Case Filing



IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT​


CIVIL ACTION​



sillyjustin

Plaintiff


v.


The Commonwealth of Redmont (Department of Homeland Security)

Defendant



COMPLAINT​


The Plaintiff complains against the Defendant as follows:


WRITTEN STATEMENT FROM THE PLAINTIFF



On 6 October 2026 I was injured and went to the hospital for a doctor. The person who answered was shown by the server as a "Police Officer", not a Doctor, and was the officer who had handcuffed and charged me less than an hour earlier. I did not accept that officer as my doctor and asked for one I could identify. When a Medical Specialist arrived I accepted treatment immediately and was cured. The next day the Department of Homeland Security took $600.00 from my balance for "Abuse of Public Resources", the statutory maximum, without stating any reason. Asking for a doctor while injured is not a frivolous use of a government service. I ask the Court to reverse the fine and return the money.


I. PARTIES​


  1. sillyjustin (Plaintiff, self-represented)
  2. The Commonwealth of Redmont, acting through the Department of Homeland Security (Defendant)


II. FACTS​


All times are server time (UTC).


  1. Prior practice. On prior hospital visits the Plaintiff was treated by staff displaying a Doctor title. On 25 September 2026 at approximately 18:09 the Plaintiff told "Doctor Mofky Da Vinci" he was sick and was answered "sure i can treat u" (P-001). On 28 September 2026 at 08:38-08:39 "Doctor Maoshi Wingdings" treated the Plaintiff for an ear infection (P-003, P-004).
  2. The player who treated the Plaintiff as "Doctor Mofky Da Vinci" on 25 September also handcuffed and charged him that day as "Officer m0fky" (P-002). That player holds police powers and displayed the title "Doctor".
  3. The arrest. On 6 October 2026 at 18:50, the Plaintiff was handcuffed and charged by Officer StarKlower ("Cuffed by StarKlower"; "You are being charged with SpairBG Murder | SpairBG Murder ... - Officer StarKlower") (P-005).
  4. The hospital. At 19:43:50 the Plaintiff was injured ("Ouch! You have been hurt by a rusty object.", twice) (P-006). At 19:43:57 he paged a doctor using the Department of Health monitor, and at 19:44:12 stated in chat "i need a DOCTOR".
  5. At 19:45:01 a player responded ("hii pls follow me") displaying, in chat, "Police Officer SB NoLastName" and, in-world, the nametag "PO | StarKlower" (P-007). No Doctor title was displayed.
  6. The Plaintiff asked for a doctor: "i want a real doctor" (19:48:32) (P-008). The responder wrote "i am a real doctor"; the Plaintiff replied "says police officer" (19:48:39-47), meaning that the responder's displayed title said "Police Officer" (P-009).
  7. The Plaintiff continued to page the monitor while no responder displaying a Doctor title was present.
  8. At 19:58:37 the Plaintiff stated "I am not refusing service from a doctor" and "ur not a doctor it says police" (P-010).
  9. At 19:59:07 the responder told the Plaintiff "bro just /about me and click on jobs". The Plaintiff ran /about me, and the server returned "Please enter a valid username!" (19:59:17) (P-011). The responder then wrote "/about starklower" (19:59:18). At 19:59:27 the Plaintiff reported "i ran /about me and it says invalid username" (P-012).
  10. At 19:59:51-57 the Plaintiff asked "who is StarKlower?" and said "ur name is sb nolastname"; the responder replied "i am" (P-013). The responder was therefore Officer StarKlower, who had arrested the Plaintiff at 18:50.
  11. The Plaintiff then asked in global chat for any doctor online ("any docotors online", "so none online?") and said "ok will wait" (20:00:34-50) (P-014, P-014a).
  12. At 20:01:02 a Medical Specialist (savxzFangnhv) joined the server. At 20:01:57 the Plaintiff paged the monitor; it was his last page. The Medical Specialist was at the hospital by 20:02 (P-015, P-015a) and responded to the Plaintiff at 20:02:30 (P-016).
  13. The Medical Specialist was displayed as "MS | savxzFangnhv" and, in chat, "Medical Specialist Doge Soap McKakashi" (P-015). The Plaintiff asked in global chat "are you a doctor?", was told "stay here, brb", and replied "Thank you doc" (P-016).
  14. At 20:03:00 the Plaintiff was "cured of blockjaw" by the Medical Specialist and thanked them ("plus ur a specialist", "youre really good at your job") (P-017).
  15. At no point did the Plaintiff refuse treatment from anyone displaying a Doctor or Medical Specialist title.
  16. The fine. At 20:14:26 on 6 October 2026, DHS officer Lance Iris-Holmes messaged the Plaintiff: "why were you refusing service at the hospital?" At 20:16:02 the Plaintiff replied: "I'm invoking my right under s 33(5) [sic: s 35(5)] of the Constitution not to produce self-incriminating evidence, and my right to remain silent under the Miranda Warning Act. I won't be answering questions." The message did not state that any violation was alleged, which provision was relied on, or that a penalty was being considered.
  17. On 7 October 2026 at 15:31, the Defendant debited $600.00 from the Plaintiff's balance: "TREASURY » You have been fined $600.00 for: Outstanding Fine 1x Abuse of Public Resources" (transaction #9430080) (P-018, P-019).
  18. The debit message named the violation but stated no conduct, date or reason. No message to the Plaintiff before the debit stated that a penalty would be imposed. The Plaintiff asked in chat at the time why he had been fined and stated that no information had been given (P-021, P-021a).
  19. In the Plaintiff's DHS ticket that day, SB NoLastName, the responder described above, handled the ticket and stated that the fine was "due to spamming the hospital monitor" (P-020).
  20. $600.00 is the maximum penalty for the violation: 5 Civil Penalty Units at $120 each (Redmont Civil Code Act Part XIII §6; Part II §8(3)).
  21. On 7 October 2026 at 18:11, the Plaintiff formally contested the fine in the same ticket, asking for it to be reversed and for review by an officer other than the one involved. At 18:16 DHS officer Jayessar Kiwi was appointed to review it. At 18:36 the officer upheld the fine: "Yes, I think Abuse of Public Resources is the appropriate civil offence. ... My reasoning is as follows: You called a doctor, one attended. You refused treatment from that doctor, but nonetheless chose to make further repeated, unnecessary calls for a doctor." DHS then requested closure of the ticket with the reason "Charges and fines stand" (P-022).


III. CLAIMS FOR RELIEF​


This is a civil contest of an administrative penalty. Redmont Civil Code Act Part II §7(5) provides that an Administrative Violation, enforced by immediate penalty without trial, "can be contested before a judicial officer after enforcement." The Plaintiff has contested it with DHS first (Fact 21). The Plaintiff does not seek any change to a criminal record; he seeks only reversal of the penalty and return of the money taken.


1. Wrongful Seizure of Property - Redmont Civil Code Act Part XI §4

  • A government officer commits this violation by seizing property without lawful authority. An account balance is property. The violation does not occur where the seizure was made under a valid court order or a lawful statutory power.
  • The only power relied on is Part XIII §6 (Abuse of Public Resources), which is committed only where a person "frivolously uses a government sign service." The power exists only where that element is met.
  • It was not met. The Plaintiff was genuinely injured (Fact 4) and paged for a doctor. The responder who attended was displayed by the server as "Police Officer" and "PO", not as a doctor (Fact 5), and was the officer who had handcuffed and charged him less than an hour earlier (Facts 3, 10). The Plaintiff did not accept that officer as his doctor and asked for a doctor he could identify (Facts 6, 8, 11). When he ran the command the officer gave him, the server returned an error (Fact 9). His pages ended when a responder displaying a medical title attended, and he accepted treatment from that responder at once (Facts 12-14).
  • Declining care from a particular person is not a frivolous use of the doctor sign. The sign exists to summon a doctor, and that is what the Plaintiff used it for: a patient may ask for a doctor he can identify rather than accept treatment from the police officer who arrested him that evening. On prior visits the Plaintiff accepted treatment at once from staff displaying a Doctor title, including a player who also holds police powers (Facts 1-2).
  • DHS's stated reasoning on review (Fact 21) does not survive the record. "One attended": the only responder before the Medical Specialist was displayed by the server as "Police Officer" and "PO", with no Doctor title, and was the officer who had arrested the Plaintiff (Facts 3, 5, 10). "You refused treatment from that doctor": the Plaintiff declined care from a police officer who had arrested him that evening; he did not refuse treatment from anyone displaying a medical title (Fact 15), and accepted it immediately from the first such responder (Facts 13-14). "Unnecessary calls": the calls sought a doctor the Plaintiff could identify, for a real condition that was then cured, and they stopped as soon as such a doctor attended (Facts 12-14).
  • Part II §9(5) provides: "Administrative Violations do not require proof of harm and may only be enforced directly by a government entity. The burden of proof shall be by clear and convincing evidence." Because only a government entity may enforce an administrative violation, that burden falls on the enforcing party. The Commonwealth has itself described its position this way: "The Commonwealth is the governmental enforcing party in this action. (see Part II, § 9(5) ...)" (Commonwealth of Redmont v. kisskissy [2026] FCR 84, Post #1). Part II §4(1) provides that the Code prevails over any conflicting Act. Pages by an injured patient seeking a doctor other than the officer who had just arrested him do not prove frivolousness to that standard.
  • Where a DHS penalty is applied to conduct that does not meet the elements of the provision relied on, this Court has ordered the money returned: AsexualDinosaur v. Commonwealth of Redmont [2025] DCR 51, Post #41 ("the DHS unfairly applied the charge ... The DHS is hereby instructed to ... unfine AsexualDinosaur").
  • The seizure was therefore without lawful authority. The remedy is restitution of $600.00.


2. In the alternative: Denial of Due Process - Redmont Civil Code Act Part XI §6

  • This violation is committed by a government body that makes a decision affecting the plaintiff's rights or interests and fails to provide notice and an opportunity to be heard, or fails to follow procedures required by law. It does not occur where there is no statutory requirement to provide notice or an opportunity to be heard (§6(d)).
  • The Plaintiff accepts that the scheme permits immediate enforcement followed by a contest "before a judicial officer after enforcement" (Part II §7(5)). That right to contest presupposes that the person fined is told what is alleged against him. Here the debit named the violation but no conduct, date or reason, and no message before the debit identified a violation or said a penalty was being considered (Facts 16-18). The first explanation came, after the Plaintiff opened a ticket, from the officer whose own response was the subject of the allegation (Fact 19).
  • If the Court finds that §6(d) applies, the Plaintiff relies on Claim 1, which by itself supports the relief sought.


3. In the further alternative: reduction of the penalty - Redmont Civil Code Act Part II §5

  • If the Court finds that a violation occurred, Part II §5(1) leaves it to the judicial officer to "impose any part or the whole of the prescribed remedy or penalty", and §5(3) provides that "A judicial officer may impose a lesser remedy or penalty than the maximum provided for the violation". Part XIII §6 sets no minimum.
  • In exercising that discretion the Court must consider, among other things, "(b) the intent and conduct of the violator" and "(c) any aggravating or mitigating circumstances" (§5(2)). The circumstances are mitigating: the Plaintiff was genuinely injured (Fact 4); the responder was displayed as a police officer and was the officer who had arrested him that evening (Facts 3, 5, 10); the command he was given to check returned an error (Fact 9); and his pages ended when a doctor he could identify attended, whose treatment he accepted at once (Facts 12-14).
  • The Defendant imposed the maximum without stating any reason for choosing it (Facts 18, 20). The Plaintiff asks that any penalty be reduced and the difference returned.


IV. PRAYER FOR RELIEF​


The Plaintiff seeks the following from the Defendant:

  1. Reversal of the administrative penalty for Abuse of Public Resources (transaction #9430080), on this contest under Redmont Civil Code Act Part II §7(5) (and Part XI §6).
  2. Restitution of $600.00 under Redmont Civil Code Act Part XI §4.
  3. In the alternative, if the Court finds that a violation occurred, a reduced penalty under Part II §5(3) and return of the difference.
  4. Legal fees under Redmont Civil Code Act Part III §7(2)(a), (d) and (h): 30% of the case value, subject to the $3,000.00 District Court minimum, the Plaintiff appearing pro se.

