Affidavit of

Jurisdiction
I, Brian P Carr, am the petitioner in these matters, have knowledge of the facts of these matters and make the following statements under oath and penalty of perjury.

  1. From the Clark County Superior Court Chief Administrator's Office, I received three Orders appointing Clark County District Court Judges Eiesland, Anders, and Schreiber as Superior Court Commissioners in 2005. These three orders are attached as Exhibit A.
  2. As Article IV, Section 23 of the Washington State Constitution states that in each county the Superior Court can appoint Commissioners 'not exceeding three in number' there is a question as to whether these Commissioners ever had jurisdiction in these matters.
  3. These orders were not presented previously because until February 19, 2005 I had no knowledge of the Order signed by the Honorable Eiesland on January 19, 2005. These orders are being added to the record as, while Judge Johnson would certainly be aware of the appointments, the Court of Appeals would not.

Notice of Service:
On March 30, 2005, I mailed a copy of this affidavit and attached exhibit along with the amended Designation or Record on Appeal of the same date to Karyn in an envelope addressed to Karyn, xxxxxx, Vancouver, WA with first class postage attached which I placed in a U.S.P.S. mail box located at Stark Street and SW 5th Ave, Portland, OR.

I also certify that this affidavit was prepared personally without the advice of any attorney and that I understand that the court by entering a decree or other order does not relieve myself of the responsibility for any omissions, defects, or inaccuracies in the file or matters presented or any consequences resulting therefrom.
