vs. Transcript of Proceedings File No. 27-CR-18-9316
James Howard Campbell,
Defendant.
The above-entitled matter came before the Honorable Mel Dickstein, Judge of District Court at the Hennepin County Courthouse – Brookdale, Minneapolis, Minnesota, on May 14, 2018 at 9:45 a.m.
Appearances
Amanda Grossman, Assistant Brooklyn Park City Attorney, appeared on behalf of the State of Minnesota.
James Campbell, appeared as a self-represented litigant.
THE CLERK: Calling from Page 37, James Howard Campbell.
MS. GROSSMAN: Amanda Grossman, appearing on behalf of Brooklyn Park.
THE COURT: All right.
THE DEFENDANT: Hi.
THE COURT: Good morning. And you’re Mr. Campbell?
THE DEFENDANT: That would be me, Judge.
THE COURT: All right. Good morning, Mr. Campbell.
THE DEFENDANT: Good morning.
THE COURT: Mr. Campbell, you’re here without a lawyer.
THE DEFENDANT: That is correct.
THE COURT: Do you understand you have a right to a lawyer --
THE DEFENDANT: Yes.
THE COURT: -- and if you couldn’t afford one and qualified, I would appoint a lawyer to represent you.
THE DEFENDANT: That’s correct.
THE COURT: You may have been here when I explained to Mr. Webb before what lawyers do and how they can be helpful. Did you hear that?
THE DEFENDANT: Exactly.
THE COURT: All right. And did you understand it?
THE DEFENDANT: I understand it completely.
THE COURT: Do you have any questions of me?
THE DEFENDANT: Yes, I have a question with you,
Your Honor, I have been woefully –- the information pertaining to my case has been woefully withheld from me and I have a problem with that. And Ms. Prosecuting Attorney just told me that that would be -- I have to pay for that information. What happened to the data practice –- that’s supposed to be readily available information to me, electronically sent to me. Then I --
THE COURT: Okay. So --
THE DEFENDANT: Excuse me. And then I had a call from Deputy Chief Bruley from the Brooklyn Park Police Department threatening me over the telephone last week telling me that he personally told all the city council members not to talk to poor, black James Campbell.
THE COURT: All right. So let’s find out from the –- Brooklyn Park.
MS. GROSSMAN: Your Honor, first and foremost, we have –- we have not received any discovery requests but discovery requests have been submitted to the Brooklyn Park Police Department from Mr. Campbell and an
individual by the name of Mr. Nemmers (ph)–-
THE DEFENDANT: Nemmers (ph).
MS. GROSSMAN: Nemmers (ph), sorry. Who has stated that he is not Mr. Campbell’s attorney contacted at our office requesting discovery. Under the data practices rule, Your Honor, this is not discoverable because it’s an open criminal case and as such the discovery rules apply. I sent Mr. Campbell a discovery letter outlining how to request discovery and the fees which we charge for everyone and we haven’t heard back from him. Mr. Campbell did indicate that he emailed me. I have not received anything, but I did tell him as soon as he complied with the fee that everyone complies with --
THE COURT: All right. So, Mr. Campbell says that under the data privacy act that he shouldn’t be charged.
THE DEFENDANT: That’s correct.
THE COURT: But I don’t express an opinion with that regard to that. I don’t know what provision of the act and I don’t have -- is being referenced and I don’t
have the act before me.
MS. GROSSMAN: And, Your Honor, and I can pull up the statute. I don’t have the exact one under but it does say data practices makes confidential any case that
is under open investigation by a police department or has
criminal charges pending which -- or open -- which is this case here.
THE COURT: I understand that’s with regard to Mr. Nemmers (ph) request for information. But now Mr. --
MS. GROSSMAN: No, it’s for everything, Your Honor.
THE COURT: All right. So Mr. Campbell is raising the issue of whether not he should be charged for the production of the documents that are properly --
THE DEFENDANT: Pertaining to me.
THE COURT: -- produced in the course of this criminal case. And what is the statutory support for the charge?
MS. GROSSMAN: It’s the Criminal Rules of Evidence, Your Honor, and I can –- I apologize –- I can pull up the correct statute but it does state that under, I believe it’s Rule 9 states that the State can charge reasonable reproduction fees same as defense attorneys.
