To the Honorable Active Judges of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit:
This is not a standard appellate filing; it is a notification of a constitutional collapse within your own Circuit that your Clerk’s Office has actively prevented you from seeing. I am writing to you directly because the administrative safeguards of this Court have been weaponized to hide a life-threatening crisis involving a 100% disabled combat veteran, Conrad Rockenhaus (Case No. 25-1974).
Each of you has authored seminal opinions defending the integrity of the judiciary, the limits of executive power, and the sanctity of the Bill of Rights. Yet, right now, a “John Doe” U.S. Marshal has been permitted to use a “secret” state warrant to raid the home of a federal witness just days after she sued him for sexual harassment. They used this warrant as a cover for violence… violence that has left my husband seizing to death in the SHU, where they are keeping him without pain relief or seizure medication, as a retaliatory measure for whistleblowing. This is an act of retaliation so flagrant it mocks the Fourth Amendment.
While a District Judge (Murphy) dismisses this terror as “his wife’s behavior,” your own Clerk, Alicia Harden, has engaged in the unauthorized practice of law to block my emergency motions from reaching your docket. The specific facts of this case affront the very legal principles each of you has spent a career defending.
To Judge Eric L. Clay (Re: Judge Murphy):
Your Honor wrote in Liggins that Judge Murphy’s bias undermined public faith in the judiciary. On October 14, 2025, Judge Murphy referred to my report of sexual harassment by a federal agent as ‘his wife’s behavior’ and admitted he was weighing it against my husband’s liberty. The bias has not stopped; it has escalated to retaliation against a crime victim.
To Judge Karen Nelson Moore (Re: The “John Doe” Marshal):
A U.S. Marshal sexually harassed me. I sued him. One week after the suit was filed, the same Marshal led a raid on my home, held me prisoner, and pointed a gun at me while my disabled veteran husband, Conrad Rockenhaus, was beaten unconscious. My husband later suffered a grand mal seizure in duty court from that injury. He has not been treated, and he is currently seizing to death in the SHU at FCI Milan, as a retaliatory measure enforced by Warden Eric Rardin. This was not law enforcement; it was a hit.
To Judge Raymond Kethledge (Re: Clerk Alicia Harden):
I tried to alert this Court to the life-threatening medical neglect resulting from that raid. Your Clerk, Alicia Harden, returned my motions ‘unfiled’ without judicial review, engaging in the unauthorized practice of law to protect the bureaucracy at the expense of a disabled veteran’s life.
To Judge John K. Bush (Re: The Warrant):
When Federal Marshals want to raid a home but fear a Federal Magistrate will say no, is it the law of this Circuit that they may simply obtain a ‘secret’ warrant from a County Judge to bypass the Fourth Amendment? That is what happened here (U.S. Marshal Brett Fimbinger went Judge Shopping to get a judge to authorize the violence against us).
CONCLUSION
The evidence of these violations, including the video of the retaliatory raid, the “secret” warrant, and the medical logs of Mr. Rockenhaus’s resulting seizure, has been preserved and is publicly available on this website. I also have hard proof that the Department of Justice and the Office of the United States Courts have been monitoring this record for months; they know the liability they face. You no longer have the luxury of claiming this information was kept from you by a Clerk’s “unfiled” stamp. The administrative blockade has been pierced, and Actual Notice has been established. We respectfully request that you exercise your inherent supervisory powers to retrieve the rejected filings (Emergency Motion and the Supplement to the Emergency Motion), review the evidence of “John Doe’s” retaliation, and intervene sua sponte before a brain-injured veteran dies in federal custody. The Constitution does not allow a “Shadow Docket” to hide torture.
You are highly respected Federal Judges of the United States of America. Do not let this happen on your watch or in your court.
Respectfully,
Adrienne Rockenhaus Wife, Caregiver, and Next Friend of Conrad Rockenhaus
