1.     Plaintiff was a Nigeria Presidential Candidate April 2011 and since September 29, 2005 when they fled persecution in Canada to the United States of America his political opponents have adopted severe forms of economic sanction such as homelessness, lack of Employment Authorization Document (EAD), arson, starvation, zero income, etc as tools to disrupt his political campaign and family's peace.  1998 -present, harmful political strategy of Plaintiff's political opponents is use of criminal plan such as bribing service providers to implement sanction on right to employment authorization document and employment, homelessness, starvation, etc. On March 7, 2012 Southeast Housing Court (Brockton, MA Session) entered eviction/possession judgment (EXHIBIT D) in favor of the Plaintiff and his family to vacate the apartment  located at 506 Warren Avenue Apartment # 2, Brockton MA 02301 on June 6, 2012 and under the present U.S. state and federal poverty conditions of the Plaintiff and his family, effective date entered in this judgment they will be rendered homeless because of lack of money to continue payment of rent in an alternative apartment and without this judgment entered immediately in favor of the Plaintiff and his family, they will suffer matchless irreparable harm such as loss of education of the five children in school, homelessness of the entire family, the nuclear family will be scattered and destroyed; DCF will accomplish its political mission of re-seizing these children and returning them to criminals (adopters and foster merchants), etc 
                                                            2

PHILLIP OFUME V. DHCD  CIVIL ACTION NO. 11-1260
2.        On September 3, 2010 Defendant granted Plaintiff and his family, a family shelter located at 177 Sargeant Street B Holyoke, MA 01040 (EXHIBIT A).  The purpose of this program is to implement family's Housing Stabilization and Self-sufficiency (DHS) via employment and permanent housing which Plaintiff and his family must work hard to achieve.

3.     On September 6, 2010 Plaintiff and his family achieved this purpose because two members of the Plaintiff's family found job in Lynn, Peabody, Salem, etc and they traveled to these cities to start work;  thereafter Defendant's  Vendor, New England Farm Workers Council. Inc.(NEFWC) became infuriated and the vendor wrote several secret letters to immigration officials, department of children and families to make sure Plaintiff's family is destroyed and children placed in foster care.

4.       On September 9, 2010 without the consent of Defendant (DHCD), Vendor issued on  Plaintiff and his family NOTICE OF TERMINATION OF THE SHELTER. In opposition to the action of the Vendor, under Commonwealth of Massachusetts Regulations, Plaintiff appealed the Termination Notice pursuant to M.G.L. c. 23B, section 30;106 CMR. s. 309.010 309.020 309.021 309.030 309.039 309.040 309.047 309.050, Section 8 U.S. Housing Voucher Reform Act.

5.    At agency's administrative level  there were several pending administrative appeals and hearings, Vendor further proceeded to the Superior Court, Springfield MA Docket No. HDCV-2011-00025 to duplicate several appeals, complaints and costs and on January 31, 2011 Plaintiff and his family were evicted from the shelter and Plaintiff and his family did not us over seven (7) months of the Family Shelter Program benefits;

6.     On January 28, 2011 pursuant to the Superior Court Standing Order 1-96 thus, in an intervention Motion in support of Defendant's Counterclaim, Defendant (DHCD) opposed  its Vendor and said that Vendor's action is , “based on lack of  subject matter jurisdiction, lack  of personal jurisdiction, insufficient process, insufficient service of process, failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, and failure to exhaust administrative remedies.”(January 28, 2011)   EXHIBIT B;

7.   Summary Judgment should be granted to transfer seven months benefits which were unused to Brockton, MA because  the Defendant's own testimony shows that  Defendant opposed the action of its vendor and Defendant should restate Plaintiff's seven months unused shelter benefits immediately and renewed pending Housing Stabilization and Self-sufficiency (DHS) via employment and permanent housing.

C.                                UNDISPUTED FACT

For the purposes of this motion, the following facts are undisputed:
 8   In this  Honourable Court in October 2011 Plaintiff filed COMPLAINT FOR EMERGENCY TEMPORARY INJUNCTIVE RELIEF FOR TRANSFER OF SHELTER  BENEFITS FROM HOLYOKE TO BROCKTON, MA PENDING COMPLAINTS FOR JUDICIAL REVIEW PURSUANT TO M.G.L. c. 23B, section 30;106 CMR. s. 309.010 309.020 309.021 309.030 309.039 309.040 309.047 309.050; Section 8 U.S. Housing Voucher Reform Act. EXHIBIT C. 
9.    On March 7, 2012 Southeast Housing Court (Brockton, MA Session) entered eviction/possession judgment (EXHIBIT D) in favor of the Plaintiff and his family to vacate the apartment  located at 506 Warren Avenue Apartment # 2, Brockton MA 02301 on June 6, 2012 and under the present U.S. state and federal poverty conditions of the Plaintiff and his family, effective date entered in this judgment they will be rendered homeless because of lack of money to continue payment of rent in an alternative apartment and without this judgment entered immediately in favor of the Plaintiff and his family, they will suffer matchless irreparable harm such as loss of education of the five children in school, homelessness of the entire family, the nuclear family will be scattered and destroyed; DCF will accomplish its political mission of re-seizing these children and returning them to criminals (adopters and foster merchants), etc  EXHIBIT D.