Court Order


IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Plaintiff has filed a complaint, alleging that the Commonwealth is liable for up to $3,600 for improper execution of an administrative violation. He bases this Complaint on one primary claim and two secondary claims.

Plaintiff, in his own pleading, states that he turned down help from PO Starklower due to the individual not displaying the title of Doctor but of Police Officer. Plaintiff was then told to run the command "/about" on the individual, which was met with error. Plaintiff was then told to run the command on the username "Starklower". Plaintiff has not stated whether he did or not run this command.

Then, in Plaintiff’s pleading, Plaintiff claims that the Commonwealth charged him with Abuse of Public Resources, as defined in Part XIII § 6 of the Redmont Civil Code Act (“RCCA”), with the maximum permitted penalty of 5 Civil Penalty Points, equating to $600.

In order to file and pursue a suit, standing requirements must be met. Rule 2.1 of the Court Rules & Procedures.

The Court is concerned that Plaintiff lacks sufficient standing to pursue this Complaint, especially by Part Two of Rule 2.1. Plaintiff bears the burden of proof in this action and that is on the balance of probabilities, Plaintiff's arguments in Claim One of Complaint notwithstanding. See Judicial Standards Act, §§ 2(1)(a) and 3(1)(a). Commonwealth arguments in a pleading do not supplant statute and the Court must follow the latter. See Constitution, § 14. Plaintiff must therefore prove the Commonwealth erred by imposing the penalty.

The Court is concerned that Plaintiff provided insufficient legal basis as to why the charge should be revoked. The Hospital Monitor can only summon those with a doctor title; distrustful of that, Plaintiff has the responsibility of checking for himself using the “/about” command which is absent in the Complaint as having successfully done so. It is quite common for citizens to be employed in multiple departments and to bear the insignia of a different department than the one the citizen is working for.

The Court will consider as if the charge happened when adjudicating this Order to Show Cause and will consider facts in the most favorable light to Plaintiff.

THEREFORE, the Plaintiff is hereby ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, as to having sufficient standing, within 48 hours.

So ordered,
Magistrate Johnes

 

Brief


IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
RESPONSE TO ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Your Honour,

The Plaintiff responds to the Order to Show Cause (Post #3) and submits that each part of Rule 2.1 is met.

1. Injury caused by a clear second party

  1. The Defendant debited $600.00 from the Plaintiff's balance as a penalty for Abuse of Public Resources (Facts 17-18; P-018, P-019). The injury is personal and monetary, and the Defendant caused it by applying Redmont Civil Code Act Part XIII §6 to him.

2. The cause of injury was against the law
  1. The cause of the injury is the penalty. A penalty imposed where the elements of the violation are not met is a seizure "without lawful authority" (Part XI §4). Part XIII §6 has one element: that the person "frivolously uses a government sign service."
  2. The Code does not define "frivolously", but Redmont law gives it a clear meaning:
  3. Frivolousness is therefore judged by the purpose of the use, from the user's position at the time, not with hindsight. A call made in genuine pursuit of medical care does not become frivolous because it later proves to have been unnecessary, even if a doctor was in fact already present. Unnecessary is not frivolous.
  4. Taking the facts in the most favourable light, as the Court has said it will, the use had a genuine and serious purpose. The Plaintiff was injured and had a real condition, which was later cured (Facts 4, 14). He used the monitor to obtain medical care. His pages ended when a responder displaying a medical title attended, and he accepted treatment at once (Facts 12-14). A use with that purpose and that result is not frivolous on any of these meanings.
  5. This distinguishes Noah7899 v. Commonwealth of Redmont [2025] DCR 50, Post #4 and Capouti v. Commonwealth of Redmont [2025] DCR 49, Post #3. In each, the plaintiff's own pleading admitted every element of the charge. The Complaint here admits no element of Part XIII §6. It pleads that the Plaintiff declined care from the officer who had arrested him that evening and sought a doctor he could identify.
  6. On the Court's concern about the /about command: Part XIII §6 imposes no duty on a patient to verify a responder's jobs before summoning a doctor. The question is whether the use was frivolous. The Complaint pleads that the Plaintiff ran the command the responder gave him and that it returned an error (Fact 9). The Court observes that citizens are often employed in several departments and bear the insignia of a department other than the one they are working for. That is the Plaintiff's point: the responder bore police insignia and had arrested him, acting as police, less than an hour earlier (Facts 3, 5, 10). Whether he could have done more to verify goes to whether his pages were frivolous. That is a question of fact for trial. It does not show, on the pleadings, that the penalty was lawful. In ruling on objections in 1ILight v. coslos [2026] DCR 180, Post #21, this Court treated a disputed central issue in the same way: it "is also an important issue to be decided in trial, therefore it is premature to sustain these objections."
  7. The Court notes that the hospital monitor can only summon those with a doctor title. Even accepting that, the monitor does not tell the patient who was alerted or who is responding. It says only "DOH » You have called for a Doctor." (Fact 12; P-015a). Any player can be at the monitor within seconds. A player can set a home beside it and teleport back there at will. The Plaintiff, who holds no medical job, demonstrated this on 9 October 2026, standing in front of the monitor (P-023):
    • /sethome hospital: "Home set to current location."
    • /timestamp: "currently it is Fri Oct 09 2026 17:24:13 GMT+0000"
    • /home hospital: "Teleporting to hospital."
    Players without a doctor title were also present at the hospital during these events. A player arriving at the monitor therefore does not show the patient that this player is the doctor who was summoned. What the server did show the Plaintiff about this responder was the title "Police Officer" and the nametag "PO | StarKlower" (Fact 5).
  8. Without prejudice to his position on Part II §9(5), the Plaintiff accepts, for the purposes of this Order, the Court's direction that he bears the burden on the balance of probabilities. Standing does not require him to discharge that burden now. It requires that the facts pleaded, taken in the most favourable light, show a cause of injury that was against the law. They do.
  9. The Code itself provides for this contest. An Administrative Violation "can be contested before a judicial officer after enforcement" (Part II §7(5)). On assenting to an amendment of the Code, the President stated that "A player fined under this section retains the right to contest that fine before a judicial officer" (Redmont Civil Code Act, Post #30). Contests of DHS penalties have proceeded in this Court: AsexualDinosaur v. Commonwealth of Redmont [2025] DCR 51, Post #41 (penalty reversed where its elements were not met); Slime_Mario v. Commonwealth of Redmont [2026] DCR 148, Post #3 (administrative fines; summons issued); RainbowHorsecake v. Commonwealth of Redmont [2026] DCR 138, Post #2 (Part XIII administrative fine, contested with DHS first, as the Plaintiff has done (Fact 21)).

3. A remedy is available on a favourable decision
  1. Restitution of the $600.00 (Part XI §4) and reversal of the penalty on this contest (Part II §7(5)).
  2. In the alternative, if the Court finds that a violation occurred, a reduced penalty. Part II §5(1) leaves it to the judicial officer to "impose any part or the whole of the prescribed remedy or penalty", and §5(3) provides that "A judicial officer may impose a lesser remedy or penalty than the maximum provided for the violation." Part XIII §6 provides "Up to 5 Civil Penalty Units" with no minimum, and the Defendant imposed the maximum without stating any reason (Facts 18, 20). This also distinguishes Noah7899, where the Court could not "reduce the crime to a lesser sentence" because the charge carried a fixed penalty.

The Plaintiff therefore respectfully asks the Court to find that standing is established, to discharge the Order to Show Cause, and to issue a summons to the Defendant.

In the alternative, if the Court considers the Complaint deficient in any respect, the Plaintiff asks for leave to amend rather than dismissal, as the Court allowed in .Farmerkalechip v. Commonwealth of Redmont [2026] FCR 93, Post #2 ("ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, and amend accordingly") and 1ILight v. coslos [2026] DCR 180, Post #4.

Answer to Complaint


IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
ANSWER TO COMPLAINT

I. ANSWER TO COMPLAINT

  1. Does not contest that on prior hospital visits the Plaintiff was treated by staff displaying a Doctor title. On 25 September 2026 at approximately 18:09 the Plaintiff told "Doctor Mofky Da Vinci" he was sick and was answered "sure i can treat u" (P-001). On 28 September 2026 at 08:38-08:39 "Doctor Maoshi Wingdings" treated the Plaintiff for an ear infection (P-003, P-004).
  2. Does not contest that the player who treated the Plaintiff as "Doctor Mofky Da Vinci" on 25 September also handcuffed and charged him that day as "Officer m0fky" (P-002). That player holds police powers and displayed the title "Doctor".
  3. Does not contest that on 6 October 2026 at 18:50, the Plaintiff was handcuffed and charged by Officer StarKlower ("Cuffed by StarKlower"; "You are being charged with SpairBG Murder | SpairBG Murder ... - Officer StarKlower") (P-005).
  4. Affirms that at 19:43:50 the Plaintiff was injured ("Ouch! You have been hurt by a rusty object.", twice) (P-006). At 19:43:57 he paged a doctor using the Department of Health monitor, and at 19:44:12 stated in chat "i need a DOCTOR".
  5. Affirms that at 19:45:01 a player responded ("hii pls follow me") displaying, in chat, "Police Officer SB NoLastName" and, in-world, the nametag "PO | StarKlower" (P-007). No Doctor title was displayed.
  6. Does not contest that the Plaintiff asked for a doctor: "i want a real doctor" (19:48:32) (P-008). The responder wrote "i am a real doctor"; the Plaintiff replied "says police officer" (19:48:39-47), meaning that the responder's displayed title said "Police Officer" (P-009).
  7. Affirms that the Plaintiff continued to page the monitor while no responder displaying a Doctor title was present.
  8. Does not contest that at 19:58:37 the Plaintiff stated "I am not refusing service from a doctor" and "ur not a doctor it says police" (P-010).
  9. Does not contest that at 19:59:07 the responder told the Plaintiff "bro just /about me and click on jobs". The Plaintiff ran /about me, and the server returned "Please enter a valid username!" (19:59:17) (P-011). The responder then wrote "/about starklower" (19:59:18). At 19:59:27 the Plaintiff reported "i ran /about me and it says invalid username" (P-012).
  10. Does not contest that at 19:59:51-57 the Plaintiff asked "who is StarKlower?" and said "ur name is sb nolastname"; the responder replied "i am" (P-013). The responder was therefore Officer StarKlower, who had arrested the Plaintiff at 18:50.
  11. Does not contest that the Plaintiff then asked in global chat for any doctor online ("any docotors online", "so none online?") and said "ok will wait" (20:00:34-50) (P-014, P-014a).
  12. Does not contest that at 20:01:02 a Medical Specialist (savxzFangnhv) joined the server. At 20:01:57 the Plaintiff paged the monitor; it was his last page. The Medical Specialist was at the hospital by 20:02 (P-015, P-015a) and responded to the Plaintiff at 20:02:30 (P-016).
  13. Does not contest that the Medical Specialist was displayed as "MS | savxzFangnhv" and, in chat, "Medical Specialist Doge Soap McKakashi" (P-015). The Plaintiff asked in global chat "are you a doctor?", was told "stay here, brb", and replied "Thank you doc" (P-016).
  14. Does not contest that at 20:03:00 the Plaintiff was "cured of blockjaw" by the Medical Specialist and thanked them ("plus ur a specialist", "youre really good at your job") (P-017).
  15. Does not contest that at no point did the Plaintiff refuse treatment from anyone displaying a Doctor or Medical Specialist title.
  16. Does not contest that at 20:14:26 on 6 October 2026, DHS officer Lance Iris-Holmes messaged the Plaintiff: "why were you refusing service at the hospital?" At 20:16:02 the Plaintiff replied: "I'm invoking my right under s 33(5) [sic: s 35(5)] of the Constitution not to produce self-incriminating evidence, and my right to remain silent under the Miranda Warning Act. I won't be answering questions." The message did not state that any violation was alleged, which provision was relied on, or that a penalty was being considered.
  17. Does not contest that on 7 October 2026 at 15:31, the Defendant debited $600.00 from the Plaintiff's balance: "TREASURY » You have been fined $600.00 for: Outstanding Fine 1x Abuse of Public Resources" (transaction #9430080) (P-018, P-019).
  18. Does not contest that the debit message named the violation but stated no conduct, date or reason. No message to the Plaintiff before the debit stated that a penalty would be imposed. The Plaintiff asked in chat at the time why he had been fined and stated that no information had been given (P-021, P-021a).
  19. Does not contest that in the Plaintiff's DHS ticket that day, SB NoLastName, the responder described above, handled the ticket and stated that the fine was "due to spamming the hospital monitor" (P-020).
  20. $600.00 is the maximum penalty for the violation: 5 Civil Penalty Units at $120 each (Redmont Civil Code Act Part XIII §6; Part II §8(3)).
  21. Does not contest that on 7 October 2026 at 18:11, the Plaintiff formally contested the fine in the same ticket, asking for it to be reversed and for review by an officer other than the one involved. At 18:16 DHS officer Jayessar Kiwi was appointed to review it. At 18:36 the officer upheld the fine: "Yes, I think Abuse of Public Resources is the appropriate civil offence. ... My reasoning is as follows: You called a doctor, one attended. You refused treatment from that doctor, but nonetheless chose to make further repeated, unnecessary calls for a doctor." DHS then requested closure of the ticket with the reason "Charges and fines stand" (P-022).
II. DEFENCES

a. The administrative penalty is completely justified, as a reasonable person should assume that if a person holds multiple jobs/titles, only one will appear. Not once did the Plaintiff ask to see the Doctor's license, and the DOH Policy - Employment Policy & Code of Conduct does not require always displaying the Doctor title when tending to patients.

