Strickland v Ramsey County, et al

Named Officials and Entities

• Madeline Sally Machla Lee - Named for her role in weaponizing the police and courts to silence her critics.

• Court Administrator Nicole Rueger - Named for manipulating and altering court records to obstruct constitutional rights. Rueger's actions served as the entry point in a laundering chain: defective filings she created were then reinforced by Attorney Manderfeld, legitimized by Judge Starr, and carried forward by Bacon into the federal record.

• Attorney Kyle Manderfeld - Named for exploiting his prior role with the Ramsey County Attorney's Office to insert himself despite conflict of interest; for submitting false evidence; and for serving as the second link in the Rueger-Manderfeld-Starr-Bacon laundering chain.

• Judge Nicole Starr - Named for knowingly laundering defective and unsigned orders into the record while framing them in careful language ("seek another forum") to avoid appeal. Starr's rulings provided the third link in the laundering chain, giving altered documents a false appearance of legitimacy.

• Ramsey County Attorney Brett Bacon - Named for entering the case with knowledge of altered documents and perpetuating them. Bacon's filings completed the laundering chain by carrying falsified evidence into the federal record, aligning state and county defendants against constitutional oversight.

• Judge Mark Ireland - Named for unlawfully issuing a sua sponte dismissal of Plaintiff's open, docketed case on September 10, 2025, citing "imperfect service" despite a Certificate of Service on file. Ireland acted without assignment, exceeding his authority and obstructing appellate review.

• Referee Elizabeth Clysdale - Named for issuing unsigned HROs, presiding over due process violations, and repeatedly appearing as a defendant in civil rights actions, reflecting a broader pattern of obstruction.

• Referee Jenese Larmouth - Named for fabricating claims of evasion, upholding a void HRO, and openly mocking both parties; for presiding over her own recusal; and for issuing "findings of fact" riddled with falsehoods and altered documents to conceal misconduct.

• Referee Rebecca Rossow - Named for enabling known violations and obstructing correction.

• Referee Victoria Elsmore - Ned for preserving misconduct under her authority rather than correcting it.

• Court Administrator Michael Upton - Named for dismissive and evasive responses to Plaintiff's requests for transparency; for refusing to account for service irregularities; and for issuing the September 10 notice formalizing Judge Ireland's unlawful sua sponte dismissal.

• BGS Shareholder Bradley Kletscher - Named for serving as little more than a signature line for Barna, Guzy & Steffen, repeatedly filing late, recycling defective arguments, and embarrassing his own firm. Kletscher's incompetence is not incidental - it reflects systemic rot within BGS.

• Law Firm Barna, Guzy & Steffen, Ltd. - Named for ignoring repeated conflict inquiries, permitting employees to file false evidence in their name, shielding Manderfeld despite clear conflicts, and enabling retaliatory litigation that produced direct physical harm. Their reliance on Kletscher underscores a willingness to let incompetence carry liability.

• Ramsey County, Minnesota - Named for institutional denial of ADA rights, systematic obstruction of disabled litigants, and repeated failure to investigate or correct documented judicial and administrative misconduct.

• Ramsey County, Minnesota Sheriff's Office - Named for lying about notice of the HRO, disclosing Plaintiff’s address to her stalker, and enabling a void order through abuse of process.

• Meta Platforms, Inc. - Named for profiting from harassment and defamation, paying individuals to trigger Plaintiff's PTSD, silencing rebuttal attempts, and monetizing trauma as entertainment.
