It's my understanding that everyone is ready to proceed this morning; is that correct?

o0o
COMMISSIONER JONES: Back on the record in the matter of Sharon Jeep v. David Jeep.
MR. SCHLESINGER: I do renew my objection based--I renew my objection to all the testimony about physical abuse, physical harm, and threatened harm, based on it being outside the scope of the pleadings.
COMMISSIONER JONES: Overruled.
The Court finds--First of all, the Court amends the pleadings to conform with the evidence adduced.[1] The Court does find the allegations of the amended petition[2] to be true. The Court does enter a full order of protection against the Respondent. This order will supercede the ex parte order of protection entered in this cause on the 3rd day of November and serves to terminate that order.
The Respondent should not use, attempt to use, or threaten to use physical force against the Petitioner that would be reasonably expected to cause her bodily harm, should not stalk, abuse, threaten to abuse, molest, or disturb her peace wherever she may be found. He also shall not communicate with her in any manner or through any means.
And he is also further restrained from the residence at 16325 Centerpointe Drive in Wildwood, Missouri 63040.
This order will expire the 19th day of November, the year 2004.
MR. SCHLESINGER: Your Honor--
COMMISSIONER JONES: That will conclude the hearing.
MR. SCHLESINGER: Your Honor--

[1] This surprise finding, which over rules the petitioners own assertions is in direct conflict with Due Process of Law. The Respondent NEVER had a chance.
[2] There were TWO post trial motions for this “amended petition” it was never provided nor was the respondent ever allowed to heard on this “amended petition”