b. Notwithstanding the above, the Plaintiff repeatedly pressed the monitor, which fulfils the evidentiary threshold for the administrative violation Abuse of Public Resources by frivolously using a government sign service. Any press after the initial one is frivolous and holds no purpose (save a few exceptions that are not present in this case), as all Doctors have all been notified, one has responded and the material circumstances behind the Plaintiff's ailment have not changed. Since a genuine illness does not ever justify subsequent presses, the evidentiary burden is met.

 
@Superwoops I'll give you a 24-hour extension sua sponte. Please file it in the new deadline or we will enter default.
The Attorney General notes that this extension, while appreciated, was not necessary and not used by the CW as we met the original deadline of 48 + 48hrs as requested by us.
 

Answer to Complaint


IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
ANSWER TO COMPLAINT

I. ANSWER TO COMPLAINT

  1. Does not contest that on prior hospital visits the Plaintiff was treated by staff displaying a Doctor title. On 25 September 2026 at approximately 18:09 the Plaintiff told "Doctor Mofky Da Vinci" he was sick and was answered "sure i can treat u" (P-001). On 28 September 2026 at 08:38-08:39 "Doctor Maoshi Wingdings" treated the Plaintiff for an ear infection (P-003, P-004).
  2. Does not contest that the player who treated the Plaintiff as "Doctor Mofky Da Vinci" on 25 September also handcuffed and charged him that day as "Officer m0fky" (P-002). That player holds police powers and displayed the title "Doctor".
  3. Does not contest that on 6 October 2026 at 18:50, the Plaintiff was handcuffed and charged by Officer StarKlower ("Cuffed by StarKlower"; "You are being charged with SpairBG Murder | SpairBG Murder ... - Officer StarKlower") (P-005).
  4. Affirms that at 19:43:50 the Plaintiff was injured ("Ouch! You have been hurt by a rusty object.", twice) (P-006). At 19:43:57 he paged a doctor using the Department of Health monitor, and at 19:44:12 stated in chat "i need a DOCTOR".
  5. Affirms that at 19:45:01 a player responded ("hii pls follow me") displaying, in chat, "Police Officer SB NoLastName" and, in-world, the nametag "PO | StarKlower" (P-007). No Doctor title was displayed.
  6. Does not contest that the Plaintiff asked for a doctor: "i want a real doctor" (19:48:32) (P-008). The responder wrote "i am a real doctor"; the Plaintiff replied "says police officer" (19:48:39-47), meaning that the responder's displayed title said "Police Officer" (P-009).
  7. Affirms that the Plaintiff continued to page the monitor while no responder displaying a Doctor title was present.
  8. Does not contest that at 19:58:37 the Plaintiff stated "I am not refusing service from a doctor" and "ur not a doctor it says police" (P-010).
  9. Does not contest that at 19:59:07 the responder told the Plaintiff "bro just /about me and click on jobs". The Plaintiff ran /about me, and the server returned "Please enter a valid username!" (19:59:17) (P-011). The responder then wrote "/about starklower" (19:59:18). At 19:59:27 the Plaintiff reported "i ran /about me and it says invalid username" (P-012).
  10. Does not contest that at 19:59:51-57 the Plaintiff asked "who is StarKlower?" and said "ur name is sb nolastname"; the responder replied "i am" (P-013). The responder was therefore Officer StarKlower, who had arrested the Plaintiff at 18:50.
  11. Does not contest that the Plaintiff then asked in global chat for any doctor online ("any docotors online", "so none online?") and said "ok will wait" (20:00:34-50) (P-014, P-014a).
  12. Does not contest that at 20:01:02 a Medical Specialist (savxzFangnhv) joined the server. At 20:01:57 the Plaintiff paged the monitor; it was his last page. The Medical Specialist was at the hospital by 20:02 (P-015, P-015a) and responded to the Plaintiff at 20:02:30 (P-016).
  13. Does not contest that the Medical Specialist was displayed as "MS | savxzFangnhv" and, in chat, "Medical Specialist Doge Soap McKakashi" (P-015). The Plaintiff asked in global chat "are you a doctor?", was told "stay here, brb", and replied "Thank you doc" (P-016).
  14. Does not contest that at 20:03:00 the Plaintiff was "cured of blockjaw" by the Medical Specialist and thanked them ("plus ur a specialist", "youre really good at your job") (P-017).
  15. Does not contest that at no point did the Plaintiff refuse treatment from anyone displaying a Doctor or Medical Specialist title.
  16. Does not contest that at 20:14:26 on 6 October 2026, DHS officer Lance Iris-Holmes messaged the Plaintiff: "why were you refusing service at the hospital?" At 20:16:02 the Plaintiff replied: "I'm invoking my right under s 33(5) [sic: s 35(5)] of the Constitution not to produce self-incriminating evidence, and my right to remain silent under the Miranda Warning Act. I won't be answering questions." The message did not state that any violation was alleged, which provision was relied on, or that a penalty was being considered.
  17. Does not contest that on 7 October 2026 at 15:31, the Defendant debited $600.00 from the Plaintiff's balance: "TREASURY » You have been fined $600.00 for: Outstanding Fine 1x Abuse of Public Resources" (transaction #9430080) (P-018, P-019).
  18. Does not contest that the debit message named the violation but stated no conduct, date or reason. No message to the Plaintiff before the debit stated that a penalty would be imposed. The Plaintiff asked in chat at the time why he had been fined and stated that no information had been given (P-021, P-021a).
  19. Does not contest that in the Plaintiff's DHS ticket that day, SB NoLastName, the responder described above, handled the ticket and stated that the fine was "due to spamming the hospital monitor" (P-020).
  20. $600.00 is the maximum penalty for the violation: 5 Civil Penalty Units at $120 each (Redmont Civil Code Act Part XIII §6; Part II §8(3)).
  21. Does not contest that on 7 October 2026 at 18:11, the Plaintiff formally contested the fine in the same ticket, asking for it to be reversed and for review by an officer other than the one involved. At 18:16 DHS officer Jayessar Kiwi was appointed to review it. At 18:36 the officer upheld the fine: "Yes, I think Abuse of Public Resources is the appropriate civil offence. ... My reasoning is as follows: You called a doctor, one attended. You refused treatment from that doctor, but nonetheless chose to make further repeated, unnecessary calls for a doctor." DHS then requested closure of the ticket with the reason "Charges and fines stand" (P-022).
II. DEFENCES

a. The administrative penalty is completely justified, as a reasonable person should assume that if a person holds multiple jobs/titles, only one will appear. Not once did the Plaintiff ask to see the Doctor's license, and the DOH Policy - Employment Policy & Code of Conduct does not require always displaying the Doctor title when tending to patients.

b. Notwithstanding the above, the Plaintiff repeatedly pressed the monitor, which fulfils the evidentiary threshold for the administrative violation Abuse of Public Resources by frivolously using a government sign service. Any press after the initial one is frivolous and holds no purpose (save a few exceptions that are not present in this case), as all Doctors have all been notified, one has responded and the material circumstances behind the Plaintiff's ailment have not changed. Since a genuine illness does not ever justify subsequent presses, the evidentiary burden is met.

Thank you, discovery is open for 5 days.
 
IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT

SUBMISSION OF INTERROGATORIES, EVIDENCE AND WITNESS LIST

I. INTERROGATORIES


Pursuant to Rule 4.8 (Interrogatories), the Plaintiff submits the following questions for the Defendant, which the Defendant must answer within 48 hours. All times are server time (UTC).

  1. Defence (a) of the Answer to Complaint (Post #11) states that only one of a person's titles will appear. Between 19:45 and 20:02 UTC on 6 October 2026, did StarKlower hold the title "Doctor", and could StarKlower have chosen to display it, both in chat and on the in-world nametag above StarKlower's head, instead of "Police Officer" and "PO"?
  2. Is a patient required to accept treatment from the doctor who responds to their page, or to ask to see that doctor's licence first? If so, under what law or Department of Health policy?
  3. When a doctor comes online while a patient is waiting at the hospital, how does that doctor learn that the patient needs treatment?
  4. Which players received the page the Plaintiff made from the Department of Health monitor at 20:01:57 UTC on 6 October 2026, and what did each of them do after receiving it?
  5. What are the "few exceptions" referred to in Defence (b) of the Answer to Complaint (Post #11), under which a press of the monitor after the initial one is not frivolous?

II. EVIDENCE

Pursuant to Rule 4.6 (Submission of Discovery, Voluntarily), the Plaintiff submits the following evidence:

  • P-023: The Plaintiff, who holds no medical job, sets a home in front of the Department of Health monitor and teleports back to it (9 October 2026, 17:24 UTC). Commands and server replies: /sethome hospital: "Home set to current location."; /timestamp: "currently it is Fri Oct 09 2026 17:24:13 GMT+0000"; /home hospital: "Teleporting to hospital." Previously attached to the Plaintiff's response to the Order to Show Cause (Post #4); resubmitted under Rule 4.2.
  • P-024: Typing /setprefix offers a player each of their titles to choose from (here the Plaintiff's: "Firearms Licence", Accountant, Armourer, Entrepreneur, Fisher, Solicitor, Treasury), with /timestamp "Thu Oct 15 2026 03:14:06 GMT+0000". A player chooses which title is displayed. The command was typed but not sent.
  • P-025: The Plaintiff runs /setprefix twice. The server replies "Your prefix has been set to: Fisher" and his next chat message shows "Fisher sillyjustin"; it then replies "Your prefix has been set to: Solicitor" and his next message shows "Solicitor sillyjustin". /timestamp: "Thu Oct 15 2026 03:27:13 GMT+0000". The displayed title changes at once to whichever title the player chooses.
  • P-026a and P-026b: Screenshots taken by another player, Zeynard, looking at the Plaintiff. At 03:43:52 UTC on 15 October 2026 the Plaintiff's in-world nametag reads "FI | silly.justin" (Fisher); at 03:44:42 UTC, 50 seconds later, after /setprefix, it reads "SL | silly.justin" (Solicitor). Each screenshot shows Zeynard's /timestamp. The overhead tag that other players see changes as quickly as the chat title; compare "PO | StarKlower" (P-007).
  • P-027: The government transaction log, as published by the Department of State in its Budget Reports, records one fine for Abuse of Public Resources between October 2025 and April 2026: "DHS » Gooseguy1934 has been fined $100 by pricelessAgrari for Abuse of Public Resources." (Budget Report - December 2025).
  • P-028: The Budget Reports for February, March and April 2026, covering the period after the Redmont Civil Code Act took effect, record no fine for Abuse of Public Resources (February 2026; March 2026; April 2026).

