Plaintiff JOHN GREGORY LAMBROS, Pro Se, requests a ruling from this Court under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, RULE 18, JOINDER OF CLAIMS AND REMEDIES, and any other applicable rules as to the addition of new defendants within this action due to affidavits and exhibits introduced by defendants on August 30, 1999, within defendants "OBJECTIONS TO REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS," specifically the August 16, 1999, AFFIDAVIT OF MARC DIERSEN, so as to preserve Plaintiff's due process rights under RES JUDICATA and COLLATERAL ESTOPPEL, in this action. Plaintiff is attempting to consolidate all claims in one proceeding, if this court deems it correct, so as not to split causes of action.

5. BRAZILIAN PERSONS to also be included are the attorneys that

United States Parole Commission:

7. Plaintiff has fulfilled the notification of the parties listed
within paragraph two (2) by PROCESS OF SERVICE BY PUBLICATION and RULE 4 FRCP,
as outlined within EXHIBIT A. SF( Also., RENCHARD vs. HUMPHREYS & HARDING, INC.,
59 F.R.D. 530 (D.C.D.C. 1973) (In action brought by a District of Columbia resident

Page 3.

AGAINST GOVERNMENT OF BRAZIL for damages to his home allegedly resulting from construction of BRAZILIAN EMBASSY, SERVICE OF SUMMONS and COMPLAINT UPON GOVERNMENT OF BRAZIL by registered mail delivery to Minister of External Relations in Brazilia and by registered mail delivered to the Brazilian embassy in the District of Columbia were reasonably calculated to provide adequate notice of action and BOTH METHODS OF SERVICE WERE VALID.)

8. Plaintiff Lambros asserts continued prejudice resulting from the parties listed in paragraphs two (2) and five (5).

9. Plaintiff Lambros asserts that the parties in paragraph two (2) HAVE NOT RESPONDED TO PLAINTIFF LAMBROS' COMMERCIAL LIEN, thus failure to deny is AN ADMISSION OF GUILT. As this Court understands, no more than a lawful affidavit is necessary to generate a PRIMA FACIE case. See, U.S. vs. KIS, 658 F.2d 526, 536 (7th Cir. 1981); U.S. vs. POWELL, 379 US at 57-58.

10. The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit APPROVED AND ALLOWED THE USE OF THE "COMMON LAW LIEN" that was filed in the deed records office in Denton, Texas against a criminal investigator with the Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service. See, U.S. vs. REEVES, 752 F.2d 995 (5th Cir. 1985). When, as a practical matter, legal remedy may be inadequate because it operates too slowly, self-help remedy provided by LIEN is allowed under Illinois law. See, LAKE RIVER CORP. vs. CARBORUNDUM CO., 769 F.2d 1284 (1985). A COMMON LAW LIEN is a mere right in one man to retain that which is in his/her possession belonging to another until certain demands of the person in possession are satisfied. See, BELL vs. DENNIS, 93 P.2d 1003, 1005, 43 N.M. 350. Commercial liens are commercial paper and negotiable instruments. Commercial liens imply a debt in the absence of any lawful money.

RES JUDICATA & COLLATERAL ESTOPPEL:

Page 4.

11. A basic principle of the U.S. legal system is that once something is decided, it should stay decided; the same parties are not permitted to litigate the same issues over and over. To prevent this, the legal system developed the doctrines of RES JUDICATA and COLLATERAL ESTOPPEL, which apply in virtually all types of legal actions. These doctrines are sometimes referred to as, "claim preclusion" and "issue preclusion,11 respectively.

12. RES JUDICATA (Latin for "thing decided") means that you cannot bring a lawsuit if there has already been a judgement on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction in a prior suit involving the same parties or their privies. See, LAWLOR vs. NATIONAL SCREEN SERVICE, 349 U.S. 322, 326 (1954); WILLIAMS vs. CODD, 459 F. Supp. 804, 811-16 (S.D.N.Y. 1978).