THE COURT: Are you –- are you talking about the Rules of Criminal Procedure?
MS. GROSSMAN: Yes, Your Honor.
THE COURT: Because you said the Evidence Rules.
GROSSMAN: Oh, I apologize. I –- Rules of Criminal Procedure.
THE COURT: All right. Do I have the rule book?
THE CLERK: Yeah.
THE COURT: All right. Let’s just take a look for a moment, Mr. Campbell. Let’s see what the prosecutor is referring to. So Rule 9, what?
MS. GROSSMAN: I’m looking, Your Honor, I apologize.
THE COURT: All right, it’s 9.05.
MS. GROSSMAN: 9.05.
THE COURT: Is that what you’re referring to?
MS. GROSSMAN: Yes, Your Honor.
THE COURT: So here’s what Rule 9.05 of the Rules of Criminal Procedure provide, Mr. Campbell. This is what the prosecutor is referring to. It says –- it’s entitled “Charges and Exemptions for Reproduction of Discovery in All Cases.” It says, “A reasonable charge may be made to cover the actual costs of reproduction but no charge may be accessed to a defendant who is 1) represented by the public defender or by an attorney working for a public defense corporation under MNSTAT, section 611.216 or 2) determined by the court under Rule 5.04 to be financially unable to obtain counsel.”
THE DEFENDANT: That’s it, I’m indigent. I’m poor, black James Campbell.
THE COURT: So would you raise your right hand?
(Whereupon the Defendant was duly sworn.)
THE COURT: All right. So, Mr. Campbell, are you currently employed?
THE DEFENDANT: No, I am not.
THE COURT: What is the source of your income?
THE DEFENDANT: Disability.
THE COURT: What do you obtain per month?
THE DEFENDANT: Right now that’s at question because there’s money being stole from me as we speak right now so that in itself is a problem.
THE COURT: Well, just tell me what amount you say you should be receiving.
THE DEFENDANT: I should be receiving anywhere from 12 to $1,300 but that’s another story too.
THE COURT: Okay.
THE DEFENDANT: Because there’s an issue wherethere’s $28,000 that had been stolen from me as well.
THE COURT: All right. So let me ask this. Do you own a home?
THE DEFENDANT: No, I don’t.
THE COURT: Do you have any substantial assets?
THE DEFENDANT: No, I don’t.
THE COURT: Ms. Grossman, anything further?
MS. GROSSMAN: No, Your Honor.
THE COURT: All right. So I’ll find that Mr.
Campbell qualifies to receive the production of the Rule 9.05 subd. 2. And you should –- you should if you have not already make a written request to the prosecutor for those documents and the prosecutor will produce them to you.
THE DEFENDANT: Thank you.
MS. GROSSMAN: Your Honor, we were forwarded the written request that was made to the police department and he’s made the request here so we’ll send that to him.
THE COURT: Okay.
MS. GROSSMAN: If I may, Mr. Campbell, do you still reside at 6281 Louisiana Boulevard?
THE DEFENDANT: That’s correct.
MS. GROSSMAN: Number 203.
THE DEFENDANT: That’s correct.
MS. GROSSMAN: Your Honor, it will take a little bit of time. There is electronic video that does take time to --
THE COURT: All right.
THE DEFENDANT: Five minutes?
MS. GROSSMAN: -- produce.
THE DEFENDANT: Five minutes?
MS. GROSSMAN: We have a lot of people requesting discovery so --
THE COURT: All right. This isn’t the time.
We’ll give you a couple of weeks.
MS. GROSSMAN: Thank you, Your Honor. And I’ll make sure that it gets –- all of the police reports as well as the electronic discovery gets mailed to Mr. Campbell.
THE COURT: All right. So we’re here for an arraignment. We’ll enter a not guilty plea on your behalf, Mr. Campbell.
THE DEFENDANT: Oh, no. Not –- not guilty. Not guilty.
THE COURT: Yes, that’s what I just said.
THE DEFENDANT: Right. I’m innocent.
THE COURT: That’s what I said, we’ll enter a not guilty plea. Have you receive a copy of the complaint?
THE DEFENDANT: No, I haven’t. Well, the one that I got from Hennepin County.
THE COURT: Yes.
THE DEFENDANT: Yes.
THE COURT: That’s what I mean. Do you require the reading here or is it sufficient that you received a copy?
