WILKES-BARRE – A lawyer at Mount Zion Baptist Church believes there is circumstantial evidence of racial discrimination in the Wilkes-Barre City Council vote not to replace land zoning with a planned church and networking room.
Attorney Michael Melnick, on behalf of Mount Zion, filed a reaction to the municipality’s request to dismiss a request through the church to overturn the council’s resolution to preserve land along South Sherman Street, zoned for heavy industries.
Mount Zion, a small church with limited parking on Hill Street in Wilkes-Barre, plans to build a new church and network corridor along South Empire Street in the borough. The location is a forest in front of the Mayflower apartments in Wilkes-Barre.
Although the Municipality Planning Commission changed the zoning of an M-3 heavy business district to an R-3 residential domain under the municipality’s zoning ordinance, the council rejected the zoning request at an assembly in April 2019.
Melnick in court records said the council had announced the April 2019 assembly and had invited church officials prior to its vote.
Melnick filed a lawsuit in Luzerne County Court last year for the council’s resolution to be overturned.
Last month, the town attorney, John Rodgers, filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, the Luzerne County court had no jurisdiction to rule on an appeal.
Rodgers argues that the court has the strength to interfere with the council’s legislative process.
Melnick responded by arguing that the April 2019 council vote violated the church’s right to a fair hearing by inviting them to the assembly when the board voted.
“This is circumstantial of racial discrimination in the sense that the wil-white Wilkes-Barre Municipality Council has refused to replace the zoning of Mount Sion Black Baptist Church,” Melnick wrote in his reply.
Melnick noted that the board voted to reject the replacement for zoning in April 2019 following the objection of his own lawyer, late attorney Bruce Phillips.
Phillips then postponed the hearing to the board, which “approved” his previous resolution on May 28, 2019, Melnick wrote.
Melnick believes he has jurisdiction to rule on the trial.
Rodgers can be contacted to comment Thursday on Melnick’s response.

Cirko rejected that of a social employee in the county public defender’s office, Comet said in the motion.
Comet said a Psychiatric assessment of Cirko is mandatory for his competence and intellectual ability to perceive criminal proceedings and lend a hand in his defense.
In a similar question, Comet attempted to have the rate of weapons of mass destruction ignored by arguing that the law came with physical fluids.
First Deputy District Attorney Sam Sanguedolce and Deputy District Attorney Drew McLaughlin argued at Cirko’s initial hearing on June 25 that they needed a “threat” to prosecute the rate of weapons of mass destruction that opposed it.
A hearing is scheduled for October 6 at Cometa’s to dismiss the charge.
Cirko negative for coronavirus as a result of the alleged incident. She remains free on bail of $50,000.

In his appeal, Sansone stated that he believed Vough deserved C-Y recordings to be legal during the trial and allowed his lawyer to ask the woman if he was watching pornography.

The High Court also noted that Vough had kindly prevented Sansone’s attorney from asking the woman about pornography in her testimony.

WILKES-BARRE – Luzerne County Judge David W. Lupas, the trial of former Wilkes-Barre attorney Robert Matthew Collins would take place at Mohegan Sun Arena.
Lupas made the announcement at the end of Thursday’s movement hearing on notable legal issues.
And there’s trouble.
Collins, 55, arrested twice through state police in 2019 on charges of eight women who say he sexually assaulted them while on duty as a city police officer. Collins resigned from force in February 2019 after being arrested for the first time.
A 26-year-old boy who made accusations died in December of an accidental drug overdose.
Lupas said the arena would provide enough space for jurors to move away from others, adding witnesses, lawyers, a stenographer and a clerk.
The opinion ruled that microphones and a speaker formula will be placed and that lawyers will be required to remain on a podium when addressing the jury with the initial and final arguments and questions addressed to witnesses.
All trial attendees must wear a mask, except for witnesses who bear testimony.
The state’s deputy attorney general, Bernard A. Anderson, would like jurors to see the witnesses’ facial expressions.
Lupas said efforts are being made for jurors to wear masks.
Collins’ sexual assault crime trial is scheduled to begin on October 19.
A few days before the trial began, Lupas stated that everyone involved in the process could enter the impromptu courtroom and offer suggestions, such as seat layout and podium location.
Details of the jury variety have been discussed, or whether it will take place in court or in the arena.
Regarding legal matters, Lupas said he would conduct a face-to-face camera review of the investigation files of state police criminals.
Lupas first rejected a request to reconsider its previous resolution which the defence suggests Evan T.L. Hughes can’t download state police records.
After a personal meeting between Lupas and Hughes in which Collins’ lawyer discussed the defense strategy, Lupas said he would conduct a closed-door review of the archives to determine whether state police would be ordered to hand over the documents to Hughes.
Stevan Kip Portman, associate counseling for the state police, said the files are similar to investigations involving members of the city’s police.
Anderson said the investigating soldier opened a separate investigation record, but included Collins with other officials, and added the arrest of two city police officers for bank fraud offenses arising from the federal credit union of employees of the city of Wilkes-Barre.
“The soldier has opened a separate file,” Anderson said. “Collins’ investigation has extended to other misconduct by agents.”
Despite Lupas’ resolution on the investigation file, Anderson said everything related to Collins had been entrusted to Hughes.
Another legal factor discussed through Anderson and Hughes is the criminal record of the 8 alleged victims.
Lupas said lawyers would be allowed to offer criminal background if they occurred within 10 years.
The sentencing also allowed the testimony of three other women who allege that Collins, while on duty, made outlandish sexual comments to force them into sexual acts.
Anderson described Collins’ technique to the other three women as a “signature,” making sexually particular comments and promising that he could make the criminals’ fees or fines disappear if they committed an obscene sex act.