10.    Paragraph 8 above  was served on the Respondent (Honourable Secretary of Justice and Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts ) and proof of service will be incorporated in support of this Motion and will be marked EXHIBIT C. Reference to paragraph 8 above several months sequel this service, Respondent/Defendant did not contest Plaintiff's Complaint.  Because there is no opposition, Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment be granted in full.
11.        At present daily/monthly income of the Plaintiff and his family is $0.00.  Because of the fact that under daily/monthly $0.00 income of a family of nine (9) persons (seven children and two parents) there is eminent danger of  HOMELESSNESS if this family is not provided with their unused seven months shelter benefits which is minimum humanitarian assistance pending issuance of USCIS's EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION DOCUMENT (EAD) and employment.

12.     Defendant, Department of Housing and Community Development ("DHCD"), Division of Housing Stabilization and Self-sufficiency ("DHS") is agency of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and it provides Family Shelter aimed at family's Housing Stabilization and Self-sufficiency (DHS) which include jobs and permanent housing.
                                                            4

PHILLIP OFUME V. DHCD  CIVIL ACTION NO. 11-1260
13.     Apartment located  at 177 Sargeant Street (B) Holyoke, MA 01040 was granted Plaintiff and his family by the Defendant (Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development - DHCD) on September 03, 2010 under Family Shelter Program hosted by the Division of Housing Stabilization and Self-sufficiency Program pursuant to   M.G.L. Part I Title II Chapter 23B Sect. 30; 106 CMR 309.040(C); and  M.G.L. c. 18 section 2 and the amortization period was September 3, 2010 through September 3, 2011 and maybe renewed if the housing stabilization and self-sufficiency for the client, family have not be completed.

14.     Defendant and Plaintiff agreed that Plaintiff and his family by working hard to find job which will enable transit to permanent housing which is the task given to all clients of this program thus they achieved Housing Stabilization and Self-sufficiency (DHS) which include jobs and permanent housing. Action of vendor based on unfounded allegation can not overrule the Regulation of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts which requests family client in this program to strive hard to achieve Housing Stabilization and Self-sufficiency (DHS) via jobs and permanent housing. This just what Plaintiff has achieved before all clients in the program and Plaintiff and his family did not violate any shelter rules.   .

D.                         MAJOR AND OTHER QUESTIONS IN ISSUE
Whether there are  Commonwealth of Massachusetts General law, Rules of Civil Procedure, Regulations and Natural Justice mechanisms; Constitution/Amendments of the United States of America; and UN international laws signed and ratified by the United States which sanction EA families  from searching for jobs and permanent housing to achieve  "Housing Stabilization and Self-sufficiency (DHS)"

E.                         ARGUMENT OF LAW AND FACT
So far Plaintiff searched within law body, there are no Commonwealth of Massachusetts General law, Rules of Civil Procedure, Regulations and Natural Justice mechanisms; Constitution/Amendments of the United States of America; and UN international laws signed and ratified by the United States which sanction EA families  from searching for jobs and permanent housing to achieve  "Housing Stabilization and Self-sufficiency (DHS)."  

Under this conclusion, Defendant who is has been the employer of the Vendor, NEFWC must be commander-in-chief and the employee position of the vendor can not overrule or govern or amend 106 CMR § 309.040 to satisfy the political ambition of the vendor.  Action of EA family or Plaintiff and his family is not CRIMINAL because  searching for jobs and
                                                            5
PHILLIP OFUME V. DHCD  CIVIL ACTION NO. 11-1260
permanent housing to achieve  "Housing Stabilization and Self-sufficiency (DHS)" are just and blessed by EA family courageous activity to be self-reliance in both employment and permanent housing.   On July 6, 2007, the Attorney General of Mass  informed the Court  in RIVERA v. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSISTIONAL ASSISTANCE, et al. Docket No. "that the regulation at issue here, 106 CMR 309.040 (F) (1) (A) had been amended, effective June 1, 2007, as follows: “For the purpose of this regulation the temporary emergency shelter benefits may be terminated on the basis of criminal activity only if the Department concludes by a preponderance of the evidence (more likely than not) that a member of the EA assistance unit is engaging in or engaged in criminal activity described[.]” The Court views the amendment as a clarification of an already existing policy and practice."

