If you are going to court for any matter when dealing with foreclosures and don’t have a lawyer, these are some cases that you should motion the court to take Judicial Notices of for your own protection:
.
These should be included under the section of “Judicial Notice” in your pleadings.
.
Caldwell v Miller, 790 F. 2d 589, 595 (7th Cir. 1986) “Pro Se litigants are not held to the stringent standards applied to formally trained members of the legal profession, and their pleadings are to be liberally construed.”
.
The United States Supreme Court, in Haines v Kerner 404 U.S. 519 (1972), said that all litigants defending themselves must be afforded the opportunity to present their evidence and that the Court should look to the substance of the complaint rather than
the form.
.
In Platsky v CIA, 953 F.2d 26 (2nd Cir. 1991), the Circuit Court of Appeals allowed that the District Court should have explained to the litigant proceeding without a lawyer, the correct form to the plaintiff so that he could have amended his pleadings accordingly. Plaintiff respectfully reserves the right to amend this complaint.