III. WITNESS LIST

Pursuant to Rule 4.9 (Witness Protocol), the Plaintiff announces the following witness:

  1. MadMan127 ("MadMan Olive-Garden"), Doctor, Department of Health. To testify to the general practice of doctors regarding the title they display when attending patients.

IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT

REQUEST FOR DISCOVERY


Your Honour,

Pursuant to Rule 4.7 (Request for Discovery, Opposing Party Movement), the Plaintiff requests that the Defendant produce the following:

  1. The record of the penalty in transaction #9430080 ($600.00, 7 October 2026): the issuing officer, the report or ticket that led to it, the evidence relied on, and any record of why 5 Civil Penalty Units were chosen, other than the ticket messages already in evidence (P-020, P-022).
  2. Any Department of Homeland Security policy, guidance or instruction on when to impose the Abuse of Public Resources penalty and how to set its amount.
  3. The entries in the government transaction log recording fines for Abuse of Public Resources between 1 May 2026 and 7 October 2026, showing the date and amount of each, with names redacted.
  4. For each fine identified in item 3, a short summary of the conduct penalised and the reason for the amount chosen, with names redacted.

Relevance

  • The Attorney General has already approved the release of items 1 and 2 in response to the Plaintiff's Freedom of Information request.

  • Items 1 and 2 go to whether the element of Redmont Civil Code Act Part XIII §6 was met, and to the amount of the penalty
    under Part II §5 (Claim 3).

  • Item 3 goes to the amount of the penalty and the consistency of its enforcement (Claim 3). The Department of State published these entries in its Budget Reports until April 2026 (P-027, P-028), but has not published them since. The latest report states: "As the Department of State is still updating procedures in relation to the transaction reports, parts of the report are not released yet. They will be released at a later date." (Budget Report - September 2026).

  • Item 4 shows whether comparable conduct received comparable penalties. Part II §5 lets a judicial officer impose "any part or the whole" of a penalty and "a lesser remedy or penalty than the maximum", so the Court can only judge whether the maximum fits this case by seeing what conduct has drawn which amount. A date and amount alone (item 3) do not show that. Item 4 is limited to the fines found under item 3 and asks only for a short summary, so it adds little burden. The record suggests there will be few such fines, if any: the published log shows one fine for this violation between October 2025 and April 2026, and none from February to April 2026 (P-027, P-028).

Precedent

The courts have ordered the Commonwealth to produce its internal records of the decision under challenge: Discord entries and tickets concerning an eviction (YeetGlazer v. Commonwealth of Redmont [2025] FCR 76, Post #61), and an officer's logs and commands relating to the Plaintiff's arrest (Munkler v. Commonwealth of Redmont [2025] DCR 42, Post #35). Material ordered under Rule 4.7 "must be given by the opposing party ... under sanction of contempt of court and perjury" (Inknet v. Commonwealth of Redmont [2025] FCR 86, Post #44). The items requested here are not already in the record.

Motion


IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
MOTION TO COMPEL

Your Honour,

On 15 October 2026 at 04:59 UTC the Plaintiff served five interrogatories (Post #14) under Rule 4.8, and at 05:58 UTC a request for documents (Post #15) under Rule 4.7. Rule 4.8 requires objections "within 24 hours" and answers "within 48 hours of being asked". The Defendant has not objected, answered or produced anything, and the time to answer expired on 17 October 2026 at 04:59 UTC.

The Defendant has not contacted the Plaintiff about the interrogatories or the request for documents, and has not asked the Court or the Plaintiff for more time.

The Plaintiff therefore asks the Court to:

  1. Order the Defendant to answer the interrogatories in Post #14, and to produce the material requested in Post #15, within 24 hours.
  2. If the Defendant does not comply, draw adverse inferences from the omission, as the Court did in Slime_Mario v. Commonwealth of Redmont [2026] DCR 166, Post #25 ("Adverse inferences may be drawn in omission"), including that:
    • StarKlower held the title "Doctor" and could have displayed it instead of "Police Officer" (Interrogatory 1);
    • no law or Department of Health policy requires a patient to accept the responding doctor or to ask to see that doctor's licence (Interrogatory 2);
    • a doctor who comes online learns that a patient is waiting from the patient's page, and the Plaintiff's page at 20:01:57 UTC reached the Medical Specialist who then treated him (Interrogatories 3 and 4);
    • a page made after a new doctor comes online is an exception to Defence (b) (Interrogatory 5).
  3. Extend discovery under Rule 4.4 by the time needed for the Defendant to comply, so that the Plaintiff can enter the answers and material before discovery closes.

Respectfully submitted,

Motion


IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
MOTION TO COMPEL

Your Honour,

On 15 October 2026 at 04:59 UTC the Plaintiff served five interrogatories (Post #14) under Rule 4.8, and at 05:58 UTC a request for documents (Post #15) under Rule 4.7. Rule 4.8 requires objections "within 24 hours" and answers "within 48 hours of being asked". The Defendant has not objected, answered or produced anything, and the time to answer expired on 17 October 2026 at 04:59 UTC.

The Defendant has not contacted the Plaintiff about the interrogatories or the request for documents, and has not asked the Court or the Plaintiff for more time.

The Plaintiff therefore asks the Court to:

  1. Order the Defendant to answer the interrogatories in Post #14, and to produce the material requested in Post #15, within 24 hours.
  2. If the Defendant does not comply, draw adverse inferences from the omission, as the Court did in Slime_Mario v. Commonwealth of Redmont [2026] DCR 166, Post #25 ("Adverse inferences may be drawn in omission"), including that:
    • StarKlower held the title "Doctor" and could have displayed it instead of "Police Officer" (Interrogatory 1);
    • no law or Department of Health policy requires a patient to accept the responding doctor or to ask to see that doctor's licence (Interrogatory 2);
    • a doctor who comes online learns that a patient is waiting from the patient's page, and the Plaintiff's page at 20:01:57 UTC reached the Medical Specialist who then treated him (Interrogatories 3 and 4);
    • a page made after a new doctor comes online is an exception to Defence (b) (Interrogatory 5).
  3. Extend discovery under Rule 4.4 by the time needed for the Defendant to comply, so that the Plaintiff can enter the answers and material before discovery closes.

Respectfully submitted,

sillyjustin
Plaintiff (self-represented)

DATED: This 18th day of October, 2026.

I'll give the CW 48 hours to respond, discovery is extended appropriately to fit the deadline. This applies to all pending compel requests before the Court.

The right to object to such requests is extended 24 hours from this post.

No further extensions will be granted at this time.
 
  1. Defence (a) of the Answer to Complaint (Post #11) states that only one of a person's titles will appear. Between 19:45 and 20:02 UTC on 6 October 2026, did StarKlower hold the title "Doctor", and could StarKlower have chosen to display it, both in chat and on the in-world nametag above StarKlower's head, instead of "Police Officer" and "PO"?
  2. Is a patient required to accept treatment from the doctor who responds to their page, or to ask to see that doctor's licence first? If so, under what law or Department of Health policy?
  3. When a doctor comes online while a patient is waiting at the hospital, how does that doctor learn that the patient needs treatment?
  4. Which players received the page the Plaintiff made from the Department of Health monitor at 20:01:57 UTC on 6 October 2026, and what did each of them do after receiving it?
  5. What are the "few exceptions" referred to in Defence (b) of the Answer to Complaint (Post #11), under which a press of the monitor after the initial one is not frivolous?
Apologies, your honour. I saw your message and it said it was sent "Yesterday" last night. I assumed I had over 24hrs left in Discovery.

1. They held the job "Doctor". It is not in the Commonwealth's knowledge whether they displayed it, but they could have chosen to display it.
2. The patient is not required, as in forced, to accept treatment in any case, nor are they required to request the Doctor's license.
3. There is a feature that relays all DOH monitor alerts to all Doctors.
4. All DOH employees did, because of response three. It is impossible to know what every single Doctor did after that.
5. For example, if a significant amount of time has passed after the first press, and no response has come, a second press may be warranted. Also, sometimes a Doctor requires another press for the plugin to properly recognise the patient.
 
  1. The record of the penalty in transaction #9430080 ($600.00, 7 October 2026): the issuing officer, the report or ticket that led to it, the evidence relied on, and any record of why 5 Civil Penalty Units were chosen, other than the ticket messages already in evidence (P-020, P-022).
  2. Any Department of Homeland Security policy, guidance or instruction on when to impose the Abuse of Public Resources penalty and how to set its amount.
  3. The entries in the government transaction log recording fines for Abuse of Public Resources between 1 May 2026 and 7 October 2026, showing the date and amount of each, with names redacted.
  4. For each fine identified in item 3, a short summary of the conduct penalised and the reason for the amount chosen, with names redacted.

  1. See evidence below. There is no clear guide on what fine to choose.
  2. There is no direct policy or guidance on what to impose the penalty for on any civil violation that says "Up to". DHS normally charges the maximum, as most civil violations don't have a real "scaling" possibility.
  3. DHS only recently got access to their government transaction log yesterday. From what is available to them: 6 October 2026 - $600, 6 October 2026 - $600
  4. The conduct penalised is Abuse of Public Resources, the Commonwealth is not comfortable handing out any further information if not under Court Order.

Objection


IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
OBJECTION - BREACH OF PROCEDURE

Your Honour,

The Plaintiff objects to D-001, D-002, D-003 and D-004 (Posts #21 and #22) and asks that they be struck, or in the alternative that the Court not rely on them.

I. The evidence was filed after discovery closed

  1. On 18 October 2026 at 09:47 UTC the Court gave the Defendant 48 hours, extended discovery "appropriately to fit the deadline", and stated: "No further extensions will be granted at this time." (Post #18). Discovery therefore closed on 20 October 2026 at 09:47 UTC.
  2. The Defendant filed D-001 to D-003 at 13:29 UTC and D-004 at 13:33 UTC, almost four hours after discovery closed, "if the Court would allow".
  3. Rule 4.2 admits only material in the complaint, the answer, an amendment, or "a discovery submission. Otherwise the material will be deemed inadmissible."
  4. The courts apply this strictly: "evidence must not be submitted outside of discovery, unless it was otherwise ordered to be produce[d]" (Monzter9697 v. Mistery3597 [2026] DCR 65, Post #26); "This Court will not rely on D-001/D-002 ... on verdict" (The Forge v. roy405 and PhatCat2200 [2026] DCR 154, Post #126); facts not brought up in discovery "will be disregarded pursuant to Court Rules and Procedures Rule 4.2", and counsel was "warned to avoid ambushing opposing parties" (Vanguard Co. v. Naezaratheus [2025] FCR 32, Post #59).
  5. D-001 to D-004 were not ordered to be produced. The Plaintiff's Rule 4.7 request did not ask for them. They are new evidence the Defendant chose to volunteer after the deadline.

II. The Defendant has already had every chance

  1. Answer to Complaint: an extension on request (Post #9), then a further 24-hour extension the Court gave on its own motion (Post #10).
  2. Interrogatories (Post #14) and the Rule 4.7 request (Post #15): no objection within 24 hours and no answer within 48 hours, as Rule 4.8 requires.
  3. After the Plaintiff's motion to compel (Post #17), the Court gave a further 48 hours and reopened the right to object (Post #18). The Defendant missed that deadline too.
  4. The Defendant says it "saw your message and it said it was sent 'Yesterday' last night" (Post #19). The reactions on Post #18 show that the Attorney General reacted to the Court's order on 19 October 2026 at 15:01 UTC, almost 19 hours before the deadline.
  5. The Defendant was represented throughout by the Attorney General, who has sat as a judge of this Court. Reading "Yesterday" on a post does not change a deadline stated in hours.
  6. The Plaintiff, who is self-represented, has met every deadline in this case.

The courts hold the Commonwealth to its deadlines. When the Commonwealth failed to file an answer in time, the Supreme Court held that it "has forfeited its right to file an answer to the complaint filed" (MilkCrack v. Commonwealth of Redmont [2024] SCR 5, Post #11). This Court has told a party that after a final extension "you forfeit your right" to the step missed (1ILight v. coslos [2026] DCR 180, Post #64). Admitting new evidence now would reward the missed deadline and leave the Plaintiff no discovery period in which to answer it.

