Re: Request for an observer in a petition to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Dear President Carter,
My name is Neil Gillespie, age 57, a law-abiding, indigent, disabled citizen of the United States.
Recently I becanle aware of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR)
through your article U.S. Finally Ratifies Human Rights Covenant found on the Carter Center
website. http://www.cartercenter.org/news/documents/doc1369.html
October 23, 2013 I filed a petition for writ of certiorari in the U.S. Supreme Court and invoked
the ICCPR's protection from political persecution by The Florida Bar following the denial of my
Petition No. 12-7747 for writ of certiorari to the U.S. Sllpreme Court, denied February 19, 2013,
and rehearing denied April 15, 2013. The petition resulted from my experience with the courts
and unsuccessful attempts at justice in a civil lawsuit and disability-vocational rehabilitation.
Petition No. 12-7747 sought protection of consumers of legal and court services through better
regulation of lawyers, law firms, the practice of law, and state judicial officers affecting
interstate commerce, relying in part on Goldfarb v. Virginia State Bar that held lawyers engage
in "trade or commerce" and ending the legal profession's exemption from antitrust laws.
In May 2013 Diana R. Esposito, Florida Chief-Assistant Attorney General, provided me
incriminating public records showing the Respondents engaged in fraud or impairment of
Petition No. 12-7747, a legitimate governnlent activity (18 U.S.C. 371).
I am asking for a referral, an observer in my new petition, due to political persecution to
wrongfully foreclose my home on a "reverse" mortgage by McCalla Raymer LLC, wrongly
aided by U.S. Judge Wm. Terrell Hodges, Ocala Division, U.S. District Court. Also, an open
investigation by The Florida Bar of me for unlicensed practice of law for representing my own
interests pro se, made by Ryan C. Rodems, a partner ofa law firm that stole $7,143 from my
settlenlent in the Amscot case, which is how this matter got started. Each time I hired subsequent
counsel to represent nle, counsel ultimately betrayed me, as shown in Petition No. 12-7747. One
such former counsel is now wrongly threatening to disrupt my Social Security disability benefits.
Enclosed you will find my urgent appeal to Gabriela Knaul, Special Rapporteur, Independence
of Judges and Lawyers, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, and to Shuaib
Chalklen, Special Rapporteur on Disability, United Nations Enable (website), Secretariat for the
Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, for protection from political persecution,
and for an observer, due to fraud or impairment of Petition No. 12-7747.

As you know the Florida Commission on Human Relations has a role on the ICCPR, although I
am not certain what the FCHR is supposed to accomplish. In 1993 Social Security determined
me totally disabled, and I sought vocational rehabilitation (VR) for a congenital speech disorder.
Prior to that time I was self-employed and hired people to do the things I could not. But VR
would not provide services, and said my disability was too severe to result in employment. I
made a complaint of discrimination in 1998, see enclosed the EEOC Charge of Discrimination.
Also enclosed is my letter September 30, 2013 to FCHR. Since writing that letter I found my
file, although I do not have a response from the FCHR. Back in 1993 VR demanded that I pass a
psychological test because I sought services for a congenital speech disorder. Recently I was
reading the file, and see two things. First, VR discriminated based on my disability by using the
wrong assessment. Second, VR failed to diagnose mental impairment from a traumatic brain
injury I sustained in 1998 when I got mugged in Philadelphia. Mr. Rodems' law firm was
supposed to assist me with VR in exchange for me being a class representative, but never did so.
Enclosed is my current petition for writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court, and a copy of
the previous Petition No. 12-7747. The U.S. Supreme Court does not accommodate persons with
disability, and I got no response to my request for accommodation. The Supreme Court did not
respond to my request for a guardian ad litem either. Enclosed is my disability request.
Previously Justice Thomas granted my Application No. 12A215 to consolidate two appeals and
extended time to file to December 10, 2012. So what happened after that is troubling. Hopefully
you can refer someone to observe the proceedings in my new petition. Thank you.

RE: 1998 Charge of Discrimination - Florida Division of Vocational Rehabilitation
Records request and request for information update
Dear Ms. Wilson:
Enclosed is a copy of a Charge of Discrimination - Florida Division of Vocational Rehabilitation
filed by me June 2, 1998. The complaint is addressed to "Florida Commission on Human ReI.
and EEOC". What was the final outcome on this complaint? This is a request for the case
records. Also, please update my address, I now live in Ocala Florida.
Recently I became aware that a clinical psychologist who evaluated me when I first became a
client ofDVR was either not licensed by the state of Florida, or used a nickname and failed to
provide his business address in his report. The report itself show professional negligence and
disability discrimination, which I only recently came to fully understand. The Department of
Health is sending me a copy of the licensee's licensure file so I can figure this out. Does this new
information allow me to make another complaint of disability discrimination against DVR?
Thank you in advance for the courtesy of a response.

Re: Denied request for an observer in a petition to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Dear President Carter,
Thank you for your response denying my request for a referral for an observer in a petition to the
U.S. Supreme Court. This letter is to memorialize, acknowledge and accept your decision.
I appreciate your response, or the response made on your behalf, even though the one-line letter
is undated, unsigned, and does not carry a name of authorship. It actually reminds me of some
Florida court orders I have received in the past. I also appreciate your return of my documents.
That was very considerate of you. I appreciate your kindness.
I will remove you from the service list, and inform the u.S. Supreme Court of your decision.
Thank you again for responding, Mr. President. Best wishes for you and your family.
