IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF CARROLL COUNTY, MARYLAND WILLIAM HOGE, Plaintiff, v. No. C-16-70789 BRETT KIMBERLIN, et al., Defendants DEFENDANT BRETT AND TETYANA KIMBERLIN'S RESPONSE TO THE JUDGE MASTER'S ORDER DEFERRING RULING ON REQUEST FOR POSTPONEMENT OF ‘TRIAL DATE Defendants Brett and Tetyana Kimberlin respond to the judge Master's April 24, 2017 Order Deferring Ruling On Request For Postponement of Trial Date. 1. The Court requests that Defendants (1) confer with Plaintiff to determine the other party's position, (2) set forth an agreeable date with the Plaintiff and Assignment Officer, and (3) attach documentation establishing the need for postponement. 2 Defendants are unable to comply with the Court’s order for the following reason, First, Plaintiff s an adjudicated stalker of Defendants and their minor child who has been stalking and harassing them for years. As such, Defendants will have absolutely no communication with him outside of the courtroom, 3. Second, Defendants have never agreed to anything with Plaintiff and will not startnow. Defendants assume, and this Court should also assume, that the parties cannot agree on atrial date. Defendants can state for the record that they can attend any trial dates in September and October 2017, 4. Third, Defendants will not provide any information on the dates, times or places they will be traveling in August. Why? Because Plaintiff is a dangerous,deranged stalker who tracks and follows Defendants and has attempted to kidnap with others, Defendant Tetyana Kimberlin and her minor daughters. Defendants have had to provide round the clock, 24/7 security to themselves and their minor daughter because of Plaintiffs obsessive behavior that has terrorized and victimized Defendants, and continues to do so. 5. Defendants believe that providing any information on their whereabouts, their itinerary, or whether of not they are traveling together or alone will give Plaintiff lead that he can use to track, harass and terrorize them. 6. Defendants are shocked that this Court would even issue the order for Defendants to communicate and cooperate with the person who has victimized, harassed and stalked them and their minor daughter. Judge Creighton from Montgomery County Circuit Court found that Plaintiffs stalking and cyber bullying of the minor daughter constituted “child abuse” that could land him in state prison, Yer this Court has ordered Defendants to communicate with him. 7. Judge Hecker is well aware that Plaintiff has been stalking and harassing Defendants and their child for years and Defendants have had to file Peace Orders and criminal charges against Plaintiffin order to get him to stop. Yet, not even that has worked. Now Plaintiff is under federal investigation for violating the Violence Against Women’s Act because of his obsessive stalking of Defendants and their child, 8. Summary judgment motions have just been filed in this case and therefore it may be prudent for the Judge Master to wait until those have been ruled on prior to setting a trial date. Ifnot, any trial date after August 2017 is acceptable to Defendants.9. Defendants have consulted with Defendant Bill Schmalfeldt and he is agreeable to any date in September or October 2017.