III. In the alternative, D-001 and D-004 prove nothing about 6 October

  1. D-001 is an editable text log with no date. Under Rule 4.6, such logs "are presumed correct unless challenged." The Plaintiff challenges it.
  2. D-004 does not verify D-001. In it, the Attorney General told staff the logs "should have happened on 25 September 2026". The events in this case occurred on 6 October 2026. D-004 records no check of the logs by staff. Staff replied only: "Assumption is that they are true unless challenged." That is the same presumption as Rule 4.6, not a verification, and the Plaintiff challenges it.

IV. What the Plaintiff does not object to

The Plaintiff does not object to the Defendant's interrogatory answers (Post #19) or to DISCOVERY-001 (Post #20). Those were produced under the Court's order (Post #18) in response to the Plaintiff's own requests, and the Plaintiff asks that they be received despite their lateness.

V. Item 4 was not produced

The Defendant declined item 4 of the Plaintiff's Rule 4.7 request "if not under Court Order" (Post #20). Post #18 ordered production of "all pending compel requests", and no objection was made within the time the Court allowed. The Plaintiff asks the Court to order item 4 produced within 24 hours, or to draw the inference that the Defendant imposes the maximum penalty for this violation without regard to the conduct, which is consistent with its statement that "DHS normally charges the maximum" (Post #20).

Objection


IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
OBJECTION - BREACH OF PROCEDURE

Your Honour,

The Plaintiff objects to D-001, D-002, D-003 and D-004 (Posts #21 and #22) and asks that they be struck, or in the alternative that the Court not rely on them.

I. The evidence was filed after discovery closed

  1. On 18 October 2026 at 09:47 UTC the Court gave the Defendant 48 hours, extended discovery "appropriately to fit the deadline", and stated: "No further extensions will be granted at this time." (Post #18). Discovery therefore closed on 20 October 2026 at 09:47 UTC.
  2. The Defendant filed D-001 to D-003 at 13:29 UTC and D-004 at 13:33 UTC, almost four hours after discovery closed, "if the Court would allow".
  3. Rule 4.2 admits only material in the complaint, the answer, an amendment, or "a discovery submission. Otherwise the material will be deemed inadmissible."
  4. The courts apply this strictly: "evidence must not be submitted outside of discovery, unless it was otherwise ordered to be produce[d]" (Monzter9697 v. Mistery3597 [2026] DCR 65, Post #26); "This Court will not rely on D-001/D-002 ... on verdict" (The Forge v. roy405 and PhatCat2200 [2026] DCR 154, Post #126); facts not brought up in discovery "will be disregarded pursuant to Court Rules and Procedures Rule 4.2", and counsel was "warned to avoid ambushing opposing parties" (Vanguard Co. v. Naezaratheus [2025] FCR 32, Post #59).
  5. D-001 to D-004 were not ordered to be produced. The Plaintiff's Rule 4.7 request did not ask for them. They are new evidence the Defendant chose to volunteer after the deadline.

II. The Defendant has already had every chance

  1. Answer to Complaint: an extension on request (Post #9), then a further 24-hour extension the Court gave on its own motion (Post #10).
  2. Interrogatories (Post #14) and the Rule 4.7 request (Post #15): no objection within 24 hours and no answer within 48 hours, as Rule 4.8 requires.
  3. After the Plaintiff's motion to compel (Post #17), the Court gave a further 48 hours and reopened the right to object (Post #18). The Defendant missed that deadline too.
  4. The Defendant says it "saw your message and it said it was sent 'Yesterday' last night" (Post #19). The reactions on Post #18 show that the Attorney General reacted to the Court's order on 19 October 2026 at 15:01 UTC, almost 19 hours before the deadline.
  5. The Defendant was represented throughout by the Attorney General, who has sat as a judge of this Court. Reading "Yesterday" on a post does not change a deadline stated in hours.
  6. The Plaintiff, who is self-represented, has met every deadline in this case.

The courts hold the Commonwealth to its deadlines. When the Commonwealth failed to file an answer in time, the Supreme Court held that it "has forfeited its right to file an answer to the complaint filed" (MilkCrack v. Commonwealth of Redmont [2024] SCR 5, Post #11). This Court has told a party that after a final extension "you forfeit your right" to the step missed (1ILight v. coslos [2026] DCR 180, Post #64).

OPPOSITIONAL STATEMENT - EXTENSION OF DISCOVERY


Your Honour,

Under Rule 4.4, the Plaintiff states his position on the Defendant's request to extend discovery (Post #24):

  1. The Plaintiff opposes any extension or reopening of discovery for any purpose other than item 4. The Defendant should not be permitted to submit D-001 to D-004 again, or any other new evidence, after the deadline in Post #18 ("No further extensions will be granted at this time").

  2. The Plaintiff does not oppose a short period for the Defendant to produce item 4 of his Rule 4.7 request ONLY. That item was already covered by the Court's order in Post #18.

The Court also recognizes the amount of work the Commonwealth is under but notes that any further breaches of the deadlines imposed will be met with penalties.

IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT

PLAINTIFF'S RESPONSE TO ADMITTED EVIDENCE AND JUSTIFICATION OF ITEM 4


Your Honour,

The Plaintiff responds to the Court's order (Post #26).

I. Justification of item 4

Item 4 asks, for each fine for Abuse of Public Resources since 1 May 2026, for a short summary of the conduct penalised and the reason for the amount, with names redacted. It is pertinent for three reasons:

  1. What the Defendant treats as "frivolous". The only element of Redmont Civil Code Act Part XIII §6 is that a sign service was used "frivolously". The Defendant's position is that "any press after the initial one is frivolous" (Post #11), yet its own evidence shows another patient paging twice within minutes (D-003). Whether the Defendant penalises comparable conduct shows whether its reading of "frivolously" is the one it actually applies.
  2. The amount (Claim 3). The Defendant states that "DHS normally charges the maximum, as most civil violations don't have a real 'scaling' possibility" (Post #20). Part II §5 lets the Court impose "a lesser remedy or penalty than the maximum". The conduct behind the other recorded fines shows whether the maximum is applied regardless of what the person did.
  3. The second fine. The Defendant's log shows two fines of $600 on 6 October 2026 (Post #20). The Plaintiff does not know whether the second relates to him, to the same events, or to someone else. Item 4 answers that.

Item 4 also meets the tests this Court has applied to discovery requests. In 1ILight v. coslos [2026] DCR 180, Post #25, the Court denied requests for material "already present in evidence", requests that were not "feasible", and requests that were "too broad". Item 4 is none of these: the conduct behind the other fines is not in evidence, the Defendant's own log shows only two entries in the period (Post #20), and the request asks only for a short summary of each, with names redacted. It serves the purpose of discovery "to allow all material to enter the court prior to the beginning of arguments for the sake of fairness" (Rule 4.1).

II. New evidence in response

The Plaintiff waives the opportunity to submit new evidence in response.

Court Order


IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
ORDER – DISCOVERY REQUEST

Plaintiff requested in line with Rule 4.7 of the Court Rules & Procedures the production of logs of fines for the administrative violation of Abuse of Public Resources, as defined in Part XIII, § 6 of the Redmont Civil Code Act ("RCCA"). Plaintiff further argues that the request is feasible and that it's not overly broad.

In response, Defendant responded that they have no issue in providing the logs if so ordered by the Court.

The Court has an issue with compelling a potential high number of fines lodged for Plaintiff to prove frivolousness. All of the material requested would be of third-party nature, the redaction of names notwithstanding. The Court will not rule on the feasibility of such a request, both for the reason that the Commonwealth itself inclined to fulfill the request and for the irrelevance of such a finding to this ruling. The Court will focus on examining the broadness and reasonableness of the request.

First we will turn to the case law on this issue. In Slime_Mario v. Commonwealth of Redmont and Vernicia [2026] DCR 148, the District Court denied the compel request to compel the Commonwealth to produce every penalty imposed on Vernicia for an administrative violation in the RCCA for the request being overly broad and prejudicial to the defendant in said case. The Court finds the former reason to apply to this case. Plaintiff asks for the release of potentially a high number of recorded violations by the Commonwealth done by persons not parties to this case.

Second we will address the reasonableness of this request. Plaintiff's request seeks to gain insight into the scaling of the penalties and to assess frivolousness. The Court finds no reason to support its reasonableness on this alone. Requesting internal information to gain information which has been answered in a sworn response to an interrogatory is unreasonable if not frivolous.

For the foregoing reasons, the Court denies the compel request and no order to compel the material underlying will be issued.

So ordered,
Magistrate Johnes

MOTION TO RECONSIDER

Your Honour,

The Plaintiff respectfully asks the Court to reconsider its order of 21 October 2026 (Post #28) denying item 4, which was refused on the ground that it would compel "a potential high number of fines".

The number is known: two. In answer to item 3, the Defendant identified two fines for Abuse of Public Resources in the period: "6 October 2026 - $600, 6 October 2026 - $600" (Post #20). One of the two appears to be the Plaintiff's own fine (P-019). Item 4 therefore asks for a short description of at most two fines, and likely only one belonging to a third party, with the name redacted.

The Order also states that the scaling of the penalties "has been answered in a sworn response to an interrogatory". The Plaintiff asked how the amount was chosen only in the Rule 4.7 request (Post #15), not in the interrogatories (Post #14). The statement that "DHS normally charges the maximum" was made in the Defendant's response to the Rule 4.7 request (Post #20), and the conduct behind the other fine has not been described at all.

The Plaintiff asks the Court to confirm whether it considered that item 4 concerns only these two fines (one likely being the Plaintiff's own) and, if not, to order the Defendant to provide a short description of the conduct penalised in the fine that is not the Plaintiff's, with the name redacted.

I apologize, I got a bit confused there.

Still, the Court sees the request for conduct irrelevant. The case concerns Plaintiff's conduct and we do not feel any need to include third-parties conduct in this case without cause. The Court understands that Plaintiff wishes to establish a standard for frivolousness but that does not outweight the potential third-party's individual's privacy rights, redaction of name notwithstanding. For the foregoing, the Court finds insufficient reason to include potentially third-party's information and the MtR is denied.

If you disagree, file an interlocutory appeal, otherwise you have 72 h to post an opening statement. (@sillyjustin)
 

Opening Statement


IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT​


PLAINTIFF'S OPENING STATEMENT​


Your Honour,

This case turns on one word, "frivolously". In a democratic society, may a department charge the maximum every time, without weighing anyone's conduct, as the Defendant admits it does (Post #20)?

On 6 October 2026 the Plaintiff was injured (P-006). He paged the Department of Health monitor fourteen times for a doctor (D-002). The Defendant counts them; it does not explain them. Every one of those pages was a genuine call for help. The person who answered was displayed by the server as "Police Officer", in chat and above their head (P-007), and was the officer who had handcuffed him an hour earlier (P-005). StarKlower was a doctor (Answer to Interrogatory 1, Post #19). The only information put in front of the Plaintiff, however, said police officer, not doctor (P-007, P-009). Whether that was deliberate or not, it was not of the Plaintiff's making, and he cannot be penalised for acting on it. He asked for "a real doctor" (P-008), said "I am not refusing service from a doctor" (P-010), and kept paging until a Medical Specialist arrived (P-015). He accepted treatment at once, thanked them, and was cured within a minute (P-016, P-017). The Commonwealth fined him the maximum, $600 (P-018, P-019).

As the Court has said, this case concerns the Plaintiff's conduct (Post #31). The test is not whether the pages were many or unnecessary in hindsight, but whether they were frivolous. His purpose is shown by what he did when a doctor he could identify appeared: "Thank you doc" (P-016).

I. FACTS

The Defendant affirmed or did not contest every fact in the Complaint (Post #11). Those that matter here:

  1. 18:50 UTC: Officer StarKlower handcuffed and charged the Plaintiff (P-005).

  2. 19:43:50: the Plaintiff was injured and, seven seconds later, paged a doctor (P-006).

  3. 19:45:01: the responder appeared as "Police Officer SB NoLastName" and "PO | StarKlower". "No Doctor title was displayed" (P-007, affirmed). The command the responder gave him, /about me, returned an error (P-011).

