this plaintiff’s 5 (five) federally protected copyrights, these NBC Universal movies would have never existed!
The theft ring involved in this plaintiff's stolen federal copyrights were employed at the same law firm as this plaintiff, other members of the studio theft ring were the studio defendants,, friends and writer frauds linked to the theft ring that attended undergraduate college with attorneys from the same office located at 150 William Street, 19 floor, New York, New York, or knew Robert Epstein, and/or Dr. Americo Semonini and were all contracted by the defendants NBC Universal, et al., in the theft of this plaintiff's 5 (five) federally protected copyrights that were used without the consent or permission of this plaintiff.
Steven Soderbergh a producer, was employed at NBC Universal, Mr. Soderbergh was also a friend and patient of Dr. Americo Semonini who was employed at the same law firm as this plaintiff and was in possession of this plaintiff's stolen federal copyrights. Dr. Americo Semonini evaluated personal injury cases for the law firm in New York and lived in California where he was employed as a cardiologist at Cedar Sinai, as well as being employed as a doctor on the sets at NBC Universal the defendants in this copyright infringement case.

The Defendants’ attorneys Pryor, Cashman, Sherman and Flynn, relied on a videocassette pre-dated 1991 Meet The Parents alleged copyright fraud - found in a black box at the Library of Congress of which there is NO WRITTEN COPYRIGHT to perpetuate that this Plaintiff’s 5 (five) federally protected copyrights were not stolen!

June 16, 2005 - Chivalry Film Productions/Joseph Ardito v. NBC Universal , et al ., was filed in the Southern District of New York under Index No. 05 CV 5627. This plaintiff would have filed the complaint in April 2005, however awaited for Robert Epstein, Esq. to revise certain portions of the complaint that would later be used as part of summary judgment in the case. This plaintiff had no idea that Robert Epstein was in fact part of the theft ring; the jurisdiction and last minute revisions on the complaint didn't hit home until after the summary judgment used by Judge Lynch in his decision.
Robert Epstein being part of the "theft ring" manipulated and distorted the jurisdiction and portions of the complaint in a last look over prior to the filing on June 16, 2005, his last minute revisions proved that he was part of the theft ring playing both sides as he kept Pryor, Cashman Sherman & Flynn apprised of this plaintiff's every move throughout the litigation.
This plaintiff finished the complaint in February 2005 and Robert Epstein took 4 months formulating the jurisdiction part of the complaint which led to the complaint being filed in June 2005, and looked over the causes of actions that he revised. Robert Epstein accompanied this plaintiff to file the federal court to file said complaint. Normally, a case filed in federal court is issued an Index number and a judge is selected using a hand tumbling machine. However, as soon as this plaintiff walked up to the clerk, without using the tumbling machine Judge Lynch's name was stamped on my complaint. Mr. Epstein was actually trying to hide from the court’s camera's view, which wasn't possible. This unusual behavior on that day (June 16, 2005) can be verified by the court’s cameras.
Robert Epstein signed a retainer with this plaintiff claiming that this plaintiff could use the law firm’s 150 William Street, 19th fl., New York, NY address to receive all defendants and court correspondences.
Robert Epstein and Pryor, Cashman, Sherman & Flynn worked in "concert and collusion" with the premeditated intent of sabotaging this plaintiff's case. This plaintiff received motions and correspondents 4 to 5 days late constantly requesting additional time from the court, this was eventually uncovered by plaintiff as Robert Epstein was constantly asking this plaintiff to keep him apprised of any and all oppositions and motions prior to sending them to Pryor, Cashman, Sherman and Flynn with the premeditated intent of sabotaging this plaintiff's case.
December 14, 2005 - Certified Correspondence received from "Tracie M. Coleman" of the Library of Congress - Copyright Office of the United States, stating "that pages 191 through 222 were missing from the registered deposit" under Copyright PAu2 -283-460, (Ardito Screenplay). That is, while the written copyright was in custody of the Library of Congress’ Copyright Office, pages were mysteriously missing?! This plaintiff’s 5 (five) federally protected copyrights were in fact tampered with by the theft ring, as over “32 pages” were missing, destroyed and extracted from this plaintiff’s federally protected copyrights.
March 7, 2006 - Certified correspondence from "Tracie M. Coleman," from the Library of Congress of the United States , concerning the alleged pre-dated copyright PAu-1-571-116 (Meet the Parents), stating, "that the attached photocopies are a true representation of the front of the video-cassette tape, and side of the video-cassette tape cover."
