About this archive

Madder v. Ramsey is the public-source record of Strickland v. Ramsey County et al., a federal civil-rights case pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota. This site collects the filings, the actors, the documents, and the procedural irregularities — all linked to their primary sources — so the case can be read, verified, and cited by anyone.

The case in two paragraphs

Autistic indie game developer Onion Madder became the target of a cyberstalker. What followed was a sequence of events so bureaucratically bizarre they read like satire — yet every moment is drawn straight from the evidentiary record. Unsigned harassment-restraining orders. A deputy who called the victim under the guise of "victim services" to extract her address, which was then delivered to her stalker. A court administrator who recognized the plaintiff's name when she called for ADA accommodations and refused them. A judge introduced abruptly mid-case, credited with decisions she never heard.

The pattern is the case. What started as a single harassment-restraining order has become a documented record of due-process failures, ADA retaliation, and a Register of Actions that does not behave like a stable court record should. The federal action names the individual judicial officers, court administrators, county counsel, the cyberstalker and her attorney, the sheriff's office, and the institutions whose machinery sustained the harm.

[Editorial: fill in current procedural posture — federal case number, what's pending, what's been ruled on. One or two sentences.]

Who is the plaintiff?

Kellye Strickland — known online as Onion Madder — is an autistic indie game developer, OSINT investigator, and digital archivist. She is the founder of Mad Sundar LLC and is representing herself pro se in the federal action while a contingency-retained attorney handles state-court work.

She built this archive with the same tools and discipline she uses in her day job: open sources only, every claim traceable to a primary document, every actor named with their public role. The archive serves both as a record and a signal — to other litigants who recognize the pattern, to journalists looking for documented public-records grounding, and to officials whose duty it is to look.

The systemic argument

Most cases in this docket can be dismissed as "clerical error" if you only look at one of them. The structural argument of Strickland v. Ramsey County is that the errors are not clerical — they're architectural.

Ramsey County maintains two incompatible systems of record for the same case. The public-facing MCRO view is explicitly labeled "informational only." The internal attorney-facing Register of Actions, treated as authoritative by county counsel in federal court, presents a different chronology — non-sequential index numbers, retroactive insertions, missing entries. The same defect surfaces in unrelated Ramsey County matters (Wright, Scheffler, others), in cases that have nothing to do with this plaintiff, ruling out the possibility that the discrepancy is user error or litigation strategy.

Under Monell, that pattern — if proven — describes municipal custom, not isolated bad acts. A court system in which the timeline itself is unstable is a court system in which procedural rights cannot meaningfully be exercised.

Finality without authenticity is not justice — it is foreclosure.

How this archive is organized

Five entry points, each with a different shape of evidence:

• Involved Parties — the Cast of Characters. Eighteen actors organized by role (judicial officers, court administration, attorneys, law enforcement, institutions, adverse party). Each has a dossier with the documented record of their involvement.
• Live Updates — chronological case posts as developments occur. Filings, rulings, contempt motions, federal interventions, and the structural parallels emerging in other litigation.
• Full Archive — the document layer. PDFs of filings, exhibits, orders, and noticed irregularities, organized by filer.
• Glossary — plain-language definitions of the legal, procedural, and technical terms used throughout. Where a term appears in this case, a case-note tells you exactly where.
• Submit a Tip — the receiving end. Documentation of similar irregularities in unrelated Ramsey County matters is actively wanted.

Where to start

If you're a casual reader — start with the Cast of Characters and skim the Antagonist + Defendants sections. The blurbs are short; the color-coded role chips let you see at a glance who's who.

If you're a journalist — start with the Relationship Map at the top of the cast page (who represents whom), then the Live Updates for chronology. The document archive has primary sources for every claim made on the site.

If you're another pro se litigant who recognizes parts of this pattern — start with the ROA entry, then the Wright update for the cross-case parallel. The tips form takes documentation.

If you're an official whose desk this lands on — start with the systemic argument section above and the Cast. Then read whichever dossier is named in your jurisdiction.

How to help

Documentation. If you have records that mirror what's documented here — divergent ROAs in unrelated Ramsey County cases, unsigned orders that became binding, ADA accommodation denials, retaliation patterns — the tips form takes attachments. Submissions are confidential unless you authorize follow-up.

Amplification. Share the dossiers and updates with anyone for whom they're useful — journalists, civil-rights organizations, other litigants, oversight bodies. Direct links to individual sections work; every section heading in this archive is an anchor.

Financial support. Strickland is a disabled litigant on SSI carrying federal civil-rights work largely pro se. Direct support keeps the archive maintained and the litigation moving.