  4. 20:00: he asked in global chat for any doctor online and said "ok will wait" (P-014).

  5. 20:01:02: a Medical Specialist came online. 20:01:57: the Plaintiff's last page. 20:02: the Medical Specialist reached him. 20:03:00: cured (P-015 to P-017).

  6. "At no point did the Plaintiff refuse treatment from anyone displaying a Doctor or Medical Specialist title" (Post #11, not contested).

  7. He was fined 5 Civil Penalty Units with no reason stated (P-018, P-019). The internal review upheld it because he "refused treatment from that doctor" (P-022).

II. ISSUES

  1. Whether the Plaintiff's pages were a frivolous use of a government sign service under Part XIII §6.

  2. If any were, whether 5 Civil Penalty Units was warranted under Part II §5.

III. APPLICABLE LAW

A.
Redmont Civil Code Act Part XIII §6:

6. Abuse of Public Resources
Violation Type: Administrative
Remedy: Up to 5 Civil Penalty Units
A person commits a violation if the person:
(a) frivolously uses a government sign service.

The violation has one element: that the use was frivolous. The Code uses "frivolous" to mean "without genuine intent" (Part XIII §10), and the courts treat something that merely proves unnecessary as not frivolous (Inknet v. Commonwealth of Redmont [2025] FCR 86, Post #99).

B. Part II §5, so far as relevant:

(2) In exercising discretion, the judicial officer shall consider:
(a) the nature and seriousness of the violation;
(b) the intent and conduct of the violator;
(c) any aggravating or mitigating circumstances;
(d) the violator's history of compliance or non-compliance;
(e) the protection of the community and the deterrence of future violations.
(3) A judicial officer may impose a lesser remedy or penalty than the maximum provided for the violation, or a combination of remedies ...

C. The Code "shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the principles of natural justice" (Part II §1(1)), and courts "must avoid construing provisions in a manner that produces absurd, unjust, or unintended results" (Part II §2(1)). This Court applied the identical Criminal Code provision against the Commonwealth this month (lnvlsbie v. Department of Homeland Security [2026] DCR 115, Post #44).

IV. ANALYSIS

A. Defence (a): "only one title will appear"


  1. Which title appears is the player's choice. /setprefix switches between every title a player holds, in chat and on the nametag (P-024 to P-026b). StarKlower was told how to do this on 4 August 2026 and displayed "Trainee Doctor" afterwards (P-029, P-030). The Defendant admits StarKlower "held the job 'Doctor'" and "could have chosen to display it" (Answer to Interrogatory 1, Post #19).

  2. Defence (a) asks what "a reasonable person should assume". The Code reserves that standard for Negligent violations (Part II §9(3)); this is an Administrative violation, and its element is the user's purpose. "Should does not mean did" (Commonwealth of Redmont v. Luke201556 [2026] FCR 15, Post #123).

  3. The Defendant agrees a patient "is not required ... to accept treatment in any case, nor ... to request the Doctor's license" (Answer to Interrogatory 2, Post #19). The /about point raised in the Order to Show Cause (Post #3) predates that concession. The question is purpose, not diligence, and a patient who may decline treatment altogether does not act frivolously by asking for a doctor he can recognise as one.

  4. The Plaintiff's expectation came from his own experience: the doctors who had treated him before displayed "Doctor", including one who also holds police powers (P-001 to P-004). A Department of Health doctor, MadMan127, will testify to the general practice (Witness List, Post #14). A patient who relies on that practice is not acting without genuine intent.

B. Defence (b): "any press after the initial one is frivolous"

  1. That rule is not in the Code. Congress wrote "frivolously", not "more than once" (Part XIII §6). "Departmental guidance cannot add a condition that Congress did not envision" (MMiqa v. Department of Homeland Security [2026] DCR 77, Post #113).

  2. The Defendant's own answers concede that a further press "may be warranted" when time passes without a response or the plugin needs it (Answer to Interrogatory 5, Post #19). Whether a press is frivolous therefore depends on the circumstances. Here, eighteen minutes after his first page, no one presenting as a doctor had treated him (P-006, P-007, P-015).

  3. The last page proves the point. A Medical Specialist came online at 20:01:02, after every earlier page (P-015, D-002). The Defendant admits the 20:01:57 page reached "All DOH employees" (Answer to Interrogatory 4), and that doctor reached the Plaintiff within a minute (P-015a, P-016). The "material circumstances" had changed.

  4. The Defendant concedes a "genuine illness" (Answer, Defence (b), Post #11). Every page was made by a sick, untreated patient at the hospital trying to reach a doctor (P-006, D-002). Fourteen pages measure how long he went untreated, not an absence of purpose.

  5. "Any press after the initial one is frivolous" is plainly wrong, and the Defendant knows it. Paging more than once until a doctor arrives is ordinary: the Defendant's own exhibit shows another patient paging twice within minutes the same evening (D-003), and its own answer concedes a further press "may be warranted" when time passes without a response (Answer to Interrogatory 5, Post #19). If every second press were a violation, the Defendant's log would be full of fines. It shows two in five months (Post #20), and the published reports show one in the six months before that (P-027, P-028). Either the rule does not exist, or the Defendant does not apply it.

C. The amount

  1. The remedy is "Up to 5 Civil Penalty Units" (Part XIII §6). The Defendant admits there is "no clear guide on what fine to choose" and that "DHS normally charges the maximum" (Post #20). No one weighed this conduct; $600 was the default.

  2. The internal review rested on a refusal of "that doctor" (P-022). The Defendant does not contest that the responder displayed no Doctor title and that the Plaintiff never refused anyone displaying one (Post #11). The review assumed the answer to the question now before the Court.

V. BURDEN

Without prejudice to Part II §9(5), the Plaintiff accepts the Court's direction (Post #3) that he bears the burden on the balance of probabilities. He has met it with evidence uploaded under Rule 4.6 (P-001 to P-030); every fact pleaded in the Complaint the Defendant affirmed or did not contest (Post #11).

The Defendant has proved that he paged. It has produced no evidence that any page was frivolous.

On the admitted facts, it is more likely than not that every page had a genuine medical purpose.

VI. RELIEF

  1. Reversal of the penalty and restitution of $600.00 (Part II §7(5); Part XI §4).

  2. In the alternative, a penalty of no more than 1 Civil Penalty Unit ($120) under Part II §5(3), with restitution of the balance.

  3. Legal fees of $3,000, the District Court minimum under Part III §7(2)(d), as awarded to a self-represented plaintiff in MMiqa v. Department of Homeland Security [2026] DCR 77, Post #113.

Opening Statement


IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
OPENING STATEMENT

Your Honor,

In this case, the Defendant requested a Doctor, and then ignored the one provided. The Defendant argued that they didn’t know, but they could’ve checked their /jobs the entire time. They also argue that frivolously has a specific definition, but in that, they simply ignore the law.

I. DOCTOR’S TITLE

Firstly, the Plaintiff has argued that they didn’t know the Doctor serving them was a Doctor, because they had a different prefix. The Doctor serving them is StarKlower, a Doctor at the Department of Health and a Police Officer at the Department of Homeland Security. This itself is no crime. An individual can work multiple jobs.

StarKlower asked the Plaintiff to follow them back, and directly told them they were a doctor (P-007, P-009). The Plaintiff showed their ignorance by saying “says police officer” and not even running the command the valid Doctor told them to (P-010, P-011, P-012). The Plaintiff then noted that they would wait for a valid Medical Specialist to come on (P-014). However, in that time they spammed the hospital monitor, after denying the service from the valid Doctor. There is no real purpose or value in spamming a monitor after DENYING treatment. If the intent behind spamming the monitor was to call a “real” Doctor, they already did by calling StarKlower, then proceeding to completely ignore them.

II. FRIVOLOUS DEFINITION

The Plaintiff has argued that this case depends on one word, frivolous, and sure, the Defense can go with that. In support of their argument, the Plaintiff points out one definition of frivolous in the Redmont Civil Code Act (RCCA). The Plaintiff has argued that RCCA Part XIII §10 determines that frivolous means “without genuine intent.” However, the Plaintiff makes this claim based off of the name, “Frivolous Government Application.” The Defense notes that this is specifically one violation, and that an adjective on a charge does not determine an actual definition of that adjective. However, to point out another scenario, the Defense notes that the Criminal Code Act (CCA), specifically Part III §4, can determine frivolous as something with “no serious purpose or value”. This comes from the charge of Frivolous Court case, another example where the definition partially comes from the name.

If the Court does decide that an adjective can have bearing on the definition, then the CCA definition works directly in favor of the Defense. Spamming a hospital monitor after denying treatment from a valid Doctor obviously has no serious purpose or value. If they wanted treatment, they could have accepted it from the Doctor, but instead denied it because they wanted to see a title. The Plaintiff makes no argument on why a title allows them to pick their Doctor at will, and cites no law that supports it. A medical system provided by the Government, but a title that holds no bearing decides who serves. That’s what the Plaintiff is arguing.

The Defense offers a different idea. Based on what has been argued here, it seems like frivolous could mean something along the lines of without purpose, value, or genuine intent. If that is what this means, then the Plaintiff’s actions of spamming the monitor had no real value. No Doctor showed up, except for the one they already denied because of a title. A title with no legal bearing.

III. THE LAW

The Plaintiff requests remedy mainly on RCCA Part XI §4, that being Wrongful Seizure of Property. The law states that this is committed when an individual:

(a) being a government officer, seizes property without lawful authority; or
(b) being a government officer, retains property beyond a period authorised by law.

Let’s look at both of these. For the first offense, the Department of Homeland Security had lawful authority. They seized the property, that being a fine, under RCCA Part XIII §6. This section creates the violation of “Abuse of Public Resources” when an individual “frivolously uses a government sign service.” Like the Defense noted above, there isn’t a clear definition, but it makes sense to be something along the lines of “without purpose, value, or genuine intent.” There was no value or purpose in spamming the monitor and ignoring the Doctor who showed up. For the second offense, the law gives no point where they have to return the property, as it was a permanent fine.

The Plaintiff also has an alternative remedy, RCCA Part XI §6, that being Denial of Due Process, which happens when an individual:
(a) being a government officer or body, makes a decision affecting the plaintiff’s rights or interests; and
(b) fails to provide the plaintiff with notice and an opportunity to be heard; or
(c) fails to follow procedures required by law.

For the first requirement, the Defense did in fact make a decision affecting the Plaintiff’s interests, that being in their balance and money. However, for the second requirement, the Plaintiff had an opportunity to be heard. They made a Department of Homeland Security ticket to try and appeal the charge. Their appeal was denied, but they were heard. For the final requirement, the Department of Homeland Security followed every procedure required by law. There weren’t that many. Since Abuse of Public Resources is an administrative violation, it’s handled by the government without need of the Courts. The DHS didn’t get any warrants, because no property was searched. The fine was issued under the valid law. Even more, RCCA Part XI §6(d) grants an exception when “there is no statutory requirement to provide notice or an opportunity to be heard for the decision affecting the plaintiff.” There was no requirement in the Civil Code for the Department of Homeland Security to grant the Plaintiff the opportunity to contest the charge, but they did it anyway, as they normally do under the Criminal Code. The requirement the Plaintiff cites is for a judicial contestment, but the Department of Homeland Security doesn’t grant the opportunity to be heard for that.

IV. CONCLUSION

When one looks at the facts, it becomes clear that the Plaintiff did commit Abuse of Public Resources. They spammed the hospital monitor and completely ignored the Doctor that tried to attend them. There was no purpose in their use of the hospital monitor, and therefore, the Commonwealth is not liable in this case.

Signed,

Brief



IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT


DIRECT EXAMINATION OF MADMAN127



@Madman127, thank you for appearing. Please answer the following questions truthfully and honestly, from your own experience as a doctor, and in as much detail as you can.

  1. How long have you worked as a doctor for the Department of Health, and about how many patients have you attended?

  2. What title do you display, in chat and on your nametag, when you attend patients?


  3. Of the doctors you have seen attending patients at the hospital, roughly what proportion displayed a medical title, such as Doctor, Trainee Doctor or Medical Specialist?


