Detrimental reliance happens when you rely on someone in authority to act fairly and follow the rules — and you get harmed because they didn’t. In law, it means: 👉 You reasonably believed the judge (or authority) would behave according to law, fairness, and due process… 👉 You relied on that belief during your case… 👉 And because the judge violated those standards, you suffered harm, loss, or prejudice. It is rooted in equity — meaning the court must act honorably if it expects YOU to honor its rulings. 🧠 Why It Matters in Judicial Misconduct Cases Most people walk into court believing: - The judge will be neutral - The judge will follow procedure - The judge will listen to evidence - The judge will not insult, bully, or shame them That expectation is reasonable. Judges swear an oath to do exactly that. So when a judge behaves like a wayward, rude, biased, or hostile authority figure, you can argue: “I relied on the court’s duty of fairness and that reliance led to harm because the judge abandoned neutrality.” This is detrimental reliance. ⚖️ How to Use Detrimental Reliance in Your Case...You can raise detrimental reliance in: 1. Judicial Misconduct Complaints Point out that you relied on the judge’s oath and legal duty to conduct themselves with fairness and impartiality — and that the misconduct caused: - Loss of rights - Skewed rulings - Financial harm - Reputation damage - Emotional/psychological injury - Procedural injustice 2. Motions to Vacate or Reconsider Show that the entire ruling is tainted because you relied on a “fair tribunal” that didn’t exist. A biased judge = constitutional defect. 3. Appeals Appeals LOVE this argument.Judges cannot violate your reliance on fundamental fairness. If they do, the ruling is often reversible error. 4. Civil Rights Lawsuits (42 USC § 1983) If the misconduct rises to a constitutional violation, detrimental reliance strengthens your argument that: - You expected due process - You were denied due process - You suffered actual harm because of that denial

This is directly from the IRS. “Coordination With Form 1099-C If, in the same calendar year, you cancel a debt of $600 or more in connection with a foreclosure or abandonment of secured property, it is not necessary to file both Form 1099-A and Form 1099-C, Cancellation of Debt, for the same debtor. You may file Form 1099-C only. You will meet your Form 1099-A filing requirement for the debtor by completing boxes 4, 5, and 7 on Form 1099-C. However, if you file both Forms 1099-A and 1099-C, do not complete boxes 4, 5, and 7 on Form 1099-C. See the Specific Instructions for Form 1099-C , later.”

Please don't get REAL ID You are enslaving yourself it is VOLUNTARY, despite what TSA and DMV tell you. There is an extensive list of government-acceptable documents that can be used instead of REAL ID. REAL ID expands federal surveillance and data sharing on you. It creates a legal joinder and commercial designation . It ties you to the ALL CAPS name (ens legis), reaffirming participation in commerce or corporate citizenship (US Person status), For those of us that fight to keep the living woman/man separate from the fictitious entity your birth certificate and social security number created. This ID makes you a "federal citizen". this blatantly violates State rights. Beware of anything being offered to you that claims to make life easier and more convenient. You are always giving up your rights for it. You can go back to the DMV and request a traditional license. I travel without a license in an automobile. I don't drive a motor vehicle when on public roads.
