Dear IPR Director,

i allege infringements of my right to appeal. i filled out the form, although not with the help of the attorney. i have asked for all ADA accommodations and do not understand why you do not recognize my Invisible Disability.

I have spoken publicly about Trauma induced by male violence at Portland city council, which is a part of why it is so particularly cruel of portland to inflict additional violence on me, when i chose to advocate for victims of Male Violence.

How many words, paragraphs, etc would you like me to write?

Would you give me an extension in respect of ADA?

Why is my form not clear to you? and my reason for appeal?

How much of my verbal presentation do you expect in writing?

Just because i am concise does not mean i have no case.

If i have a lawyer help me prepare something, can we gain an understanding of what you consider sufficient?

i dont understand why filling out the form is not enough.

There is an email it appears you have disregarded.

You said you would provide a hearing date, and to provide more information, but did not specify what you need and what format, and for whom.

My questions about the hearing were ignored.

I will copy paste it in case you did not originally receive it.

i was awaiting your response to my questions, and began to worry why you promised me a hearing date, but would not elucidate answers to my questions and specifically what further communications you sought.

Am i to use Officer A & B format?

Subject: Internal Affairs appeal for Mary Eng at CRC Portland

Thank you for the invitation to Appeal my Internal Affairs claim for the
Portland Police event 6/29/16 when officers briskly chased me outside of
city hall, for a reason unbeknownst to myself.

The Injuries i sustained were true in my subjective experience of pain and
trauma. I am Sure Portlan Police's subjective experience of infallibility
also incurrs a feeling on non-injury. Except certain details, like Allison
Walz wincing in discomfort as i explain my wrist injury in MCDC dungeon,
nodding as i asked if i would get medical care.

Please note that as a person who takes great interest in the law, my
"enjoyment" of the whole bizarre experience does not negate the PAIN and
Discomfort i felt at injury. The Logical Fallacy that the brain cannot
experience Intellectual Curiosity and Pain at the same time, is a bit naive.

Pleasantries On-Camera do not negate Injuries Off-camera.

i just mailed in my appeal of Internal Affairs findings re: my arrest as i
was leaving city hall 6-29-16 after speaking about Americans with
Disabilities act rights as it pertains to blind people, disabled people,
and police brutality victims who are also disabled.

I want you to know that i take the concerns enumerated very seriously and
have mailed my appeal form.

I would highly suggest Officers in Question to be present, as well as Jon
Rhodes.

I have never emailed Engstrom or Walz, and wonder if there is any
additional way of encouraging them to attend the appeal, or if it is purely
a matter of their own preference.

It is my desire to maintain a high degree of decorum and respect, and not
in any way demean any parties for any misunderstandings about the law, my
rights, or their responsibilities.
I believe it would be refreshing to have a reunion and also look at the
positives.
it might give them closure, as it might me.

I appreciate the staff resources it takes to hold these meetings and have
concerns from an audio-visual angle that the public is only permitted to
film the BACKS of HEADS of the Injured party, while CRC board members get a
full face shot , IPR reps, and police get side angles.

I am concerned this inhibits audio quality, and gives preferential
treatment Staff in disrespect to Citizens.

I would like to know, that if and when the appeal is scheduled, and if we
are so lucky as to have citizen film-makers present, can the cordoned off
area permit face angles of the Complainant, in this case me.

I do not want my word to be lost to ineffectual camera angles.

It is a pity the city refuses to make video archives of CRC, and by failing
to employ full tech, leaves the burden on unpaid volunteers.


(Microphones are often very insufficient at city hearings, and it is
frequently difficult to hear the police representatives and sometimes IPR.)


I very much look forward to discussing my concerns regarding Noncompliance
with the Anti-retaliation clause of the settlement agreement.

Also Jon Rhodes, what are the ways i can gain all case material prior to
this hearing?

Where is the 911 call?

I would like an audio file as well as transcript. I know you have a
transcript. Will you share?


Also, i would like to know if there are documents i would like to display
in a digital manner, will there be an easy plug in. I believe i saw Matt
Klug doing a great job with his laptop.

If so is an apple computer fine too?

That's all i can think of now, and i wish we had this face-to-face in July,
it has been such a long wait, but perhaps time heals!

Mary Eng

__________________________________________________________________________________________

I complied with all the requirements.  Your assertion otherwise boggles my mind.  If there is something more that you need from me in writing, i suggest you respect my "processing difficulties" aka Disability and lay out what you need in terms of additional written material.  i will then try to comply with your formatting request. Deciding you personally disagree with the reasons for my complaint as filed, does not negate their validity.

Are you telling me to give you different reasons for the complaint.

Please note VAWA issues in PPB bullying me for being a survivor of homicidal stalking violence.

PPB assaulted me, and used Pickering's assault to exculpate themselves.

You must realize how devastating it is to be assaulted twice in one month, with a Police Force who protected my stalker, using his violence to exculpate themselves.

How collaborative!

I hope you would like to see these serious issues discussed at a hearing. But i understand if you have more important things to discuss besides Violence to Women.

i cite:

B. The request for review must be filed within 14 calendar days of the complainant or member receiving IPR's notification regarding disposition of the case.  The Director may adopt rules for permitting late filings.   When good cause has been established, the Director may accept late filings. Good cause includes, but is not limited to:

1. Appellant has limited English language proficiency.

2. Appellant has physical, mental or educational issues that contributed to an untimely request for review.

Ms. Eng,

As I wrote in my April 24, letter to you, IPR was unable to schedule an appeal in this case because in your appeal notice and other communication, you did not include a reason why you were dissatisfied with the investigation as required in City Code 3.21.140(D)(4).  I do not have the authority to disregard City Code provisions that are applied to all potential appeal cases.

this is my immediate reaction to the IA self-exoneration mailed with the appeal form 

Constantin Severe does not answer any of these procedural questions, just ignores me and then closes my case.