No answer as to why a hardworking family should severely punished and rendered homeless for working hard to leave emergency shelter and  relief the Commonwealth from further costs by finding job. If the mandates of the Defendant were Housing Stabilization and Self-sufficiency Program. In every showing under law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, United States of America and others, Plaintiff and his family's action on September 6, 2010 is lawful and just, they should not be punished to the extent of terminating their shelter benefits on January 31, 2011 and rendered them homeless.
In accordance with M.G.L. c. 23B, section 30;106 CMR. s. 309.010 309.020 309.021 309.030 309.039 309.040 309.047 309.050; Section 8 U.S. Housing Voucher Reform Act, Defendant found that Plaintiff and his family did not violate EA program pursuant to 106 CMR. s. 309.010 309.020 309.021 309.030 309.039 309.040 309.047 309.050 and swiftly Defendant filed Counterclaim against its vendor, NEFWC. Defendant moved under  the Superior Court Standing Order 1-96 thus, in an intervention Motion in support of it's Counterclaim, it moved in opposition to Vendor's premature termination of Plaintiff and family's shelter and said, “based on lack of  subject matter jurisdiction, lack  of personal jurisdiction, insufficient process, insufficient service of process, failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, and failure to exhaust administrative remedies.”(January 28, 2011).

In advisement, upon receipt of paragraph 8 above, Defendant, DTA and Deputy Director of EA Program did not call for the monthly and yearly income of Plaintiff and his family pursuant to 106 C.M.R. §309.040(D)(2)(a). DTA is under a court order to calculate each year what a parent needs to bring up his or her children in his or her own home. Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless v. Secretary of Human Services, 400 Mass. 806, 818 (1987). DTA is required to publish these calculations each year in a document called the “Standard Budgets of Assistance.”

Based on several reports of the BOARD OF HEALTH and the failure of the disputed apartment (506 Warren Avenue Apt. #2 Brockton, MA 02301) and failure of the apartment to pass several fitness tests and Plaintiff and his family brought count charges against the Landlords (RST INVESTMENT GROUP AND LANDLORD CONNECTION) pursuant to G.L. CHAPTER 23B, SECTION 30; M.G.L.
                                                            6
PHILLIP OFUME V. DHCD  CIVIL ACTION NO. 11-1260
CHAPTER 186 SEC. 18; M.G.L. CHAPTER 111; COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS SANITARY, CODE CHAPTER 11; MINIMUM STANDARDS OF FITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION; 105 CMR 410.000; M.G.L. CHAPTER 239, SEC. 8A;  5th and 14th Amendments of the Constitution of the United States and also vested in Bill of Rights; Tenancy with a Lease. On March 7, 2012 Plaintiff and his family prevailed and because action of the Landlords were fraudulent, there the Presiding Honourable Justice rule that landlords to forfeit over five months rents to the Plaintiff and his family in part advanced up to June 6, 2012 to enable Plaintiff and find better and habitable apartment in the City of Brockton.
Plaintiff and his family are experts in several field of studies and they are just waiting for their EAD cards and Permanent Resident cards to enable them get job and permanent housing because if the defendant fails to restate their seven month EA benefit they will not  achieve  "Housing Stabilization and Self-sufficiency (DHS)."   .   Parents and other employable family members have adequately and satisfactorily met their obligation as parents  and examplary kids by earning score of academic and professional qualifications which include but unlimited to Doctorat du 3e Cycle (DEA, D.E.Phil), Lyon France; Doctorat du 3e Cycle (DEA), Lyon France; Scolarite au Doctorat du 3e Cycle (S.Dr.), Lyon France; M.Sc.

Info Tech. –  Mass and Strategic Communications;  etc  Plaintiff speaks English, French and Nigerian languages.

Deeply, at present Plaintiffs and their entire household fall under U.S. state and federal poverty levels, unable to pay rents, court costs, utilities, mailing and transportation, etc. because of the political action sponsored and paid by lead Plaintiff’s political opponents  because of the greed aimed at acquiring oil/gas in Plaintiffs’ native place of origin, THE NIGER DELTA REGION of Nigeria which is direct retaliatory manifestation  as an opposition to lead Plaintiff’s  bid for the President of Nigeria 2007 – 2015 and campaign for civil liberties .  Issue maybe raised as to whether the injury which Plaintiffs and other members of their family suffer exemplifies   part or any of America’s democratic civilization? The answer is No. the world.
E.                          CONCLUSION/SUMMARIZED RELIEF

Reliant on the foregoing including EXHIBIT B,  consciously reasoned that the Defendant is aware that the eviction  action of its Vendors (New England Farm Workers Council et al)  on January 31, 2011was
                                                            7

illegal, extra/pre-judicial, oversight and wild claims, administratively incorrect and unconstitutional but Defendant allowed Plaintiff and his family to be punitively drifting from homeless to homeless, suffer seizure and removal of their children into cruel hands where the children suffered pains and hardship thus in this Complaint, Plaintiff and his family seek no additional costs for what they suffered and Plaintiff strongly request this Honourable Court to issue Order upon Defendant to continue the Shelter benefits in Brockton immediately effective November 1, 2011 pursuant to   M.G.L.