  4. In your view, is it appropriate for a doctor to display the Doctor title when treating the public?


  5. When you attend a patient who has paged the hospital monitor, how does that patient learn which doctor is attending them, if at all, before you arrive?


  6. In your practice, may a patient decline treatment from you and wait for a different doctor?


  7. When a patient has paged more than once because no doctor has treated them yet, what is a doctor expected to do?


  8. When you take a patient into a patient room and leave to get their cure, what do you do with the patient room door, if anything, and why?


  9. Based on what you have seen at the hospital, do other doctors do the same with the patient room door?


  10. Is the practice you described in your answer to question 8 written in any Department of Health policy you know of?


  11. If a player who had arrested you shortly before came to treat you while displaying a police title, would you question whether that player was a doctor?




I once again, thank you for your time dedicated to the response of my questions.

Plaintiff (self-represented)

 
1. I became a trainee doctor in early august and became a doctor in early september, and have treated 750+ patients since then

2. I display the doctor nametag at all times because i believe its the most important job title i have

3. Id say about 4/5 use either doctor, trainee doctor, or medical specalists when treating patients

4. In my opinion, it doesnt matter. If im a patient i just want to be treated as fast as possible, and if it does bother me, or I dont think they are a doctor, I would just use /about (username)

5. I say their username when there are multiple patiens at once, and so do other doctors

6. Yes, a patients can decline treatemnt from any doctor for any reason

7. Sometimes all doctors are busy and cannot treat a patient. Its okay if a patient pages more than once if no doctor has treated them yet

8. I usually close the room door and say "ill brb" because i dont want the patient to go call for a doctor again while im treating them. Some patients do that so i keep the door closed unless I personally know them

9. Some do, and some dont, some talk a little more before getting treatment too, but I try to keep it quick

10. I am not sure if it is, but I was taught to bring the patient to a room and tell them to wait in said room.

11. No. as a doctor, I see lots of other doctors have other impotant jobs in you society, whenever that be a police officer, secratary, or the vice president, if they have the training to treat a patient, then I think its okay to do so (as long as they call that they are going to treat that patient in the DOH chat)
 
oh and by the way, I can only reply to question from 4:30 PM to 10 PM PST. Just thought you should know that
 

Brief



IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT


FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS TO MADMAN127



Yes, Your Honour. @Madman127, thank you for your answers. Eight follow-up questions, again from your own experience as a doctor.

  1. In your answer to question 11, you said a doctor who holds another job should call that they are going to treat the patient in the DOH chat. Can the patient see the DOH chat?

  2. In your answer to question 5, you described how you identify which patient you are treating. Before you arrive, does the patient receive any message telling them which player is coming to treat them?

  3. Other than the title a player displays, is there anything a patient can see, without running a command, that shows whether the player attending them is a doctor?

  4. In your answer to question 4, you said you would check a responder with /about. In your experience with patients, how does a patient who does not know that command tell whether the player attending them is a doctor?

  5. In your answer to question 8, you said some patients page again while you are treating them. When that happens, what do you do?

  6. Where did you learn to close the patient room door when you leave to get the cure? Were you instructed to, or did you pick it up from other doctors, including when you were a patient yourself?
  7. While you are away getting the cure and the patient room door is closed, can the patient open that door themselves?

  8. To your knowledge, does any Department of Health policy or training document say what title a doctor should display when treating patients?


Thank you again for your time.

1. No, the patient cannot see the DOH chat unless they are a doctor, trainee doctor, or medical specalsits.

2. No, the patient cannot see who is going to treat them. The doctor who will treat the patient says their name whem the doctor arrives to tell the patient its their turn to answer the question.

3. Not that I know of, no.

4. This happened once to me, what I did is i told them I was a trainee doctor (because I was one when this happened), and to run the /about (username) command if they didnt believe me. So i guess if a patient is not sure, they can either trust that the person treating them has medical training, or just ask them if they have medical training.

5. I dont do anything, If i cant treat them because im busy, I finish the task, or wait until I can stop the task for a moment, then treat them if there still paging for a doctor.

6. I picked it up from previous doctors, when I first started playing DC, I would constantly break my legs, so I would constantly go to the doctors, and they would commonly close the door to stop me from escaping (I never tried to though). When I became a doctor, I did the same thing because I also did not want patients from leaving without telling me. I found it fustrating when I spent time making a cure, only to find they left without my knowledge.

7. No, A patient cannot open that door themselves.


8. Not to my knowledge, no.

OBJECTION - SPECULATION

Your Honor, the Defense objects to question 3 under Speculation. In support thereof, the Defense alleges:

I. SPECULATION

An individual is only allowed to testify to their own experiences and thoughts. This question seeks an answer about a hypothetical patient’s knowledge and thoughts, not the witnesses’s. The witness cannot testify to how a patient comes to a conclusion on who their doctor is, as they are not the patient. Therefore, this question is speculative and should be stricken.

OBJECTION - COMPOUND QUESTION & RELEVANCE

Your Honor, the Defense objects to question 4 under Compound Question and Relevance. In support thereof, the Defense alleges:

I. COMPOUND QUESTION

An attorney cannot ask multiple inquiries in the same question. This question asks a question about where they learned it, then provided multiple examples and asks if they learned it there. This is a compound question and can confuse the witness, and therefore should be stricken.

II. RELEVANCE

Relevance “[o]ccurs when evidence presented is not relevant to the case, or a witness is asked an irrelevant question.” This case is about Abuse of Public Resources and a doctor who used a different title. The patient room door has no relevance to this case, and should be stricken.

Brief


IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT

ANSWER TO OBJECTIONS


Your Honour,

The Court granted leave for follow-up questions (Post #44). The witness answered all eight (Post #46). The Defendant then objected (Post #47). The Plaintiff answers each objection.

I. SPECULATION (the Plaintiff's fourth question)

  1. The Guide defines Speculation as a witness testifying "about something they have not directly observed" (Objections Guide). The question was limited to the witness's "experience with patients", and he answered from one: "This happened once to me", followed by what he and that patient did (Post #46, Answer 4). That is direct observation, by a doctor who has attended over 750 patients (Post #42, Answer 1).


  2. How a patient tells whether a responder is a doctor is the Defendant's own ground. Its Answer says "a reasonable person should assume" (Post #11, Defence (a)); its opening says the Plaintiff "could've checked" (Post #37). The Defendant cannot put the matter in issue and then object when a doctor describes what he has seen patients do.

II. COMPOUND QUESTION (the Plaintiff's sixth question)

  1. The Guide defines a Compound Question as one "that includes multiple inquiries". The sixth question has one inquiry: where the witness learned to close the patient room door. The second sentence lists possible answers to that one inquiry; it adds no second one.


  2. The witness was not confused. He gave a single answer to the single question (Post #46, Answer 6). The Guide's remedy, rephrasing into separate questions, has nothing to operate on.

III. RELEVANCE (the Plaintiff's sixth and seventh questions)

  1. The Defendant's own defence is that Department of Health policy "does not require always displaying the Doctor title when tending to patients" (Post #11, Defence (a)). Whether the Department's doctors act on written policy or on practice that patients rely on is therefore in issue. The witness was listed to testify to "the general practice of doctors" (Post #14). The patient room door is that practice: followed by every doctor the witness has seen, found in no policy (Post #46, Answers 6 to 8).


  2. The door is also tied to the conduct fined. The witness said he closes it because patients "go call for a doctor again" while he is treating them (Post #42, Answer 8). How the Department's doctors handle repeat paging goes to whether repeat paging is frivolous.


  3. The door entered the record in direct examination, questions 8 to 10 (Post #41), answered without objection (Post #42), and the time for objecting to them has passed (Rule 6.6). The sixth and seventh questions clarify testimony already in the record.

IV. THE MOTION TO STRIKE

The Court directed that an objection halts questioning until ruled on (Post #40). The Defendant raised none while the questions were pending and waited for the answers. The Plaintiff asks that the objections be overruled and the answers stand. If the Court sustains the Compound objection, the Plaintiff asks leave to re-put the sixth question in the Guide's form: "Where did you learn to close the patient room door when you leave to get the cure?"

Respectfully submitted,

OBJECTION - LEADING

The Defense also objects to question #6 under Leading. This question gives the witness a suggested answer inside the question itself which the Plaintiff seeks to confirm. The question notes possible answers to it, qualifying a suggested answer. Therefore, this question, and its' answer, should be stricken. The Defense notes that it has been over 24 hours since these questions were filed, but does wish the Court to allow it as counsel had school, then a migraine yesterday, and only had about 30 minutes to work on objections.

Brief



IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT


ANSWER TO THE DEFENDANT'S FURTHER OBJECTION



Your Honour,


The Defendant has filed a further objection to the Plaintiff's sixth follow-up question, under Leading (Post #50). The Plaintiff answers it.


I. THE OBJECTION IS OUT OF TIME


Objections are due within 24 hours (Rule 6.6). The question was posed in Post #45; the witness answered it in Post #46; the Defendant objected to it, on two other grounds, in Post #47. The Defendant acknowledges that this third ground comes more than 24 hours after the question and asks the Court to allow it anyway.


II. IT IS A SECOND OBJECTION TO THE SAME QUESTION


The Objections Guide allows "One Objection and one Counter ... per matter" (Objections Guide). The Defendant objected to the sixth question in Post #47. Leading was available to it then. The Plaintiff has answered that objection (Post #49). The Defendant now returns to the same question with a new ground.


III. THE COURT'S DIRECTION


The Court has already accommodated the Defendant at every stage:


  • a 48-hour extension for the Answer, on request (Post #9), then a further 24 hours on the Court's own motion (Post #10);



  • after the Defendant missed the interrogatory deadline without objecting or answering, a further 48 hours, with the direction "No further extensions will be granted at this time" (Post #18);



  • admission of evidence filed after discovery closed, with the finding that the Defendant had been lax in its adherence to deadlines and the warning that "any further breaches of the deadlines imposed will be met with penalties" (Post #26);



  • a 24-hour extension for the opening statement (Post #36).


The Plaintiff has met every deadline in this case. He asks the Court to apply the direction it gave in Post #26.


IV. THE MERITS, BRIEFLY



A leading question is one that suggests "the desired answer" (Objections Guide). The sixth question offered both alternatives, including "were you instructed to", the answer that would have favoured the Defendant. It suggested neither. The witness's answer, that doctors closed the door on him "to stop me from escaping" when he "would constantly break my legs" (Post #46, Answer 6), came from his own experience and from nothing in the question. Should the Court nonetheless prefer the plain form, the Plaintiff has already asked leave to re-put it (Post #49).


The Plaintiff asks that the objection be overruled as out of time and as a second objection to the same matter, or in the alternative on its merits, and that the answer stand.


Respectfully submitted,

Objection


IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
OBJECTION - SPECULATION

Your Honor, the Defense objects to question 3 under Speculation. In support thereof, the Defense alleges:

I. SPECULATION

An individual is only allowed to testify to their own experiences and thoughts. This question seeks an answer about a hypothetical patient’s knowledge and thoughts, not the witnesses’s. The witness cannot testify to how a patient comes to a conclusion on who their doctor is, as they are not the patient. Therefore, this question is speculative and should be stricken.

Overruled. The question asks the witness on a potential general practice and would not seek for the witness to speculate about a patient's knowledge or thoughts.

OBJECTION - COMPOUND QUESTION & RELEVANCE

Your Honor, the Defense objects to question 4 under Compound Question and Relevance. In support thereof, the Defense alleges:

I. COMPOUND QUESTION

An attorney cannot ask multiple inquiries in the same question. This question asks a question about where they learned it, then provided multiple examples and asks if they learned it there. This is a compound question and can confuse the witness, and therefore should be stricken.

II. RELEVANCE

Relevance “[o]ccurs when evidence presented is not relevant to the case, or a witness is asked an irrelevant question.” This case is about Abuse of Public Resources and a doctor who used a different title. The patient room door has no relevance to this case, and should be stricken.