13. If any of the following conditions do not exist, then res judicata DOES NO APPLY and the second suit is not barred:

a. JUDGEMENT ON THE MERITS. In a civil case, a judgement is
on "on the merits" if it decides the question of whether the
plaintiff's legal rights were violated by the defendant(s).
A judgement is not on the merits if the court holds it does
not have jurisdiction, that the case is moot, or anything
else unrelated to the legal claim concerning the case.
b. COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.
C. THE SAME PARTIES OR THEIR PRIVIES.

d. THE SAME CAUSE OF ACTION. The meaning of "cause of action"
is not precise, but as a practical matter, any significant
difference between the FACTUAL ISSUES in the first and second
lawsuits may mean they are not the same cause of action. See,
LANDRIGAN vs. CITY OF WARWICK, 628 F.2d 736, 741 (lst Cir. 1980).
Different legal claims arising out of the same facts may still
amount to the same cause of action. Some courts have held that
all claims that could have been brought in one suit are barred
by res judicata. The Supreme Court has not decided this question.
See, ALLEN vs. McCURRY, 449 U.S. 90, 97 n.10 (1980).

14. COLLATERAL ESTOPPEL is the principle that you cannot relitigate factual or legal issues which were actually litigated and decided in a prior suit involving Plaintiff. regardless of whether the same cause of action was previously litigated. See, LAWLOR vs. NATIONAL SCREEN SERVICE, 349 U.S. 322, 326

Page 5.

(1954).

15. If it is impossible to tell what was litigated and decided in a prior action, collateral estoppel CANNOT APPLY. See, RUSSELL vs. PIACE, 94 U.S. 606 (1876).

16. The party asserting collateral estoppel has the burden of proof as to what was litigated and decided. See, HERNANDEZ vs. CITY OF LOS ANGELES, 624 F.2d 935, 937 (9th Cir. 1980).

17. Collateral estoppel also cannot apply unless the prior judgement
was based on a full and fair OPPORTUNITY TO LITIGATE. See, ALLEN vs. McCURRY,
449 U.S. 90, 104 (1980). Circumstances that may VIOLATE THIS REQUIREMENT are
lack of COMPETENT REPRESENTATION, See, CERBONE vs. COUNTY OF WESTCHESTER, 508
F.Supp. 780 (S.D.N.Y. 1981), lack of any representation at all, UNFAIR LIMITS
ON WHAT ISSUES could be pursued or what EVIDENCE COULD BE PRESENTED, or Plaintiff's
failure to receive adequate notice of the hearing or motion upon which the court
based its decision.

18. Collateral estoppel also cannot apply if an issue was previously decided but the ruling on that issue was not necessary to the decision in the prior case - i.e., if it was "dicta." See, HYMAN vs. REGENSTEIN, 258 F. 2d 502, 510-11 (5th Cir. 1958).

19. COLLATERAL ESTOPPEL COMPARED TO RES JUDICATA, as defined by BLACK's LAW DICTIONARY: "[Res judicata" bars relitigation of the same cause of action between the same parties where there is a prior judgement, whereas "collateral estoppel" bars relitigation of a particular issue or determinative fact. See, ROPERvs. MABRY, 15 Wash.App. 819, 551 P.2d 1381, 1384.

CONCLUSION:

20. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Lambros requests this Court for a RULING as to the addition of parties listed within paragraphs two (2) and five (5)

Page 6.

of this action, so as to preserve Plaintiff Lambros' due process rights under RES JUDICATA and COLLATERAL ESTOPPEL, in this action. Again, this Plaintiff is attempting to consolidate all claims in one proceeding, if this court deems it correct, so as not to split causes of action. Plaintiff believes the ultimate question before this court is: "WHERE CAUSES OF ACTION IN BRAZIL, AS TO PLAINTIFF'S ARREST THRU EXTRADITION, PART OF THE SAME TRANSACTION AS THOSE IN THE UNITED STATES DURING HIS TRIAL?"

21. 1 JOHN GREGORY LAMBROS declare under the penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Title 28 U.S.C.A. §1746.
