JUDGE OF THE SUPERIOR COURT

Copy of the foregoing mailed

April 28,2004 to:

Janet Burton

Judge made clear errors by stating his reasons to be that of Arizona's statutory law and literally makes up translation of Arizona's statutory exemption as only applying to circumstances in which two parents agree. This clear misconception of an "agreement" is never implied in Arizona's statutory immunization laws.  This case had no business in the family courts.  The judge tossed all facts aside and refused Janet Burton of her legal state provided parental right to refuse inoculation.    He also admitted his reason to be based on the numerous exhibits Janet provided in her arguments which gave evidence of statewide child abuse by inoculations.  An implication (and scientific fact!) he was not willing to accept.