THE DEFENDANT: I got it from Hennepin County. I didn’t get anything today from here so what is it that I need?
THE COURT: Let’s get you the copy of the complaint.
THE DEFENDANT: I’m familiar with the complaint, Your Honor --
THE COURT: All right. Well that’s why I’m --
THE DEFENDANT: I’m –- I’m just needing my –- I’m needing my evidence that’s woefully being withheld against me.
THE COURT: Let me explain. You’re entitled to a copy of the complaint.
THE DEFENDANT: Which I already have.
THE COURT: You’re entitled to have it read here in open court if you wish. Usually people waive that if they have a copy --
THE DEFENDANT: I’m going to waive that. I’ve already read it.
THE COURT: All right.
THE DEFENDANT: Thank you.
THE COURT: So we’ll set a new date about four weeks out. That’ll be a pretrial. A pretrial is an opportunity for you to meet with the prosecutor after you’ve received the discovery to see if your matter can be resolved.
THE DEFENDANT: Okay.
THE CLERK: June 11 th at 9:30.
THE COURT: June 11 th at 9:30, does that work for you?
THE DEFENDANT: No, that –- we have to kind of go down the end of the month there. Could it be like in the 27 th , 28 th , somewhere around there?
THE COURT: Of June?
THE DEFENDANT: Yeah.
THE COURT: All right.
THE CLERK: We have the 25 th or the 29 th .
THE DEFENDANT: All right, the 29 th .
THE CLERK: All right. That’s a Friday.
THE COURT: What about the following week?
THE CLERK: We can do the following week, July 2 nd or 6 th .
THE COURT: July 2 nd or 6 th ?
THE DEFENDANT: It doesn’t work for me, the 27 th works good.
THE COURT: Oh, the 27 th works, or the 29 th .
THE CLERK: 29 th , yeah.
THE COURT: The 29 th . All right, the 29 th .
THE DEFENDANT: Could that be at noon?
THE CLERK: We can do 9:30 or 1 p.m.
THE DEFENDANT: 1 p.m. that’s great.
THE COURT: All right, we’ll see you then. We’ll give you a reminder slip. Have a seat, the clerk will
THE DEFENDANT: Thank you, Your Honor.

subject: Harassment Hennepin County "Retired" Judicial Officer Mel "Hates On James Campbell" Dickstein
mailed-by: gmail.com
Lee Sheehy, Chair - Judicial Selection Committee:
I've attached clear, precise and unquestionable evidence of harassment by your Hennepin County "Retired" Judicial Officer Mel "Hates On James Campbell" Dickstein. Not only is your crooked as a dog's hind leg Dickstein aiding and abetting the Brooklyn Park City Attorney Micheal "Hates on James Campbell" Colich http://www.colichlaw.com/index.php/attorneys/item/85-michael-j-colich in the illegal withholding of poor, black, falsely accused James Campbell's evidence from him, but now even Chief Hennepin County Judicial Officer Ivy S. Bernhardson http://www.mncourts.gov/About-The-Courts/Overview/JudicialDirectory/Bio.aspx?id=365 is aiding and abetting on the harassment in Case No. 27-CR-18-9316 State of Minnesota vs poor, black, falsely accused James Howard Campbell. What evidence do I have? Yesterday, the day after "Retired" Judicial Officer Mel "Hates On James Campbell" Dickstein put poor, black, falsely accused James Campbell under under oath the determine that he was poor, "Retired" Judicial Officer Mel "Hates On James Campbell" Dickstein willfully refused to sign the attached Supplemental Affidavit for Proceeding in Informa Pauperis. So poor, black falsely James Campbell was forced to waste is limited and scare resources on a trip to see a signing judge. The signing judge willfully refused to sign the attached Supplemental Affidavit for Proceeding in Informa Pauperis until poor, black, falsely accused James Campbell crossed off "poor, black, falsely accused" from the Supplemental Affidavit for Proceeding in Informa Pauperis. See attached. Now some harassing transcriptionist is demanding to know how poor, black, falsely accused James Campbell wants the transcript sent to him. You will notice that poor, black, falsely accused James Campbell clearing provided a mailing address and an email address. FYI: Poor, black, falsely accused James Campbell and his witness Gloria Coney are writing up a complaint as we speak.