Overruled on Part I, sustained on Part II. The questions asked, whilst they may relate tangentially to the matter discussed, are irrelevant to this matter in substance. A policy or practice of closing doors does not relate to displaying tags and the Court does not see any reasonable link between the two.

The Defense also objects to question #6 under Leading. This question gives the witness a suggested answer inside the question itself which the Plaintiff seeks to confirm. The question notes possible answers to it, qualifying a suggested answer. Therefore, this question, and its' answer, should be stricken. The Defense notes that it has been over 24 hours since these questions were filed, but does wish the Court to allow it as counsel had school, then a migraine yesterday, and only had about 30 minutes to work on objections.

Disregarded for being submitted late. Defendant was warned by this Court to follow the deadlines, even if this is a minor breach. No penalties are imposed.

@sillyjustin questions 6 and 7 are stricken, answers to the questions corresponding aswell. 48 hours to rephrase and for witness to answer.

I am informing the Court that I made a small change to the number of each question, as they all said 1 before.
 
1. I dont have an exact date, but it was as early as the first month when I joined (june this year)

2. Not directly in front of the patient, they teleport to a spot behind the counter, directly 2 blocks behind the computer where you can call for a doctor

3. Trainee Doctors, Doctors, medical specalists, and Pharmacists can craft cures for treatments.

4. Yes to my knowledge, StarKlower is a doctor

5. I have seen other doctors use other job titles, but I dont remember who they actually were, I just remember seeing other doctors using other job titles

6. In my opininon, No. the actual title doesnt mean anything for older users, but for newer users it could because newer users may not know about the /about command and could be worried that the doctor treating them could not be a doctor

Objection




IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT



OBJECTION - AMBIGUOUS




Your Honour, the Plaintiff objects to the Defendant's sixth question to the witness (Post #55): "Does the title an individual hold really mean anything when they are treating someone?"


The Objections Guide defines an ambiguous question as one that is "unclear or imprecise, making it difficult for the witness to answer accurately".

The question does not say to whom the title should "mean anything". It can be read three ways, and on the witness's own evidence the answer is different for each.

  1. Whether the title matters to the doctor giving treatment. The witness has said it does not: a doctor does not question a colleague who wears a police title (Post #42, Answer 11).
  2. Whether the title matters to the patient receiving treatment. The witness has said it is the only thing the patient can see: the patient cannot see the Department's chat, cannot see who is coming to treat them, and sees nothing else that shows the responder is a doctor (Post #46, Answers 1 to 3).
  3. Whether the title matters to the Department. The witness has said there is no policy on it (Post #46, Answer 8).

A single "yes" or "no" to the question as framed would not show which of the three the witness was answering. The Defendant could then present a "no" meant for the doctor as if it were an answer about the patient, which is the reading that matters to this case. The Court could not tell what the answer established.


The Federal Court sustained the same objection to a question about an "accepted exchange rate" on the ground that it was "imprecise: accepted by who?" and directed that it be rephrased (Commonwealth of Redmont v. Vendeka Inc. [2026] FCR 16, Post #32).

This Court did the same where a question did not say which statements it referred to: "I wish this question was more precise" (The Forge v. roy405 and PhatCat2200 [2026] DCR 154, Post #105).


The Plaintiff asks that the sixth question be rephrased to state to whom the title is said to mean anything: the doctor giving treatment, the patient receiving it, or the Department. The witness can then answer the question that is actually being asked, and the Court will know what the answer establishes.

Closing Statement


IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT​


PLAINTIFF'S CLOSING STATEMENT​


Your Honour,

The Defendant's case rests on one sentence from its Answer: "Any press after the initial one is frivolous and holds no purpose."

That sentence cites no law. It is the Defendant's opinion, and the Defendant has spent this case restating it instead of proving it.

I. WHAT THE COURT WEIGHS

The Plaintiff bears the burden on the balance of probabilities, as the Court directed in the Order to Show Cause, and has met it. Without prejudice to Part II §9(5) of the Redmont Civil Code Act, which would place the burden on the enforcing party, the result is the same under either standard.

The only element of Part XIII §6 is that the sign service was used frivolously. The Defendant's own opening says that means "without purpose, value, or genuine intent." The question is therefore the Plaintiff's purpose. On that question the evidence is the Plaintiff's own words at the time, from "i need a DOCTOR" to "Thank you doc", every one of them affirmed or uncontested by the Defendant.

Against this, the Defendant's evidence of no purpose is a count of presses and a log of another patient paging twice. It called no witness and tendered no statement from StarKlower, from whoever issued the fine, or from the officer who reviewed it. Nothing in its exhibits speaks to what the Plaintiff intended.

II. WHAT THE PLAINTIFF KNEW

The Defendant's case is that the Plaintiff knew the responder was a doctor and refused them anyway. The record shows the opposite, in the Plaintiff's own words at the time.

How doctors are recognised by players. A patient identifies a doctor the only way he can, by the title over the player's head. The witness testified that about four in five doctors display a medical title when treating patients, and every doctor who had treated the Plaintiff before did so, including a police officer who had handcuffed him as "Officer m0fky" that same day and came to treat him as "Doctor". That is how patients tell a doctor from anyone else. StarKlower could have cleared up the confusion the same way, in one command, and chose not to (section III).

Why this case exists. The Plaintiff contested the fine in the Department's own ticket, which the responder was handling personally, and asked for review by another officer. The review upheld it on the ground that he had refused "that doctor", a ground the Answer no longer maintains. Only then did he file.

III. WHAT STARKLOWER COULD HAVE SHOWN

The Defendant's first defence is that "if a person holds multiple jobs/titles, only one will appear." True. Which one appears is the player's own choice, and this player knew it.

The title is chosen, and it changes immediately. One command, /setprefix, changes the title in chat and on the nametag at once. Another player watched the Plaintiff's nametag go from "FI | sillyjustin" to "SL | sillyjustin" after a single command.

StarKlower knew how. In August StarKlower asked staff how to change the occupation on their nametag, was told "/setprefix", and three days later was chatting as "Trainee Doctor StarKlower". The Defendant admits that on 6 October StarKlower "held the job 'Doctor'" and "could have chosen to display it".

They chose not to. StarKlower arrived as Police Officer, was told "ur not a doctor it says police", and argued instead of running the one command that would have settled it. StarKlower was free to make that choice. What followed from it was a patient asking whether the person in front of him was a doctor, and that patient is the one who was fined.


A patient is entitled to check. The Plaintiff does not say that every doctor must display a medical title. He says that when a doctor chooses not to, the patient cannot be charged for noticing. The title is the only thing a patient can check, it said Police Officer, and the Plaintiff checked it: he said what he saw and asked for a doctor. The Defendant's position is that a patient who verifies who is treating him has abused the monitor. That is not what the statute says.


IV. THE WITNESS

Madman127, a doctor with over 750 patients attended, described the Department's practice.

  1. Paging again is normal. "Its okay if a patient pages more than once if no doctor has treated them yet." When a patient pages again while he is busy with them, "I dont do anything ... then treat them if there still paging for a doctor." No one presenting as a doctor had treated the Plaintiff. The Department's doctors answer a repeat page by treating the patient. This once, it answered one with a $600 fine.
  2. The title is all the patient sees. The patient "cannot see who is going to treat them." A doctor holding another job makes himself known "in the DOH chat", and "the patient cannot see the DOH chat." On cross examination he added that a responding doctor teleports "to a spot behind the counter", not to the patient.
  3. Doubt is answered, not fined. A patient once doubted that the witness was a doctor. He explained, and told the patient how to check. The Plaintiff raised the same doubt and got a $600 fine.
  4. No policy, either way. No Department of Health policy says what title a doctor should display. StarKlower was free to show Police Officer. The Plaintiff was equally free to ask whether a Police Officer was a doctor, and no policy says a patient who asks has done anything wrong.

V. THE DEFENDANT'S REMAINING ASSERTIONS

  1. "Any press after the initial one is frivolous." The Defendant's own sworn answer says a further press "may be warranted" and that "sometimes a Doctor requires another press for the plugin to properly recognise the patient." Its own exhibit shows another patient paging twice. After "ok will wait" there was one page, and it brought the doctor who cured him. The statute says "frivolously", not "more than once", and "Departmental guidance cannot add a condition that Congress did not envision" (MMiqa v. Department of Homeland Security [2026] DCR 77).
  2. "The evidentiary burden is met." Met with what? The Defendant has submitted no evidence that any press was frivolous except the presses themselves. A log showing that the Plaintiff pressed the monitor does not show why he pressed it.
  3. "They could've checked ... the entire time." No law or policy required it, as the Defendant has admitted under oath, and the Plaintiff did not know the command. The Commonwealth cannot assume that every citizen knows what its officers know. The element is purpose, not diligence: "Should does not mean did" (Commonwealth of Redmont v. Luke201556 [2026] FCR 15).
  4. "After DENYING treatment." The Defendant does not contest that the Plaintiff never refused anyone displaying a Doctor or Medical Specialist title. Declining treatment is not a violation: the Defendant admits under oath that a patient is not required to accept it. Questioning the credentials of the person offering it is not a violation either (section III). The Defendant treats both as if they were.
  5. "Unnecessary calls." Unnecessary is not frivolous (Inknet v. Commonwealth of Redmont [2025] FCR 86). The reviewing officer's opinion is the decision under review, not evidence that it was right.
  6. "Lawful authority." The Defendant says the $600 was taken with lawful authority, so it was not a wrongful seizure under Part XI §4. But the authority to fine under Part XIII §6 exists only if the use was frivolous. If it was not, there was no authority, and the money was wrongfully taken. The Defendant's answer assumes the very thing it has to show. The Complaint also pleaded a due process claim under Part XI §6; the Plaintiff does not pursue it.

VI. THE ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

The Court made three observations on the Complaint alone. Each is now answered by the evidence.

  1. "The Hospital Monitor can only summon those with a doctor title." It does, and the patient is told nothing about who was summoned. The summoned doctor appears behind the counter, a spot any player can set a home at and teleport to, as the Plaintiff later demonstrated. A player appearing in front of a patient proves nothing about who they are, so it is reasonable to check that the person offering treatment is a doctor before accepting it. The only thing there was to check was the title, and it said Police Officer.
  2. "Plaintiff has the responsibility of checking for himself using the '/about' command." The Defendant has since answered under oath that no law or policy imposes that responsibility. The Plaintiff did not know the command: he typed it as told, got an error, and within a minute was asking the whole server for any doctor instead. The Commonwealth cannot assume that every citizen knows what its officers know. A patient who does not know the command has only the title to go on, and the title said Police Officer.
  3. "It is quite common for citizens ... to bear the insignia of a different department." The Court is right, and they can also change that insignia at will, as StarKlower knew how to do. StarKlower chose to meet a patient wearing police insignia. A patient who questions whether a Police Officer is a doctor and asks for proof is not using the monitor frivolously.

VII. THE AMOUNT

If the Court finds any page frivolous, the penalty still cannot stand at 5 Civil Penalty Units. The Defendant admits there is "no clear guide on what fine to choose" and that "DHS normally charges the maximum." Nothing in Part II §5(2) was weighed, and the ground of the internal review, a refusal of "that doctor", is no longer maintained. Part II §5(3) lets the Court impose less. The Defendant did not answer the Plaintiff's opening on the amount.

VIII. RELIEF

  1. Reversal of the penalty and restitution of $600.00 (Part II §7(5); Part XI §4).
  2. In the alternative, a penalty of no more than 1 Civil Penalty Unit ($120) under Part II §5(3), with restitution of the balance.
  3. Legal fees of $3,000 under Part III §7(2)(d), as awarded to a plaintiff representing himself in MMiqa v. Department of Homeland Security [2026] DCR 77.

The rest of the Defendant's case is beside the element. Whether a title has legal weight, who can be summoned, what the Plaintiff could have checked: none of it is the question. The question is whether a patient who sees a Police Officer and asks for a doctor has used the monitor frivolously. The Plaintiff has proved his purpose with his own words at the time. The Defendant says he deserves the maximum fine, and has answered those words with no evidence, only its own opinion.

An opinion is not proof, and the Court weighs proof. The Plaintiff asks the Court to reverse the penalty.

Yours truthfully and respectfully,

sillyjustin
