That never happens in Boulder because they set everyone up to fail. Through my hard work and compliance, I succeeded. It has now been over 2000 days since I have spoken with my son. That alienation is far more harmful to any child than simply recognizing that I complied with your pathetic orders. After I showed that I had complied, Judge Buttler (the one that lets rapists back into the community) ordered me and only me to do an evaluation with a "therapist" that I have a conflict of interest with. Furthermore, he restricted my right to file anything in my case making it impossible for me to show that I have a conflict with the "therapist". Buttler has violated my right to due process. The result is the complete alienation of a loving and capable parent from a child. There is no protection order in my custody case because I have never harmed my child. Judge Buttler, even rapists and murderers speak to their children, I never raped or murdered anyone. In fact the "victim" in my criminal case wrote you (Butler) a letter of character on my behalf. Boulder "court" is proof that only rich people get to know their children. Please retaliate against me and arrest me so that I can explain all of this to a jury. Russell Daniels 2010DR49

The presentation begins promptly at 545p and lasts for 5minutes. The lights are orchestrated with holiday music and shows real well. Even on a Saturday, the crowd was minimal so we had a good view from Civic Center Park. A nice way to bring in a little cheer to your evening. Thank you Denver for continuing this tradition in 2020.

Just bring one copy and your checkbook. Don't bring exhibits or multiple copies - they won't get used. 2) Drive over to the Weld County Sheriff's Office (says WELD COUNTY LAW ENFORCEMENT ADMINSTRATION on the building) and pay a fee to have the defendant served. 3) Prepare your case. Read the "Small Claims Handout / 19th Judicial District Handout" and follow all instructions. FYI it won't matter how nice the paper you use for exhibits is, they scan everything and your actual papers will never be seen by the magistrate. 4) You are not required to list your exhibits on the JDF 72 Exhibit List form they give you. 5) On the day of your trial (always Thursday?) get there at least an hour ahead of the trial time (always 1:15p?). Go back to a CIVIL SMALL CLAIMS window and tell them you want to provide your exhibits to the court. They will scan all of your documents and take your USB thumb drive. You will not get these things back. Note: they have to remove all staples before scanning. 6) It's okay not to provide the defendant with a copy of your exhibits until the trial. 7) The well-prepared plaintiff will observe some cases before the day of your own trial. Observers are allowed. As this is written, cases are on the 2nd floor of the Centennial Center in Courtroom C. 8) The magistrate will take care of some preliminary business and then order opposing parties to go into little rooms, sit across a table from each other, and try to work out a deal. This is where your provide a copy of your exhibits to the defendant to keep. You will discuss your exhibits and the defendant's exhibits. Everyone will probably realize who has a strong case and who doesn't. Note that there's no arbiter present. It's just you and the defendant(s). 9) If you reach a deal, you will fill out a form that's there in the room stating what the agreement is. Don't worry if you don't know how to fill it out completely (we didn't). Just fill out what you can and go back to the courtroom. Of course, make it clear to the magistrate what part(s) you need assistance with. The magistrate is understanding and helpful. 10) If you did reach a deal, the magistrate will make it official. If you did not, both the plaintiff and defendant will present their cases, and the magistrate will rule. The whole process isn't super complicated, but they don't tell you these things. I couldn't guess why; every single Small Claims participant needs to know this stuff.

If you are "lucky" enough to make it through that round, you will be taken upstairs to the courtroom for the voir dire process.