March 28, 2006 - Correspondence from "Richard D. Sharp ," of the Library of Congress - Copyright Office of the United States, stating, "This letter is a correction to the certified letter for PAu-1-571-116 (Meet the Parents) sent to you on March 7, 2006. To clarify, there a no "attached photocopies" of "the front of the video-cassette tape" or the "front and side of the video-cassette tape cover. The video-cassette tape cover came in an unmarked black container ."
Tracie M. Coleman and Richard D. Sharp both gave conflicting sworn statements concerning the alleged 1991 Meet the Parents video-cassette found in a black box at the Library of Congress, claiming no labels or written copyright. (Emphasis added.)
May 19, 2006, Plaintiff Ardito was granted discovery by Magistrate Debra Freeman , which included taking the sworn deposition of Richard D. Sharp . ( When Plaintiff sought to schedule Mr. Sharp's deposition, he was informed by Tracie M. Coleman , of the Library of Congress Copyright Office , that Mr. Sharp had taken an indefinite sabbatical leave of absence to Kenya, and she did not know when he was returning.) Discovery in this case was the "linchpin and crucial factor" that would have exposed the "defendants theft ring" including and not limited to the civil liabilities and criminal liabilities encompassing the blatant theft in this case.
This plaintiff was cynical and apprehensive about Richard D. Sharp's sudden sabbatical leave of absence and decided to go to Washington, DC to further investigate the alleged original 1991 Meet The Parents videocassette with no written copyright.
On July 24, 2006, Judge Lynch suddenly stayed Magistrate Judge Debra Freeman’s May 19, 2006 Discovery Order which included taking the deposition of defendant, Richard D. Sharp and allowed Defendants to proceed with a Summary Judgment Motion - WITHOUT THE ORDERED DISCOVERY.
December 22, 2006 - Summary Judgment was granted by Judge Lynch against Chivalry Film Productions/Joseph Ardito. (“Based upon an unlabeled fraudulent video-cassette, allegedly submitted to the Copyright Office of the United States "in an unmarked black container".)
The defendants/respondents in the summary judgment motion, did not oppose any opposition or affidavits concerning the "Theft of the stolen Copyrights" relating to the transportation of stolen federal goods interstate, international , wire fraud and did not oppose the police report. In essence the defendants/respondents did not "answer or oppose" anything concerning the "theft" of this plaintiff/appellants federal protected copyrights.
March 9, 2007 – Plaintiff Joseph Ardito was present at the Library of Congress Copyright Office. (Library Card No. 604660), seeking to examine the materials submitted under copyright number PAu 1-571-116 (Meet the Parents). When this plaintiff arrived at the Library of Congress, upon requesting the alleged 1991 Meet The Parents videocassette, this plaintiff was informed it was nowhere to be found. It was later discovered, that the alleged 1991 Meet The Parents videocassette was locked in the desk of Richard D. Sharp.
Plaintiff Ardito was subsequently escorted in the office of Richard D. Sharp where, in the presence of 2 (two) Copyright Office employees, a locksmith broke open Mr. Sharp’s desk, and a black videocassette box was retrieved.
The employees from the Library of Congress contacted a locksmith that broke open the lock on Richard D. Sharp's desk with two employee witnesses and an attorney from the Library of Congress present including this plaintiff. It had been concluded that the alleged pre-dated 1991 Meet The Parents copyright was in fact marked 60 minutes to 72 minutes. The conflicting sworn statements made by Tracie Coleman and Richard D. Sharp claiming the alleged pre-dated 1991 videocassette found in a black box "unmarked with no labels" was not true.
The pre-dated 1991 Meet the Parents videocassette (video) had NO WRITTEN COPYRIGHT, and had a label reflecting 60 minutes crossed out to 72 minutes inconsistent with Richard D. Sharp and Tracie Colemans sworn statement.
After this plaintiff viewed the alleged pre-dated 1991 videocassette movie at the Library of Congress in the presence of two employees an attorney witnesses from the Library of Congress, it was concluded that the alleged pre-dated 1991 Meet The Parents video was irrelevant to the defendants NBC Universal, et al., screen plays entitled Meet the Parents (2000) , Meet the Fockers (2004) , with no relevance to the characters, scenes and setting including and not limited to Wedding Crashers (2005).
On August 28, 2007, this plaintiff requested that Inspector General Michael Peters investigate the irregularities associated with the custody and contents of the box and videocassette forcibly retrieved from Mr. Richard D. Sharp’s desk, and for a forensic analysis to be conducted. No investigation was conducted!
