Once you realize you’re standing in an administrative court, the next step is to take action. This article gives you ready-to-use tools to assert your rights, withdraw consent, and demand your case be heard in a constitutional court of record.
Below are templates and step-by-step instructions to help you take immediate legal action.
TEMPLATE #1: Notice of Non-Consent to Magistrate Jurisdiction
Title: Notice of Non-Consent to Magistrate Jurisdiction and Demand for Article III Court
Body: I, [Your Name], hereby declare that I do not consent to the jurisdiction of this court under any administrative or legislative authority. I demand that this case be transferred to a constitutional court established under Article III of the U.S. Constitution, where due process and inalienable rights are fully protected.
This objection is made pursuant to:
- Article III, Section 2, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution
- 28 U.S.C. §636 (Consent required for magistrate jurisdiction)
- Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969)
- Brady v. United States, 397 U.S. 742 (1970)
I do not waive any rights. I reserve all rights, remedies, and protections under the Constitution.
Respectfully submitted,
[Your Name]
[Your Address]
[Date]
TEMPLATE #2: Demand for Proof of Jurisdiction
Title: Demand for Proof of Jurisdiction and Authority
Body: To Whom It May Concern,
This is a formal demand that the court provide lawful evidence of its jurisdiction over my person and property. Jurisdiction must be proven on the record, not presumed.
I request:
- Proof that this court is an Article III court with proper authority
- Proof of consent obtained knowingly and voluntarily
- Legal documentation showing valid judicial power
Until jurisdiction is proven, any proceedings are a violation of my rights under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.
[Your Name]
[Date]
TEMPLATE #3: Objection to Administrative Venue
Title: Objection to Administrative Venue and Assertion of Constitutional Standing
Body: I object to the administrative nature of these proceedings and assert that I am a living man/woman with full constitutional standing. I reject any presumption that this tribunal has jurisdiction over me or my property without my express, written, and voluntary consent.
No such consent has been given. I demand a dismissal or transfer to a court of record.
Signed, [Your Name]
[Date]
How to Use These Templates
- Edit with your details – Replace brackets with your name, address, and case number.
- Print and Sign – Always sign by hand and date the documents.
- File with the Clerk of Court – Make sure it goes on the official record.
- Serve All Parties – Send a copy to the judge, prosecutor, and any opposing counsel.
- Get Proof of Service – Use certified mail or court filing stamps.
Bonus Tip: Add an Affidavit of Truth
Attach a sworn affidavit to support your filing. State that your facts are true, your consent was never granted, and that all jurisdiction must be proven.
This strengthens your filings and increases the legal pressure on the court.
Final Word: Make the Record Work for You
These tools are your armor. Courts operate on paper, not feelings. When you document your objection, withdrawal of consent, and demand for lawful authority—you turn the presumption of jurisdiction into a legal burden they must meet.
And when they can’t meet it, they lose.