October 4, 2007 - United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit - 5 minute oral argument- the defendants Pryor, Cashman, Sherman & Flynn claimed the Plaintiff couldn't prove "access" and relied on revisions made by Robert Epstein part of the theft ring that sabotaged this plaintiff's complaint by working in concert and collusion with defendants NBC Universal, et al., attorneys Pryor, Cashman, Sherman and Flynn.
Judge Lynch's decision to "bar discovery" was used to protect NBC Universal, et al., the studio defendants including and not limited to the theft ring and Library of Congress as "discovery" a crucial factor in this plaintiff's 5 (five) federal protected copyrights that were stolen and used unlawfully would prove "beyond any reasonable doubt" a more stringent burden of proof than a "mere preponderance of evidence" that defendants NBC Universal, et al., through a premeditated criminal scheme were in fact guilty of stealing this plaintiff's 5 (five) federal protected copyrights and used them in the unlawful making of "Meet the Parents, "Meet the Fockers and "Wedding Crashers"!
Discovery is a crucial factor in any and cases , it's a litigation tool in the courts to prove or disprove one's case ! No case can be proven without discovery !
However , only a bias and corrupted court would "bar discovery" especially in a multi-billion dollar copyright case involving plaintiff's 5 (five) federal copyrights that were "stolen" barring depositions, investigations, the altering of federal evidence , writer frauds and a theft ring linked to plaintiff's former law firm.
Plaintiff does not believe Judge Lynch and the judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (all Clinton appointed) ever viewed defendant's alleged "horror movie" pre-dated 1991MTP videocassette video or truly read this plaintiff's 5 (five) federally protected copyrights. If they did, they would of have concluded that all of the characters, scenes and settings were extracted from this plaintiff's 5 (five) federally protected copyrights and used unlawfully and denied summary judgment!
Assuming arguendo, it's fair to say without using this plaintiff's 5 (five) federally protected copyrights - Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers and Wedding Crashers would have never existed!
The defendants’ attorneys Pryor, Cashman, Sherman and Flynn have been dealing with the Library of Congress for over 60 years. Discovery in this case was a crucial factor in exposing the truth and this plaintiff believes that defendants’ attorneys used their "conflicts of interest" in the federal court system and the Library of Congress to tamper with federal evidence perpetrating numerous frauds and crimes in the federal courts on behalf of the defendants NBC Universal et al., and the decisions by the district court and United States Court of Appeals including the Supreme Court of the United States of the United States were politically motivated in the bias court decisions in protecting the defendants NBC Universal, et al., from the billions of dollars in civil and criminal liability which warrants a senate committee investigation in the interest of justice!
The pre-dated 1991 Meet The Parents videocassette, in a nutshell, was narrated by a gas station attendant where everyone in the family was tragically killed including the dog.
The sequel to the alleged pre-dated 1991 Meet The Parents videocassette "horror movie" with NO WRITTEN COPYRIGHT found in a black box at the Library of Congress, was a tragedy at the circus that had no bearing or relevance to Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers or Wedding Crashers.
Plaintiff's 5 (five) federally protected written copyrights entitled, “The Tenant /The Dysfunctionals and The Attorneys” were all comical satires ridiculing dysfunctional families; all of the plaintiff's characters, scenes and settings, including The Attorneys that crashed weddings and funerals were originally created by this plaintiff and used by the defendants NBC Universal, et al. in the unlawful making of Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers and Wedding Crashers without plaintiff's 5 (five) federal protected copyrights "stolen" by the defendants NBC Universal, et al. the defendants screenplays entitled "Meet the Parents", "Meet the Fockers" and "Wedding Crashers" would have never existed.
The characters, scenes and settings in a 79 page comparison sheet by this plaintiff's evidence proved beyond any reasonable doubt that all of the characters, scenes and settings were in fact "extracted" from this plaintiff's 5 (five) federally protected copyrights that were stolen by the defendants NBC Universal, et al., and used unlawfully without plaintiff's consent or permission.
The sequel to plaintiff's 5 (five) federally protected copyrights was to "meet another dysfunctional family.” Squarely fitting into the Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers sequel - further proving that the defendants through a premeditated criminal scheme stole this plaintiff's 5 (five) federally protected copyrights and used them unlawfully.
On January 21, 2014, Judge Preska dismissed Plaintiff's case "sua sponte" without any consideration of the theft of the copyrighted materials , as well as the Library of Congress/Copyright Office "irregularities.”
